The Soviet Union might've been poor, but it wasn't destitute. The issue with the Soviet system (and I believe socialism in general) is that individuals are discouraged from solving problems and offering those solutions to other pe

I had this one too. When I told them I already knew it and explained the reasoning I got a new problem instead.

We don't need (many) carbs either, yet it's the biggest part of our diet and has been for a long time. We still call it a nutrient.

I think society tolerates jerks because they feel that the jerk creates more value than they take away.

"You are allergic to xyz." is what you'll hear. And that's it. It doesn't actually fix the problem. They might prescribe a medication that helps in severe cases, but they generally don't give you advice like ot

It makes sense that controlling your breathing would help with asthma. After all, asthma is triggered by stressing your airways. If you can somehow do it less then that will help. I find it odd that this isn't taught to everyone who su

Or alternatively, meditation doesn't really do much and people are benefiting from the placebo effect.

I have severe doubts about something like this being able to heal asthma. It very likely helps against asthma attacks and when it's triggered, but asthma in general is an allergic reaction. Slow breathing can help control it by limitin

Politics is so highly partisan that stupidity sticks around, because changing it would look bad. It's kind of ironic.

I wish more parents bought their kids drawing tablets. Kids try out all kinds of things, but it's hard to try out something that you don't have the equipment for. Sure, drawing on paper is a possibility, but it's not quite th

I doubt that's true now, but it could've been something like that when UE4 released. The story went that he'd started work on it almost a decade before the release of the engine.

Mobile games in some sense have taken over gaming. They're not as flashy, but the amount of money some of them seem to generate is obscene. Just take a look at NCSoft's income and how mobile Lineage crushed all of their other offe

Mobile and C# are probably the biggest points. Another one is the community. Unity has a very large community which makes getting help easier.

It's an interesting idea. The other major language similar to Finnish is Estonian. Recently Estonia has been above Finland in PISA results, but I am still extremely skeptical of this idea. From a grammar standpoint I'm not sure th

Also, don't forget that the stolen credit card charge back incurs fees to the developer. So not only do they lose (potential) revenue, they actively lose money.

But people who set education policy or companies that lobby for education policy aren't in it to teach kids new things.

It's not though. You just type out the pronunciation and pick from a list if there are multiple. I'm actually surprised we don't have something like that for standard math input.

What you wrote is almost unreadable to me in the text itself. The only reason I got it is because I recognized the formula from sqrt(b^2 - 4ac). x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a) This, however is somewhat readable. Requiring me to use

The issue is that we know reddit moderators play politics. Subs are taken over or subverted. Having control over a sub can give you an opportunity to control what people see and read. If you then find out that a small group of moderators mo

From what I read, the guy that posted the list then got banned from plenty of those large subreddits. That probably fuelled the rage.

This brings up an interesting point: how come math input is so difficult on a computer? Even TeX seems like an awful solution for this.

In theory yes, but there are so many asterisks attached to building a house. You need to run through a gauntlet of bureaucracy to even get permission to build on your land. All of this immensely increases costs and becomes a tool for limiti
