From my standpoint, this isn’t about revenge. It’s about accountability and alignment with broader realities. Over the past 18 months, we've seen over a million layoffs across the …

In the city where I live, the contrast is striking: the local state college boasts dorms and facilities that are remarkably luxurious—architecturally grand, stylish, and visibly we…

I wonder what would be a really effective incentive to the construction industry to build more homes. Something like -- no tax on any homes construction for the next 5 years. Would…

I beg to differ. Regular human beings would die 100% of the time. Not 80.

I'm disappointed to hear this news. Understanding the origins of Covid is one of the most important things we can do in this century.

No. It's not deep in their nature. People do not compete in a system offering no incentive to compete.

I think everybody is missing the point. If one grad student was able to do this, imagine what a team of dozens of well-paid, well-equipped, and highly experienced security experts …

I get a server error (500)

It might be flawed, wrong, stupid, etc. but that’s not a reason to flag it. Argue against, bring more light into the discussion. Censoring it brings no good. Censorship should be r…

Sam, I know that you now spent a couple of months with researchers, and thus can write "deep" articles on researchers vs. founders now. Everyone knows that the best kind of researc…

All drawings, paintings, and art I saw in Africa, all of them depict people in a group. There is never a single person depicted in any imagery. You won't find any Mona Lisa in Afri…

I have not read the paper, and I could be wrong. However, these appear to be attacks against the crypto implemented inside a TPM/fTPM. The reference implementation of TPM 2.0 leave…

On iOS, OneNote has a completely broken search experience. That's a showstopper for me.

Great point. But there should be a distinction between academic conferences where professors from U. Mich are publishing and practitioner conferences aimed at industry (including s…

The main trait of a top researcher is skepticism -- the willingness to doubt results. You learn to be skeptical as part of the training during your Ph.D. Unfortunately, the standar…

Two points: 1. The article's point is that the "The Race to 5G is BS" and not "5G is BS". Please adjust. 2. I can try to offer an answer to the author. History has shown that a nov…

I really hope this event is picked up by the media. This is truly worrisome because it unnecessarily erodes US's ability to be at the forefront of technology research. This is not …

Yes! What could possibly go wrong?

This is very interesting. I wish I could read more about it. Is this true of minimum-security prisons too?

A whole bunch of links don't work or have empty pages: Code Development Overview https://microsoft.github.io/mu/CodeDevelopment/overview/ Code requirements: https://microsoft.githu…

I think you're under-estimating how important his refusal to use force was. This was an unprecedented reversal of 50+ years of policy of using force. More importantly, it was human…

Solzhenitsyn's writings gave hope to people, to their minds and souls. Like Voice of America and other channels of information from outside the curtain. But saying that they destro…

Yes, it's a hypothesis. A hypothesis that has been invalidated by data again, and again, and again, and again.
