It's a common mistake for U.S.-ians to think the rest of the world works exactly like their banana republic.

The tutorial claims that fib(0) = 1, which is wrong.

This one was easy to spot and would have been easy to get right. Makes me wonder…


From the first paragraph on Wiki:

> Many writers begin the sequence with 0 and 1, although some authors start it from 1 and 1[1][2] and some (as did Fibonacci) from 1 and 2.


From the first paragraph in the article you linked:

> Many writers begin the sequence with 0 and 1, although some authors start it from 1 and 1[1][2] and some (as did Fibonacci) from 1 and 2.


It hath already arrived.

If you rip everyone off anyway, why would you bother doing it “the nice way”?

Your system nosediving is the linter.

“Never trust a statistic you haven't faked yourself”. Of course “faked” is deliberately overblown, but just the way you collect your data could already amount to a “fake”, even if it wasn't deliberate. So those statistics mentioned by GP could be honest as far as intentions are concerned. It would merely be incompetence.

The linked article points to a GitHub repo. Clone it and do `cargo install icann-rdap-cli`. Of course you need the Rust toolchain for that.

It would be up to the browser to render HTML sensibly. Use a browser that can.

There is a specification that says how it should be rendered. I definitely don't want every browser to decide how to render my webpage, that would just make development so much harder and complex.

Or just the keys to total surveillance and suppression of web content they don't like.

Why would they need to do that when they already have the formula down? How much have you been hearing about all the protests?

Things are going to get more heated as the voluntary economic downturn heats up. The current protests get some coverage but we’re starting to see even the loyalists realize that they won’t be spared, and that is likely to increase protests considerably.

Why wouldn't they?

Also they have the have the formula because they've already done it. And it works, why wouldn't they want to keep doing it, but more?


Well now to be fair, total surveillance and suppression of any content they don't like is worth a whole lot more than rare earth deposits to a government.

I was about to say, “don't give him any ideas”, but it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway.
