   @TeMPOraL Yeah a "Great Leap Forward" kind of moving forward for humanity? Sounds good, works bad. Capitalism looks bad, but works good. I once also wanted a kind of world government but as I grew more knowledgable this Idea reall

   This system is the only one unbiased estimator / decision maker humans ever found. Though it has quite high variance, in the long-term its results are just astounding

   I would rather like a carbon market where every person gets the same amount of emissions per year and can then sell this towards manufacturers using fossil carbon. This gets the notion of "the air we breath belongs to all of us" w

    It saddens me that Enercon does not get a grip internationally and just relies on EMEA. Their products are of extreme high quality and they are almost completely vertically integrated. It seems our german subsidiaries have poisoned their co

    Well but that would stand in conflict with the greenhouse-effect, or does the C02 go away in winters?

    Are you drilling for water in Illinois? I saw a lot of these round artificial rain plants when I once travelled the midwestern states. For me it was always counter-intuitive that you have to do this in an area that is considered the bread-b

    I agree, without holding their people as slave workers they will not be able to compensate the lack of efficiency in resource allocation in the long run. People are accepting this right now because there is so much progress but if that prog

    This is what always happens with government spending. When this is not the case the system only is in an unstable state and will eventually collapse into corruption.

    Non-native speaker here, is the usage of "than" in "Your browser than uses DNS, a decentralized naming system, ..." actually correct? I happen to see this a lot and I am not sure if this is a spelling mistake when people

    This is absolutely against my experience. When I visited the US last year I was surprised by how clean and well maintained public toilets were. I am not used to this, as in Germany public toilets (if they even exist) are totally disgusting.

    Apple Watch keeps me on iPhone big time but attraction to alternatives increases. IMesseage is essentially dead in Germany, the music app is a usability mess and apple maps unusable... I dont even want to start on siri, the appstore-app or

    I would assume good debug-tooling should make spotting such cycles quite easy, why is this even considered a problem?

    I always wonder how one would guarantee stability / convergence when learning in the field. Sounds great, but how can this be pulled off in a reliable way? Just dragging down the learning rate does not suffice in my oppinion, as for ef
