This is possible with the asserts x is y pattern no?

I think the sticking points are:

1. You cannot return anything (say an immutable result that has consumed the input)

Okay, so don't return anything, just mutate the original. Except:

2. You cannot mutate the original, return nothing, but the mutated original isn't a subset of the original. For example: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/GYVwdgxgLglg9mABB...

Hmm, I see, yes it's quite limited.

Yes, and surely these minorities are not treated like second class citizens? What's that? "A 2018 report by the Israeli State Comptroller on the protection of non-Jewish civilians found that 46% of Arab citizens in Israel lack access to adequate shelters, compared to 26% of the general population" In the context of bomb shelters.

Because individual municipalities are the ones who build the bomb shelters, and the Arab municipalities put no effort in that direction.

And before you declare that the existence of Arab municipalities make Israel an apartheid state, all Israeli cities are mixed.

If all Israeli cities are mixed, then what is an Arab municipality? What point exactly are you trying to make?

Arab villages. Villages that start off with Arab inhabitants do not allow Jews to rent or buy property there. It's not a problem. But it makes these villages Arab only.

Likewise, there are Jewish villages. Few of these have Arab inhabitants, but it is not forbidden for them to move in.

> - Buying a house: Is this the best return I can get on a downpayment. (Spoiler: It is not).

This depends entirely on how much the mortgage costs compared to the rent you'd otherwise be paying no? It is very much case by case depending on where you live and therefore completely wrong to state as a general rule? In my area mortgages are far cheaper than rent, even if you account for 10% annual returns on your house deposit when renting, you would still come out far behind in the long term

it's a complicated calculation based on a lot of factors. Not only mortgage/rent difference, hence the calculators that are available.

Conflating a scenario that will likely result in many deaths with leaking some customer emails is kind of crazy to me. How are they morally equivalent? Both are bad, but there is a significant difference in how bad IMO.

Hmm, based on the definition I read, sounds like both sides are doing it, Israel is just much more successful at terrorism and doing it on a much larger scale.

That was on the set of The Hobbit, not LOTR, which used far less CGI

What a crazy take, I'm sure they love Kim Jong Un in North Korea too. In their shoes you'd manage to bring about regime change of course?

That is true, but a generous interpretation of the post leaves plenty of room for a benign intent.

From my reading of the article they had offers to buy the film which were more than the $30M tax benefit, but they declined them. If they sell the rights they don't have to handle release.

There's no world where that is a moral dilemma (for me, maybe it is for you?). The ends don't justify the means is not a general truth, is depends on the means and the ends. If the means is typing a word and the ends is saving millions of lives? That's no different from cutting a red wire as far as I can see. The implication of the phrase is that the means you are using are morally wrong. Any action is a 'means' to an end. I don't see how typing a word (any word) is morally wrong, it's not even being shared with anyone, only used to disarm the bomb.
