But how does the employer even find about this? How does the employer determine cooperation? Surely LEO can't blackmail you into cooperation by going to your employer first?

I get your point, but I posit that this is a very human point of view. Once you've cracked the energy needs for interstellar travel, what's the point of raising a war campaign light years away (especially if you need generation sh

Okay, I see the issue regarding regexes. However I take offense at the notion of "babying" users. We are all babied in some aspect of our lives: if it weren't for the active work and intervention of those in other fields, we

It is not the fault of the language if you use it wrong. CloudFlare is to blame here, nothing else. As for the reason why C, I'm pretty confident they knew what they were doing, and had considered other tools that did not meet all req

I doubt the money not spent on inefficiencies would equate to money effectively burnt away. That 40% would probably be spent in other, more productive ways. Not to mention you're actually making a point for not giving GDP too high a va

To be clear, I'm not trying to be for or against free markets, and you make valid points regarding the efficacy of relinquishing power to planning committees. However none of that pertains to my earlier comment. I'm simply making
