I want to discuss - Can you point out where I said there can never be demands for increases. I just notes a possible outcome.

Point is, if everyone near the Minimum wage gets a raise, What is. likely to happen, is that expenses will increase. If people at the bottom suddenly make 50 K per year, all of the people who get "bumped" up will have more money, and prices will rise to reflect that. And soon, it's a continual inflationary spiral.

With a more rational increase there will be less inflationary impact. It is basic supply and demand.

In an unrelated years ago event, although no one was shot or shooting at other humans (went postal), I was asked to fill out a Nielsen survey this week.

And in a single threaded loop it feels like unnecessarily having one hand tied behind your back.

To be fair, C practically insists that you use raw pointers. I think the C standard should allow references. Also some way to handle unique_pointer and shared_pointer. (I mean a way that's standard for the language.) But this would require that the pointer know how large a chunk of memory it was pointing at.

More specifically it's worse because you can't have multiple references to the same memory location even within a single threaded piece of code. It's like uselessly having one hand tied behind your back.

There are a lot of people who believe Rust will get rid of ALL their security errors, not just memory errors. That's why it's a dangerous language.

And yet, you jumped into the argument as if it were fresh dung and you were a dung beetle.

And there it is, you're a dung beetle white space Python fan who can't resist defending your bad decisions.

Swift programmers were worse. It's a crappy language (has all the warts of Objective-C and adds some of its own), but as soon as you say "the enum system makes it easy to write confusing code" you will have all kinds of Swift programmers coming out to insult you and your dog.

What does he say? Anything interesting?

Toxicity is always a function of concentration. Always. Even water is toxic if ingested at high enough levels.

What is the spread between "measurable" and "toxic" for these plastics?

And what health *benefits* do we sacrifice if we give up plastics?

Sealed plastic containers are highly effective at controlling bacterial growth, for example. Flossing your teeth with plastic (nylon) is universally recommended by dentists for dental health. Plastic tubing is universally used in IVs. Many of these health-*positive* uses would be very difficult to reproduce with other materials.

*Sigh* you either didn't read the wiki or didn't understand it, not only because you think it corroborates what people think, but also because you happen to be one of the people who is getting this wrong.

The author argues that shorter sentences are just the result of using periods where semicolons or colons used to be used.

But I'd argue that these long sentences, made up of clauses joined by colons or semicolons--*are* harder to read. Using periods instead, forces the author to write sentences that are shorter and more self-contained.

It's like the old quote that "If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter." Writing thoughts concisely does take more effort, but it results in text that is easier to digest.
