JavaScript itself is fine. The problem is developers who import a library to add two numbers.

Couldn't mine gold in the US. The Soviet Union was the biggest gold producer the world back then. So in effect, the Soviet Union controlled the West's money supply while they were on the gold standard.

I expect Trump will respond by insulting the Marine Corps and not lose a single voter.

They aren't stupid. They are hypocritical liars who say whatever they need at the moment to justify their actions.

In 4 years, if we are allowed to have an election where a Democrat can win, they will immediately flip again.

Simple. Prices will go up, Trump will hold a press conference announcing prices are lower, and 50% of the country will believe prices are lower instead of the lying mainstream media.

This needs to go to the next level. Do some torrenting off of the public wifi at the courthouse and get the courthouse's internet terminated.

Sony can't have your electricity cut off if you pirate. Because electricity is a utility.

ISPs want it both ways. They want the legal protections of a utility without the obligations.

The solution is to give them the legal protection they want by declaring them a utility.

Some people take tabs vs spaces too seriously.

The author came to the wrong conclusion. Yes the Supreme Court making themselves the authority on all federal policy will increase their case load. No, it does not mean they will actually need to do any more work. Cases will be backlogged for as long as they want.

Businesses can now dump toxic waste onto public lands knowing that they are safe from judgement for decades.

Imo, the only solution is every device with an antenna must be legally required to put a manual off switch.

Cell service, wifi, Bluetooth, any future service. If it broadcasts it needs a physical off switch.

If I sold my car to a government official and they found out I had hidden a camera, microphone and GPS in the car, I'd get a visit from the FBI. Yet companies do it with impunity. Does the CEO of Subaru have recordings of Bernie Sanders driving in his car?

AI will win if not now, then soon. The reason is that even if it is worse than a human, the AI can pull off maneuvers that would black out a human.

Jets are far more powerful than humans are capable of controlling. Flight suits and training can only do so much to keep the pilot from blacking out.

I think it's a reference to cyanide smelling like almonds. In particular I remember a Jodi Foster movie The little Girl who lives down the Lane where Jodi poisons a rapist. He says, "It tastes like almonds." as he drinks the tea. Jodi Foster says, "It's the almond extract." knowing it's the cyanide.

So the punchline is setup to be something about poison but gets subverted by the hand grenade.
