Typescript requires any for ES6 compatibility, but if your code is converted enough ("enough" occurring pretty early in conversion projects in my experience) you can set the compiler flag to forbid non-explicit usage of any.
The party representing the minority opposed to healthcare for all has
1. a structural advantage granting them a government majority more often than the popular vote would suggest;
2. a wide array of obstructive tools at their disposal, including simply refusing to schedule a Senate vote.
The other party literally has universal health care in their platform, and secured a partial expansion less than a decade ago.
Saudi Arabia and China are not cultural monoliths. Their ruling classes may have a cultural value of stamping out dissenting values, but their subcultures so targeted would certainly disagree.
As the GP noted, if you don't even know the order of magnitude to expect, the cost will always be a concern. The upper bound on the price is in the trillions, after all.
> If we start making hospitals list prices beforehand, then they're going to have to raise the base price for an uncomplicated birth in order to subsidize those that do experience complications.
This function is currently performed by insurance companies; a frequent criticism is that insurance should limit itself to true emergency situations, but when any routine operation can balloon in price unexpectedly, it's not irrational to want its purchase mediated through the insurance provider.
Democracy is no more a native idea for western culture; 250 years ago every state was a monarchy, and political ideologies based in hierarchy still regularly win elections.
"Go make some friends" is too vague for somebody who does not already have a bootstrapped social circle.
If you don't fact check information, nobody can say you know it's false.
You can't say Sinclair is "combating the national news broadcasters"; they themselves are a national news broadcaster. They just happen to like branding themselves with local faces.
Are you thinking something like "FastCGI, except over stdin/out instead of a listening socket"? Since that sounds like it could work pretty efficiently if (unlike nginx's fcgi implementation) it supported multiplexing.
Implementations of boxed_clone() could still use &self.clone() to limit boilerplate.
Alternatively, if the Materials are not going to be modified and you just need multiple references to the same object, you could replace the Box<> with an Rc<> or Arc<>.
Genetic variation within a racial group is comparable to genetic variation across groups, making it incoherent as a biological concept even before you get into more-obviously-cultural constructs like the "one-drop rule".
And even if you can't meaningfully cut your usage any further, inflating utility prices would still make a local solar installation more attractive.
Varying prices or manipulating quality of service based on the endpoint's identity is.
In usual Javascript patterns, this intuition works, but it's not sound, since arrays are mutable; the function could write to the array, appending a Dog or a Potoo or a Jellyfish- valid for an Animal[] argument, but not sound for a Cat[].
In practice, in most JS code I've seen, arrays are constructed once and then are passed around as immutable collections, so Typescript's unsoundness saves a lot more casting than it introduces errors.
