It might take time, but the fact that the government can't print free bitcoins as it does with fiat to pay off its usurious debt and devalue everyone's hard work is a compelling basis.

Hedging against inflation due to manipulation by the government is a very compelling reason.

The fallacy you're committing is not looking at how the Islamic world was run before the Western banks took over post WWI/II, as interest is prohibited in Islam. It is well documented that in Iraq during the Ummayyad period, there

I'm suggesting that any non zero rates are predatory. Loans should be reserved as acts of charity, as Islam dictates. Otherwise, it will open up to running the economy on debt, which is exactly what we see today. Debt fuels more debt,

There's JNI that exists now. And Project Panama will be a big improvement.

The Java and golang numbers are not apples to apples. The Java solution is using the standard library code, while golang's is calling out to native code (wrapper C library) as far as I can tell. Same with Python.

I'm not a Christian, but how life emerged is not something that experimental science will ever be able to answer. It's literally outside the domain of science.

And some people still think it's a good idea to raise taxes. Quite baffling really.

I highly suggest looking into Islam. Life in the West has been delegated to partying and always expecting to "have a good time" in the sense you described. There is way more to life.

The entire present day financial system is fragile as it is built on illformed principles that we've known for thousands of years were a terrible idea.

Exactly. It's obvious how printing money out of thin air induces inflation.

That article was from 2003, and is based on hearsay. It would be nice to ask his opinion again. At the end of the day, golang has classes also whether they care to admit it or not.

The problem is that even if they remove the "must be female" requirement from documents, it's still going to be enforced because that's their goal. How did the industry allow such sexism and racism to penetrate?

It's the nature of having an economy built on usury. When usury rates were low, people invested in tech that actually changed the world (for the better or worse is a separate discussion). Now that the rates are going back up, people ar

Inheritance does have its place. I've seen verbose and error prone workarounds in golang due to its lack of inheritance.

Incidentally, golang is much worse for FP.
