The US system is set up to arrest everyone and keep them locked up indefinitely as slave labor (literally true - the 13th amendment allows for slavery in prisons). I'd say that you have to be pretty incompetent to still lose with that

I have to say I'm both fascinated and horrified by your wiki page. It's like reading about a modern Black Beard. How much of your alt-right support is shock value and how much is genuine?

Listening to people say that those regions are only there because of Russia is like listening to Serbs complain that Kosovo and Bosnia only exist because of the US.

I forget who, probably Hamming, said his most cited paper ever was just an intro to statistics for biologists. This is not a new thing and it's not a bad thing. Papers are meant to spread information. If a field isn't aware that a

Were asbestos manufacturers externalizing the cost of asbestos? Are car, plane and ship manufacturers externalizing the cost of CO2? Are cigarette manufacturers externalizing the cost of cigarette butts? The difference between your examples

The West has not been able to build any sort of infrastructure for a generation [1]. It's not that we can't build nuclear power plants on time and budget, it's that we can't build anything larger than a sports stadium pe

Driving cars is violence on pedestrian bodies. I don't want to debate antisocial car gangs out for blood, I want them locked up where they can't hurt anyone else with their murder machines.

Sounds good, we will just hide the fact that the genocide ever happened and arrest anyone who says it did for Anti-Ethopian-ness. As is the case in Turkey.

Have there been genocides before facebook? That should answer your question.

I remember one of the first times I tried installing Linux software in the wild. The bash script asked for your password, sent it to their server using curl then returned you the script with the password hard coded into it, run itself with

Gas is cheap because there isn't demand for it, energy generation has one of the most inelastic supply curves under a decade of any industry. If the UK was still producing steel at the level it was in 1960 it would require up to 10% of

The only reason why coal fired plants could be phased out is that the base load from industry is gone. For example the UK last month produced 515,000 tons of steel. In the 1890s it produced 420,000 tons per month. The title might as well be

Sage is everything and the kitchen sink. Numerical, analytical, integer, all accessible from a leaky python abstraction. Your python code will look a lot like calls to maxima, which will happen under the hood. You can think of it like bash,

He's right. The same way that writing was. We had perfectly good oral traditions before writing and they were good enough to get us to the bronze age. I'm a bit annoyed at Ted Nelson for not making that comparison.

Give Excel to an uncontacted tribe and see how well they go with it. That we assume reading, numeracy and fine motor skills which until 5 centuries ago were the preserve of less than 1% of the population in the West are not part of formal e

The first thing you do to see if a new processor has bugs is to port a forth interpreter for it. The first thing you do to see if a new processor is ready for prime time is to port a c compiler for it. The people who talk about rust replaci
