Yeah, imagine the joy of chasing your dinner through savannah with nothing but a pointy stick. Feel free to do that, btw, but I will stick to living in a civilized society.
That's another funny consequence of this conflict: Trump is proud of himself, because he thinks lower exports hurt China, while US oil companies are making record profits. In reality: China's oil reserves are so huge…
Not sure about this ship, but US Navy shot plenty of civilian ships, those associated with Iran. At this point US isn't even trying to pretend their actions are lawful, by going to UN and trying to pass some resolution…
But Russia is not a member of ICC. So, ICC going after Putin contradicts the logic from your earlier post in this thread. It's not 125 countries agreeing to police each other, it's them going after a country outside…
The point of the United States of America is to take care of its citizens. A "better qualified brown person" has their own country where they can apply for jobs without any restrictions. Them coming to US is a…
Prevailing wage itself is a scam. I'm not sure how government comes with those values but they are comicaly low.
But you need an employer filing petition on your behalf. That's the fucked up part. It should be like in any other country: If you have lived in the US for at least 5 years (assuming you got here legally), you should be…
In Terry Pratchett's "Long Earth" there was a superintelligent AI that got legal recognition as a person by claiming to be reincarnation of some Tibetan monk that happened to die at the exact second when that AI was…
The cynic in me thinks: most of the things on that list are most easily acquired if you have money.
Yes, but the size of community matters. In a 100 people tribe everybody knows everyone else. In 1M city most people are strangers, a.k.a. competitors, enemies even.
Well, if a person has a good story but can’t write, for example some civil rights activist, or war/catastrophe survivor, they will often use a ghostwriter to help with the actual writing.
This is a top-level example but you do not have to look at the top, really. The whole private insurance system is a scam at every level. I mean: I immigrated to US couple years ago, and I can tell you that any hospital…
The main thing they should correct for is "how much China and Russia want them dead, and can they make it look like a suicide"?
Isn't this tool directly violating NVIDIA license terms? I thought they disallow running CUDA on non-NVIDIA hardware. Or is it just because there's no money for NVIDIA in suing poor, Eastern European programmer?
Well, nfl/nba are focused on big guys, 6’3 and above. In soccer your height/mass doesn’t matter much so the talent pools don’t overlap. And baseball is the old man’s game that does not require any athleticism at all.
> We have a good example with incandescent light bulbs. I don’t know anyone who has attempted to violate the ban on home incandescent light bulbs. Funny, because I remember that when this ban was first introduced in my…
Well, I can give you Russian oligarchs - they came to their wealth during time of chaos, and mostly through stealing. But Texan oil billionaires? They won their wealth fair and square, if not for anything else then for…
Yes, and the contributions from those parents were so valuable that the society still owes them, even long after their death. That's why we pay our dues to their children and grandchildren.
>If a child is "folded in half" by someone looking at their phone, no one accepts that as "good enough" But of course we do. Yes, we punish the individual driver that did it, but we still allow humans to drive cars. We…
So they are going to buy their own products to boost sales? Shouldn’t that be illegal or something?
Building supersonic passenger planes was never a technical problem (see Concorde), the problem is: they are too expensive to operate to be profitable. I bet this thing will never see any commercial use.
Well, we have to remember that the mankind natural state is slavery, a 200-year period of democracy was an anomaly that is now self-correcting.
Common market is overrated, and the negative impact of EU-imposed taxes and stupid regulations is real. As I said: Polish GDP grew faster before joining EU. I would be first to vote "leave" if it ever comes to it.
I actually owned quite a bit of Intel stock bought at $19, but was forced to sell it. Then I bough some for $45 last year, and sold couple weeks ago for $60, just a day or two before it took off. Lucky me....
