That's what I thought. But then I started thinking. OK, if it's some amzingly tannine-rich, oakey whine.. sure, Bordeaux. And if it's something really 'juicey', acid whine, sure.. Beaujolais nouveau. Etc. But those

I feel your pain, but let me ask you: how should we manage this as a society? The fact that air pollution kills massively is not 'new'. Should we stop reporting on it? Should we continue, but use other headlines? Because the solut

Yes and no. Things were different, for sure. Hell end 80's I hung around a random polytechnic school at age 14, where I played to my hearts content with their professional CAD stations and programed their robotic arm. I had no reason b

Flunked comp Sci, but I can give you my understanding. They have noticed a behavior of quantum systems, and they can now reproduce it. This is interesting because a) being able to reproduce it means you can study it, and thus possible bette

Well, many BASICs had GOSUB, which sort of gave you function calls (albeit sans parameters)

You're not wrong in saying that tax codes in general are complex. The problem is, they're complex for a reason. Tax codes are a tool of policy makers. They allow wealth and income distribution. They allow compensation. And they al

This is sort of the interesting thing with AI. It's a moving target. Every time when an AI problem gets cracked, it's "yea but that's not really AI, just a stupid hack". Take autonomous cars. Sure, Musk is over-hypi

If you live in Europe, you can contact the facebook DPO and request a (legally mandated) hard delete. They're then allowed to keep data for legal reasons (tax, legal intercept, etc) but not beyond.

There's a bit of that. But I think a big part of the reason is that national governments can not address international issues. The EU represents 300M people, and has the economic and political weight to make a dent. The same goes for o

Actually, I always thought that puzzles were a poor recruiting tool. But now that he explained the problem, with all it's complexities and stakes, I kind of see the relevance. Managing an application for 4B ppl is not something to snee

Crypto is hot because there's some greater fool to sell to. Eliminate that greater fool (by informing) and the whole pyramid scheme comes tumbling down.

Loss of pressure at 30k is deadly. In recent history a mechanic forgot to reset 'oxygen' to 'auto' after some debugging session. The two pilots missed it on their checklist. While they were climnbing they gradually lost

The UK, Germany and the Netherlands had respectively oil, coal and gas reserves. France only had uranium reserves in Africa. Also, de Gaul figured out quickly that without nukes, France would cease to count geopolitically. To build nukes yo

While indeed people do not use jetpack in a day-to-day manner, they are becoming slightly more 'available' than you portray. See this video where one of the corridor crew members participates in a jetpack training. https:/&#

That works great for you and me. But the average person (or even the average IT dept) does not want to open their machine to update the BIOS. Essentially your proposition comes down to 'no BIOS updates. And that has it's own probl

Arguably, if someone would hack BTC, he or she would have to make sure no-one found out. Because if people knew that BTC was hacked, the bottom would fall out under it, and all your stolen coins would become worthless. Not to say that I thi

I think the discussion over crypto is, like many other discussions currently, broken. Two groups of people arguing their side, not realising they are both wrong (and both right). Good for you on getting in early. Crypto, as a concept, is ex
