A dynamic type system is an incremental improvement over a weakly typed type system, and still will not guard against runtime errors. They are equally dangerous w.r.t runtime errors.

Right, but Python gives you the illusion of safety. And the person I was replying to was trying to dismiss this interesting Ansible alternative because it was written in a language he doesn’t like.

Python has dynamic typing, which can be equally dangerous. In fact I’d argue it’s more dangerous. You will not throw errors until runtime, which will literally blow up in your face.

> No, it's not. It's 2020, we need to stop it with the stringly-typed, footgun-filled madness that is bash scripting. Ansible is written in Python. You could make the same argument.

> Either public figures deserve a measure of privacy or they don't. The real answer is that it depends. If a public figure is abusing their position, then yes, it is in the public interest to know about this abuse of power. Imagine

He’s not an officer of a publicly traded corporation, and has no fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. It’s a completely different case from being doxxed.

As a public figure you cannot have any reasonable expectation of privacy. That’s different from saying what should be done with his private medical records.

Right, but my point is that those who grew up in that era did not adopt condom use until much later. Old Steve was known to get around a lot.

As an officer of a public corporation, how much privacy can one expect? I agree that he had a right to privacy, same as anyone else.

Not only was it a scam, it was the first time in US history that a shadowy cabal of unelected federal government officials tried to invalidate the results of an election. It also led to the erosion of rule of law, which will impact the US g

HIV can cause Kaposi’s sarcoma, so that could have caused his cancer. It’s actually not that far outside the realm of possibility. Condom use was not very common in the 70s and one can live with HIV dormant for many years.

I've never read of any type of coronavirus causing myocarditis and heart failure in patients. Also have never read of coronavirus being present in other locations of the body, other than nasal/sinus area and lungs.

The strange thing about SARS-CoV-2 is that viral load varies in human tissue. You could have small concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 in cardiomyocytes, for instance.

That’s not entirely true. “Every Man Lives By Exchanging” means that everyone is constantly giving and taking in an exchange. That exchange can be free monetarily or not, doesn’t matter. It’s only when third parties interfere with this natu

It was an economic basket case, however. That’s why so many Indians left during the socialistic policies of Indira Gandhi. It was due to socialism that India regressed and fell behind China. Had India adopted state capitalism earlier, as it

Not to mention, the next war will be the last one ever. It would be an extinction level event. That choice wouldn't be rational.

Don’t forget about the market makers either. Robinhood and other brokerages sell data on the positions their traders are entering to their market makers (like Citadel). Then the algos front run the trade, and you end up in a situation where

No country is perfect, especially the United States. How many war crimes have been committed in the last 50 years? China is not the enemy. We could learn a lot of positive things from them.

It so happens that whenever a country amasses more wealth than the US, they are maligned and considered evil. It happened in the 80s with Japan, and it is now happening with China. Except this time, the United States is broke. The US will B
