This is unhelpful. People should be expected to read past headlines. The paper's abstract takes 30 seconds to read.

I can't help but think this tech war will be a positive for most of us. Both China and the US seem to think they need a rival, and if they want to do it over chips I think it can o…

I've tried something like what you're describing. Most years I'd start with a week or two of solving problems that don't involve any code at all. For example, a day one teaser (the…

Interesting, because as a former CS teacher I regularly did this. We'd go through some material and then I'd demonstrate it being used in different contexts, sometimes writing code…

You're allowed bots, so why can't we archive it and make it more easily searchable? Those programming channels with QA style threaded answers would be great to log and make searcha…

What does racism have to do with something that is so obviously an economic based power struggle? Preventing Chinese researchers is not racist. There seems to be no problems allowi…

It's a huge benefit to the crowds at street level, and keeps the city cooler overall because all that concrete is not being turned into a heated surface. They're not generally ther…

The silence could have come from embarrassment at later recognition of what he'd done.

I just ran "a criminal" 8 times and got only white men.

The first point is interesting to me. Choosing not to defend the 2nd amendment while defending the first. Thank for the info.

In the past the ACLU has defended hate groups right to freedom of speech. Do you have evidence that they'd do something to the contrary?

I don't think US camps are anti-science as much they are against a small subset of science which disagrees with their religious beliefs. There are no anti-relativity or anti-magnet…

Most Chinese have probably never given a thought as to whether they are pro science or not. That seems to be more an American preoccupation. My Chinese relatives have all sorts if …

I'd wager that without hfts liquidity would be just fine. Maybe smaller stocks wouldn't become the battleground for hft algos, but aside from that they're mostly penny skimming vul…

I'm in my 40s and haven't had one, but I've also never really figured out what I want my life to be like. In truth the question was always more what do I want to do right now? What…

There are so many cities (I'd say it's the majority in the world), with mixed use zoning which work wonderfully. Lower floors are offices or businesses and upper floors are apartme…

Great quote, thanks for sharing.

There's also an increased distance between those doing the actual work and those making decisions about how it should be done. Bureaucratic depth keeps any real change from taking …

I think this is a good coping mechanism, though I disagree that you should always follow your heart. We are often not mature or knowledgeable enough, and our heart makes dumb, impu…

You have the choice to ignore the hi. Seems like a non-issue.

These are great. Reminds me of some of the puzzles from hackthissite.org. Do you mind me asking what you did after you left teaching?

Not OP, but I've known/taught autistic kids who would seem to fall under that umbrella.

Does the issue here lie in not focusing on a singular thing, or allowing yourself to get stressed about the things you're expected to do? If you're constantly worrying about your t…

I think op is making a rust joke more than anything else.

Strong in China. I haven't seen them much elsewhere.
