Who calls powerful men in commie countries oligarchs? They are Politburo members. Russia is a non-commie country for 30 years.

Someone got paid the big buck to develop that system. Priorites, you know.

Because it's more profitable to have a single person that works 80 hours and one desperate for a job than 2 that work 40 hours.

I’m intrigued, but it may be a while before I look at the book and spreadsheets. But there is definitely a point when education becomes a net loss. Current US education system might be an example. You can make a lot of conclusions from curr

This is rich. If Google refused to grow it would have become another Yahoo. Chrome was launched in 2008 and was barely usable. Do you think it could have remained anywhere near dominant in ads, search and lot more if it stayed at 20k people

Even the worst groups can admit mistakes one funeral at a time unless mistake is their raison d'être.

Sure, but US is was not facing modern anti-air in Iraq and Afghanistan regular Iraq forces were destroyed in 2003. On the other hand, a Reaper drone is perfect to bomb a wedding that’s not protected by AAA

Really? Was Dresden a military target? Most major German cities were reduced to rubble.

Their actions are compared against their promises. They don’t reply to such accusations with “yes, we feed on disinformation and suffering”, just this week their spokespeople went on TV and confirmed their commitment to putting people befor

I actually thought that “burritos” from the article was a reference to “jQuery is a monad” type articles.

Crazy idea: can new satellites be assembled from the parts of old ones: the parts are already in orbit, you can’t reuse chips, but you can reuse solar panels, wires, external walls, etc.

Didn’t Soviets test a compact thermonuclear bomb in 1953?

That machine can be in a Russian or Iranian nuclear physics or bioweapon lab and run very specific software. E.g. you can be looking for some project code names.

I’d suggest more math as a personal advise, but I have no power outside of relatives and friends. So I can only observe what’s happening on the national level. And that observation is that math is taught in a way that does little to promote

It does, but again, those skills are not valued that much in USA. I don’t like it, this is reality. Sports classes provide nowhere enough physical activity to stay in shape though. Ideally a country ruled by citizens require a high level

Also the number of people who need advanced math is so small in USA, so it’s more of a hobby than education. And people who need advanced math need more probability theory and statistics than calculus. In China, on the other hand… I might b

I’m pretty sure Russia is still way below (50%) the 1990 levels though.

Northwest Russia is habitable. Not that pleasant, but habitable.

That would be a funny experiment: unregulated the spectrum. I would guess that industry will try to self-regulate, but for private use beating up would be a primary method of stopping people from jamming all the frequencies in the neighborh

Nice to assume that would be a problem for Facebook.

AI replacing humans as workers will not result in basic income. It will result either eradication of non-ruling classes or humanity itself.

Sadly, the moral is that you can build a company without user support. You just need to grow fast past the stage where users can ignore you. Even if you don’t have a FB account you are in danger of imposter creating one for you. A very sma

Probably not intentionally, but there are likely a bunch of 0-day exploits we don’t know about.

Those are all general thoughts and results would be different for different problems. Some can be parallelized for millions of people, some can not be at all. Parallelization is as much about throughput as latency. Nine women can not gest

Resource allocation is another issue. But even if the other teams try to independently replicate results (imagine such luxury), that would be useful. The more people there are in the field the probability of challenging the status quo is h

Scientific research is not a high school problem where the clear algorithm is known. A lot of approaches need to tries before valid ones are found. And for cancer a single approach is most likely not enough.
