   In dickens time did they have free education and generous welfare system? Stop with the nonsense rhetoric, **no one** here is suggesting we abolish worker protections and minimum wage and call it a day, so the fact you keep harping ont he same loaded language is getting tiring.

   What I am proposing is a system of free education and job training **to the extreme** and a good welfare system to help people during the transition. Nothing remotely dickens about it, its about the responsbility being ont he government to create healthy economies and to be the "charity" and not companies, which is how it should be.

   As to your question, I have lived in many places from egypt to the USA to the Netherlands, in fact I've lived in most major countries at this point, or at least most regions (europe, asia, americas, etc).I am not against taxes, as I stated before I'm against wasted taxes.. wasting it on minimum wage when it makes the problem **worse** rather than investing it in welfare and education that actually fixes the problem. In the netherlands they actually use their taxes for actual good, it covers (partly) education, it provides decent welfare systems, and that money is spent well on infrastructure and social works. Compare that to the USA where most of the taxes are completely wasted, I dont mind spending the extra money if i see those benefits actually being realized. Now they still waste a **lot**, and their system of minimum wage isnt helping. But overall they arent wasting all of our money on military or walls, so by in large it is spent on tangible things, more so than in the USA at least.

   If upon looking up an entry I find another value in that slot (bound to happen) I'd check the next slot (which our CPU has probably prefetched already) until we reach a slot which has never held a value. I'd have the type field distinguish always-was empty vs "tombstoned" slots.

   To set a value in the record under a given key, I'd locate the slot for that key or the first empty slot after where it should be.

   As for handling strings...

   4/5!

   The fall of Bashar Al-Assad shows that no amount of force can freeze history forever. Every autocratic regime will fall.

   But will they be succeeded by other authoritarian regimes? That will be determined by how they fall.

   This is the reason to build multiethnic, horizontal revolutionary movements that can play a role in the changes ahead.

   The more that ordinary Syrians from all backgrounds and walks of life participate in the next phase of the revolution—the less that it is dictated by money, weapons, and agendas outside of Syria—the less bloody it will likely be.

   As the millions of refugees who were forced to flee Syria make their way home, we hope that they will play a part in this.

   Tonight, we give thanks for every soldier who deserted rather than fighting for a dictator. May their refusals inspire others, in turn, not to kill or die for things that are unworthy of humanity.

   Burn every prison.

   Topple every oppressor.

   There are two discussions:

   1) What is the law (which doesnt care much about original intent anyway)
   2) What the law should be.

   As for #1 the law is quite clear “Shall not be infringed”, and any talk of militia has long since debunked a it is an exemplary clause not a conditional clause (we can verify that not just with early court documents and statements from the authors, but also its obvious from the wording if you replace it with similar sentence structure to eliminate your bias, we can discuss that separately if need be).

   As for #2 that matters even less about original intent and has everything to do with what is the right choice… The logic is quite simple IMO If someone is about to kill you almost 100% of the time you will be killed and the murderer gone long long before police arive. ITs the nature of it. In fact in almost all cases you wont even be able to call the police until after the crime (in other words once your dead or dying).

   Your only possibility for survival in such a situation rests solely on you, I for one find it irresponsible of anyone who is not armed for this very reason.

   Keep in mind we arent just talking about humans here, the logic applies equally to wild animals (for example I always take my gun hiking and camping).

   Thats the biggest logical reason, I have many others, and yes as a check against tyranny and invasion is a very valid one too. But overall they are much less relevant arguments.

   @evan To my understanding it’s foremost the fight to survive.

   Secondly it’s a message to the Iranian Ayatollahs.

   The many conflicts in that area show how ugly religions and political power can be.

   As long as nuts like Putin, Xi, Erdogan, the Ayatollahs, the orange guy from the US etc have any influence, as long it won’t end. These people aren’t civilized and they rate power over people.

   It would be good to see the International Court in The Haag very, very busy in the near future.

   @HistoPol @actuallyautistic I have a pair of SteelSeries 9s for gaming & movies .

   The AirPods are my goto hands free tho, I do love them, even if they are expensive as buggery !

   I know a lot of stuff I write about is not uniquely ND, & part of this whole journey is kinda finding the difference between the two . Not that there won’t be overlap , there surely will be.

   As ever my friend I appreciate your support. 😊🫶🐿️🖖
