Where Huawei got the IP? From Nortel? How much royalty fees it paid? None? That is why.

Cashless is an utopia, pushed by disconnected from reality liberal arts academics and humanities majors. Sweden is famous for having way too many of those victims of Plato virus. C…

And the rate of errors is..? The same genome sequenced two times - how many differences between two sequences? Please, don't tell me it is none.

No, because to achieve an animal-like, or even insect-like performance is way too complex and neuroscience itself is still poorly understood. How bees know how to dance? There is n…

They literally should stop pilling up crap like kubernetes and look back at what 9P and Plan9 were and why. Especially that they have almost the whole Plan9 team employed. Making a…

The classic ed and its visual version which is called vi are really good-enough if done right. The central concept here is simple regexps bound to one key commands, and that these …

What is interesting, the losses of those who got in after $10k could be approximated by analyzing daily trading volumes, and the sum of loses is about to exceed by far the .com los…

The legacy of Bitcoin should be studied to understand better how memes or semantic viruses are spreading through social groups and affects our inner representations or models of th…

Not only this. In the domain of lazy functional languages they have arrived to a similar conclusion - the only way to establish an order of evaluation in a lazy language is via nes…

This is what globalization is all about. Someone, lets say US and EU, do very costly and high skilled labour intensive R&D and then sell the results all around the world (just take…

Western concept of meditation (mudra-holding sitting in a crowded room, wearing special yoga pants) has almost nothing to do with the original meaning, which was "let the mind stop…

Yes, this is the classic. PDF could be found in bittorrent

Oh, numeric astrology and probability tantras. Future is not predictable by definition. It is just an abstract concept, a projection of the mind. Any modeling, however close to rea…

A decent CS degree, like that of MIT matters a lot. I could give an example. Once upon a time a stumbled upon this classic article (which I re-read sometimes to feel better): https…

I know so many beautiful remote places in Himalayas - ideal for remote working... But there is almost zero demand for subcontracting or plain coding into a remote repository.

The same problem again - disconnected from reality humanities majors and liberal arts academics trying to regulate ecosystems they do not comprehend or understand. They are guided …

Which framework is this? Material-what? What is Google's Bootstrap alternative? It does not look like Angular (which is a J2EE all over again), at least. Update: I did some researc…

What a language!

This is a common pattern - a bunch of disconnected from reality (literally, inside academical enclaves and mentally, living in a world of pure abstractions and ideas) pundits are a…

ML is very practical. The only reasons why it did not became popular (or has not been chosen as, say, the basis for Java) are social rather than technical and actually are insults …
