This is just bullshit. A few decades ago psychiatrists were deducing personal traits from shape of skull. This imaginary is kind of similar. There are 100 000 000 000 neurons in brain, we can not even count number of connections. We are ver

So EU is abolishing agricultural subsidies? EU would set import tax on stuff imported from Russia.

For start Ukraine treaty does not handle subsidies. So France and other countries would be able to 'dump' their subsidized agricaltural product on Ukranien market. Ukraine farmers do not get subsidy, they have higher prices and wo

I wonder if somebody actually read EU treaty (reason for all this protests). Signing it would pretty much kill industry and criple agriculture at Ukraine.

In less developed parts you do. Most people here have gun, since it takes about 1 hour for police to show up. Local hospital sucks (once they forget scalpel inside patient) so most people pay bribes to get better hospital. And there is scho

You wrote that issue is stigmatization. But by creating separate group we make stigmatization worse. This field already has lowest possible entry bar. IT sucks and not all people want to work here. Get over it.

I think they have lot of dolars from oil, so perhaps money are not that important. Perhaps they are just show strenght. Perhaps they do it just to piss off US. Still, enriching uranium for civil use is they right.

Could we please drop this stuff from HN? Iran is enriching uraniun because they have right to do so. They ratified Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which allows civil use of uraniun.

I wish futurist would just drop speech recognition as holly grail. Speech has lot of flaws, is horribly unprecise and non private. I think neural interface has better future.

As far as I know NKVD did not massacred Jews. A few dozens arrests and closed elite universities does not really compare to tragedies of other nations (hint: I am Polish). Anti-zionism is not antisemitism.

Stalin killed millions, mostly Russians. For example huge part of army officers were executed just before German invasion. He hated everyone, Jews were not exception.

Please read something about Russian history. Most early socialists leaders were Jews. Some prominent anti-socialism authors are bordering antisemitism (Solzhenitsyn). Places at universities were not 'for everyone'. One needed poli

It is bit more complex. Socialism discriminated 'intellectuals' in favor of 'proletariat'. For example son of doctor had lower chances compared to son of factory worker. Jews were perceived as intellectuals. Similar disc

Configuration is kind of joke. 16GB RAM and zero free slots on high end desktop? My PC had the same price three years ago, but it has 5GHz CPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB on SSDs and 5 TB on spin HDDs.
