The USSR had time, resources (human and material) and the land buffer to keep fighting. The farther Germany pressed into the USSR, the more Germany's resources and supply lines were stretched and the Soviets eventually realized that. S

Why? The work you do in your spare time can directly (by reusing libraries you build) or indirectly (learning a new language, framework, etc) improve your performance at work. Only reason you should ever feel guilty is if your side projects

I don't think it has anything to do with Spanish though, since it's really of Latin origin like many Spanish words. Culpa and words like culpable are derived from Latin (like the Latin phrase, mea culpa [my fault]).

Arab can be a very generic and overly used term in many conversations. Please define who you think are Arabs. Also the link this whole thread is about on wikipedia is about a Scientist from Turkey, not Arabia. > "Badi'al-Zaman

Actually, it's never been reliably confirmed from any of the scientific reports I've read. Maybe they do still exist and I want to believe it, but so do a lot of other people and that may be skewing the evidence. Just some blurry

I don't really see a good reason why I should spend 30 or so minutes replying to your comments that show little interest in continuing the discussion. If you showed the interest of wanting to have a real dialogue, sure, but it's n

Because unlike those previous species, we (as a species) were at best, at least partially responsible for their demise? That's the difference between the extinction of the dinosaurs and the previously mentioned species. Reviving specie

I'd say little of what killed these species was very progressive to anyone except to a handful of people that exploited them.

Another theory is that the decline of Native Americans led to the boom in the numbers of passenger pigeons (since many Eastern Tribes considered them a primary food source). However, the nesting habits and mating rituals of birds in general

Carrier pigeons, unlike passenger pigeons (which derive their name from the huge sky-darkening flocks they created, making them look like "passengers") are not a species, just a domesticated rock pigeon trained to travel between d

I hope your question is more from the lack of knowing or curiosity than not seeing that many of these species are only extinct or on the brink of extinction because humanity could not be bothered to be a little considerate while modernizing

If you venture to a local pond/lake and observe the mallards and black ducks, some of them have one of their eyes open while sleeping because they can keep half of their brain awake. I just happened to notice it while on a daily walk a

That's strange, maybe the binary compile was not optimized for WP? Can't imagine why json serialization would end up being faster otherwise.

Hmm, that's a good point. Oppenheimer had much more to lose with his clearance/position and far more baggage they eventually used against him than Feynman (aside from some extremely personal vendettas against Oppenheimer). Maybe i

My guess for withholding Android 3.x was to prevent Amazon from using Android 3.x on the original Kindle Fire. Instead, the original Fire was stuck using a modded Phone OS (Android 2.3) while Android 3.x remained exclusive to tablets licens

Yeah, seems very similar to what we went through with DDT and animals in the 1950s and 1960s. Hopefully India has its own Rachel Carson advocating for the birds and the environment.

Nine species of vulture can be found living in India. Today, most of them are in danger of extinction.[1] This has not always been the case. In the 1980s there were as many as 80 million white-rumped vultures (Gyps bengalensis) in India. A
