yes there's a loss, not a monetary/economic loss, but a loss of (potential) power. the fact the loss is "potential" irks me about calling it a 'loss'; it's not quite a loss, but a missed opportunity to lev

but it's all about the managed lag. how else would all those billions in R&D would be worthwhile for investment institutions? as I see it (and stretching my reasoning), the lag is also part of what maintains the prestige of many ac

again, on my own very stretchy way of thinking (which involves big leaps in reasoning). you're saying that a company has a right to protect its secrets, but I'm hearing something comparable to (e.g.) "colonialist superpowers

they removed the human element from the content. they've focused on the outcomes, the resulting inventions of the scientists and mathematicians. they only teach how to use the techniques, not how they were made. paving the way (or buil

very interesting... now add in asset forfeiture driven by legally mandated black markets and the picture is ever so slightly more complete.

I'm appaled how the american propaganda machine convinces so many people that they're out there fighting for freedom and for the world. Obviously they have to protect their imperialistic interest in order for their hegemonic maste

I think taxes stopped making sense since 1971 when the USD became a fully fiat currency. if the government can print money, what's the point of collecting money through taxes?

I'm starting from the viewpoint that the whole point of music is observing the performer do it. in contrast, the whole point of paiting or a sculping is the final completed artifact. What I'm trying to get at, is how recording tec

yes. I wish I could somehow get to work on a blend between: a decompiler, debugger, emulator, static analyzer, memory profiler, and so on. The idea being some kind of a runtime for assembly code which does not actually execute the program b

what is most interesting to me about bezier curves is how they introduce a 'time' parameter. referring to how they switch from two coordiates (function arguments) into just the one 'time' argument. this is most clear in

of course it does have to do with walkabale cities. to walk in a city that is not set-up for walking is clearly an odd thing to do. if the city were set-up for walking and people walked it, a group of 4 persons walking wouldn't be an o
