There are Unix-based MRI machines. When buying one, I would imagine the OS is rarely a consideration. There were reports of airports disallowing landings of incoming planes due to controllers being unable to provide separation. There are ca

The critical infrastructure that people actually cared about (ATC for example) had all the choice in the world. So did people designing bespoke POS systems. To rephrase the old IBM trope, "nobody got fired for choosing Windows".

So how's that different from Apple's security features in the kernel?

Except employees do in fact benefit from innovations and improvements, and most inventions and innovations of the past 100 years come from capitalist, not socialist, countries. To the contrary, soviet orgs paid set awards for "rationa

Is there a way to read what I wrote without getting that I'm not a fan of communism at all? There shouldn't be. I have enough family anecdotes of how bad it could be. Also I hope you meant to say "...except in your imaginary.

Of course, and then you have to remember that the ones calling the shots were not even Polish, and the situation was common for the whole Eastern Bloc. The Polish government was appointed from Moscow. Stalin went so far as to send one of hi

It's not obvious that the militarism wasn't primary to the theory. World revolution won't make itself.

Under Stalin starting an unsanctioned poetry club in college could send you straight to Gulag. Every aspect of social life had to be subordinate to the authorities. I'm surprised you're surprised.

The theory might or might not have worked if the leadership wasn't hell-bent on converting the entire world into their ideology by military force. Which it kind of had to do lest their citizens noticed they live in abject poverty compa

This is a myth. Bonobos are at times more than happy to bash each other's heads in, and chimps shag a lot.

They are pretty horrible to each other at times too. More or less illustrates the somewhat Hobbesian idea of continual reduction of violence since probably the last common ancestor to today.

If you really want to take some substance, you're still betting your life to get high. If you don't value your own life, why should I?

Yes. You have Einstein's "Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss!", and I don't think anyone of note ever said anything like that about any athlete. Yes, pro sports beget more pro sports, but that&#

You get no getting new insight, catharsis or inspiration from watching someone run. Like chewing gum, it exploits your desire to watch, but there's no substance. Then again, there's the problem of how thousands of kids drop out of

Centralized grids are cheaper, which is even more important in the times of scarcity. There's no "20 meters of horse poo on the streets" for nuclear. It was always the way to go. If Chernobyl didn't happen, KGB would hav
