While the concept as capitalism didn't exist, there are certainly many facets of the ancient economy that are facets of capitalism.

Most of the economy was privately held, just certain facets of modern capitalism like corporations didn't exist.

So, while you are technically true, you know exactly what they are talking about. We can't 100% relate, but issues like laborers getting a fair wage and the rich exploiting the poor were just as relevant then as now.

They are laying off people not on strike in response to the strike and blaming those on strike for it.

You are probably correct. I don't know if it's true, it's probably more likely it was a way for it not to fail.

I said HTTP mainly because HTML is plaintext because of it. 1.0s main purpose was to manipulate the page. Of course Array objects weren't added til 1.1, when netscape navigator 3.0 released, but it was still mostly 1.0 code. I felt like having everything be coercable to string made it easy for you to just assign it to the document. If you assigned the wrong thing it wouldn't crash.

I originally thought there was a precursor to microsofts XMLHTTP in an earlier version due to the 1997 ECMAScript documentation specifically talking about using it both client and serverside to distribute computations, but it was far more static. So, I'm probably just wrong.

Mainly because JavaScript was designed to work along side HTTP in a browser. Most of its input will be text, so defaulting common behavior to strings makes some sense.

Numbers 5:11-31. Here's a Wikipedia Article about it.

It starts at the local level. National 3rd party candidates are just spoilers used to split the vote enough for one side to win when they wouldn't in a 1v1. Until the third party builds enough momentum in city->county->state elections they will never be viable nationwide.

Instead of focusing on the national, they need to pick a few places to focus on and grow viable candidates throughout the whole process. If they can flip one state to the third party, then we might start talking about their viability.

Array.prototype.sort if no callback is passed to it will coerce non-undefined elements to strings when sorting. It does do that.

To sort numbers passing a function like (a, b) => a - b is good enough.
