No, it does not. It translates to "I know JavaScript rather well, but I also know several other languages", so I am capable of comparing things and seeing how many bad choices there are in JS language design.
However, when expressing such opinions on
I don't know if I'd want locked doors on the cockpit. What if the pilots become incapacitated like in the movie "Airplane!"? Imagine being a passenger on a plane that has become pilotless but nobody can do anything about it because the cockpit is barricaded.
Just what do you think anybody could really do?
Maybe you should watch the movie referenced by GP
If there was widespread adoption of a guaranteed-deflation currency, an early adopter who was heavily invested could set up trust accounts where their ancestors would have growing spending power, without the money in the trust even being invested in anything. A future where the world is controlled by the grandchildren of the current rich, a class of aristocrats who don't have to work, but rule the world. And the more new economic activity happens, the higher percentage the old money controls! New wealth will always be worth less than the old wealth for the same activity.
Having a guaranteed-inflation currency around doens't seem to be doing much to prevent this: if you are wealthy, it's likely you were born wealthy. The problem is, that the currency we use, is just currency, it has no real use. And all the actually usable things, natural resources, have guaranteed deflation built in (assuming continuing population growth and no off-planet resource import). So owning natural resources is a bit like owning Bitcoin. It is always a good time to invest in gold.
I am making the day 1,000,000 seconds long
That is a long day. 24 hours == 86400 seconds.
Maybe these are two different groups of parents...
Quite likely. Similar to how there are parents who buy tobacco and/or alcohol to their underage kids, and parents who report the store for selling to kids (to the effect of the store losing their license to sell these substances) when their little princess manages to buy a bottle of vodka with an id borrowed from her older sister.
Look, it's quite simple: if your solution is to get people to use less power, you're fucked. People won't use less power unless they're entirely unable to do so. You need to work off that fact instead of trying to handwave it away.
That's why the GP said no more power plants allowed (not sure why he objects nuclear though). Prices go up, man becomes entirely unable.
Hopefully the fossils who want to burn fossils start to die off soon. It's time for new kind of thinking and the old folks just are not agile enough. Makes sense, they don't need to stick around for the consequences.
I live in a house that has 24 apartments. There are 5 garages at the ground floor, and parking places for 6 cars in front of the house. Can't see in the garages, but the outside parking is empty on a typical evening. Conclusion: people will stop using cars when they're unnecessary.
Gold mining is very risky. Selling shovels is mundane but presents a consistent, although lower profit. Those who want consistent profits aren't also the types who want a rollercoaster ride of high profit and high losses.
A well-balanced portfolio would include a bit of both.
The fact that California made this non enforcible means the state is dead last if I wanted to start a
If your great idea suddenly stops working when it is revealed to someone else, then it's fundamentally flawed. Anyone "stealing" it would still have to implement both the technical and business sides of it himself, unless he actually steals the implementations from you (in which case you have something to sue with). Just do it better, or lose the competition. Or have them sign an NDA with a nice big penalty.
