You got a point but at least it's interesting. Definitely better than buying a new yacht or a bigger house.

Let’s hope that something really comes out of this. From previous Republican healthcare attempts I have my doubts but maybe they will do the right thing this time.

By the time Darwin published his findings the church didn’t have enough power to suppress him as they could do a few hundred years earlier.

It took them a long time to accept evolution for example. Eventually they will come around but they need time.

Yes it was a power play. My point is that a 10000 year organization will have a tendency to do so because otherwise progress will quickly make it obsolete. It needs to control progress so it has time to adapt.

That's what bothers me about the whole idea that if everybody beams a coder the world would be a better place. STEM is an important of education but there are plenty of other things that are as important. that coming from someone who h

It's true that the Church supported science but there are plenty of examples where it didn't like the results and tried to bury them.

Do you think it can last another 7000? I can't even imagine how the world will look then.

this will be difficult. Usually discoveries in one area will also have impact in other areas.

It’s an interesting idea but I don’t think it makes much sense. Society changes a lot during that time so what could such an institution be based on? Closest is probably religion but considering that most religions are based on the underst

I work in regulated industry and you really don’t want the level of scrutiny regulated processes have in other industries. Innovation would slow down to a crawl or pretty much stop. In a lot of industries you can make trade offs quality vs

I think the idea is that if the pilot dies then most likely passengers or others will die too. Someone needs to control the plane.

I wish we he had more adults instead of people fresh from college who think that best practices and things to avoid are obsolete and don’t apply to them :)

That’s what I find ironic about C#. In some ways I worry more about and do more manual memory management than I did in C++.

I use quite a bit of stevia. It has a weird taste first but you get used to it quickly.

This is really infuriating. There is a ton of sugar in almost everything. Now they advertise Coke that has an obscene amount of cane sugar instead of an obscene amount of corn syrup as a health benefit. There has been a lot of talk about a

Is there a warning when someone overrides that isolation? In C# you can also access private members through reflection and I have seen people use that a lot instead of bothering to understand why the original developer decided to make the v

I think C++ could get most GC usability benefits if there was a better/simpler syntax for shared_ptr and unique_ptr. I have written code with extensive shared_ptr usage and it was quite pleasant if you ignore the ugly syntax. On the ot

In general with a lot of authors I prefer hearing their analysis and their experiences and tend to not care much for their solutions. Like you I tend to disagree with thoughts about restrictions but the writing about history and what he exp

" the market does." Markets are a product of a lot of rules that favor one thing or the other. It's not a natural law that markets and the rules have to be exactly the way they are now.

"The one we can dispense with is encapsulation." To me this is the most important part. I like to have private or public, protected is not needed. I agree that code representation should be kept separate.

When you compare the US situation with other western countries your number one fear should be with US private insurances, private or not.

You get a lot of history and also the experiences of a pretty normal person. A lot of information about psychedelics comes from people who take a lot of drugs. I am generally not interested in taking substances so I could relate to this boo

“So basically China's stance is, we cannot change our laws so our bad trading practices must remain in place? ” Reminds me of a lot of corporations. “This doesn’t make sense but it’s policy”. Never mind that they wrote the policy thems

Agreed. He likes to talk tough but he doesn’t seem interested in doing the hard work of finding a solution.
