That's just the regions with best economics getting treats of Baumol's effect[1] Countries with mediocre economies often afford child care and gamedev without much trouble, since their productivity is also mediocre hence their wag

I am arguing that doping never had anything to do with the issue and it was a political lash at Russia from the start. A successful attempt to use the built influence to smear the olympic shirt. If your due process sucked, tough shit, don&#

2020 was actually sufficient for hostile actions to be taken and the hot war just didn't start yet. I don't see this historical spirit being applied in the century XXI against anybody besides Russia. And it's not like there i

It is you who is trying to weaponize everything else, including the Olympics movement. It was your choice to make Olympics political and full of military messages, and then you act surprised when they start blowing up in your hands. You did

Whataboutism is a word for your audacity of accusing others of what you do yourself (you know you do, they know you do) based on your confidence of being able to exclude opponents from the discussion.

If you frame it that way, what are the downsides ? There's already no games for me, why let you get the fun? What did you in question even expected when escalating?

Walking, scootering or taking transit to work became of considerable less interest to me once I became fully remote. What is interesting to me now is whether my children will able to walk to school and back, since that one is not remote, an

Race to Berlin made sense because it led to better post-war outcomes for USSR, which also had price in human lives. However, helping Polish uprising would do the opposite, as the Poles proudly tell themselves. It wasn't impossible thou

You may e-mail your concerns to Georgia. More seriously, it seems that you are trying to pass Polish passivity and inaction as a virtue. Somehow individual Polish human beings should be treated better because their Polish state was AFK, tha

I may be beliving that a benevolent AI has an obligation preserve our consciousness after our death, as well as treat us with free ice cream. There should be a process of reconciling your beliefs with reality. Poland did end up on the recei

This means you will need to invest capital when joining. Imagine a bus drivers cooperative. The pay will be nice but the downside that you have to show up with your own bus to join. And then probably be indebted to a bank. If a company is o

Our vocabulary is only statistically finite. Number of words in a dictionary is finite. Number of words used to all speakers is not.

Not being to able to distinguish infinitely many symbols on a single tape does not mean there is a bound on the number of meanings that may be assigned to symbols.

Worse things happened in the vicinity so who are them to complain. Or to put it another way, who is there to listen to their complaints?

I wonder if you understand that you just quoted how Zhukov avoids human wave tactics. I guess you have a better strategy than Zhukov has described, with more favourable tradeoffs. Perhaps you could share it with Ukrainian command since th

> the Soviets had a moral obligation to right some of those wrongs. That is extremely naive indeed to think that Stalin would have any moral obligations to right any of his perceived wrongs. All the trajectory of his political life sugge

I'm not sure why Poles have this audacity that many young Russians (but also some Belorussians and Ukrainians, and some Soviet Jews) had to die so that Poles had better bargaining position with Stalin later on. This all while explainin

How much extra losses would you expect Soviet troops take in an unprepared operation? The official story is that Stalin warned them against the uprising.

Both sides did actually contribute. Urban warfire does not spare cities as they change hands.

I'm not sure I follow. Natural languages usually have very simple syntax. The Greeks had great literature while still in "boustrophedon with no whitespace" phase. The number of possible symbol meanings may be unbound. And the

I don't agree. What if the next symbol's meaning conditionally depends on the previous ones? For example, in 1937 the third glyph is number three, but in ВАЗ, the third glyph is Cyrillic letter Z. They're not different in wri

Pulseaudio had a great GUI mixer/settings app. That does not seem to come with pipewire and tries to install PA when explicitly installed.

I just don't see why that should have $23B market cap as opposed to $230M. A small team can challenge them with similar product.

These numbers sound like a complete out of world fantasy to me. CRWD has a product that the user is not going to notice, best case. Now you said Wiz doesn't even have that one (what does it have then?) And their valuation is on par w

I remember there was oss and alsa. Then on top of that you had esd or artsd, with incompatible APIs and userland delays. Then at some point they were replaced with pulseaudio. I've just noticed now that pulseaudio is also replaced with

I look forward for AI trained entirely on Wikipedia and classical literature with no twitter and no contemporary art in sight. It would be sublime. Let's face it, the creators of century XXI way overestimate the importance of their stu
