My prediction is that Facebook is going to resort to "this content is banned in your country" route. Only way to access this would be through VPN... if everybody in the country uses VPN, they govt would probably start copying the

If I had my way, I'd have each applicant stripped, x-rayed, confined to an acoustically isolated faraday cage, and sit down for an examination generated and marked by an AI system. I've seen too many enabled people trying to game

Well, you could make it such that in event of a fire, the external cage would drop down low enough to facilitate evacuation into a designated fenced up area.

We don't reason. We adapt. Even if a protagonist was dumped into an crazy isekai world where science and math doesn't apply, he would still do ok.

No wonder Singapore is like that too. 50+ years after independence from the British is not enough to change culture.

For material science, replication is an issue because of differences in machines etc. Very little standardization. It's like back in those days where HP/SGI/IBM had their own version of 'C' compilers and it was a ni

no they are not caned. instead they are made to put on the high visibility vests with the words 'Corrective Work Order' and made to pick rubbish. But they are a rare occurrence. Usually only a composition fine.

You know, I have nothing against China building things from scratch on their own. I'm sure there are engineers in China who disdain all these espionage efforts and want to do their own original works, but are forced to "make use&q

I wonder how much of their hacking efforts have yielded information that is 'salted'. Misinformation that will set them back years.

the solution? buy over a plot of land 1km x 1km and build a building 1km high. That should be enough space to cover everything.

I used Ada (GNAT) about 15 years ago. One of the things that struck me was the accuracy of the compiler error messages and the sophistication of the debugger, when compared to C/C++ in Visual Studio / GCC

The issue with Ariane V was the lack of integrated testing. If they had coupled the testing of the software with increased acceleration levels generated by a simulated Ariane V instead of an Ariane IV, they would have caught the issue. But
