Any concentration of power is a danger to democracy. We understood that already, and separated the legislature, an executive, and judiciary branches of power. They are not bad, they are necessary, but you don't want them to mix. We are

Guilt is unnecessary, agreed. And so is blame. Taking responsibility is. Without, you can't fix your mistakes. And yes, personality and ability of children are definitely shaped by the parents. Of course, now that the kid is an adult,

Yes, I'd like to read a "I must have messed up somewhere". That would be a good starting point to "what can I do about it".

Nuitka (nuitka.net) does that for python, and is very robust and compatible. It works way better than py2exe, cx_freeze, etx, and is cross platform. However, the result, even for small scripts, is not what I would qualify as "small&quo

This is addressed in the video I linked as well. Watch it, your point is logical but doesn't take in consideration several variables.

Sure but it's very rare to update python on the desktop (not on the server). Installing a new version in parallel is common, but once you get a 3.x rolling, you seldom have the need for a 3.x.y unless you encounter a bug or are very se

Not only pip is not provided, but virtualenv neither. The alternatuve to the current decision is for apple to assign people to keep updating python and provide previous versions as packages like linux distrib does. But it has never been the

Because of that, Javascript is now a pile of accumulated technical debt and it one of the worst language you can dev in. Hell, it has no type and still 4 ways to declare a variable. In fact it's so terrible the most popular JS projects

Yes but permaculture is not scalable for big companies, since it requires a lot of skilled labors. You cannot use one big tractor for a huge perma field and be done with it. And they dictate the market.

Watch the video. This is addressed as well. There are many variables to this: the time we get to react, the effect on democracy, the innovation fallacy, our perspective on resources availability, etc.

That would make it subject to outcry because it could be understood as "you are not allowed", while the problem is that "there are too many of us for this lifestyle"

That's not the problem. They have the right to. We encourage it. But there are too many humans. This is just a hisper example, but pollution, food quality, democraty, education and the health system suffer from the same problem. It

Those are just temporary solutions, one day they will not be enough because of constant population growth. And you can't use them forever. Plus they all have a cost anyway. This is like a doctor treating a symptom instead of the cause

Yes, and that's why the logic is wrong: the problem is not too many people want to do x. Wanting is legitimate. The problem is thay there are too many people, period. And the more fair we make the system, the more they will get to do w

I'll also add, as a regular dota player, that they don't just "get rent" out of it. First, the game is free to play and very deep as-is. There is no missing feature or add-on to pay for in order to have the full game exp
