Hollywood, Wall St, Apple, Boeing... Yeah the US doesn't produce anything... they just make up that 15 trillion dollars of GDP (double what the next biggest economy makes - China).

As oppose to python "name it whatever you like because no one will ever find it" naming convention? Every solution has drawbacks, but python's solution has almost every drawback.

I've worked with all three (if I count pythons ~4 as 1). There are improvements to be made to all of them but gosh python is a complete mess in this regard.

A slightly more sensible approach may be to allow script tags (or any external linking mechanism) to list multiple (trusted) sources, and fallback appropriately. That certainly feels more inline with how the internet in general was designed

Just go and copy bundler or even npm. This is a solved problem with a really bad case of "Not-Invented-here" in the python community. What's funny is I'm pretty sure gems/bundler and npm/packages were heavily i

I think you misinterpret the question. It's not "What is the meaning of my/your life?" - it's "What is the meaning of life?" or put another way: "Why does life exist? and why should/does it cont

Sorry, in this hypothetical, china would only do something so rash if it were going to war. There would be no "making bank" there would just be war... and given the scale of said hypthetical war, I'm not sure there would eve

Yes, that's how it would play out. China dumping US money, would be an actively hostile thing to do... implying they wanted to do other hostile things as well... The world would likely become a very different place, real fast.

... What constraints are on poetry that make it difficult to not plagerise? Are you suggesting there is a finite amount of expression in language?

You have to show up (or post) a vote, there is no requirements on your actual vote (it can be completely blank, or a picture of ponies... but you have to put your bit of paper in the ballet box (or postbox)). Punishment for not voting is us

I hate that I'm falling for this[0] For the poor, (i.e those that earn < 28k in Australia)... they pay no tax. Thus Healthcare for them, is in every sense of the word: free. For those that earn > 28k, they pay tax, which a porti

They made it illegal to own (certain) guns, then offered a buy back scheme, then they confiscated guns from those that didn't bring in... This works much like how 'drugs' are illegal, and the police confiscate them, so the U

Sure, agreed. I guess I meant: Australia would be a more useful comparison.

Healthcare is free in that anyone anywhere can go to a hospital with anything and be treated for it without paying anything. (And everyone who earns enough money pays taxes). You really want to argue that healthcare isn't 'free&#x

Australia has the equivalent of a "stipend" for poor, unemployed, students, single parents, etc. Plus free healthcare for everyone. It is a hugely successful program with a very low percentage of exploitation (i.e using the money

You talk like this is a solved problem, dualism and monoism are as old as philosophy, both have valid and compelling arguments. Fortunately the world isn't a binary state machine and neither of these arguments are the right (or wrong)

Unless there was evidence to show that a particular clone was bad for you (to eat) why wouldn't you eat it? You trust 'natural selection' more than 'attempted perfect clone'... why?

Except that Douglas Crockford was talking about Javascript which (at the time that book was published, and perhaps even now) was viewed as a steaming pile of crap. So he wrote a book that highlighted "the good". Docker is a prett

MIT clearly did something wrong here... The Secret Service seemed to get involved by accident, due to the fact MIT do a lot of "Super secret stuff, that China want". MIT should have immediately moved to limit how seriously this w
