Your argument is basically "humanity can't be destroyed by anything, because I said so"

Something close enough to this already happened, at the end of 2019. So we know what the outcome of a bioweapon will be: half the population declares that the bioweapon doesn't exist, avoiding it is "woke" and then goes out a

The addition is much cheaper than the memory access. The register pressure is worse than the addition. The size reduction of the index (versus the pointer) and resulting cache pressure reduction can outweigh the register pressure and the ad

That's the same as any other index or member access. It's myThreadLocalBlock->myVariable. thread_local is an example of something else unusual though - a struct linker as seen in https://yosefk.com/blog/i-w

I don't know if you're aware, but there was a whole lot of controversy around Central Bank Digital Currencies a few years ago. Mainly because the government can instantly see every transaction you do and will use it to decide if y

It's the worst case before they get penalized. I've had worse times with Mastercard and Visa. It's really not a big deal if one in a thousand payments, you sit by the card reader for 30 seconds before it says "please try

That is mental illness. It doesn't imply that a virus took hold of your brain cells. It can be inability to cope with the real world. I suspect most of us will go through it at some point in our lives.

And the best way to get people to let you do bad things, is to offer them something good, that uses the same mechanism. If I want to MITM the whole internet, what better way than offering free caching and bot blocking? I even get to charge

Money laundering isn't even a real thing. It's an excuse for the government to arrest people who are linked to people who are linked to people who they don't like.

You can also just give people downstream of you my source code, supporting software freedom. Then you can use it for free.

Did the US stand with the USSR?
