The article starts with "I hate wasting time passively watching that TV stuff", then makes a weak point admitting that wasting time on editing or reading Wikipedia is useful. Then it ends pointing in the opposite direction: "But let profess

Good social development statistics doesn't mean the people are happy with their lives. As I see, the article takes the results for granted without any doubt and then speculates and searches for the reasons. I'd at least search for the polls

I say what I think. I don't think saying "doesn't seem to exist, but many people believe" may harm any kid. If a kid asks me of sexual stuff, i'll think twice, because what I say can be transmitted to parents in a different shape. Let me as

Can anyone explain what's meant by "o" and "u" word? Googled, but found no explanation.

Never heard "Ask your parents" in my life. I guess it's only in American culture.

Art Lebedev isn't a startup and has nothing to do with skilled programming. He's good at courtshiping rich companies instead.

1) Many of them are training for contests, not for real-life tasks 2) They could make startups, but there is a huge bureaucracy. 3) Many have bad habbits (in wide sense) and passive approach to life and pessimism which are trained in early

That's what I thought of too.

The contract, I suppose, was a standard one from a laws/contacts database. So don't worry much about the layer father. It might be that father has told the son what is best to do (to buy all the rights for the copyrighted material), and the

In childhood, in early years of school, I perceived teachers as evil and good. In the last years of school we used to label them as "normal" and "crazy" (or "idiots", if one preferred). My grades were exceptionally high with "good" teachers

The article sounds doubtful: the smart guys gathered and invented something, but, as I understand (having jumped paragraphs to save time), they only patented their ideas, neither evaluating, nor testing any of them. This may lead to making

It even doesn't take a conspiracy to start a propaganda. Successful companies support PR, advertizing and, for example, style magazines, which improves their business, and other businesses see that and copy that. The argument, that politici

I'm wondering what kind of utility function is needed to make such a strange MU function... As far as dents on the car are concerned, let me write what conventional microeconomy says. Here is the function to estimate the choices. U = sum(F(

The example in the article is flawed. I find it easy to care of big problems rather than perfecting a single small one. I wear clean clothes every day, but find it hard to care of a single small spot or a few grease or dust on my trouses or

IMO, it is fair that the book was ignored. The guy completely ignores the time and risk factors, namely being short-term-payoff-oriented and long-term-payoff-oriented. This is a subject of microeconomics (not 101, of course - it's a lot of

Nice to hear of a work on a smart AI. I've had the same ideas, that the situation with AI or any scientific tools in the gaming mainstream is unsatisfactory. I had to deal a lot with AI air traffic control in MSFS2004 and it was noteable th
