The State is also using the private sector for building up its services and infrastructure, and therefore whatever increased costs the State has usually come from the private sector, which overprices its products/services when the cust

I don't know if it's mathematically sound, but increases in wages (especially at the bottom) and increase taxation at the top will certainly help alleviate the problem.

I'd never understand racism. Here is a true story: when studying in London, I met there another Greek in the same course and we became friends; in a parallel course of ours, there was this black dude from the Carribbean, to which we oc

I disagree with every point he made. Data structures shall be bound to functions. It increases modularity. That does not mean common code shall not be refactored and be standalone. Data types are instantiated to objects. When in Erlang a ti

Aren't those tiny places bad from a psychological point of view? wouldn't be incredibly stressful over multiple years?

What is so special about this? was the C64 supposed to be not powerful enough for SMB? The game 'Great Gianna Sisters', which exists for C64, is very similar to SMB.

It's a matter of economics, mostly: proving that a feature is mathematically correct costs a lot more than implementing the feature itself, and so mathematic proofs are not done except if the cost justifies it. And because of that the

Any organism/machine that its main operation is pattern matching and its primary constraint is to lessen change as much as possible (i.e. to minimize energy expenditure as much as possible) is about to be biased at one point.

I do not see anything in the problem description or in the analysis of the Haskell advantages that couldn't be handled by c++ or coded in c++ in a fairly similar manner to Haskell so as that to have similar advantages.

When buses are clumped like that, the leading bus shall not stop at the next bus stops until the distance between them becomes sufficient.

Could it be that we simply cannot observe all of the actual objects a galaxy contains, and thus we maybe do not need another theory or dark matter?

Exactly this. Any sort of decentralization will result in dumpster fires, because a significant portion of people are into doing bad/evil things for profit. No technology can solve that problem.

A decentralized web would not mean a safer web. Those two concepts are irrelevant to each other. In fact, a decentralized web would be more dangerous than the centralized web, from the perspective of bringing closer together people with the

Code readability and ease of modification are also part of a programming language's power. LISP scores lower on those than Python and so Python is more preferrable than LISP (assuming all other factors balance each other out - in reali

The distinction you describe between view and controller should be relevant nowadays in the exact same way as it was on the 1970s. For example, the logic of inserting text when insertion mode is active, removing the selected text when the d

By aether, do you mean an underlying medium that allows forces to be propagated? I guess that using that definition, there is an 'aether'. The difference with the rejected concept of aether is that this "aether" is defor

To me, articles like these are littered with logical fallacies. I truly wonder if the quoted scientists really meant what the article says. For example: "And if our measurements are random, there is no way for the photons to know ahead

While the Amiga was a very good 2d graphics machine, it really sucked hard in 3d. While the world was preparing for 3d, Commodore brought us ...CD32. If the Amiga had a good 3d polygon rasterizer chip in the beginning of the 90s, it may hav

NULL is certainly a mistake, but even more of a mistake is not allowing distinct states in variables. NULL is just another case of a state of a variable. Other states are 1, 15, 0xffffffff, etc. That mainstream languages don't handle t

I think part of Controller should be in the Model, because I often found business logic is highly coupled with the data. I've more often used the Model-View pattern, where the business logic was inside the Model. What I have decoupled

The article you posted does not say anything about fire (I searched for the word 'fire'). Even in that case though, what was the percentage of buildings burnt because of rent controls? if it was extremely low (as in less then 0.01
