What?

For anybody who doesn't understand the argument, it's specifically a rebuttal to the idea that "The second amendment only applies to muzzle loaded muskets because nothing more advanced existed at the time"

"Free speech only applies to newspapers and soapboxes because nothing more advanced existed at the time"

70 years is not enough to fully industrialize a society

Russia, China

Also, I imagine industry in general becomes significantly easier when you have people that can summon construction projects out of the ground or weld with their bare hands.

Also, society isn't industrialised. One city state within society is industrialised.

Also, the fire nation was already undergoing industrialisation at the time of ATLA.

The conversation goes

  • Taxation is theft because it's involuntary
  • Having to have a job is also involuntary
  • No you can choose not to have a job you'll just be homeless
  • You can choose not to pay taxes you'll just go to prison, because "just don't have income or property" is as impractical as "just live your life from prison"

Private Vs public has nothing to do with security

If people can execute arbitrary code in your app, they can already read your memory, and even if they couldn't they could use java reflection to just turn off the private modifier

Accessibility modifiers are to do with maintainability. If you have internal implementation logic that should be hidden from a consumer you don't want that consumer to have to know about things they shouldn't be changing anyway.

The comic is just about how classnames in java should be in pascal case

You won't have more issues with it than you'll already have using Windows.

You absolutely will, and the ones you get will be harder to solve. It's far more useable than it used to be, but the overall experience with Windows is still easier.

BUT it probably is quite usable for you overall. Just don't go into it expecting nothing but smooth sailing.
