This is a big mistake. Ukraine will be safe only when Russia is completely undone - there is no point to "end the war" with anything that could be called "Russia" still standing in any recognisable way.

But really, it was just about four-engine planes becoming too expensive to run. Two-engine planes won. 777 burns 30% less fuel per passenger and has almost the same cabin width. And top level became a flop because it's too narrow for a

(1) - what's horrible? renting out flats is a business. not paying the bills shouldn't be tolerated, ideally shouldn't be technically possible. (2) is negated very simply - have both old door key AND digital security key whic

Why isn't it automated yet? You delay your rent and your door key stops working. Also perhaps there should be a new field for startups (yes i'm aware of 'proptech' but there has to be more than that), that will collect d

I wonder what's even wrong about it. This is how funds normally operate: motivation for investors is upside, motivation for coders is to be able to code and get paid for it, motivation for people who run this circus, is fees. And yes i

Truth be told, these days one can't really hope to succeed in life doing any jobs that involve delivering stuff that goes through the screen. Time to move on.

Is this a major drag on India's economic development? If people just stuff their free cash into an entirely unproductive asset, thus effectively hiding it from economy.

Interceptors are battery powered and their energy budget and thus range suffers if they have to climb high. Detection is facilitated by radar, low altitude means flying under the radar (due to curvature of the Earth) - except radar network

It's not about "can reach", it's fairly easy to get them to fly even higher. It's about danger of interceptors vs danger of detection. Today's Ukrainian detection network (based on radars) is so dense there is

It's also a part of historical tradition, part of being a European. And, all meat production is cruelty. That's life.

So perhaps there is no problem there? People can live in places like that and build wealth by investing it stocks (it beats real estate anyway).

Sounds like, solution is "company towns" where everything is built by giant mega-corporation, completely greenfield, and nothing is sold - just rented out.

I understand housing construction, but why would a NIMBY be against metro construction? Being close to a metro station means real estate prices skyrocket and that's what NIMBYs are after.

The most striking thing about it, is that no matter how sorry do most of those people look, a good half of them represent Soviet 1% ers. And virtually all of them, top 20%. Vast majority of population wore homemade clothes, lived in village

It's very different, varies country by country. In UK everything is concentrated in London, in France most is concentrated in Paris but to a lower degree, there is no pronounced hyper-center of everything in Spain - Madrid is top #1 bu

Even out of adults, lots and lots of people don't look for jobs and happy not working. People have no moral obligation to work their asses off. I don't know how about Americans but i look at the people i know, they are 25-50 years

The floodgates open = the market will see that at least some of that can actually work and make money => they will pour funding => new approaches built on that funding will start working, too?

Bingo! CRISPR has an advantage of being relatively easy to describe to a layman, giving it a PR advantage.

There is a perception of inequality of growth, but it is in fact, a false perception. Truth is, it is globalisation. Inequality of income in the world has shrunk, even as inequality of income in almost all countries has increased, because t

Certainly not because if i connect through internet sharing from my iPhone which has an IP address in another country, the link opens. It's my ISP playing DNS tricks on me as it seems.

Let's face it - no career in the world had so little difference between "outwards romanticised appearance" and "actual everyday reality", as the profession of a coder. There was some, but it wasn't really bad 9

The weird line of thinking is that "we should try to nudge Chinese to make right decisions". Why? We want to survive or not? We should try to nudge them to make wrong decisions, and when they already do, we should do nothing about

So the good move is to build business in US, fleecing people there and turning it even more into dystopia, and live in EU and keep it the way it is - liveable - because people have self-restraint here and unlimited, reckless, net-negative g

Because, at least numerically, there are more people here who represent labor than capital. AI is a win for capital, loss for labor. That simple. This creates this surprising effect, approximately for the same reason more people support Pal

Manufacturing is not dwindling; manufacturing employment has been, but it was that way everywhere in the world. It's productivity. There's nothing that could be done about it.

Indeed, "identity tied to a particular occupation" is evil. You are not same thing as the way you manipulate the world into wiring money to you. And some people still ask kids "who do you want to become when you grow up?&quot
