It should be obvious from the massive scale of the illicit narcotics industry that most users are not dying or becoming problem-users.

The fact that he can’t lead without doing these idiotic polls shows that he’s not fit to lead twitter. The whole point of being an exec is that you make the big difficult decisions, not defer them to a mass of people who couldn’t possibly u

Agreed, it was another level. My only fear is that there’s no way they can pull this off twice. I just hope they can get near to season 1’s brilliance with season 2

It’s seems the show has a truly exceptional team, they collectively nailed it. Everything is sublime: the writing, the cast, the acting, the sets and locations, the cinematography, the music, even the opening credits. So it doesn’t surpris

IMHO Severance is the most inspirational TV since Twin Peaks. It’s a real work of art. A masterpiece. It’s the only reason I signed up to Apple TV+. I looked for other shows on there, but cancelled not long after.

My impression with crypto is that once money is in token form, there's an expectation that it can just vanish into thin air. Like it can just evaporate. There seems to be a cognitive breakdown that forgets money doesn't get crea

The example you give is a statement, not an expression. There is no value returned, and the return-type is void, which can't be constructed. Only imperative languages, that can ignore the lack of a value from an expression (by simply

That’s what governments and laws are for. Expecting companies to work for the greater good is naive at best; and we shouldn’t really get upset when they don’t. That’s not their motivation, as you’ve highlighted. Strong legislation and inde

If the first thing you talk about is performance and not quality and maintainability, then you're already missing the point. Most software just isn't in some super high-perf environment - what matters is fewer bugs, easier mainta

What I love about these types of Japanese art is how the magic and the surreal become normalised in a way that western films rarely go anywhere near. I'm not a big anime fan by any stretch of the imagination, but films like Spirited A

I'm not sure if delaying it would have made any difference. PS1 was a zeitgeist machine, especially with titles like wipEout. I remember going to underground nightclubs in London and there'd be a chillout room with Playstations
