Censorship is not the solution, totalitarian Governments come from censorship. They are never good. With free speech, it should come responsibility. You should be responsible for your speech, if it is false, and pay for it in a Court, but y

The ability to master complexity. A master will be able to understand the relationship between systems so he can reduce combinatorial possibilities and reduce complexity to a minimum. In other words, a master will not shoot herself in the f

There is no argument here. The fact is that you should never let electronic voting machines ever in the first place. I went crazy the first time I saw them in the US long time ago and said: "this is the end of democracy" You shoul

Complexity. Digital AA is very hard to design, just the mathematics involved are extremely difficult to grasp, much harder than analog. Aliasing shows up SPECIALLY in purely digital systems. Take a sample every half period of a periodic sig

I love the article. I did electronic music myself in the past, and this is very very good and detailed explanation. It motivates me to try it back. I have to find a little time to do something interesting now that I have the resources that

It is interesting because the same happened to me while trying the game. If something happens to almost everybody, why don't you change your game? When I design a complex system like a game or computer programs, once the system starts

For me learning Lisp is an essential requirement for becoming a professional programmer, even if you don't use it after that, you will "Lispify" everything you touch. It just changes the way you think. SBCL is a compiler, it

It is a very rational thought. People have been eating used filters for millions of years. In particular, just 60 years ago you could find small clams almost in any beach and we believe homo erectus ate those. But just less than 80 years ag

There is something I don't understand. A radiator is not necessary for a car to work, specially in a freezing place. A radiator is needed to refrigerate the engine. In a very cold place the engine is refrigerated just by natural conven

Everything has gotten subsidies in the past. Coal got it in Germany, Spain, Rusia,Poland, Norway and of course England. Places like current Bangladesh supported coal mines in England. Certainly oil got it later, but few places in Europe had

We have over 80 different COVID vaccines today if you look at the COVID vaccine tracker. Next year it will be at least 120. In Spain alone they have 3 different vaccines that are not even in phase 1, but will be next year. There will be at

Capitalists(financial elite,landowners entrepreneurs and the politicians they buy)love immigrant workers. The less they pay, the better for them. Don't like the misery salary? Look at the queue of people looking for the job willing to

This is a great thing because in places like in Spain the fee is not present, is is paid by taxes, and as a result, the Government controls it. So instead of serving the nation, radio and TV becomes the servant of local and presidential pow

It is simpler technology, just 1D. You can read it with a led or laser, a motor with a mirror, a filter, a photodetector and a cheap microcontroller that cost cents. The technology is so simple. A point of light moves and you get an output

We have two approaches for a programming language: 1. We design something "perfect" and "pure", that will never need to change. 2. We design something simple that works for something and let other people improve the lang

It is not far future and it is not dystopian. Anyone that have lived in China or India knows how much people those places have. There is already a tremendous pressure from the food those countries demand on the world. Chinese fishing fleet
