Borders being primarily geography and culture is a very western perspective on things - in Africa for example a huge proportion of borders were arbitrarily drawn by colonisers. And even in Europe and other western regions, certain borders a

Assuming you genuinely are trying to make a good faith argument (which I strongly feel you're not): Pandas eat bamboo. Bamboo has practically no nutritional value so, no, Pandas are not very energetic. None of the vegetarians I know ne

Doesn't Apple fix the no-fly problem for free, since the only ones affected by the no-fly are the recalled ones (any recalled lithium ion battery is no-fly)? Sure it takes time to fix and the problem really shouldn't have happened

Probably OCaml. While it's been around much longer, it's never really reached mass acceptance (though does get used here and there). Rust is newer but I'd estimate it's already more used, and its adoption in industry is
