It's easily provable that any matter rotating other way gets expelled or thrown to center (Sun). So majority wins.

I agree with you in general, although my case was the other way around. My company was 10k+ people. But my client was probably the most technically advanced company at that time, with famously hard interviews for their own employees. My emp

I wonder if that's only about direct current. The higher frequency is AC, the more it conducts on sides of the wire (hence insulated strands). So I wouldn't be surprised by their discovery if we talked about very high frequency AC

Just a nitpick about consultancy shops -- I've had a chance of working in one in eastern europe and noticed that it's approach to quality was way better than client's. It also helped that client paid by hours, so consultancy

Gun is a good thing, but way more important is organization. I mean organization like "when order came everyone stands up and fights no slackers". Even 10 organized people with no weapons are _way_ more dangerous than one armed pe

Same as Python (setup.py). It's even worse in Go, as they encourage to just link github repos at the currently latest version. Only Java, .Net and R just download files, at a declared (reproducible) version.

How you lawyer is going to prove the data is not deleted? And what damages are you going to claim in court. Lawyers are not cheap, no lawyer will work on a case less that even $1k. My only hope is donating to privacy fighting organizations

Similarly I had once loved the schemaless datastorages. They are so much simpler! Until I worked quite a bit with them and realized that there's always schema in the data, otherwise it's just random noise. The question is who main

Yes and no: nowadays third-parties can steer the people demands themselves. It became much easier with internet and "web brigades" (recently started utilizing AI as well). So on one side yes, people demanded it. But on the other s

For years I've been taught that US political system is based on checks and balances. Now I see that just like in any other country it was based on morals of people: voters, elected, and appointed.

A lot of early memories are induced, e.g. parents told you a story, and your brain "fills it up", so you think it's your own memory, but it's actually more of imagination. Or you imagined where the crib were, and parents

You basically say that everyone is biased, take the middle. But I've seen with my own eyes living in dictatorial countries, that there are wild differences in how much bias there are. If one source lies 5% of the facts and an opposing

I wonder if I supply a random input to a fine-tuned model that can only generate what I wanted initially. I.e. the model named "starry-night-van-gough-with-bunny" can generate only one image.

Well, big data for me was always clear -- when data sizes are too large to use regular tools (ls, du, wc, vi, pandas). I.e. when pretty much every tool or script I used before doesn't work anymore, and need a special tool (gsutil, bq,

Just to clarify, "competent" is a long stretch. It's more like "how are you" -- once you can just _read_ that phrase you're passed. There are couple more questions, but civics are much harder than English (e.g.
