He is not in a position to negotiate any "security agreement". The United States is unable to provide any real security agreement to a government that is quite obviously not interested in any real, lasting peace, one that sought r

Depending on what they get from China in return, it might not be as absurd as you think. We're not talking direct participation here after all - China has more than enough people. Just some "lethal aid" if e.g. artillery stoc

Watch _the whole_ press conference, the entire 53 minutes, not the carefully selected morsels that CNN prepared for you in order to mislead. Zelensky failed to read the room, and 23 minutes or so into the conversation he started to self-imm

See the comment above about the intellectual faculties of people who think like you do. We had to hightail out of Afghanistan. What on earth makes you believe that we could win against a peer adversary, let alone do so without a draft or mi

I don't think there are any multi-trillion dollar deposits of any "minerals" there. If there were, Ukraine wouldn't be so poor. Even pre-war it was the poorest country in Europe per capita. One can argue that it was most

Yeah. Apple doesn't have to run faster than the bear. It only needs to run faster than the next guy. Which, as it turns out, is not that hard to do.

"Will" collide just now, Jaanus, or have they been in conflict since before the PATRIOT Act? This performative bullshit is getting tiresome.

Still I can't work up a tear for universities with large endowments when the top 10 universities sit pretty on 304 billion dollars out of 840 billion total, while charging insane and exponentially rising tuition fees.

No, I'm assuming they will seed invest into startups based on technologies they license.

It's also true. Source: one of my kids is in college right now.

How come the ratio was so much lower before? Could it be the (mostly useless) administrative positions?

You're assuming they won't make any money on licensing or investments. Which they most certainly will.

I wouldn't want those people's jobs tbh. You can't make every dollar, and they don't really have a life outside work. Fast forward to 60, you're retired and you haven't even lived yet. Sounds like a regrettable

As Laszlo Bock (head of HR at the time) quipped at TGIF when he announced Obamacare cuts to Google's healthcare coverage: "But hey, you get unlimited colonoscopies".

I have access to it. It is better, but not where most techies would care. It knows more, it writes better, it's more pleasant to talk to. I think they might have studied the traffic their hundreds of millions of users generate and real

I should have asked GPT before wasting everyone's time. GPT4.5 says that while lethal and transmissible pathogens can be built with adenoviruses, nearly all research with them is done on replication-deficient viruses, and does not impr

It's not even necessary for iDevices. I have successfully built, signed, and deployed simple apps without Xcode at all, using Bazel. I think CMake has support as well.

This isn't my field, so apologies if I'm off-base, but this seems to make viruses do what they couldn't do previously, and moreover, target the brain. Wouldn't that qualify as GoF research? And if so, after millions dead

+1. I agree. The government should not shut down a way to collect revenues.

Lots of people are hyperventilating about DirectFile, but: 1. IRS itself created DirectFile. 18F merely provided some unquantifiable "support" 2. DirectFile is not shut down.

No, it's they that are making this point. I merely point out that their claims of how much money this is going to generate are deliberately and wildly overstated.

Seems like it was mostly already dead. Cursory search shows its headcount went down from 250 in 2018 to 91 in 2024 (before Trump; all remote).
