Yes, it's very mysterious. If everybody put their money in the bank they would all be guaranteed a positive return on their investment, but there is no inflation and the money supply is fixed. So where does the money come from?

They also said the vaccine targeted the spike protein, which was said to be very unlikely to mutate since it's such a vital part of the virus and there is little room for variation.

I strongly feel like it's the other way round. There are already diseases where we have multiple doses, like Tetanus[1]. If they said "hey, turns out we need a third and a fourth dose like with Tetanus, and then maybe a booster ev

And yet including the additional restriction "this software may not be used to enslave people" makes the software no longer "free". It's odd how often slavery is mentioned in examples about how free copyleft softwar

Speaking of Judas, I think he was pretty great in Jesus Christ Superstar. They definitely managed to portray him as a sympathetic character who was doing what he thought was right.

At a previous job we discovered that the software was strangely slow when running locally. It turns out that the antivirus (ESET, I believe?) was delaying every WCF request by 0.5 seconds. After adding encryption to the connections the de

I strongly oppose all types, but the symbolic pin-prick variant that is practiced in some places seems to me to be far less of a "mutilation" than ordinary male circumcision. And yet it is considered "female genital mutilatio

In that scenario I think the freedom was lost when the ethnic cleansing squads were formed, not when the database became available.

Surely that depends. If there was a database where you could lookup the eye color of anybody, would freedom be significantly impacted? I imagine that publishing everybodies income would not have a significant impact on freedom even if some

Sounds like that team should define a style guide and stick to it. Either Brenda or Bob is going to be disappointed for a bit, but the code will be more consistent in the end.

I wonder if heavy water would also be able to turn into this form of ice. Would a nucleus of one proton and one neutron more through the lattice with the same ease? Would heavy superionic ice conduct electricity as well?
