So if there’s already easily available information about strychnine, that makes it a good example to use for the demo, because you can safely share the demo and you aren’t making the problem worse. On the other hand, suppose there are other

Back when I used to work in plain js I saw very complicated structures, but there is no type annotation. It’s worse. The horrible part is where the type changes in different cases, so you have to trace everything to know if what you are cha

The idea that a 0.66% decline in revenue would be insignificant made me snort. Increasing revenue that much would make many careers - it would justify the existence of a substantial origination. That’s billions of dollars annually.
