Which 'successful countries' do this? I can think of S Korea, but they're in a particular situation with their northern neighbour, and some odd European countries who mainly have it because they failed to get through the legi

That post is 3 years old, the company is almost twice as old now as it was then, how are they doing today? But it's a good peak into the mind of GH - not the cosiest of people to hang out with perhaps, considering how intent he is on b

Not mentioned: dance classes, especially ballet, are great for practicing balance. Not sure how practical it is, though, if you're over 70 and just starting.

The word Alphabet didn't go away when Google renamed their parent company, and I'm confident that the word meta will also prove stronger than its SV appropriation.

Meta comment: I'd appreciate if we could adopt the 'academia style' for headlines (ie tell the results right away) instead of the 'clickbait style' (click here to find out). So in this example: "Bionic reading

My impression is that those trade/tech "expos" in the 19th century were really a massive acceleration force of innovation and industrialization. To the point that I could imagine that the lack of such expositions might be an

Is this link up here for the content or for the tech? I don't get it either way - the app is nice, but it's built using another system (and I'd have lots of suggestions to improve how it renders on this site). In terms of con

Bit of a tangent, but the 'mutually assured destruction' meme is a cold-war-era concept relying on some strong assumptions - namely that any country would be able to credibly claim that they could take out US strike capabilities i

Thanks for sharing, but it's a different one. This one takes a long time to load for me, the other one was incredibly smooth.

I'd say it's the author who has a misconceived idea of index funds. Many index funds are way less 'passive' than their marketing claims, running non-trivial sampling or swap schemes to replicate their indices, as well as

Someone without a formal CS education who's selling programming courses telling you that formal CS courses don't necessarily teach you programming (duh). He has a point that if you do a Master's you might be going without t

Good job, and congrats on the offer! Recently someone posted a link to someone's personal website that was also a Windows-style desktop environment (built using WASM, I believe). I believe it was under an Ask thread "show your fav

The core mechanics of Pokemon are arguably the battles and catch'em'all. Pokemon Go is only a Pokemon game if you don't consider battles a core mechanic. The battle system in Pokemon Go had nothing to do with the Pokemon batt

I'd say that's something different. Regulatory capture is when a regulator who is supposed to be outside the system gets drawn into it (like a banking regulator who gets defensive about a flawed risk model by a bank after they&#x2

Exactly. Yes, it's a successful game by traditional standards, but the initial hype was the biggest in gaming ever, by a wide margin. I'd argue that it would not have been that hard to convert a much higher percentage of those ini

I don't deny that Pokemon Go was a huge success and that it has a lot of players who love it for what it is. I just wish somebody was still going to build an actual location-based Pokemon game.
