Can you do rubber duck learning with any topic? I always wanted to learn Fourier transformations and related topics, but I completely forgot all high school and uni math, so I have to start from scratch and it seems like a huge commitement.

Can you expand on your second paragraph? I am at the stage where I start to ask the same questions and it would be educational for me to learn how others do it.

I am not from USA and the idea that a country limits the amount of doctors it produces sounds ridiculous to me.

Maybe one factor is that among all Activision-Blizzard subsidiaries Blizzard makes the least amount of money, around 1/5 according to the Q1 profits. Both Activision Publishing and King make far more money by expanding into the most lu

As far as I know about chess, there are no men-only tournaments in chess. Instead everyone, both men and women, can compete in the "usual" tournaments. But because there are so few female chess players around, to encourage girls a

On a related note, was watching Olympics yesterday. It was a shooting day, and I was kind of surprised that men and women competed separately. I understand separation in physically demanding sports like weightlifting, but pistol and rifle s

Isn't it what WSB is all about? Pick a stock, bet on it, and when you lose you post your loss porn to the subreddit? I assume people new to WSB will take this seriously, and it does pose a threat to the sub's health, but older mem

On the one hand I understand why YouTube does it. On the other hand, as a Russian citizen, I shudder to think what will happen if russian government asks YouTube the same thing in regards to our election results. Turns out, instead of playi

Does that mean small creators can punish those megacorps who routinely use their work without permission? Oh who am I kidding.

Is Boeing bleeding on 787 because of how groundbreaking the new plane is and all the baby problems that follow? Or because of mismanagement?

Well, they drove Bombardier CSeries (a small barely competing program with some potential) into the hands of Airbus (a huge threat with production and logistics capabilities) for free. In the end USA won (they got production of new aircraft

Can an airline really refuse an aircraft without wasting some significant amount of money? I assume the airline or leasing company start paying from the moment they place an order all the way through construction, finished by a final paymen

Isn't it because right now research is basically a zero sum game? A government sets a budget for research, so the more and the better papers the other lab publishes, the more funding they get and less funding YOUR lab gets.

It is an interesting (but probably very subjective) observation that the majority of companies with a rare or esoteric stacks hire only experienced devs with the stack and refuse to train them themselves. Maybe it is because they are smalle

I would imagine that without skin splices it weights less, has less drag in flight and generally one less thing to worry about for mechanics.

From the top of my head, Boeing 787 fuselage sections are formed as a single tube (more advanced, more expensive) while a350 sections are formed from 4 separate parts (older, cheaper technology, easier to repair though). 787 Cockpit is made

Is it really true that you can buy a Boeing instantly? I have read that both manufacturers have order queues for years ahead, but I can be mistaken.

Which is too bad since arguably 787 is a more advanced aircraft, while A350 is more conservative. Too bad Boeing management is bent on screwing Boeing engineers and their achievements.

I am only familiar with Electron (due to its hype), what is native webview, is it like a browser? If yes why is it better? Asking as someone who has never developed any desktop apps.

There was actually a study about an impact a news aggregator has on news consumption. It turns out an impact is noticable but small: around 10-20% for different metrics: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/wor

It's a continuation of an ongoing trend nowadays to elevate to a government level issues that should be solved in the family. Instead french government should spend its efforts on actual society problems that affect every child, like f

Campaign cost to run for Congress has been skyrocketing for years. And the cost of living in DC is very high, especially for such public figures who are expected to host all kinds of gatherings. It is a wonder that between all these fundrai

I have recently looked at surveys in my country and mobile developers are one of the most paid programmers out there, especially the ones experienced with Swift. What does cause the low pay in your country? Logically the sector is ever expa

Google does not need to drop Quora from its search results, Quora itself is already on the way to irrelevancy. It used to be a place for thought provoking questions and answers, nowadays it just contains a copy pasted text from the first go

There is a very deep soviet science-fiction novel by brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky: Roadside Picnic. It is relatively unknown in western world, which is very sad since in Russia it is considered one of the pinnacles of Soviet-Russian

It also depends on whether the family lives in a city or rural area. In a village kids can do and go wherever they please, and bikes only allow them to go even further. In fact, they are expected to move a lot, since they are a cheap way to

I wonder, why the Reddit's owner Conde Nast does not step in into this mess. These advertising agencies completely sidestep Reddit's official ad channels, thereby robbing the company of profit. Logically Conde Nast would be pretty
