Swiss voted against tax reduction in the past. I do not know of that many countries, where people would have done that. So the way they think is a bit different. https://www.swissi…

It is just risk assessment and mitigation. Some risks are acceptable for some people and they do not need the mitigation. But for others it is not acceptable and they would find so…

There was an article on Rudi Mandl who pestered Einstein into working on gravitational lensing. This happened because Rudi was persistent and Einstein was kind enough. In future, c…

People make art to also get recognized for that art. Otherwise they would keep that art secret at home. Without copyright, anyone can copy the art and call it their own. What is th…

Because there are no consequences of Trump's actions, he would continue to commit offenses. Neither Biden's administration, nor the judge presiding over Trump's crimes did what sho…

I don't see why AI would deskill what you love to do. People still do embroidery even though mass manufacturing exists. If you love something you would continue doing it irrespecti…

This is why I don't trust self driving cars. It is hard to say when it will make a wrong decision and we are too slow to react as we are not actively engaged in driving.

It was a referendum. Anyone can trigger a referendum if they have 100k signatures. This was not the government position.

Seems they have figured out the single crystal blade tech https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/china-crystal-...

This is a strange article. I did not find anything that is a blocker for China. China is a relative new comer to jet engines and this technology is tightly guarded by incumbents an…

I used to look forward to MacOS upgrades. Nowadays I dread it. Spotlight used to be great for quick look up of files, now it is pretty much useless for me. I am back to using finde…
