I know what is the PCC's ideology. And it is socially more acceptable to dislike it than to boycott Facebook. I don't even know what is Zuckberg's ideology. And I am actually more confident about the Chinese knowing what they

I once read similar sentiment regarding the nazi efforts. I was curious, because I saw, probably like the U.S. did when they agreed to the exchange, that experimenting on humans like we did on animals could not possibly fail to give insight

About books, I'd say it is all or nothing. Small libraries books won't be of any use. But when I was in Lyon, the main library is an old institution that contains archives of 100 years of newspapers and scientific publications. I

Either Zuckberg has a geeky naive understanding of financial institutions to think this will go easily, or he is ready to use blackmail material. Libra is something I wish we fight to the death.

I think the challenge is more of a quest to find a way to compute it in less than O(n). The proof for that would just be a working algorithm. IIRC cellular automaton are Turing-complete? We have proven we can implement simulations of 3d rot

I have said that at every step in these regulations: even a law that can't easily be applied and that has loopholes is a progress as it gives judges, engineers, decisions makers and users a notion of what is wrong and what is right. Wa

That's what I assume as well. But maybe that's also what it feels like to become as relevant int he tech world as the US. There is no shortage of US-bashing in international tech discussions. As long as it stays good spirited, I d

I have always wondered what would happen if we could find a way to grow floating barges that would provide an environment for algae (and potentially other organisms) to grow in the oceanic deserts. There is a huge area that could work as a

"Shanghai 2010 was the biggest world's fair." That piques my interest. I was under the impression that in 2010, world fairs were kind of obsolete events, series of advertisement for products that are not especially innovative

To be fair to Google, Youtube really changed the way the MAFIAA reacted to online music and videos. They did that for culture, they failed for science.

Alexandra Elbakyan is probably one of the individuals who did the most for science in the recent years. And she is considered a criminal. We live in a crazy timeline.
