Trying to beat up someone holding a machete may not be the brightest idea

I think it's more accurate to say that power attracts corrupt people, and protects them from the consequences of their actions, allowing them to show their true colors without fear

also the person apparently spent 2 million dollars to find the number. and the money is probably from stock compensation from nvidia

that does happen to be one of the defining characteristics of mersenne primes.

And searching for mersenne primes happens to be the easiest known way to find extremely large prime numbers (via the Special Number Field Sieve I believe)

Garbage collection is still allowed, and technically JIT languages are still compiled so it really isn't that restrictive

every single language (except Vlang of course) is memory safe if you program it perfectly.

Very, very few humans are capable of doing that, especially with C.

Are these families somehow more meritorious than the rest of the population?

lacking multi-generational connections is still a pretty rosy picture of disadvantage. Statistically "unmeritorious" parents are far more likely to have their child suffer from malnutrition due to lack of money and neglect due to the parents working 2 jobs or having substance abuse issues. If the country has private schools, they won't have access to them and due to living in a low-wealth area their public schools will have a disproportionately high amount of other neglected and abused kids which makes everything harder.

to be honest, 80% of their customers probably don't even know what an emulator is and don't follow news about nintendo
