100% fearmongering bullshit designed to erode property rights. Cars have been completely “open” throughout their entire history until recently, and the problems caused by irresponsible owner modification have been both negligible and entirely acceptable (compared to the alternative of going full-blown police state to stop them).
Make no mistake: full-blown police state is exactly what you’re arguing for when you suggest people shouldn’t have the right to modify their own fucking property!
Yes. Python is a multi-paradigm language, but IMO proper “pythonic” python looks a lot more functional than OO, with liberal use of duck-typed list comprehensions and such.
Python isn’t “untyped;” it is, in fact, strongly-typed. (And is markedly different than and superior to JavaScript on that point.)
This rant feels like it was written by an OO programmer who was never able to wrap his head around functional programming.


It doesn’t work that way; peddling bigotry and hate is an asymmetric tactic. It’s a lot easier to make slop that triggers people’s base fears in their lizard brain than it is to appeal to their enlightened sense of reasoning.

Congress needs to quit “requesting” and start subpoenaing.


Bezos-media is downplaying it. It’s not just “to punish lawyers;” it’s to deprive the accused of counsel.
I wish it had switched to different pages in the scene transitions.
Also don’t forget to ponder your palantirs!


Never blow your own brains out for something that’s someone else’s fault.
