That's the same argument as weapon developers use, and weapon development contributed much more to fundamental physics than particle accelerators. The majority of funds after the WWII flowed to physics thanks to the nuclear arms race.

IE had 95% market share at some point, Chrome is nowhere close, thanks primarily to Apple with its Safari browser. But the trend is worrying, with more and more sites working only in Chrome (or another Chromium derived browser), and many so

Lol, snowflakes, coffee doesn't taste the same ... try living in poverty, in war, like hundreds of millions of people live every day of their life.

But you can download an .EXE file from anywhere and run it on your Windows computer (don't try that at home!). No any Store required. Hell, you can even write a program yourself and run it, completely free, imagine that!

It's the other way around. With stocks, you can take loans and trade on margin. If something happens, like very large gap down in the morning, and they can't unwind your position quickly, you could end up in debt. It's a very

Maybe it's because everyone talks/chats every day with "virtual assistants" at banks and every other organization, and never ever finds them useful. Their main purpose is to frustrate you enough so you give up trying to

I see, that's probably more of an issue in medical sciences than in fundamental physics where I'm coming from. My experience with "top-secret" research is that it's usually a c r a p.

How is it hemorrhaging, if it's scientific research that usually gets published in public journals? Or are we talking about top-secret atomic research?

I retired at 51. It became very difficult in the later years, primarily because of declining memory capacity. In software, you need to learn new things all the time, about new technology, as well as information about your local projects, wh

I frequent bars and frankly don't see it in practice ... if a girl wants only top 10% of guys, there is 90% chance she will go home alone. She didn't dress up and spent money for that sad outcome. So most men who approach women, g

Isn't there a small time window during which your site is unaccessible due to DNS propagation time?

just curious, why people rely on VMs and dockers so much these days? Is that because process isolation within the OS has failed + installation and DLL hell issues have not been solved after 50 years of OS design?

I am old. Computer hardware advanced 1000 times since 30 years ago. But computer software degraded at the same rate. We started with Pascal and C, and ended with PHP and JavaScript ... ughh.

General artificial intelligence is nowhere on the horizon, but in it's lesser form - deep learning - it is already happening and already hurting a lot of people. The problem is that its development is concentrated at the hands of a han

"Chinese made" is still a meme. But now there is nothing made anywhere except of China, so it's kinda moot point.
