I mean A could sell apples and buy cherries from C and then sell the cherries to B and buy their beans. That would make a zero sum with both countries. Sure it results in the same end result but with more shiping cost. I think the problem is that many people don’t understand, that a deficit in trade is nothing negative, you are not losing money as a country because you are still getting products.

Nobody complains, that we (as people) have a trade deficit with supermarkets, why don’t they employ us at least for the money we pay in groceries!?

Not even the yellow one in an empanizada with squash flower? I’m definitely on the team yellow mole.

Create a python file that only contains this function

def increase_by_one(i):
    # this increments i
    f=open(__file__).read()
    st=f[28:-92][0]
    return i+f.count(st)

Then you can import this function and it will raise an index error if the comment is not there, coming close to the most literal way

Any code which does not contain the comment “this increments i:” will produce a compile error and fail to run.

could be interpreted in python

Wait… Since when is drunk driving so normalized that it is a problem anyone has?

I disagree.

I disagree.

Pronouns are not names.

Yes, that is why I wrote “like”. They serve the same functionality.

second

That is the first time you wrote second. That’s very telling.

Well it kinda is. Pronouns are like names, in the sense that we use them to describe to whom we refer.

They are a non injective function on the name set.

The restriction you would like to make is that the function is not multivalued. But it is. As an example, Andrea is a name that is usually associated with a female person, but it is a normal name for male people in Italy.

We allowed people to be named whatever they wanted (or their parents wanted), so why not also let them choose whatever pronoun they prefer?

If you’re with Dan (they/them) and Dan (he/him), you would also have the problem when saying

“I was with Dan and Dan the other day. Dan hadn’t brought the poster, so Dan went back to the car to get it.”

So to avoud confusion, people should not be allowed to be called Dan anymore. In fact everyone gets a UUID so there is no more confusion.

We agree. We make he/him obsolete and we’re all she/her, as there are more female people on the planet, so less people have to adapt

Calling people what they ask to be called just doesn’t have to be this difficult.

We in fact do it all the time. It’s just people have gotten used to using names. But it’s not like you were born with a Dave chromosome. Your parents decided to call you Dave, so in the end it’s also just a made up name/sound.

Modern supercomputers can do computations that would take a person computing on the fastest abacus 10 septillion years which vastly exceeds the age of the universe, so do we live in a multiverse squared?

l10n is a removed. The exceptions are almost as bad as timezones…

The swiss use ’ as a separator. So they would write 900’000 which upside down would look like 000,006 so the confusion could continue

Luckily no one remembered to put it in the middle yet, which I assume is only because 50€10 looks cursed.

Exceptionally, the symbol for the Cape Verdean escudo (like the Portuguese escudo, to which it was formerly pegged) is placed in the decimal separator position, as in 2$50.
