Yep, definitely click-bait to make it seem like a sweep that just happened. Recommending the following headline instead: "Google has fired 48 employees since 2016 due to sexual harassment".

The Sieve of Eratosthenes is one of my favorites, and surprisingly has yet to be mentioned. I imagine I would spend many days researching prime numbers if I hadn't read "The Mystery of the Aleph" in time. I'm keen to kee

The "good memory" referred to is the cpu cache. Search for "L1 cache", "L2 cache" online. Here's a starting point: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-L1-L2-and-L3-cache-of-a-mi...

I think you have to look at "Silicon Valley" as a kind-of short-hand for the FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) companies, along with Microsoft and Intel. It's more of a "state-of-mind" than an actual

Try "Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery". It goes year-by-year through each major scientific discovery up until the mid 1980s, when it was written. Highly enjoyable.

Well sure it is. Those dependencies you're talking about (the transistor, keyboards, screens, etc -- the things that modern computing depend on) are just the current, and I would say arbitrary , implementation of the concept of "

Do you happen to know if any of this mysterious researcher's papers might be on the arxiv? And have you looked into automated digitizing machines for your collection? The University of Tokyo seems to have a pretty good one: https:&#x2

It might be bad policy, but it's great marketing. Bezos is someone who could be easily despised by members of both parties in Washington, and making the name of the act a personal attack might help it gain votes. Still, I don't th

Werner Herzog's "Lo and Behold" is a gem of a documentary that details a bit of this. It is wide-ranging and sheds light on various impacts that the internet is having on our civilization.

I checked out some of your previous posts and see that you are really, earnestly struggling with your decision to get into programming. I feel for you, and I'll try to give you some advice with my "professional programmer"(TM

yeah, I'm curious if those other big companies will now move their repos off of GitHub because of this. I guess these two will be the ones to watch: https://github.com/google https://github.com/apple

We (in the US) live in a culture of white supremacy, where the state has a "monopoly on violence". So it makes sense that any non-white-male would have some kind of history, whether individually or as a member of a group, of viole

That's partly why Douglas Crockford wrote his JS book, JavaScript: The Good Parts, to try and eke out a subset of the language that was better than the whole. But "better" is always subjective, so I think we'll have to l

The title question is about courage, and I think that's what you're after. So I would say, yes, I do have the courage to abandon my high-paying job. Your description of what you'd like to do sounds like an adventure, and if y
