> It's their relentless deindustrialization that will eventually do them in

Agree, China has already won, at this point a lot of the world sees them as a more sane option than USA as well which is a nuts timeline

Anecdotal but we certainly run flyway migrations with a high privelage user not the regular low privelage "app" user who can only SELECT UPDATE and sometimes DELETE. The fact that nobody does this doesn't mean it's a bad idea just a reflection on poor industry practice (add it to the list)

This! I've worked with a few developers I would consider net negative to their team and product, in that their removal would have increased 3-4 other team members productivity by say 20% each. Coincidently these developers were almost exclusively Indian immigrants. In organisation with poor corporate culture and the ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) days of hiring to signal growth and managers hiring to increase the number of reports (to signal importance) compounded the problem

I thought copy.fail is a privelage escalation exploit, become root from a regular user? Am I missing something?

How would "node architecture" make people vulnerable to this?

You have to have shell access to a victim first right? Or am I missing something?

In an interview with Zelinsky Trump asks "why haven't you had an election? " Zelensky : "because we are at war" you can see the idea percolating then. People think I'm a nutter for suggesting there just won't be another election but that's where my money is. I'm waiting for his version of the Gestapo, ICE seems to be a proving ground

Not even particularly elegant code, for example, opacity is clamped between 0 and 1 in in the very next line a bounds check is made anyway.

  opacity = (opacity < 0) ? 0 : opacity;
  opacity = (opacity > 1) ? 1 : opacity;
  if(opacity >= 0 && opacity <= 1) {
      document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0].style.opacity = opacity;
  }

> these religious institutions help stabilize society

I'm not sure this is true, there are plenty of conflicts because of religion. I would argue the most stable would for nobody to be religious
