Here's Lt. Col. Dale Zelko (the pilot of the F-117 that was shot down) telling what happened on the night of March 27th, 1999. It includes actual recordings of radio conversations (turn up the volume): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmqLyn

"Old Soviet radars operate on longer wavelengths and interestingly enough are sometimes more effective at detecting stealth aircraft." The fuselage of the F-117 is covered with a top-secret radiation-absorbing paint. This paint is designe

Is this news? Didn't Ariel Rubinstein work on the nexus between bounded rationality and the complexity of computing Nash equilibria in the 1980s?

Gordon Moore was 39 years old when he co-founded Intel, for example. Script kiddies these days.... they think all it takes is knowing how to write code. Oh, the arrogance of youth...

With all due respect, but someone who: 1) lives in NYC and has no prospects of finding a job 2) thinks he may become a beggar when his savings are depleted in a couple of years is in NO position to be picky. It's not a matter of whether he

That does not surprise me, given that many Russians and Ukrainians moved to Israel after the fall of the USSR. But did those doctors start their lives in Israel as construction workers? Or did they start practicing Medicine right away?

So much passion for free markets, yet they only exist in theory... The U.S. is run by interest groups, unfortunately. Other countries are run by interest groups, too, but at least they have the decency not to claim their system is a capital

I don't know much about Portugal, but I know it's a small country. I didn't claim that Portugal can take on the huge surplus of doctors from Eastern Europe, but they seem to be taking steps in the right direction, just like they did on drug

I am implying that the death of a young person is more tragic than the dead of an old loser, yes. Ruslana had a life ahead of her. This guy is in his late 50s, he has already exceeded the life expectancy of a few decades ago. He made a care

I am not wishing anyone death. I am just saying that I don't care if he jumps off the Brooklyn Bridge. I didn't say I hoped he would jump... Ruslana Korshunova's death [1] was disturbing. If this guy committed suicide, it would not bother

After the collapse of the USSR, lots of medical doctors and other specialized workers found themselves without a job. Today in Western Europe you can find construction workers who were doctors in the Ukraine SSR or Moldova in the 1980s, The

Maybe the severance package he got was used to pay for the divorce lawyer ;-) My initial comment was facetious. Honestly, I can't feel sorry for a guy whose career was raping gullible college students. If he jumps off the Brooklyn Bridge, I

"Am I now expected to feel bad for the guy who, after making as much as $255,000 up until the age of 55, only has enough savings to live for 2 or 3 years?" Well, the article says he asked his wife for divorce. If the divorce did materiali

Dude, get this once and for all: I said we should forget labels for a while, didn't I? So, fuck the words "hacker" and "business people". BTW, I am not a nerdy, deluded, emotionally retarded teenager who is enchanted with PG's essays. I hav

Anyone can have ideas. Few can act on them. Inspiration is easy, while implementation is hard. I am not whining because I am into hardware, not software. Thankfully, in my field a couple of teenagers could never put a 20-year veteran out of

I am not being manipulated, and you didn't get the point I was trying to make. My mistake for not wording my thoughts precisely enough.... OK, let's forget the labels "hacker" and "business person" for a second. The point is that the ones w

Most people don't understand how technology works. They think it's the "leadership" (I hate that word) of the founder / CEO that, somewhat miraculously, pushes technology forward. I do not admire nor glorify Zuckerberg. I don't understand w
