Well Soviet Union tried to be self-sufficient, but the truth is such strategy loses to global free trade. Whether we want it or not, global trade is what keeps the world from WW3 for now, not the nuclear MAD.

But it does create an incentive to not keep data that a company doesn't really need. And that incentive already works with GDPR for PII. This measure add similar incentive for data breaches.

I would really want to see there Go with their goroutines, Kotlin with their coroutines, and good old Java with their CompletableFuture vs. virtual threads (and compare that with non-continuation ThreadPoolExecutor). IMO the discussion wit

Yes even better. Parent just compared insurance cost in CA vs FL, so I brought CA here. PS: California, not cyanoacrylate.

Yet at the same time federal government allowed home insurance to be non-actuarial (aka insolvent) for natural disasters like hurricanes. So essentially the rest of the country subsidise residents in disaster-prone areas. So Californians pa

I always wanted to, say, look at any theorem and see what axiomatic it requires. Or in other way, see the theorem tree like in the article under a different set of axioms. Of course, for some results there are proofs discovered only under o

There is, or rather are, fully recognized axiomatic foundations. You are free to choose one you like. Of the most popular ones is ZFC or ZF, but there are others (some lead to the same results some not). The main criteria for popularity is

Learn to fly hang gliders. Travel cheap countries. Make (more) kids. Woodworking is always here. As is local politics. But you said you're not up to building something.

Would be good to see witnesses description text after the case reveal. E.g. I kinda remember text says "black eyebrows" but the image clearly shows white eyebrows, would be cool to review.

How does it compare to java's ConcurrentHashMap? Looks like Go switched to exactly the same logic as in Java. But Java had it since 2004, did I miss something?

Imagine telling a person something that goes contrary to their conditioning, to their beliefs. They would tend to dismiss it completely and choose not to take it into account, even while knowing it's true.

We thought it too! But it really didn't work with hand brakes, dunno why. Maybe because with tag you always either full accelerate or full brake with turning at the same time. And if your opponent is on the right, you are left with onl

For cycle tourism I would have the coast brake AND a front wheel hand brake. Coast brake is much more resilient to elements (dirt/rain/oil), which is a major thing in bike tourism. And it's much more convenient to have one ha

I would want my light switches to be off when I click a special button at my bed, so when I want to bed I "turn off everything, and make sure garage is closed". Unfortunately two wires don't work there.
