Could Big Pharma be secretly funding the anti-vaxxer movement?

Because vaccines are easily the LEAST profitable thing they can make. Cures are more profitable, but the most profitable is a treatment that is not a cure, but requires lifelong use by the patient.

Towards what race?

Is Islam a “race” now? I thought it was a religion.

The US is quite happy to support regimes that murder people, as long as it suits its ends.

Israel has been murdering Palestinians for religious reason for decades.

Nothing abstract about “regional peace and stability”. Notice the price of fuel and other things going up lately?

So what’s the next step?

Pro world-leader tip: trying to bludgeon and intimidate your neighbours into submission is not a recipe for regional peace and stability.

Which both the US and Israel combined seem unable to do.

The Linux kernel (and other open-source projects) have been working that way for decades.

But they have no “share price” to worry about, do they?

No source code?

Any love for Edward Tufte? He wrote entire books on this, decades ago. Get one or two.

After watching too many documentaries on Ancient Egypt, that pattern of blue-and-gold stripes just ...

Basically, there is no multimedia tool nowadays that is worth using, on any platform, that is not built on the FFmpeg libraries.

Is that an excuse for doing some more of killing of their people yourself?

Rank in order of profitability for Big Pharma:
* Curing a disease

* Selling a lifelong treatment that never quite cures the disease.

It can, you know.

No, I think static typing is what you meant.

That can be done in Python, too.

I can hear the words from here: “Are you out of your fucking MIND!!!??!!”

What is the difference between a missile that can carry a nuclear bomb, and one that can’t?

Python is typesafe. Dynamic typing does not preclude type safety.

In Python, everything is an object. Even functions and classes are objects.

When that tail hits your eye ... that’s a moray.

Everything in maths is numbers.

Gödel numbers.

Is this an excuse to binge-rewatch the entire “IT Crowd” series?!?

Remember that Framework products are endlessly configurable. This is not something Apple will ever give you again.
