Employees of financial businesses are absolutely obligated to learn the laws of every country where they provide services.
Or to come back to the SQL injection analogy, no one is surprised that the web app can query the database for password hashes. The surprise is that it can be instructed to do so when loading the next image in a carousel.
"Every program attempts to expand until it can process _payments_. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."
The order of the back-rank pieces is randomized (but identical for both players).
""" [C]onsider a meteorite which, instead of deciphering the outer-space Bach record, punctures it with colossal indifference, and continues in its merry orbit. It has interacted with the record in a way which we feel disregards the record's meaning. Therefore, we might well feel tempted to call the meteorite "stupid". But perhaps we would thereby do the meteorite a disservice. Perhaps it has a "higher intelligence" which we in our Earth chauvinism cannot perceive, and its interaction with the record was a manifestation of that higher intelligence. Perhaps, then, the record has a "higher meaning"-totally different from that which we attribute to it; perhaps its meaning depends on the type of intelligence perceiving it. Perhaps. """
An extra thank you for apparently creating a new account to assist me. (I think that's what the green username indicates, at least).
"Do four colors suffice to color any map? — took more than a century to answer (the answer is yes, in case you were wondering)."
and
"Returning our attention to colorings in which connected nodes are supposed to be different colors, we have no guarantee that the five colors in our palette will be sufficient to color the graph G"
How can it be that 4 colors is sufficient for any graph, but for our hypothetical graph G we can't be sure that 5 colors are sufficient?
This part of it all, in particular, reminds so much of “Meditations on Moloch”[1] . If anyone hasn’t read through this, I highly recommend it. It’s an inspiring look into how human society gets trapped into these games where no one wins, but to stop playing is much worse.

It's interesting that you begin with a comment like this to seemingly dismiss Satre and Camus as not being real philosophers, and then you proceed to put forward your own terribly unfounded philosophy with no supporting argument.
Example: ?a=<script>void('&b=');alert('XSS')</script>
The value of a is <script>void(' and the value of b is ');alert('XSS')</script>.
W&R proved 1+1=2 in their axiomatic system. It wasn't done to prove once and for all that 1+1 is in fact 2, but to show that their system produced mathematical truths. The truth of 1+1=2 was already assumed and understood since they were kids, and that's why it was necessary that their system also produce it.
Of course PM was obliterated by Godel shortly after.

Thanks for correcting me!
I know this is irrelevant to the larger point of your post, and I'm sure that you know this already, but the worst case is the big-O. This is just another reason why "big-O" is not the most helpful thing to discuss in practice.
> This used to be how the US operated, how both majorities (women) and minorities got the right to vote, and more.
You might be giving a bit too much credit to company lobbyists and not enough to law-breaking activists. Both examples involved extensive illegal actions to accelerate change.
There's a scene where we can see Elliot running CentOS on his personal laptop. Not that lends any realism (CentOS is more common on servers, not PCs) but it does show their awareness of Linux beyond Kali.
