The article starts with "I hate wasting time passively watching that TV stuff", then makes a weak point admitting that wasting time on editing or reading Wikipedia is useful. Then …

> I personally found Russian culture and way of perceiving the world too depressive. Examples?

Good social development statistics doesn't mean the people are happy with their lives. As I see, the article takes the results for granted without any doubt and then speculates and…

I say what I think. I don't think saying "doesn't seem to exist, but many people believe" may harm any kid. If a kid asks me of sexual stuff, i'll think twice, because what I say c…

Can anyone explain what's meant by "o" and "u" word? Googled, but found no explanation.

It even doesn't take a conspiracy to start a propaganda. Successful companies support PR, advertizing and, for example, style magazines, which improves their business, and other bu…

I'm wondering what kind of utility function is needed to make such a strange MU function... As far as dents on the car are concerned, let me write what conventional microeconomy sa…

The example in the article is flawed. I find it easy to care of big problems rather than perfecting a single small one. I wear clean clothes every day, but find it hard to care of …

IMO, it is fair that the book was ignored. The guy completely ignores the time and risk factors, namely being short-term-payoff-oriented and long-term-payoff-oriented. This is a su…

Nice to hear of a work on a smart AI. I've had the same ideas, that the situation with AI or any scientific tools in the gaming mainstream is unsatisfactory. I had to deal a lot wi…
