This makes a lot of sense if you subscribe to the libertarian view that corporations should have unchecked power and the governments is out to get you.

The named integer range thing is interesting. I guess it depends on what you goal is. Could you use asserts? Could you wrap the integer in an object and embed the restriction logic there?

Numberblocks goes hard in the later seasons, but sadly Netflix no longer has those. I really enjoyed the adaptation of El Deafo on AppleTV. Its brilliant use of audio effects to explain the evolving technology of the little girl’s hearing a

It does and they do. A used car is cheaper to source than a new one which means it can be sold to more consumers at higher margin. Every taxi I rode in the Bahamas was a 2nd gen Jeep Grand Cherokee with the CEL on. The bottom exists, but it

But now you get the fruits as well, and only have to work one job. The perceived insult will feel lessened, would be even more without one side constantly telling you to feel aggrieved over it.

I think you’re assuming when you switch to EV the ICE car disappears. But more likely it got traded to someone else who has less money, eventually making it possible for someone to own a car who otherwise wouldn’t have. So the emissions sta

That is precisely the problem. The people you see online protesting Zionism most likely don’t hold the same views as Hezbollah or Ayatollah Khomeini. You can see why it’s frustrating to be painted with that brush. Just like most Americans b

Everyone likes God, God wants you to pray. It’s quite easy to whip up opposition to anyone who gets in the way of that. Although frankly, with the way the propaganda machine is well oiled and constantly running, it’s easy to whip up opposit

But when people talk about Zionism they don’t just mean “Israel should be a country” — that’s been a moot point since 1948. They’re referring to a stronger form of nationalism, god-given right, ethnic supremacy, violent suppression, etc.

It depends on how strongly you interpret “zionism”. It’s true “Israel should be a country” has broad support. But a majority of Jewish people oppose the current government, and a majority say Israel is not essential to Jewish identity. On t

It’s only 12% of women of childbearing age on the pill - under 10 million. Another smaller chunk uses depo or norplant, but the CDC figures lump those in with IUDs so it’s hard to tell exactly. Either way a small number compared to e.g. sta
