It is a well-known fact that the Adult Entertainment industry is always the first to integrate new technologies. The most (in)famous part of Minitel were the "minitel rose" services ('rose' as in 'pink', I&#x27

Parent (boys aged 6 and 9) here. At first I figured that school at that age (kindergarten) was basic skills, not very critical, and as you say mainly a way of getting kids out of the way. With some experience now, I think that school provid

The funny thing is, developers will always have a more precise and detailed domain knowledge. Because unlike the PM, who can analyze the problem in the abstract and approximate, the developer must produce working code. However it is very di

I tended to agree with the soft version. But I just realized, what it's saying is that you need to know about a concept. The language is not necessary. In theory you can imagine a concept, not give it a name, and still use it. You can&

Put your search in quotes. Putting just one term / word in quotes makes it an non-optional search term btw.

I believe you can designate the state as the recipient of the 'church tax'. For example if you're atheist..

Thank you for taking the time for such a didactical and complete answer. It's exchanges like this that take make HN special. The links are really helpful btw. Where do you get your daily news feed? If you have something like 'hack

Unless we find a way to 'produce' (the P in GDP) without increasing entropy by digging up stuff (oil, metals, whatever) and then releasing them into our ecosystem once we're done with them, those limits seem to be pretty clos

Aside from reproducibility issues in ML, what sort of issue did you have in mind in CS? Most CS work is 90% maths, I don't see how you can have reproducibility issues?

to quote Wikipedia: A fusion energy gain factor, usually expressed with the symbol Q, is the ratio of fusion power produced in a nuclear fusion reactor to the power required to maintain the plasma in steady state. The condition of Q = 1, wh

Thanks for the footnote =) And I concur. Outsourcing your IT replaces one type of work with another. If you can't manage your externalized projects, you're gonna get eaten alive by IT services suppliers. In fact my line of work wa

Have done consulting for 15 years, understand your feelings. But I'd like to offer some alternative viewpoints. Buying an off the shelve package also buys you an industry-standard business process. The idea is that part of value comes

They have in house council coming out their ears, that know the relevant contracts, regulation and precedents by heart, and whose day job it is to manage these issues. They have the budget to delay / protract things indefinitely. You a

That's like saying : our nuclear power plant didn't have such a horrible accident, it has only released half of Chernobyl. It's the same sort of reasoning that is leading people to say that they shouldn't have to pay t

The government, no. It can only make laws and execute them. But it can not interpret. That role is reserved for the tribunals. Judges are supposed to determine what is protected speech, and what is not.

It is? Fraud, libel, perjury. I guess academic fraud is fraud in the legal sense. The problem is that the 'fraud' statute requires 'damages' and 'intent' to have standing, and they're difficult to prove in

And an economy. Russian has the economy of Spain, with three times the population. And that economy is 50 percent oil and gas.

In the inconceivable case that this is an earnest question, it's from the movie 'the princess bride'. Highly recommend it.

Agree with you on the fact that it was a questionable move. But there is a big difference between excluding one source (which is directly and formally controlled by the Russian state).. and putting 15 year sentences on "publishing thin

While it is true that journalism has suffered recently, this is a false equivalent. It is true that in the US, if you want to live in a bubble, you can. However, that's a choice. There are many, many other information channels. And the

One can reason that engaging in an arms race is not a good idea neither. It may, on a systemic level accelerate things, and you may end up creating the world you wanted to prevent. Moreover, everything seems obvious afterwards. But what if
