You are probably right as far as 'morality' goes... as far as the betterment of the Cuban people that are still living on the island then probably opening up trade is going to be more beneficial to them...

Communism failed everywhere... BUT most of those countries have started down the path to a more market driven economy primarily through external trade... its weird to have trade with USSR and China but not allow trade with Cuba at this time

Mathematics as far as it being a branch of logic was pretty much invented by the greeks as you say. And the mathematics mentioned in this article are definitely 'tenuous' at best. I clicked on the 'African Fractals' and

I am baffled by the cognitive dissonance here. This kind of single individual driving direction is LITERALLY the intended purpose of these high level roles.

I don't understand your concern. Fundamentally, if you have large enough consistent need for storage/VMs/Any non proprietary resource then AWS is not the lowest cost option by a long shot. This is not at all a controversial s

I would think this has to be a serious inflection point... As far learning how to think, strategize, competing with friends, etc go will remain. However for the extremely few say 100 really top level players, this has to in a way be dishear

Not sure why you are being downvoted, you argued your case well. I would say, really fundamentally python is an extremely 'opinionated' language driven by an extremely 'opinionated' BDFL... this isn't necessarily a

No. Full Stop. what is being said here is maybe you should minimize the number and scope of investors. your response is 'your' value is whatever your 'investors' think it is. The key point in this is businesses aren&#x27

You can but fundamentally, if you dont buy into the fundamental guiding principles that a framework is based on, you probably shouldn't use the framework. Its like saying lets use angular but not limit DOM manipulation in directives, b

I am not really exactly buying into the full premise of this article. While to a large degree the lack of exposure of this branch of japanese cuisine is based on bias... It also is clearly based on the fact that these are the least desirabl

I think this is only surprising because your giving a deeper meaning to 'individual' than is the logical minimum. I guess that's a pretty significant as far as philosophical viewpoints though...

This is what I am getting from the article but seems very short sighted... Working on development and R&D with the government is more likely to enable IRobot to be competitive in the real robotics industry that is finally springing up i

I also found the article to be too vague in explaining what from the headline appears to be the central point of the article. From what little was said seemed like activist investors had decided that they were better positioned as a cleanin

Yeah but that's why it would be interesting. Solving a rubics cube quickly is interesting from a human standpoint, for a purpose built machine not so much.... I mean its doubtful that the majority of the competitors wrote the software

once you can modify the cube you basically break the whole point of this excersize. I mean almost all the kids i knew who messed with these when i was a younging would pull the cube apart and then put it back together in the correct shape,

thing about prototype is it fundamentally changed how you dealt with javascript. jquery was just easy dom selection and manipulation, easy ajax, and easy events... you could drop it into any project and it didnt really proscribe anything el

I agree whole heartedly thats what i am getting at... jQuery succeeded not by trying to be everything but by trying to solve a real straightforward common issue that affects big projects and small projects, super senior developers and junio

I am amazed by how the article attempts to look forward to what the future will hold with JavaScript frameworks... and yet seems to be completely both dismiss or misunderstand (perhaps willfully) why previous frameworks have succeeded. jQue

No, Or to rephrase, No React has not won the frontend war in the way and scale that jQuery won the front end war. At one point something like over 50% of all new (at the time of its peak) web applications big and small included it? No. I me

No offense, but you really should have done some research before you plunked down the cash... its exactly what you say it it is a foundation computer science book. literally.

it is pretty interesting... I think there are many reasons but a large part is the religious aspect... pre approximately 500 AD Egyptian Culture was more or less wiped out during the spread of islam. I dont know how much pre common era egyp

OK, I think there are some unspsoken givens that I need to spell out to make my point clearer. Typically people resolve the issues that directly cause them pain pretty quickly if it is in their control. Further "control" requires

This is absolutely true. However I just generally dont see the point in 'fighting' superiors... its not that its impossible to fight the system and make things right, its just not a good investment of an individual contributors ti

This is my thinking also... it came to me over a long time, and typically has a lot to do with why I switch jobs. At a certain point i give up struggling against the 'WTF' and just start going along with the flow, then one day i l
