Definitely a useful tool and one you should've learned in a college algorithms course. Binary search backs a lot of high performance data structures

Past performance is no indicator of future performance. It's entirely possible that the Zapatistas cause the collapse of the Mexican government just as it's possible that they fade away into oblivion.

The luddites were annihilated and their philosophy has never been as prevalent or popular as it was in their uprising. While there's still a chance of a popular resurgence they still missed their best opportunity and were crushed by the state.

History has hundreds of suppressed revolts to every success.

That's not to say it's hopeless: just that it isn't inevitable. We'd like to believe that with enough tries you can succeed but that is a fallacy.

My point is and always has been the same: we don't and can't know if Anarchism will win out against statist forces or not. All we know is that it never has.

If you're expecting a more polemic argument about Anarchism Bad or something you won't find it. I wasn't here to debate anarchism: just to add a caveat.

Remains to be seen if anarchism can ever win though.

Statist forces have always triumphed.

Nowhere does this preclude future victory: this is an accurate representation of the current state of affairs. Anarchy has 0 victories and it remains to be seen if there will be any.

Until 1783 Democracy had no modern victories either, and it very much remained to be seen if it would.

But none of those triumphs were inevitable.

It's nice to think they were: I'd rather live in a world without slavery and with democracy but there was no guarantee of success except the fact that in hindsight it was successful.

Not all forms of government have won out. Nor will all possible forms of government succeed.

In case "Pearson" wasn't enough context for the rest of you either:

This is a strike specific to the Toronto Pearson Airport. Unfortunately it is not a nationwide strike in either Canada or the USA

The average American stay in a home is has been ~8 years.

That number is going to double with rates like this.

Given that the American system is supposed to be a market that's a bad sign: frozen markets are not efficient markets.

This doesn't mean people can stay in their homes in a crisis: it means people can't move. A job the next city over would have to pay thousands more to make selling your home a rational decision. The article says it's on average $511/mo different.

A crisis still lands you homeless in America.

I'll be very sad to quit it but I will too.

Sorry I interpreted

I really think it deserves its own genre.

As a statement calling for a genre with it's own name.
