The last few years have disproven this idea that we need to stop with debt spending. We just conducted a beautiful experiment: since 2020 the USA has had more deficit spending, more economic growth, and less inflation, than the EU, which ha

"And who is, in the end, the parent usually taking children to school and picking them up, and dashing over to pick them up if they get sick or injured?" While this is true, this has done more to hurt women than the RTO policy. I

To be a currency, you need inflation. Otherwise you have an asset. We can see this from European history: before 1492 it was common to hoard gold as if it was gems, rubies, sapphires. It had limited use as a currency, and only at the highes

I worry that these scientists are focused on the 21st Century simply because many people will only care about this if it happens during our lifetimes. But if we care about our great-grandchildren, we should also be worried about the 22nd Ce

This applies to startups. I give good advice to the CEO. The CEO often ignores my advice, and so the startup is destroyed. The startup would have done better if we had followed my advice. I documented a case here: https://respect

Possibly off topic: "Look up the source" in 2024 is a symptom of a wider problem. Ruby was innovative in the 1990s but it is starting to fall behind the times. Those of us who are old enough to remember the euphoria that greeted t

Sadly, this article does not answer the question of why such a concentration of brilliance developed at Göttingen. If we wanted to build a new Göttingen, how would we do it? What factors allowed Göttingen to exist? For most of a century, Ge

I agree. VMs rely on old technologies, and are reliable in that way. By contrast, the move to Docker then necessitated additional technologies, such as Kubernetes, and Kubernetes brought an avalanche of new technologies to help manage Docke

“Writing helps you organize your thoughts more clearly” I actually rely on email for this. I'm grateful to work with a project manager who does not mind me writing her 20 emails a day, some of which she does not actually need to read.

If it's true that the company had no backups of their production database, then the engineer was nearly blameless. The CTO should have been fired. If there was no CTO, then the Board Of Directors should have asked the CEO why they felt

You misread what I wrote. Art can be independently invented by different groups of Homo sapiens, but the ability to create art probably arose at a particular point in our evolution.

The distance between the known examples of early art also further pushes back the date when humans became capable of art. Unless you believe that people from Indonesia painted this art 51,000 years ago and then migrated to Europe, and thus

"according to evolutionary theory" Promoter genes are also part of evolutionary theory. You seem to think evolutionary theory came to an end in 1882. But a lot has happened since then.

Various illnesses are caused by promoter genes. These are genes that serve no purpose but they specialize in promoting themselves, so they spread through a population even though they serve no evolutionary fitness goal (often they bring ill
