If history shows anything is that Vietnam will defeat any other country. US, China, France, etc. they are simply invincible.

Does it matter if they'll stay in the UK? It does not. What matters is that they felt persecuted at home and fled.

What exactly is that that you take exception with? Classifying Colombia as a narco-state? Just because the cartels were (mostly) destroyed it doesn't mean narcotraficantes don't have incredible influence on the Colombian state. Th

Reducing consumption of drugs in general due to mass spreading of fear of instant death from laced coke could be one. Also there's money in selling Fentanyl.

Somehow criminals are never mentioned in these arguments.

Agree in parts but behind this argument there is an assumption that legal drugs would cause the market for illegal drugs to collapse entirely. Has not happened with alcohol (between 14 and 23% of alcohol sold in the US is illegal). Adderall

One of the favorite conspiracy theories of mine is that Fentanyl is a secret government project designed to scare the shit out of drug users so they stop using due to the fear of contamination.

I would love to see this assertion distilled further.

Potentially, yes. But that case would only be good against poor _execution_ of the war on drugs, not the _concept_ that drugs need to be dealt with as if we were in a war. Activists seem to oppose the concept, which is where I disagree.

Having lived in Asia (low drug problems) and Latin America (drug-dominated hellhole) I much prefer the way drugs (and dealers) are dealt with in Asia than in Latam. The idea that waging war on drugs is a bad one sounds like a nut idea from

Sure. Does that justify it being the best option for every development task? This is what I am puzzled by.

If that was the only premise ("C-like performance, etc.") then I can understand. What I don't is that there seems to be no use case for which Rust isn't good. That is the part that bothers me.

I am asking genuinely, without implying anything and/or being sarcastic: why is the HN community so obsessed with Rust? It seems to show up on every programming-related thread and most times mentioned as a Swiss knife of a language, su
