It's actually quite the opposite. Spending time to do something else than please yourself is questionable. What are you working for? To improve society and the world? First you'll improve things for a limited range of human beings

Yup. Who did write the microcode at the time? And for how long?

Go read "The Rebel" now :D I find his essays to be even more brilliant than his prose.

Existentialism is about going back to reality as you perceive it. It's not about being self-centered. You should read or re-read The Stranger, and you'll see that it has much to do with the current pandemic.

It's never "the work of a long-preparing revolutionnary crowd" revolution, but always a "latest fashionable technology" revolution. Tech propaganda at its best.

Pseudo-patronage, or charity-software, it's the new model being pushed by GAFAM (and Palantir) in order to access to digital public services markets in the EU. It's quite certainly illegal though - procurement regulations, etc., b

This is the paradox of Solow pushed to the next level. You see digital stuff everyhwere, except in the balance sheet... because everytime you use digital technologies to simplify something, it ends up complexifying something else :D

How could it be dead? Contrary to airbnb couchsurfing is not a company, it's a concept. And it has no running costs. People will just pause and get back to it later on.

Awk in 2 minutes : google "awk this" and "awk that" :D

Or maybe you were too young ;) And maybe such complex problems don't come with very clear solutions. Re-read it :D

Well, what do they "threaten" about? They were ORDERED to stop deliveries :D

If I might, digital surveillance technologies cannot actually help fight the pandemic. It's a fantasy. What can hep are masks, medicines and good hygiene practices. Everything else is only the use of shock doctrine to push old agendas.

This really seems like a bad solution to me. Any domain name provider will allow you to create personalized mail addresses for a total cost of around 10$/y. Then -> imap -> Thunderbird. And you're set for life with a nearly

Did iTunes ever had a life?

Wow. I used it on Win 3.1 on an old 486sx25. It was both powerful and lightweight. I loved it.

Given that there are no historical proofs of the existence of Jesus - especially nothing contemporary, it's a legitimate question.

I love your answer, but I am afraid most buddhists believe that there was a historical buddha.

by soufron 7y ago
Aren't japanese people shintoists rather than buddhists?
112.
by soufron 7y ago
Exactly. And the existence of Buddha himself might well be very allegorical.

by soufron 7y ago
Is it certain that he ever existed? Or is it like Jesus?

Did it ever existed to begin with? The myth begun with "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" from Steven Levy in 1984, and it was mainly propaganda.

To me, the maths of the radar are the easy part. But the physics of it? That's something that seems entirely more complex to me. Is it really? Could any of you explain how you emit the radio wave, and how you detect it back? In terms o

Or to have two statues on the same cart, or to keep some sort of a more discrete and orientable object on the same cart to keep track.

I teach about Ted Kaczynski in my course at Sciences-Po in Paris. Do you have more info on that? I'll guess I'll find out easily by myself, but if you like the topic you might have good clues about where to go.

As a good tip, in order to keep my workweek short, I try not to work on Wednesday and Friday, and of course, on the week end. This means I try to work 3 days a week only. I usually can do it pretty much easily.
