Try using an IDE that doesn't suck (Eclipse sucks in many ways but I rarely have to wait any noticeable time for autocomplete. I haven't used IntelliJ but have heard it is better than Eclipse, no one who switches ever seems to want to go back).

I know the API in the sense that I know such-and-such class/method exists and can usually make a good enough guess about the name to get the rest via autocomplete. Knowing that something exists is important (also important is having an intuition of "surely this must exist"). Knowing the exact name is silly, as is knowing the exact order and meaning of all the parameters - if I had to memorize all that shit it would definitely be the most taxing thing about programming. IDEs rock.

They probably plan to sell ads as their main revenue stream.

An unaccountable monopoly hiring cronies isn't going to be any better. "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." - Churchill

Independent of this, there is a moral question of "should we be punishing people?" The alternative is to focus on deterrence, rehabilitation, and protecting society. "Protecting society" could justify locking someone away for ever (if the justice system determines there is no chance of rehabilitation). "Rehabilitation" could include altering their microbiome if we figure out how, or it could just be psychological work. Punishment is government administered revenge - it may provide some deterrence, but it's not particularly good at it. But modern justice systems still focus almost entirely on punishment.

Just suicide. Many other instances of those bacteria strains inhabit other people, so you won't be committing genocide (unless you use a blessed scroll).

Or they are using the low hanging fruit to learn the ropes, and will eventually tackle the harder regions (if they turn a profit).

Half the time alcohol makes me sleepy and more introverted, and the other half the time it makes me energized and extroverted. I wish I could control the effects better. It has a lot to do with who I am with, the size of the group, and what we are doing, and how rested I feel before starting.

I'm also a light weight. One drink gets me buzzed and two gets me blasted (if consumed quickly).

I don't think that is true. The US government won't accept tax payments in Euros either, but if someone pays me in Euros you can be damn sure they will want me to pay taxes on it even if I haven't converted it.

That's very hard to prove. Person A says they were following orders from person B, while person B claims that A went rogue and had no orders. Meanwhile all the documents that might prove it one way or another are classified.

Syphilis is probably an American disease transported to Europe via Columbus. There is no written record of it in Europe before Columbus. Of course it could have been there already but not recognized, but the leading theory is it came from the new world.

Unless of course they stated that they could do that, somewhere in the 300 pages of fine print that you have to sign to get service from anyone these days if you are an individual or small business. Then it's completely OK in your libertarian world. You read every word of every one of those, right?

The annihilation of a single hydrogen atom probably isn't going to hurt much, it's not that much energy.

Yes it is, read the GP, it said

The first suit was in 1978, long before Apple did anything related to music. It was completely about the name. The second suit was in 1986 when added MIDI and audio-recording capabilities, and the third was in 1991 for adding the chime sound to the OS - not exactly getting into the music business.
