Do you spend almost all of your day in front of a computer? One more question, do you practice any sport regularly?

Did you ever study for a Ph.D? From your example it appears you did not. There are also plenty of research lines to get a degree in climatology that does not involve studying this type of stuff and which are not exactly a political issue, a

That's true for gadgets and some other industries, engineering of some things that makes the world go on, like container ships and cars are another matter in which the West has long ceased to be the sole leader, even in design. Aerospace an

I believe you're overreacting, this has nothing to do with social mores or whatever, it would be the same as saying that close to 95% of these founders are straight and concluding that non-straight people cannot open a new business, this is

It's not, but a huge pressurized dome would be pretty much expensive, I do not think a colony on Mars would be able to produce more than subsistence level for the pioneers.

You're probably right, I am not a physicist, but this is the only when you consider rigid bodies right?

No, weight is just mass plus some sort of acceleration, if there's something to substitute gravity everything would be well, the main problem is with body fluids, we evolved to deal with earth surface level of gravity, in the interplanetary

I do not understand why not a lunar base first. It's closer to us, will lead to much more complicated problems to solve that we can get on Mars> - dealing with plants in greenhouses with the much reduced gravity of the Moon compared to

You know that Mars atmosphere don't capture oxygen right? [1] No way to grow food there unless you export a whole lot of greenhouses and set up an artificial biosphere, but without the conditions that we take for granted on earth. This is a

The gravitational field in the low earth orbit is quite large compared to what you would encounter in outer space. The ISS is at a distance less than 5% the distance between us and the moon.

Laziness is a really good one for me. But I'm not a developer, I'm actually a mathematician/statistician now working for a bank, my code is generally a couple of functions, almost none of them too long, that I did some time and glued togeth

Fair point, but what I was trying to say, and did not said because I only wrote a single small paragraph, is that I fear a nationalistic bill passing in American congress that basically only allows american companies/scientific projects usi

For now at least, I wish SpaceX success. I also wish some nationalist scumbag in US Congress do not try to control this industry with some type of weapon regulation.

I actually thinks it's also pointless but sometimes I give a try to see why they think empiricism is more a evil than a good way to try to infer about the world, I edited the post to see what happens.

No need to name calling. I did not called you anything, lack of respect is not something that I encountered in many austrians but you're clearly one that does not respect people apparently, wish I am wrong. As I said in the above post I am

The question is, like the parent post said, for networking OpenBSD is actually better in my experience. This has little to do with user base, a startup that I was working on had a firewall cluster made of OpenBSD systems using CARP and pfsy

I said I have no interest of discussing anymore. I'm not here to build a thread pointing failures in first order logic in other comments, this was my opinion and it would be better if you just accept that I do not believe in the same things

Rothbard is not exactly an libertarian economist he is an Austrian school economist, not every libertarian is an Austrian school economist. Although I'm sympathetic to libertarianism I loathe the Austrian school because of their unscientifi

Oh man I feel your pain. My family had one of those here in Brazil and I hated when this happened. Anyway I do not live in the house I was raised anymore and now every modern apartment in Brazil only have a toilet, this is sad for me.

Execution and presentation matters, a lot, if Jobs left a lesson to the world that was it.

Generally you're already there on the command line, a few keystrokes away from the desired result. Also people are lazy.

All these devices are really cheap to produce, Apple and Samsung are selling them for US$ 500 to US$ 600 because of their high margins. There's nothing wrong with this situation but as has happened with the PCs, consumers will probably see

This it will be good to some, now it's mainly good for Google and Amazon who are trying to win money in this new market, either directly and indirectly, and consumers who can choose increasingly better products at lower prices. People were

IBM do invest in pure science with the expectation that something out there bring a totally new field or technology, Apple does not. The transistor was invented in one of those large R&D units, Bell Labs from AT&T, maybe it did not

I think you read differently from me, I did not saw anything you answered for in the above comment.

So what? Apparently from the various posts relating to discussions about Apple some people take the idea of others emulating Apple as a criminal offense, a type of offense in which for them is valid to point the fingers in the face of such

I was raised as an Orthodox Jew, but have gone off the derech (I no longer believes in Judaism and do not practice it anymore) an Orthodox is not supposed to use (and carry) money on the Shabbat, or even supposed to carry umbrellas, even in

If it was obvious I would not see people discussing about causes of the crisis, right? Besides the fact that debt and the inability to pay for it was the main cause I do not saw something close to agreement in this area. About Roosevelt, ok

Reading too much from Mises Institute I presume. I am really amazed anyone can take anything published there seriously, these guys always talk how mainstream economists always try to simplify human action in their models, such as when discu
