English speaking world has developed intuition about strings due to ASCII which simply fails when it comes to Unicode and that basically explains a lot of these pitfalls.

String length when defined #2 is also fairly complex when it comes to some languages such as Hindi. There are some symbols in Hindi which are not characters and can never exist as their own character but when placed next to a character they create a new character. So when you type them out on a keyboard you have to bit two keys but only one character will appear on screen. Unicode too represents this as two separate characters but for human eye it is one.

त + या = त्या

Following code will print 4

console.log("त्या".length);

Only if they had told the city official that they were planing to cook meth and sell it on streets then these inspectors would have totally turned a line eye on this little operation.

The long story short the couple should hire the right contractor who has the city officials on take and things will go smoothly

What I would have preferred is that Canada removing the burden off the taxi companies and let them give competition to Uber in innovation space instead of trying to bribe politicians to act as gatekeepers.

Based on bureaucratic overconfidence.

The real problem with most american cities is that there isn't that much crime yet the politicians feel the need to fight non-existent unfightable crime by making our lives miserable. California could have lead the way in offering good solutions for homelessness, mental illness, drug war, school choice etc. but yet it pushes for more and more nazi styled policies.

Hospitals = real estate + admin staff + operational expenses.

Liability insurance for example will come under this and so will the retainer for the lawyers who will help you understand complexities of ACA.

Obviously. Same goes for fossil fuels and water.

This might be just an oriental way of living. I am not sure why researchers are hell bent on classifying almost anything as some kind of mental issue. I frequently stepped out of workspace to grab a hot coffee and my psychologist friend told me that drinking hot beverages frequently is a person's way of coping to the lack of emotional warmth in life by replacing it with material warmth!

Homelessness should not be a problem in USA where land is plenty. If homelessness is a problem it is mostly because cities are not growing horizontally fast enough.

> . The US has known for at least a decade that spending more on IRS agents would earn more money than it would cost.

Isn't that proven to be a mostly false notion? Lower taxes tend to bring in more revenue and create more employment.

Obviously. Except that they have lobbied to pass laws to prevent competition and screw American consumers.

While I am personally totally going to try MJ once it gets legal I don't think I am going nowhere close to Heroine irrespective of its legality.
