Oh how quickly we've forgotten the Snowden Leaks. They all spy on each other's citizens. When it's not possible to do it directly, they will use covert means a la NSA slurping up data via transit lines, etc. It being an Israe

Right, and personal responsibility has nothing to do with addiction. We should, as a society, normalize impulsiveness and lack of personal responsibility, because people are incapable of being responsible. Look, it's not my fault I ate

This is counter to my personal experiences - but I'm certain it does depend on location/region.

By this logic public transportation should be the cleanest of them all. But, it is unfortunately far from that.

Thanks for naming Javalin - I had not previously heard of it and it appears quite nice. I will say though, I vastly prefer pushing configuration out of my code and into config files/text. Things like `Javalin.create { config -> conf

You are exposing your JVM ignorance I'm afraid. No, you don't need to pay for performance. The only people paying Oracle are those who choose to. There are many JVM vendors - each with their own secret sauce, pros/cons and ad

There's dozens of JDK & Class Library implementations. If you use the Oracle one - well, that's on you. Most people don't use the Oracle JDK anymore. And OpenJDK is GPL licensed - and has no strings attached. What you are

The problems with C# are many. It's tied to .NET at the hip - there are no 3rd party implementations (Mono is effectively dead, correct me if I'm wrong), it's development is effectively solely driven by Microsoft, and every f

Try Kotlin. It's what modern Java should be, and might eventually slowly (slowly) develop into. It's a joy, and can use the entire JVM ecosystem (frameworks, libraries, tooling, etc). The C# folks can't even knock it... it&

Your post seems to be misleading. Both rulings focus on selling goods to non-members, which seems rightfully taxable. This discussion is about taxing churches/religious organizations in general on all revenue/income (ie. tithe, do

This doesn't work in practice, because of freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and separation of church and state, ie. constitutionally guaranteed rights. Taxing churches would then be a way for government to suppress and eliminat
