Non profit: Every dollar not spent on patient can be donated a NGO and then laundered into your own pockets. For profit: While company A keeps the profit, company B lowers its prices instead. Now customers are going to company B instead of

These kind of tactics work for simple examples. In real world http servers you'll retain memory across requests (caches) and you'll need a way to handle blocking io. That's why most commonly we use GC'd/ownership la

I stopped reading news in the last 3 years and i havent had one "damn, i didnt know about that" moment. News is truelly unimportant. As for "nowadays there's no difference between those 2 things". I think the "
