IMHO, 80% of the problems with public schools would go away if they were not funded from property taxes, but paid by the state out of its general budget. If the rich parents knew their kids would get the same education as poor kids, you be

Well thanks for this comment, because it makes a good point. Holding teachers accountable? Sure. Holding parents accountable?? A lot of parents would like to do more, but these days, if you want to afford a house which has a bedroom for

Well, having no money isn't the same thing as not having a yacht, either, but the one can impose substantial constraints upon the feasibility of the other.

Yeah, well, how come schools which get more money do better than schools who don't? The U.S. spends more money per patient than almost any other country too. 3x what Canada spends. I guess you would be a big fan of a Canadian-style he

They also banked plenty of English gold too :-) That's what "neutrality" means; you are not neutral if you refuse to do business with one of the warring parties.

When is the last time Switzerland has been invaded? Or at war? And I am sure that Swiss men don't feel like peace is any threat to their manliness either.

I don't know about you guys, but I think my masculinity is strong enough to survive the lack of war. I'm just not feeling threatened, here.

Fascinating article...written not that long after it looked like men or anybody else could never live with war again. But, those fretting about the necessity of war need not have worried, as subsequent events proved. War between nuclear

Thanks for the view back into history. I was kinda under the impression that this side-hustle thing was new. Apparently its not only old, but was an essential part of the technological progress we've had since then.

When I read old articles like this, I start wondering what the story was behind all those companies mentioned. Stackworks Forth, Alan Ashley Assembler. You almost never hear of a company which is still around. Was it actually possible, ba

To your point about i/o bottlenecks....these days, there is an i/o bottleneck between main memory and the registers--and even between the registers and the ALUs. This changes the tradeoffs. And its why we use chips sporting data p

Damn good point. Sure, there’s no point in microcoding something if it is just doing the same steps as a hand-coded version could do. But that doesn’t mean we just, say, stop implementing floating point operations!! We just make the hard
