Tragedy of the Commons effects are well-established to exist both in economics and outside it (in ecology, for instance). You seem to be attempting to shoehorn some misguided political take into the situation, even though Tragedy of the Com

I'm not a huge fan of SOLID, but when writing OOP in a conventional style, I have found that it works pretty well. All the principles play nicely with each other. You don't have to write SOLID, but you probably shouldn't writ

They thought they did. I heard they did a really good job of it, too. But it doesn't matter how much work you put into it, you can still be wrong.

I've definitely gotten the impression that some agencies really get a kick out of feeling like badasses on super-secret missions and the whole thing is just tax-payer playtime for bored cops who want to feel special.

I think the fact that you can copyright which recipes are in a cookbook is on the level of an API, which is why I think its absurd the government grants exclusive ownership for such a thing. I don't know how we got to this point where

I don't know why people think this question is so absurd. Orientalism is a classic case of cultural appropriation. Religious iconography was taken and used without understanding it, to the point of hanging prayer rugs upside down and w

bcrypt has a maximum length of 72 characters and its what Mozilla recommends for encryption. Do you think Mozilla is too "incompetent to write code which handles passwords" and "an outright liability"?
