Are you against using a single letter variable like e for element in iterating over things?

And lets you easily write metal languages due to the way you can pass around blocks. Think configuration as code type stuff.

This makes me want to write a function for you to add to numbers where the variables are leftumber and rightnumber, instead of x and y.

You're talking in circles. The problem is because men are the largest perpetrator, well also being the biggest benefactor of being a man. They are literally on both ends. Women on the other hand are largely targeted by men for crimes of various sorts, well also not benefiting from the patriarchy.

Hell they have to have separate train cars for women in japan because men can't keep their hands to themselves.

There is nothing societal that benefits black drivers. That's exactly the point. There is no equity here. If I'm a black driver, chances are I'm already on the back foot. People might cancel their rides once they see me, or bring cops into play and have other violence brought against me. Remember that one black dude in Central Park who was bird watching and had a woman start accusing him of stuff.

Don't put women further on the back foot. Don't put persons of color on the back foot. Cis white men already have the advantage in so many ways.

It's not funny anymore.

Marry me. Feels like so many people here miss the point.

So I'm guessing affirmative action is discrimination?

If you could empathize, then you'd understand how shitty of a sentence, "WhAt abOUT BlAckS," is. Or, "It's okay to ignore the problem 'cause it's not fair to men."

Really think about it. Guys have no choice but to not have the option. What is taken away? This is the same BS as, "Why do we need a lactation room? MEN can't use it." "How come women get days off for their PMS-related things, I don't menstruate."

The problem is risk. A lot of the bureaucracy that exists for any company is risk mitigation. The wiping of servers, or using suction cups, or any of that is a security against a large dollar amount to spend if something goes wrong. But that's just the cost of security, it's worthless if it isn't tested. If a locked door isn't rattled or deter someone, it might as well have been unlocked.

He took a gamble and the doors were not rattled and everything worked. The thing to criticize here is really the carelessness. What if one of those servers got out and somebody stole all of that data? What if while under those floorboards he got damaged, or something related did? And it's not just these two questions, there's stuff in that article that probably wasn't covered that we can question.

There may be things that are not in the book that we can question, and that is the problem with Elon. He needs a string of bad luck to show how truly dangerous he is.
