Obviously you don't have to "start experimenting on children". One can survey parents on whether or not they used microwaves, plastic containers, or not, look at the health of the children concerned in later years, and…
I think this is actually evidence of what the poster above is referring to - the long-term effects of Oppenheimer being unfairly discredited. Fermi has streets, schools and subway stations named after him all over…
I don't think you studied either Klaus Fuchs or the Rosenbergs in much detail then. Whatever the merits of their actions or the cases against them, they were certainly dedicated Communists who did their best for a cause…
Your evidence is a movie whose raison d'etre is to elucidate the viewpoints of an American citizen and military leader who is heavily implicated in this decision and in other American war crimes, and even that document…
Hard to argue that Einstein is not overrated when he is literally the archetype of 'genius scientist' for most people in the world. But in his annus mirabilis Einstein literally made world-tier steps forward in 3 huge…
There are (in that era) no other geniuses 'like' Einstein or von Neumann. Einstein was probably the most visionary scientist of the whole century at making huge steps forward in several key areas. John von Neumann made…
Yes, BT was divided into two business units to enable this process. They unlawfully colluded with each other in order to stop any reseller from being able to charge less than the BT retail offering. Result: terrible…
There were quite a few small energy co-operatives in the UK, mainly set up by municipalities. When wholesale energy prices spiked last year, followed by a cap being applied to the prices that they could charge, they…
The 'funding for public unions' is 7% of the economy?
Actually, the very widely replicated experience of most challenger utilities is that the entrenched utility will stop you, sometimes in collusion with the government or municipalities. Try getting permits to dig up the…
A "loss" here is just a politicized framing of the fact that government pays Amtrak to do something of use to society. You might as well say that the US military makes a $1 trillion loss per year. No, they supply…
How the web works has changed quite a lot since the early 1990s though.
You're contradicting yourself. Taking notes is a feature for many, but a product for people whose working style involves taking lots and lots of notes. Call them "process cyclists" if you want, there is a bimodal…
I paid for a subscription because I really liked what it did and I used it a lot. The Android app became so unresponsive that it was basically unusable. I stopped paying when I found myself making notes in email again…
Perhaps your hindsight is selective. After HTTP/HTML and related technologies such as JavaScript have become hugely successful following this principle, it's easy to look back and say "the technology stack which beat…
Almost any web server can be configured to provide a generic response to a specific request, for example by ignoring some or all of the url path, and in practice I would bet that a majority of actual instances do this…
Well, the web has been very successful in the last few decades. Arguably at least part of this success has been due to Postel's law since, for example, browsers interpreting HTML on a best effort basis has allowed for…
No it's not. Dealing with it on the server side means that all tools and servers in the world have to go along with this decision. Posting on a blog saying that people 'SHOULD' do something and actually making it so…
Obviously if there was a business choice that you should be able to do this the supposed technical obstacles could be worked around.
..or the vuln detection could be less stupid and try to decide whether the content it has retrieved is a bash history or not?
This breaks the principle of being liberal in what you accept.
Technically Elon Musk is a CEO, and he is at the helm of Twitter, so Twitter does have an impulsive weirdo CEO at the helm, even if that impulsive weirdo CEO isn't the CEO of Twitter.
Someone who reads the title and posts flamebait based on it without reading the article or knowing what the more interesting aspects of it might be.
It's not the Spotify model that is responsible for this, but the scammy way which record companies have approached the Spotify model. They offer artists a similar 'royalty' on Spotify revenue as they did on record…
