What happens to the cobalt when you burn this fuel? Is the waste of burning purely C02? Or can you capture and re-use the cobalt?

If they intended to use it for some purpose other than destroying a vast habitat so they could grow their own personal wealth, you may have a moral high ground to stand on.

If you truly wanted your app to just print out the one line then you could probably pick a different language. In this case you would only pick .net if you were making something complex enough to warrant the size cost in exchange for the pe

This is true. It's funny because the api's have always existed in the Microsoft compliers but they would litterally throw not implemented errors when run. Mono actually implemented them.

Is it really a privacy concern if its anonymous usage statistics? The word for it is telemetry and every medium sized app or bigger has been doing it for a really long time. What's the big deal?

Generally no, you gotta do some job. The caveats being people who are sick or handicapped and people who are retired. I believe the author also said retirement age was something like 45. Also, he went to some lengths to explain the importan

Well it would require a pretty massive shift in economic systems. It's against the interests of employers in the current system as I understand it. You should read the book, it has a lot more context and gives a much fuller explanation

Yes agreed, in any social system everyone needs to work (if able) in order for society to thrive. Wage slavery is a very specific term that I didn't just make up and I believe it accurately describes what you were talking about. https

Yes, its more money per hour of work but its not more money per week in this system.

This can be effective in jobs where there is a labor shortage but not a labor surplus. Meaning, if you are applying for a job that 100 other people are also applying for, you don't get to make these kinds of demands. Whoever is hiring

Also, besides "getting used to it" or "working their way out of it" there are a few other quite grim possibilities that can happen in Wage Slavery. Namely suffering and early death. Sometimes the workers band together (a

No prohibition certainly, but you would receive the same pay. In the book the author supposed that this would lead more people to spend their time participating in artistic activities.

Typically, with standard breaking changes they just bump the minor version but with v8 updates or with major api changes they will bump the major version.

I believe they updated the version of v8 they're dependent on, which causes them to bump the major version too.
