He's making a wise investment decision - if Trump wins he will probably gain a lot in favors. If Trump loses, he will lose a little bit of money and some goodwill of some people. I'm sure he can live with that. Cynical.

Looks like GitLab is the new GitHub - open, human and doing the right thing. Great!

As someone who recently got into programming FPGAs from decades of usual software development, it's not that bad. Takes a totally different mindset, but it's much more approachable than what it seems to be. Actually a couple of Yo

You could program any algorithm as a set of logic gates in hardware. Hardware can run completely in parallel so this allows insane performance gains for some tasks. FPGA are very close to ASIC (regular chips, like the CPU itself) in their p

Intel is also adding FPGAs[1] right next to their CPUs, which can possibly become a next big thing in HPC. [1] http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/184828-intel-unveils-new-...

There's no fall, Scala rose on TIOBE, not fell. His data is wrong or he's lying. Here's TIOBE for May 2012: https://www.scribd.com/document/94860678/TIOBE-Programming-C... .

It's a misinformation. Scala never fell on TIOBE. The whole premise of "fall" is this paragraph, and it's a lie: > The TIOBE index (www.tiobe.com) of software language popularity ranked Scala at #13 in 2012; now it’s

And that is the real reason behind all the surveillance we're witnessing.

People from Europe colonized America because it's a beautiful continent, with great climate, a ton of gold and so on. Even if they didn't know that, that's what they were hoping for. Elon on the other hand is trying to coloni

You misunderstood what I was saying. I was not criticizing Elon Musk for working on this, it's a lot of fun and I imagine he's having the time of his life. The discussion here is about the viability and importance of the goal of c

I wasn't the one who said he is going to terraform it.

by dsabanin 10y ago
I understand that. But if we as people can't even solve these simple problems of intercommunication in the system that we ourselves created, how are we going to be solving problems of terraforming which involve a lot more complex syste

Well, the title of the post is "making humans a multiplanetary species". Not "asking humans if they want to be multiplanetary species". I was speaking of "we" in that sense, "we as humans". But I get

by dsabanin 10y ago
Yeah, I don't argue it can't be done in thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of years. I'm just saying it's probably unwise to focus and spend time and money on this right now. We probably won't even make it to that

by dsabanin 10y ago
We can't solve simplest problems on Earth (like re-capturing CO2 for example), but believe we'll be able to terraform a planet to which we haven't even been able to send a human yet?

What are we going to do on Mars? Live in a plastic box? Send in a bunch of slaves to mine minerals in insufferable conditions? I don't get it.

I agree, the problem is in the heads of the people who blindly trust everything they are told. Why is it so outrageous to assume that chemtrails might be a covert experiment to manipulate climate (or has some other purpose)? I'm not sa

An international entity, with representation from all countries, under the guide of international law that is just. US as a world police is heavily biased to it's own interests, and not to the interests of peace and coexistence.

Until there are fair elections, with equal access to media for all candidates and equal material resources for all parties, we will never know what majority wants. Right now, state-sponsored polls can provide any result elite wants. Beside

And we all know what lenta.ru looks like now, after she and others left, it's a pro-Putin propaganda outlet now.

What about potential imprisonment for a retweet or a repost in a social network? You're trying to make this law sound okay and nothing new, but it's not. It's something from the era of Stalin and NKVD. Too bad that worse thin

Parent post is a pretty good example of propaganda that is being disseminated on full volume all over Russia for last 5 years. They got really good at shilling all over the internet with these kind of messages.
