Yeah... nice thesis, just it is not right. The Romans won against Carthage, even though they had no navy (apart some Liburnian ships copied from the Illyrians), and had to build it by scratch. They actually won with no true experience. Cart

So much more tech / startups focused. Felt much more intimate, and that was a large part of the appeal. Now it is half politics and other reddit material. :( Interesting hacker type of stories usually don't make the frontpage an

Wut... This guy is from the 14th century, which is a relatively modern era, where gun powder was starting to being used. This is just a century before the start of the renaissance, and we are not talking about thousands of years ago.

I traveled from NYC to Albania and experienced this... and many people I know here got some type of cold recently. They all got this cold/flu that was pretty bad, but thankfully it was not covid. (associated with coughing, and upper co

No, owned by Geely, which owns Volvo as well. It is an attempt from Geely to gain foothold in the western markets without being associated as a chinese brand, but as a swedish one.

Polestar is Chinese owned brand(Geely), and their polestar cars are basically the Volvo xc40 ev version. (that's why their sedan is so tall/high ground clearance). They have yet to build a fully independent ev first platform.

I am an H1B to GC, and the above comment is correct! I am not sure why it is being downvoted. H. Clinton (when she was at state departmet) and Obama had a chance to make a sweeping change to the H1B program, and make it easier for smart pe

You are talking out of your arse… and so am I. Unless we have well researched data, it is just a opinion. My opinion and experience is definitely different than yours, and I have seen that objective c leads to more productive teams if they

A well jelled team, with senior engineers can be much more productive with Objective C. But for beginners, swift looks less intimidating due to its syntax familiarity. The language pitfalls become apparent as you dive into it. Perhaps that’

ADA is its spiritual successor, which is still being used in some industrial/military applications. (Turbopascal not counting, as it is the same as Pascal). I learned Pascal in High Scool, in 98, where it was taught as a 'learnin

This is normal for smaller countries. eg. Most 80s and 90s kids raised in the coastal/western part of Albania know Italian. The reason is simply TV. Albania had just one government channel during the communist times, and after comm

Yeah, Unless you are one of the unlucky ones... The fact it is that the virus will be around with us for a while, and everyone will probably get it at some point. Vaccination will help when dealing with it.

vaccines have been available to everyone who wanted it, for months... jobs also are available, so the economic side of the memorandum is moot. At this point, keeping the restrictions would be absurd. not all landlords are big evil corps...

The whole concept of a Dyson sphere is kinda idiotic. Any civilization that is capable to build one, it is probably able to work out fusion energy very efficiently. There is no point to go and harness energy around a star or a black hole,
