UK half-assed the lockdown response since March. So when a country lose control, their hands get forced. This leads to even worse outcomes. Witness consequences in US too. It's a leadership problem, and hard to fix for regular Joe.

It's also very backward in practice. National governments love demands on municipal and local level, but the funds don't follow. So alot of it ends up in nice talks, but bad implementations where local level try to push back at la

Go to the facts. Journalists check facts all the time. Most reporting is always inaccurate to insiders, so don't blindly trust what is said by anyone.

USSR lost to itself and its mortal corruption culminating in Chernobyl. US lost the moral war in VN, but learned to play to its strengths after that, to later outplay USSR as a whole.

America was about getting to own land, for refugee serfs that had no opportunity to land and education.

They are without empathy, remorse and able to manipulate people duplicating their behaviours and choices. This is both normal and extremist. People are still vulnerable to it today.

Well, then you also know he just didn't see any good implementations of generics, yet. Let's hope this gets good!

I'm imagining foreign people in foreign countries, burning Western flags and burning hanging dolls. Sometimes for good reasons, and other times not for rational reasons.

Social media and online forums feed on hyperbole and outrage. It's a tragedy newsmedia started reporting on it. The problem is not what is being reported, but how opinions are selected and presented.

Some simple regressions, which is also ML, may be possible to understand completely by human beings. You can even calculate their results manually. This doesn't mean their models are always a good fit. Or that the world never changes,

While I think most people should probably leave a toxic environment, it fixes nothing. If boss is bad, it's the best advice though! You must give energy to what works for you, then shelter is possible in any environment.

The narratives and justifications in toxic environments keep people there. They won't show the stayers squat. It may not even be all untrue, just twisted, forgetting all the good parts and dehumanizing, which is the objective. Those

With the right tooling and libraries, C++ could be both powerful and easy. Of course it means marrying a platform usually, of which there are many..

In a way promoting non-convoluted code. It's a property of the language which is like a side effect. Kind of reminds me of Ruby except Ruby was too dynamic to achieve it. C# is very readable too.

Having genetics as a good option is great. Using interface{} works too, but is a kludge if you have to do it alot. You lose performance to reflection and gain runtime errors that are hard to handle. It's not the best part of Go, far fr

Some people just don't want genetics. Maybe never seen the use. Some just want to avoid C++ templates and all those warts. I think the consensus is that Go community want it done right, or not at all.

There is a disturbing trend of news media. It's how they have to turn a profit, and starting to quote social media. That is not reporting, and news should be balanced, not just opinions and rage. However, in front of Tea Party, Trumpis

Nobody has those levers. They're in-built to Nature. As we collectively continue down this path, there are irreversible lock-ins that just accellerate Climate Instability. If we lose this stability that bio-diversity provides us, we ha

The full power of social media may be too powerful, both to the individual, and also possible threat-models to society. The problem is that anonymous posting also have problems of lack of accountability. So we need to watch out for how to b

You chose to listen to the wrong advice then. Our advisors stated "at least 2 years" at middle of March 2020. Their projections for vaccine was too pessimistic. But that's a bonus, and we still see that vaccine logistics is a
