True. Actually, one thing he does not get - but it's difficult to criticize him on this, because his questions are not wrong... they feel... foreign in a way, so one thing is that the changes he's calling for... they take time ! A

Behind the acidity of the text, it's not really agressive. He's adopting a radically critical posture that is a bit missing from the Occidental perspective. Radical critics do exist in the Occident. But they don't focus on th

Well if you think that civilization equals cities and farming, then go grab "the dawn of everything", the last book of David Graeber :) I was quite amazed to realize that the Golden Horde was way more sophisticated and powerful th

Please note that they're not the "earliest" sign of civilization. For once - as mentioned in the article, you have the Lascaux signs for example. But if you consider that these signs are not sufficiently complex to represent

Well at least it's thought-provoking in a way. I like the idea. And given that's it's not that hard to contest, it can lead to nice debates.

Absolutely not. Children and grandchildren are their own persons. The world is full of people who got rich through heritage and who live miserable lives - even when being materially fulfilled. I would add that this state of mind denotes a c

Well, once again, then it's Satya's mistake to have allowed the representative of an independant third party entity become the public face of a company he invested in. OpenAI might have wasted the 10B of Microsoft. But whose fault

Exactly my point.

by soufron 3y ago
Except it's not a "division" but an independent entity. And if that corporate structure does not suit Satya Nadella, I would say he's the one to blam for having invested 10B in the first place. Being angry at a decision

But what about the legal responsability of Microsoft and investors there? To explain, it's the board of the non-profit that ousted @sama . Microsoft is not a member of the non-profit. Microsoft is "only" a shareholder of its

Totally true. One can even argue they are forbidden to discuss this with MS. They would be mixing up the interests of the non-profit and its for-profit subsidiary. Legally, it’s only a change of control in the majority shareholder of a comp

Eudora was too resource heavy for some machines. That's where pegasus shined.

I used Pegasus on my 486sx25 on windows 3.11. It worked like a charm. I am glad it's still active.

Well, what do you make with people who go to church every week? That's a hell lot of people. And you certainly have your own set of beliefs that are also well beyond rationality. You would be better inspired to let them have their fun

I dont think the Odyssey is a pale reflection of the Iliad in terms of mythological weight. On the contrary, most of its stories relate to extremely tales and folklores - ie Polyphemus. Have fun : https://www.scientificamerican.c

Wow. That gives a lot of perspective on the lack of hindsight from silicon valley apologists who presented Tony and his company as models for everyone to follow. And of course on his book "delivering happiness".

I would like to point that duolingo is not only a great tool to learn languages - coupled with other stuff, but it's also a great tool to re-study languages you learnt and you forgot ! Then you already know the grammar, the pronunciati

Thank you for this comment. I was looking at everyone asking myself wtf they hope to achieve off. Duolingo works perfectly well if you spend the necessary time with it. I don't think it's faster. It's just convenient. And...
