It is not only that, if you parent is a successful engineer, businessman or whatever. Not only they will hire tutors if needed they can often teach kids themselves. I learned more math from my dad who has PhD in physics then from all of my

The God is on the side of bigger battalions and US battalions are MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger. It is a matter of spending in the end. US can outspend Russia and China combined without even noticing. In 20 years.. well we have no clue what will ha

It all depends on type of project timeline etc. I find the stupid errors in untyped languages trivial to catch. In debugging the hard errors are what takes long time to deal with. Those types of errors are rarely can be caught by compiler.

Try mentioning any of that and you summon a lynch mob. That area of science makes cargo culting in software development seem like math. Utter joke. That anyone takes it seriously or actually does anything based on it.. surgeons during Napol

Yeah. I have had an iPhone returned after leaving it by accident on a train. A luggage with a MacBook air inside returned as well. Funniest part was reaction of my coworker who helped me figure out where I should call to get the luggage. It

It’s going after the wholesale customers that did the trick. Lots of those must be catering to the SJW demographic. Easy target. He should turn it around and go all MAGA. Some rebranding and you have a true red blooded American coffee ;) wi

And how many actually pay that rate? Vs how many would if it was 40 or something non ridiculous? In that income bracket you can live anywhere in the world. Could buy suite in Paris just on tax savings.

Think of it as how Americans are completely tolerant of communists while people who lived under communist rule tend to be not so much. Americans have not experienced Cheka, Holodomor or Cultural Revolution. They also have not experienced Ta

The good part is that PRC reach is mostly limited to China itself. Except if you get high enough profile they send a kidnap squad after you.

GRU and KGB first directorate. Also Soviet counter intel was orders of magnitude better, it helps when you can roundup anyone you want and brutalize anyone you want any time you want. Western intel agencies were like children playing agains

Thing it is a choice all women have to make. US or Japan. As you go past late 20s the clock is ticking. You basically need 2-3 years per kid to write off your career(so about 6 years for replacement rate). Unless you are making enough to hi

It is all great till you face an opponent with high end tech capability. The more communications you use the more connected you are the more things to jam, intercept and misdirect. This seems to be the Russian approach. We will see the prev

Very interesting read, for context small sword is a dueling gentleman weapon. Not very good at protecting yourself in battlefield. Problem is that it is very hard to parry a bayonet or a heavy sword with it, too light and since it lack an e

I use the system and while yes you can do what you describe it is usually not really worth it. There is a limit on it that is not that high and it is more fun to just grab different fun things. I ended up using it for lots of high grade mea

Some of it has nothing to do with ML/AI, docker probably killed more Sysadmin jobs then all of ML combined. Better tools allow us to do more, faster etc. Thing is amount of things software can do that it is not doing yet is absolutely
