I live in Ecuador, so not a Coloumbia expert, but I have insight on this. In short, many latin countries do not have a very well developed legal system, so there probably just isn't any law on this. I don't think there is in EC at

Some questions: 1) Who do you think started this violence? Did Ukraine invade Russia or did Russia invade Ukraine? 2) Who do you pull for when one person attacks another? The bully or the victim? To me, these two questions and their answers

Former university lecturer here. In my experience, gen Z have ZERO understanding of history or geopolitics. I'm serious, they just don't know what happened before their lifetime and cannot hold a coherent conversation about histor

So you are saying that we can get another 3 decades of Moore's law by switching to GPUs made of silicon rather than CPUs made of silicon? Well fuck, problem solved then. I was completely unaware it was so easy.

Even if the algorithms were here to do that job, where will the hardware come from? I'm staring at almost a decade of commercial processor (i7) lineage right now and the jump has been from 4 to 6 cores with no change in clock speed (ma

No, there isn't more, the US would certainly detail it in the indictment if there was. This is obviously a political prosecution against a guy they just didn't like hanging out with guys they don't, and lending those guys a c

I was under he impression that NK already had a rather sophisticated cryptocurrency capability and was already using it to evade sanctions, as well as for criminal operations. I mean, anyone who can install software can send/receive cr

Not locking them in cages. The US locks up people at 10X the rate of every peer nation, literally. By my logic, this implies 90% should be free right now, via one mechanism or another.

100% agree. Prices where I live are up at least 20% from last year on basically everything. The official numbers are just not believable.

Maybe ditch the NFT part and do it with actual children and you might be on to something.

Does anyone here know how high interest rates need to be to finally see a military spending cut?

There really is a long established track record of the US government and CIA doing these exact things, especially in Latin America, and in my experience at least, countries are creatures of habit. Why should anyone believe they aren't

If there is a radar operator here, I want to know if it is at all realistic for an attack on an aircraft to result in it simply disappearing from the scope. Wouldn't the falling debris of the plane still show up for several minutes unt

Every person I have ever met who worked for the feds has had an attitude that govt. employees are THE BEST WHO EVER DID IT!!!!!! Maybe you didn't give them the vibe that you would play along with this farce? I have often asked such peo

Honestly, this looks like a shitload of work. The art is beyond me completely, I'd need capital to get that made by competent artists. They have articles from Rolling Stone, so I'm guessing I would need a LOT of capital to line th

Also n=1, but a buddy of mine from the east coast lived in LA for 7 years, told me the people there were the most selfish and fake bunch he had ever met. He said he never made a real friend in the entire time he was there, and that was a ma

Pointing to EC as "the" way to handle this is not my point. The fact is, there were many paths available to the US that could have helped keep that million people from dying. We proved that masks work if people use them, that is a

I agree with you its still heavily stacked, but I meant that at least there was some shot for her. If degrees got factored in up front, she probably won't even be interviewed vs that rich kid who had tutors and went to Stanford or wher

I'm curious if there is any actual advantage to this leetcode style of interview. It is nice that it helps people without degrees get a fair shake, but does it actually correlate with success in the job? I have always favored the assig

I get what you are saying, I just thought all of those things were either present or absent in a person way before going to university even, let alone getting a PhD. If you are not a self learner, I don't see how you can even excel in

Again, we are talking about an effect that has been showing a 1.1% increase year over year up to 2019. If we assume that 2019 was much like previous years, then the 7% rise reported from 2019 through the first six months of 2020 would resul

> A good phd fundamentally transforms who you are as a person. Huh? I've heard this a lot and I just don't see it. What is supposed to happen to you? I got one in math, published my 3 papers like they wanted, and that was it.

This is so different from my first job experience, I can't imagine a more night and day comparison. I literally got stuck at a desk and had no mentoring at all, team meetings were blind leading bling into ditch, and all work was 100% i
