It isn't. Typescript is basically javascript with type annotations. There is a shorthand for class member initialisation and for defining enums, but that's basically it. There are no extra safety checks inserted. You get compile-time typechecking and nothing else.

It means trust builds slowly but can be lost rapidly. It's not about horse theft.

Preferably neither, but anywhere is better than Israel. Who would want to live in a genocidal apartheid state? Iran was a democracy before US and UK intervention, perhaps they will be again when they win the illegal war against them.


Anywhere? North Korea? Sudan? Houthi’s Yemen? The hyperbole broke the charts…


Literally about land, oil, rare earth minerals…


You can claim that and it's a comfortable thing to believe but that does not make it true.

If you want to convince somebody who actually seeks truth, you have to make an argument how any country who has started a war recently has had a net economic profit.


Weord position to defend. So: modern wars are not about resources because there's enough food to feed everybody, those wars that are widely understood to be about resources (oil, land) are "distribution problems" and not about resources, and the only way to prove that they are is to show a country-wide economic benefit to the victor directly related to the war...

Confidently dismissing others based on your own weird definitions and shifting goalposts does not make you seem as knowledgeable as you think.


> those wars that are widely understood to be about resources (oil, land)

The Ukraine war was started because Putin wanted it to be his heritage that Ukraine is part of Russia. The Donbas has some mines but nothing that cannot be found eleswhere in the vast expanse of the Russian empire and nothing that Russia couldn't easily have bought with its oil money.


Ok, so what do you think these wars are about?


Ukraine: Personal Grandeur by Mr Putin.

Iran: Security, hate, personal Grandeur


We very much do compete for resources. People die of famine, thirst, exposure, and other lack-of-resources-related causes every day. That we could theoretically feed everyone doesn't matter when people compete for more than their fair share.


These are distribution problems. Usually intentional.

There is enough food to feed everybody.


The extreme version of this would be insects like ants and certain types of bees, where the vast majority of individuals are biologically incapable of reproduction, and serve the one or few queens that are capable.


You realize that the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf are different places, right? Your link does not support your argument.


Surely the number of people needed to maintain a reasonable throughput of the legal system scales approximately linearly with the number of offences? I don't see why a country of millions would be unable to have an efficient and functional legal system, even if the US does not.


I have seen at least one stretch of highway in Germany that has overhead power lines for trucks. I think it's a very interesting concept: the big downside of batteries is slow charging (compared to diesel) and limited range. Charging while driving on highways would largely solve these downsides.


Cargo trolleybuses? An interesting idea.


Yes, which is why substance addictions are in the DSM-5 and internet/gaming/social media addictions are not.
