With that much caffeine you'd be making a lot of pit stops. I did do it in 40 hours and some change, but with one speeding ticket in Utah, and by the time I got home I knew I ain't doing that on "google schedule" again.

No longer than a couple of years ago Durov was writing sweet fairy tales about Great Russia and how he's never going to leave because it is the greatest place on Earth. Only when his business (based on hosting pirated content and stole

Efficiency is another question, it may be more of a "it's the thought that counts".

To comment on the face mask thing, locals told me that they wear it not so much for their own protection as out of consideration so as not to infect other people if they sneeze.

Only if you count Napa as a suburb, too. Otherwise, SFBA's opinion of its restaurants is slightly exaggerated.

Technically, USSR still was worse; Even in the 80's people lived in barracks. In Moscow people were living in communal flats. US is still slightly better than that.

San Jose looks anything but urban. It's a big boring suburb, just like everything else between Gilroy and SF.

After some checking, apparently it is a thing. THere's a whole industry of people doing interviews from remote locations. It was quite funny to see when we complained to the recruiting agency how they had to call him back to "si

We had a "DBA" show up like that./ He didn't even seem too concerned that he looked nothing like the guy we interviewed over Skype.

As a matter of fact, you are now expanding on exactly the point I was making (or part of it anyway) -- in some places, of which Zimbabwe is an example, agricultural problems are caused by political issues. Normally it is a good place to gro

Not even to mention the cooperation between German and Soviet secret police, massive flow of supplies from USSR to Germany etc. etc. prior to the German attack.

Have you posted something about a novel historical research showing that neither lend-lease nor pre-lend-lease supplies of war materiel ever happened, it might have made for an interesting discussion. Vox, however, prints exactly what is to

When T-34's and Shermans met in Korea, it didn't go too well for T-34's. And some of the most decorated Soviet aces flew Airacobras. But the most important part is that without American alloys, fuels, machine tools, let alone

Well, I think that you are throwing strawmen by a barnful here, Monsanto, eugenics, whatnot, but other than a few inaccurate statements about food being bountiful and people not starving you are trying to avoid talking about what the real

Then you should present an example of USSR being lean and efficient in some meaningful way, I'd think.

Soviet Moon program ended in a big nothing because by the time it was started all the German designers (who made all those great engines) had went home, and without them USSR never managed to catch up to anything like F-1. Native designs te

By the time of the WWII it was just as bad; pretty much all of strategic supplies, explosives, fuel, etc. were coming from USA and UK. USSR supplied most of the manpower, but without the American military-industrial complex, Germans would h

I am just trying to figure out your angle on this, because I do not think Monsanto being the devil incarnate, or some scientists believing in eugenics 100 years ago has much bearing on whether we should use GMOs now to let people in areas w

Did Waymo kill anyone yet? Both Waymo and even Uber do not pretend that their systems are ready for public use and at least allegedly have people who are paid to take over (granted, in Uber's case it's done as shadily as anything

Seems pretty obvious that you have neither ever lived in USSR nor experienced the Soviet economics first-hand. Although I would like to see a sample of a single lean and mean organization in USSR...

Well, that's exactly the thing -- GMO by itself means pretty much nothing in regard to dangers or benefits. But the anti-GMO crowd isn't interested in them, they don't want GMOs to begin with. Aren't there any newer arti

Of course it is, when it happens. Ity's the prevalence of it happening that is disputable, given both the dearth of verifiable prosecutions and strong incentives for any sex worker to claim trafficking victim status.

Thnat's assuming that the replacement actually is safer, which in case of the Auto-Pilot is not the case now, and not necessarily the case ever. There is a reason Waymo isn't unleashing their stuff onto unsuspecting public.

Jurors are routinely forbidden from discussing the case they are trying, parties to a settlement can be barred from discussing it, etc., etc., so there are quite a bit more limitations on "free speech" than that.

People in the developing world do starve, actually. And if in some instances (i.e. Zimbabwe) reasons are mostly political, in many places arable land isn't exactly abundant, and climate isn't ideal for growing crops. Improving irr

For Russian, initial test wasn't terribly bad, but it would flag word order as wrong when it would make no difference in Russian (and really is a bit more natural). Some of the "correct" answers also obviously required more b
