Soo.... one side has entered a country with soldiers and tanks, but the people responding by arming themselves against the soldiers and tanks are the ones escalating?

Ok then.

Maybe because Russia realized that Edward Snowden had a powerful name and they'd win favour with the lefties of the world if they protected him? That's one possibility. Or maybe because "let me try and be friends with the (perceived) enemies of my enemies." (although Snowden wouldn't characterize himself as an enemy of the US).

The important point is - a good thing done for bad reasons, might still be better than a bad thing.

Are the logic and the rendering loop in separate threads?

If so, how do you ensure that when the rendering loop reads the shared state, it sees something consistent (i.e. something that hasn't been updated by the logic loop in between the time when the rendering loop started accessing it, and the time when the rendering loop finished accessing it)?

> 2. The world decides it will be a major part of the financial system, and it goes to 500k or 1 million.

Where does this belief come from?

Dollars are also a major part of the financial system, at yet each dollar is only worth $1.

Research is great but common sense is a good starting point.

We know lungs are very sensitive and easily accumulate shit in them. Therefore the reasonable position is to assume that anything you point into your lungs is harmful, unless you have extremely strong evidence that it's not (as opposed to assume that something is safe until evidence that it's not.)

So: assume that e-cigs will give you lung cancer.

Could someone more savvy clarify....

On that page I do inspect, got console and do:

loadDBAndExec('SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10;')

I get

Uncaught ReferenceError: loadDBAndExec is not defined

Why doesn't this work?
