That is not really a fair comparison. Rust adds on top of C. GraphQL adds but also removes a lot of nicest things about REST. http caching is the most obvious loss as well as any control access through a middle layer. You are also giving ac

Not my experience. Plenty of codebases have variables in local language in France Germany and Sweden (where I have experience). I actually have encountered a lot of problem with English codebases in those countries as they often try to tran

You are not thinking about the real risk. It is not about preventing a candidate to Google a few things on the side. It is to prevent a completely different person from doing the exam instead of the candidate and simply sending them the ans

I never understood this line of thought. Economic growth is not a growth of raw material consumption. There has been some correlation but you could imagine a forever growing GDP with shrinking raw material usage without any major problem as

I don't really agree on the cost. I ride bike by -15C and the only specific thing I have is studded tires, which are about 200$ the pair and last at least 4/5 winters. Pants, jacket and gloves are anyways needed even to walk in wi

I have. Many political parties are trying to aim at carbon neutrality nearly only through carbon removal and technological improvements in efficiency. This is actually a huge point of debate in a lot of countries.

What would be the benefit of having the citizenship of a non physical country? If I still live physically in country X I will still have to pay taxes there, respect the local laws and such. The only "benefit" is that I might have

That is a pretty big simplification, both partly true and false. There is international cooperation but copyright has significant differences between countries and having a copyright claim in one country does not always mean you have it in

What about for taxes? The UD has a reputation of being pretty good at tracking their citizens even outside the US to get their taxes.

Not how it works. If there was a way to prevent all smoke related cancers but it randomly kills 1 million person a year would you say it is also a moral imperative? After all it is a net gain of lives. Total casualties is not the only the t

Actually what you are describing is closer to original intent which is NOT what most originalists justice use, as they are more oriented towards original meaning. And both case suffer from the same thing described above: is there even a sin

You have the fructus but no longer the usus and associated rights. If you own an apartment it does not give you a right to set up webcams to look at the tenants.

I would have you know that in some countries this would be illegal. A child has a right to private conversation just like any other person in many law systems. And yes it is obviously a spyware. The report phishing analogy is also completel

Is it? Plenty of athletes say they don't feel well. The specificity about Biles is that she was the great favorite and abandoned at the last minute in the Olympics without much prior signals that it could happen. Tennis players for ins

Before radio you had a moto putting the latest gap to display in front of the peloton. This is very simple and would not cause trouble. Note that they do not have that for the Olympic games for some reason.

Except if it has changed in the last 4 years I disagree, security is nowhere near what they make you go through for flying. It's not even at the level needed to take the Eurostar.

Do they all need to be original artists? Historically art has also given a huge role to reproductions. It was not uncommon to have many copies of a painting be made by different persons (which has made tracking originals a time consuming pr

That is your opinion. Another way to see things is that if you have to pay for repairs you should be able to choose whatever method suits you. If Tesla wants to restrict repairs they can include all repairs in the leasing price. I would add

One key factor in Paris is that automated trains are more "aggressive" in closing doors right on schedule where human drivers would tend to wait one or 2 seconds because you have a lot of people getting onboard.One or 2 seconds do

And you are forgetting the whole "securing bitcoin" part. If bitcoin was to be the dominant currency, it needs a lot of mining to secure the network, otherwise attacks would be very appealing. But a lot of mining means a high tran
