This is the first time in the history of humanity that the country leaders can be bypassed and money could be sent peer-to-peer between geographies. There is just no precedent to this (you can't send gold / USD bills on the border

Women have dualistic mating strategy (and men too, just differently): the man whose genes they want is very different from the one who they want to provide for the baby to grow up. Of course lucky people can have both of these traits in the

To make your prediction even more correct: tools like this make smart people more productive, but won’t help not that smart people to get smart. Jordan Peterson has been talking about the non-replacable jobs requiring a higher minimum IQ ov

A lot of us who have the means to protest left the country instead as a form of protesting, because it's so easy to move inside EU. A huge other part of Hungarians who Orban gave votes to were born and poor people living in Romania and

For us Hungarians this isn’t really news, it wasn’t even secret how unfair and illegal the last election was. Viktor Orban is running a hybrid authorian country that’s going into the authorian direction, and right now I don’t see any way to

It's interesting that there was a post just today about initializing padding and other stack variables to 0 decreasing bugs in C/C++ by 10% without significant change in performance, this sounds like a great example.
