People always mention the direct foreign aid but fail to mention all the other money flows. They receive many times more money each year in private investment and open trade agreem…

Not true. Israel has a reputation for being exceedingly intrusive and aggresssive with US personnel. Just go watch intel community interviews online.

This isn’t being realistic. The major benefit of these is peer review. You aren’t going to have enough people to peer review the work of a massively open and public publication sys…

“You could always make an argument” and people did. And I would say this isn’t a surprising finding but it is important. Assessing direct impact almost always is because it makes r…

Healthcare isn’t a sector of the economy? Since when? If you hate the way they pay immigrants look at the laws of the country don’t hear the immigrants. Doing the latter is the mar…

I wouldn’t say linear algebra is a necessity to being a computer scientist. At least, not the full linear algebra content. Knowing matrix math is enough.

You seem very confused by this in your comments. Did you read the article? The Swiss government was found to be out of line with its own policies and laws.

It’s an amazing bit of history. Leaders of major powers have regularly been assassinated in history. Here the leader of a globally hegemonic nation was assassinated on camera.

To add to that. The author details how this new detail subsequently alters the version of events. Namely it suggests that the bullet that hit JFK in the back and hit Connally were …

I would probably add some major points to this synopsis. The bullet was believed to have been on Connally’s stretcher. It is the “magic bullet”. The pristine bullet that was suppos…

Aren’t regular expressions the abstraction to state machines? They all get converted to a DFA or NFA, no?

I would be comfortable calling HTML and SQL both DSLs. Given the scope of their use.

The vast majority of those countries have large inequality gaps. The only ones that don’t are listed under countries that have higher rates of home ownership I’m not even about to …

I’m not entirely sure your point here maybe you can explain
