Although less explicitly, collective punishment is used in the office as well. For instance by letting an entire team work overtime if one of the team members screwed up his work and made the team miss a deadline. But the fact that collecti

I would like to add that just like in our universe, in Haskell entropy only ever increases and never goes down. I.E., add more functionality to your program and the complexity will go up. This is true for all programming languages of course

I take any prediction for something >30 years away with a large grain of salt. There are just too many black swans that can happen. I.E global wars, technological/medical breakthroughs, effects of global warming etc.

This is not a good comparison. The people not wearing seatbelts didn't affect the lives of others, they only (voluntarily) risked their own. ECO terrorism is trying to force others to live how they want them to live. Regardless how con
