It offers protection from crackers and cybergangs too, because they always follow laws. /s

Yes, without hesitation, although I’d want to rinse it first to avoid cross-contamination.

Banana picking and shipping as it usually happens isn’t exactly sterile, either. Or the grocery store where everyone is sorting through them. This is also why you should wash anything you don’t peel.

Yeah, I futzed with it a bit. At first I did sesquicentennial, but that’s purely an adjective which isn’t great. Sesquicentenary refers to the day, so that wouldn’t work. So, I made a nonce word which, if you know these other two, is clear.

I’ll just ignore the insulting tone.

They addressed that, actually.

True to the spirit of journalistic inquiry, your correspondent can attest that seawater has not degraded the taste of the bananas, with the only threats to health posed by skin slippage and by eating too many of them.

Definitely peel it first.

I mean, that was slightly fictional, although that’s the maybe the joke. And set a sesquicentury ago.

Man, they really are trying everything to get you to click the magic button.

Not shocked. The fact other people might be shocked just tells you how out of control trust in the magic boxes and the people who sell them has gotten. When they collect something more sensitive or embarrassing, people just assume the security and regulation must be tighter to match.

So do you trust cell towers more, or just stay offline when out and about?

Putting aside from the implied EV context, I’m not sure I’d go that far. They were repairable, but had a lot of proprietary design in them as well.

I would still go with one of the “legacy” manufacturers for myself, though.

FairCar when?

In a scripting language, is there an advantage to no garbage collection? (I honestly don’t know)

Someone else also pointed out to me, when I made a similar suggestion, that ability to partially fail but keep going is desirable in a web context. I don’t know, maybe there’s some way to make Rust do that more automatically than C. Python seems the be the standard for general-purpose scripting, which is why I mentioned it.

X to doubt.

About the “hurting the economy” part. Replacing more stuff = more economy is a well-known economics fallacy and they should know better.

Hmm. The Wikipedia article mentions a French essay as the origin of the idea.

I’m not sure what you mean by this. nations either chose or didn’t firmly choose a side, but lumping together all the ones that didn’t choose together is categorisation. The non-aligned movement was there too but it didn’t include the whole third world.

Invent a new internet where you can script pages directly in Python or TypeScript.

Otherwise, you get to enjoy a silly toy language from the 90’s.

Okay, have a great day.

It’s also just a global trend anecdotally, and probably based on other research that’s been done. And it almost certainly does extend to MENA for reasons I mentioned. This is one of those infographics that’s not really surprising.

based on non-global data carefully selected to leave out anything that doesn’t agree?

Basically, asked and answered.

since that implies intentionality or completely different results.

I don’t really see evidence of either. Many minor countries elsewhere are neglected as well, and it’s still a global trend.

So you don’t want to go against the jerk, okay.

And subsaharan Africa, including Nigeria I think.

Edit: Yep, punishable by hard time in the Christian south, and death in the Muslim north. Other Christian nations down there have brought in the death penalty over time.
