Given how "western occult science" is just magical thinking and pseudo babble, it hardly fits on HN. Additionally, "western occult science" typically glosses over its 1920-1940s ro…

>learn to code This is the most tone deaf answer I've read in quite a while. Learning to code, and everything you listed isn't available or possible by most people in a timely mann…

I do recall Trump not wanting to let go of that power, in it? It wasn't out of his own magnanimity that he stepped down. Checks and balances still worked, appallingly sure, but the…

This goes far beyond "nuclear proliferation." It's about medical, pathogen research. The Wuhan lab for coronavirus was also backed by the US to study such viruses. Proliferation is…

One big issue is that industry jobs in some areas increasingly expect academic excellence in the shape of "publishing in top 3 conferences" for example.

I don't know where you get your statistics, but Russia's demographics is roughly 70% "ethnic russians," which amounts to about 100m people.

The main issue with this approach is that it doesn't help people who struggle financially or come from disfavorable backgrounds -- whom federal student loans aimed to help. Some se…

The weather in the US can be wild compared to what Western Europe is used to. England doesn't have to deal with the same events.

For those scratching their heads, this is the personal page (blog? fan-mail publication? It's hard to put a pin on it) of Kelley L. Ross, PhD, a Chicago School libertarian who's mi…

The is a breadth of literature on the topic. I recommend the excellent survey by Baoyuan wu on the topic (mathematical perspective) [1]. For IRL demonstrations, existing cases will…

The law is not code. Equating hope with the intention of the law is a poor way to think about it. The law is to protect users against opaque companies and to enable them making inf…

The blog clearly works from the actual outcome lense. It's repeated. Several times. The companies could just not track . The actual outcome is that they do want to track, and use a…

Oh, no, they are gaining in popularity. France has had an explosion of American trucks since 2-3 years.

This is quite the recent removal then. I recall browsing a US government website around the start of the covid pandemic where one could check your entry and exit record.

They are dedicated high-risk investment vehicles. Think of them as research centers in search of grants. People investing in them accept a short/medium/long term loss, betting that…

Unfortunate but unsurprising, given all the discussions and suspicions that the [recent] power struggle at OpenAI was about conflict of interests. This deal goes back to 2019, so i…
