"AOT" in the clojure world means compiling your clojure source down to JVM bytecode, which also means compiled-in calls against a particular state of clojure's internal java api. By shipping clojure source, one avoids any concerns over inc

Except "commit" means different things between the two examples. From the perspective of the rest of the team, they are both code+, push.

The current assumption is that every donor is willing. It's not clear to me how receiving payment changes anything. Your scenario would only be prevented if organ donation were banned altogether.

The problem is so many of those inclined to oppose the government-protected big 3 cartel are also the same sort who think the solution to every problem is a government monopoly. Any push for change would not move to a more open system, but

You seem to be confusing a strip search with a body cavity search. These machines are an electronic means of performing a strip search. There should be nothing controversial in that claim.

That a strip-search is "basic" or "routine" is orthogonal to it being a humiliating violation of ones person.

It's not clear to me how one distinguishes being treated differently because they are a minority, from being treated differently because they are an incompetent ass. And nothing stops the latter from being used as an anecdote in support of

Austrians do not "eschew" mathematics nor empiricism, rather they reject the claim that what is commonly called empirical evidence actually is , and admit to the limits of empiricism in social sciences. Aping the physical sciences in some

I'm not clear on how if something is claimed to be "most important" that it thus "is all what economics was about". The former seems to deny the latter.

And sometimes the correct response is an error code and an HTML page, e.g., 401 Unauthorized and an ajax login page that reloads the current URL.

Go and look at some Lisp, then come back – obj-c will suddenly look better :) ... For example, to filter an array is lovely (filter foo? all-records) Yeah, maybe not so much.

SLF4J and java.util.logging take string messages, but commons-logging and log4j take objects, so one could add custom appenders to handle non-string messages.

I'm not sure if clojure's tools.logging helps or hurts in this regard. It adds another layer to the onion, though with the aim of leveraging macros' non-evaluation of the logging args. http://github.com/clojure/tools.logging

Setting aside the fact that you're trolling... The correct way to do something like this would be to use a whitelist TLD, e.g., .kids. Such would avoid questions of censorship, and of which content requires being legally shoved into the .x
