Resource freeing sounds like the reaponsibility of a destructor, not a move assignment operator. Am I mistaken?

You can't discriminatorily price gouge, because price is a discriminator and the attribute by which it discriminates is, well, price... Which isn't a protected characteristic. It is not illegal for Alice to charge any price she wants for any thing that is legal to sell for any other price.

@gerrit "If the livestock weren't there, these resources would be used to grow food edible by humans" Why do you think that's the case? The UK for instance farms a lot of livestock and has absolutely no issues with food shortages.

Why should I have to give the government a slice of pie that I haven't yet baked? What if I never intend to bake it? If anything, you're arguing for a disincentive for me to ever become able to bake in the first place. Personally I'd rather someone have a giant stockpile of potential pies that benefit humankind as a whole than the government taking as much as they can to spend on invading sandy countries in the middle of nowhere.

As a tiny nitpick, it's spelt (and pronounced) "voila".

"it is easier and less time consuming if you are able to schedule such meetings in person without a long lead time" for management to walk up to my desk and interrupt me multiple times a day sure, it's not very time consuming for them, but then my flow is destroyed. A five minute interruption is easily a half hour productivity loss. Honestly this whole situation sounds like you have a twofold problem - poor tooling, and sticks in the mud in management.

... Why is killing your own commanding officer at all, let alone with a specific weapon, a "common strategy"?

Does the US not have an equivalent of the UK's "protected characteristics", whereby it's not that you're a white male that you're protected, it's that EVERYONE is protected from discrimination targeting skin colour and sex?

@Renan were you intentionally alluding to the Earth being a living organism, with the rockets we humans launch as the spores?

This answer is predicated on the idea that you learn how to program at exactly one point in your life, then never keep up with the times as they change with regards to your career. That you learnt XSLT and it's now useless is nothing to do with a degree, and having a degree or not doesn't have any bearing on your ability to notice "oh hey, XSLT is on the way out and this new thing is taking over, better learn it".

Surely that's not absolute though? Binary a dynamically references library b. I run a, and before it loads b, I update the package containing them both. When my (now old) a loads b, it loads the new one, and catastrophe is abound, no?

It sounds a bit like you're trying to close the door after the horse has bolted. Have your report come to you with their plans, before they are turned into solutions.

Also, if the system was susceptible to SPECTRE, one should consider the host machine compromised too, if I understand correctly.
