Is the claim that 1600 dollars made the difference between poverty and subsistence? I have nothing against the child tax credit. I think it's great. But I am hard pressed to believe 1600 dollars has eliminated poverty. If it did... Gre

Robert Redfield former CDC director said trump had access to intelligence implicating the lab. Biden presumay does as well. Also, nowhere here is any claim it was intentional.

How about we just pay smaller regional companies? I'm like 100% certain the people of the Arkansas delta don't want some company from seattle in their area. Can't we just leave people alone? For example, this wireless technol

You can't honestly believe that this reduced child poverty. While the Child tax credit has been increased, it's been on a steady increase for a while, and the net amount hasn't changed that much. If the claim is that the timi

by iammisc 5y ago
Every way you slice and dice it, 'indigenous' is another word for 'pure bred' or 'Fatherland', which, when you use its synonym, makes it sound as dangerous of an idea as it is. The reason indigeneity is not app

No. WASM is fundamentally a stack machine. That's how its semantics are defined.

I understand that. I'm not saying WASM isn't of interest. On the contrary, since I'm currently implementing language support for WASM, I'd say it's very important. What I am saying is that it is Java VM 2.0. The jav
