Totally agree. I think there's another class of substances though where withdrawal results in symptoms like fever, vomiting, etc. that are consistent across users regardless of their mental state.

I bet 10-15 years ago the Tianamen video would be undeniable proof. But now with deepfakes and other video editing, it wouldn't be that crazy for an average person in China to simply not believe the video was real if their government u

Literally anything can be mentally addicting. I think people are referring to the idea that pot is not physically addicting, meaning that your body won't experience withdrawal symptoms when you come down. Tons of people are habitual sm

Starting a preemptive nuclear war with another nuclear super power is probably the fastest way to ensure the collapse of human society.

It is a little far fetched to think the audience didn't listen or ask questions about any potential risks. It's easy to go back after an accident and find multiple points of failure and find things that could have been done better

Sure, but I guess by that same logic not rigging a foreign election would impact a country too.

Sorry, I think the point I was trying to make was that most governments try to openly influence politics in other countries rather than protecting free elections. I totally agree that vote rigging would be particularly egregious. However, I

How do you feel about any foreign political intervention? I'd guess that 50+% of 3rd world leaders are supported by some foreign government financially or militarily which keeps them in power. But yes, it doesn't feel good when a

Wild guess -- Rep. & Dem. political parties are more motivated by self-serving interests than guided by any sustained principles. Both will easily flip on war, justice, tax reform, voting, etc. as needed. Part of the problem is it'

I have a similar aversion to JS as the author, but unfortunately it's still the best tool for the job in manipulating the DOM. Phoenix LiveView looks really cool. Under the hood though it's injecting JS that diffs the current DOM

The biggest problem IMO with JS and performance is event listeners. If they setup event listeners on each card, talk, etc. it could easily kill performance. Turns out this is easily solved by setting up a single event listener on the root e

It's better than the alternative of giving in. Shutting down / reopening the company takes $$ and I still think you'd have a decent lawsuit against the new startup.
