Unless we find out that for some reason all life develops at more or less the same rate from the beginning of the universe. In which case our future could be very crowded. That, or the window of technological development that we can detect

The internet makes a lot of the concepts behind copyright fundamentally ridiculous. We honestly need to rewrite many of the rules from the ground up to take into account modern technology and what would best benefit society given the access

Only a very small segment of society can work at a university. Even a lot of PhDs are getting forced into the private sector due to the lack of available space on faculties. Anyway, just because I'm not doing basic research doesn'

When I say "across versions" I'm also including AngularJS in there (the differences between them are still a major point of confusion for a lot of people). Also, while 4 doesn't introduce any breaking changes I know of,

Yeah, and to be honest while it's always important to be able to understand the math behind what you're doing, you can easily get started with just understanding what these algorithms do and why, and then work to expand your knowl

I've been going through this course: https://www.commonlounge.com/community/9dcdd386cc28446695305... It's a bit more cursory and mostly just a collection of articles/papers, but it has the benefit of not

I've been playing around with the Riemann zeta function recently just as a math refresher, and I've got a few layman's theories floating around I might like to bounce off someone who actually knows something someday. Particul

The question is not whether the US should be subject to oversight, the question is "does WikiLeaks intend to push a deliberate agenda with their disproportionate targeting of the US?" You would be naive to take for granted that Wi
