Heck, anyone offering insider advice or education in many professions and trades should be worried: medicine, nursing, legal, engineering, aviation, maintenance (automotive, aviation, industrial and many more), physics and more.

Corporate, ad-supported platforms are inherently prone to arbitrary censorship... they always have been and always will be. If you want freedom, viewer/donation-supported distribution not tied to corporate interests is the only way to

This title needs editing. It has nothing to do with gravity.

Could this encode additional classical bits (optical transceivers) and/or qubits (single-photon quantum key-distribution protocol)?

Rush to provisionally-patent what may or may not exist. Monetize the little green Martians' tech even before meeting them. Good thinking. Even if it doesn't exist, it's still better to gamble on the off chance it does.

I know which is worse: it's not 737 NG's Ducommun's substandard critical structural parts, underpaid subcontractor software engineers in India or Boeing monetizing safety as optional extras... it's the systematic, system

Tinfoil attention seeker or big claims/flimsy evidence pleader. There's also a lot of lonely, sad people who say the FBI's watching them and have a file on them... delusions of grandeur.

Paul Beckwith did a video about Iran and other areas where temperatures exceeded survivable wet-bulb levels. There is an upper-limit based on thermodynamics. https://kevinhesterdotlive.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/h

Spain and the south of France will be bad. And, Spain is already desertifying like crazy and climate models show it's screwed long-term. I would expect climate refugees leaving the Iberian peninsula in greater numbers soon, farmers in

Chips are different because it costs more to reverse/reengineer them, but once engineered (or copied) for manufacturing, it's trivial to make more. Software and physical design is more difficult to control.

Apple and Samsung already exploit slave labor indirectly throughout the entire supply chain from sulphur mining, rare earth elements mining in the ocean and final assembly. Depending on China might be a stupid move if it suddenly decides to

"Regulations" is a terrible word conflating and FUDing necessary protections with unfair restrictions. Deranged, all-or-nothing libertarians mindlessly cargo-cult refrain "regulations and government are evil becus government&

Remember that stable democracies always have the potential become authoritarian dictatorships. History is littered with examples: France, Germany, Japan, Chile, Turkey and to a lesser extent, the authoritarian strongmen who were elected in

They will have to pull encryption from my cold, dead hands. And I'll strongly consider making a 80% lower legally-unregistered gun if things get any more insane, because stuff is going off a cliff 1930's-style.

Yes. Exactly. I waited for a hour for it to stream to Youtube to skip their bombastic nonsense and Creepy Corporate Joe. They should've tested them down to 8 at the beginning to hold a series of debates every couple of weeks. This deba

Yeap. The two part debates had a few great candidates weighed down and split with aspirational and corporate candidates. And the moderators were horrible, neoliberal corporate hack$. Jimmy Dore, George Galloway, Ro Khanna and Noam Chomsky a

Evernote stumbled and failed to execute so many times. The got hacked, had a clunky/yucky UI forever and lost people's notes. Plus, like a meal kit service or taxi app, they didn't have anything that was inherently defensible

That would help anonymous discussions on non-work platforms offsite or on personal devices.

Yes, this. I'm surprised they're not labeled as scary "socialism" and replaced with public-private "partnerships" with commercial ads, membership fees and overpriced concessions. It seems the public commonwealt

RPN FTW. Good ol' LISP. :) In Haskell, you can turn any function into an infix operator with backquotes. As a qualitative, nonfunctional stylistic, ergonomic opinion, I find Haskell much more flexible and beautiful than the ugliness of

R, SAS, Octave, Mathematica, MATLAB, Excel (lol), FORTRAN and many more come to mind. Julia seems more like flavor of the month. As an example, I know of a Monte Carlo nuclear reactor simulator that was written in tens of millions of lines

Everyone should watch the Louis Rossmann channel before lionizing, much less even saying anything good about modern MBP's they don't seem to understand what's been lost and what sucks. It's not been a long-lasting produc

IDEO competitor? Why not just drop into a VP or C-role of such a firm than build such a company completely from nothing?

Assange on one side and Sackler family on the other. Eventually, the people rise up and separate the heads from the bodies of the Marie Antoinettes.

Yes, although IDEO could probably do a better job.

Idiotic tariffs and bans, trade will always find a way. Just ask drug dealers.

At the time, no. It depends on the lifecycles of the Soviets' assets because it was a bartering arrangement. Plus, gold could be stolen or skimmed, submarines were discrete units of barter that hopefully arrived in more or less one pie
