I know a lot of investors like Warren Buffet. I bet they work harder than you do. People usually believe investors are those scammers that advertise in Internet along rented Villas and Lamborghinis talking about how to live without working

I don't believe that. I have traveled the world and very few people I know know about Chomsky. I know a lot about Chomsky as someone who has studied parsers and natural languages a lot and I usually ask people I talk with if they know

It is a very simple reason: abstraction. The more abstract a software is, the less efficient. But it is also more flexible, easier to understand and modularise, and specially way cheaper and faster to develop. Of all of the above cheaper an

No. This was a strategic move.Strategy(specially when it works) looks superfluous but it is not. There are strategic fields like food or semiconductors in which you need to assert independence or you will be blackmailed. E.g Germany recentl

As a hardware maker company entrepreneur myself(not open source), I agree with what you say, BUT with open hardware they can copy you faster in China than what you can manufacture on Europe and the US. No way you can compete with Chinese gi

For me it is clear that they have given that much money expecting they can get back way more having access to EU bureaucracy. In the EU bureaucracy is huge and they spend billions on taxpayer money. It really doesn't matter if those bi

As a European I see this kind of accident as a non issue because we use roundabouts. It is only important in the back of the truck. The main bug is using so many square corners road junctions in the US. Those are super dangerous.

Mmmm, we believe papers are not enough to document code. We use a lot REPLs in Lisp and python for that. Most of the time, this means making things smaller and modularise those. It takes a lot of work and there is always an initial resistan
