Actually Eastern Europe is doing immigration despite what headlines you might be reading. Lots of Indians and Filipinos and Latin Americans.

I know what they want to say, but I think their argument is quite weak, because essentially you have US industries that aren't tech. American workers still get higher salaries than…

This is not a critque of the work, but I have now been often encountering category theory in many of the research topics I'm working on, and even as somebody who majored in math, I…

Yes, unfortunately it's very easy to buy our bureaucrats both at national and EU level. Heck most of them style themselves to be Americans! You make very good points.

IMHO, the EU needs to become more proactive when it comes to tech markets. Trying to find new ways to tax US tech megacorps is not going to cut it. 1. Create competitive low tax re…

We are building general thinking machines with the aim of replacing all human labour, ... but humans won't be replaced, they will find other jobs, because when we introduced tracto…

It's more that women are the less expendable gender. If you send the women to die on the front lines, who is going to birth the next generation to replenish your population?

Why? This seems so anachronistic. In the age of drones and AI, manpower is not going to be your limiting factor.

I really like the game as a concept, and I got pretty far already, level 2.16, but I feel like some levels aren't making much sense at all in terms of the goal and how the passing …

Weird tangent. Let's quantify it in number of rapes / demographic.

Hmm, yes they are. There's always at least one pony tailed guy, late 20s early 30s, at the local gathering of whatever stands for your progressive party, basically preying on gulli…

Chomsky spent the latter half of his career decrying the capitalists and telling us that we should be suspcious of them. It certainly shows that he didn't walk the walk.

Could be, but we don't know what is driving this meme magic. Could be totally organic. Could be not.

IDK the dating scene in Singapore. I frankly didn't even know that Singapore was considered a tech hub. I was using it as a synonym for a tech hub because that is what I assumed th…

I agree with you that STEM don't hold a monopoly on intelligence. > engineers that can't get laid in Singapore are the same "brilliant" engineers that can't get laid in their home …

Nothing worse than being famished and getting one measly slice of pizza.

It's fundamentally still a problem of asymmetry of power and connections. Try to put yourself in the shoes of an FBI agent tasked with investigating this same case. The accused are…

Weird post. Who is saying YOUR taxes or MY taxes should go up? Our taxes should go down. Billionaires should be taxed more instead.

All I want to know is if they are the floury kind or the waxy kind, or some in between hybrid. Floury potatoes are so hard to find these days. Almost everyone is growing these "all…

Not true. Organized crime operates largely where people have money, i.e. in Europe, it's mostly UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden...etc.

The article really wants to drive home how bad "central planning" is, but the problem, as per the article, originates from the fact that the food banks themselves are operating sem…

The Rest is History is good, depending on the topic. Both guests have a bit of bias which you have to sort of take into account, not that different from The Rest is Politics. Misha…

Western politics is all about constructing these narratives that hide the hypocrisy and self-serving nature of the dominant political factions. You can see it everywhere, but this …

It's a very interesting read, but a lot is not clear. How does the seller get these desktops directly from NVIDIA? And if the seller's business is custom made desktop boxes, why di…
