Well only Rotterdam was bombed by the Germans. The next city to be bombed would be Utrecht, but then the Netherlands capitulated. All other destroyed cities (e.g. Arnhem, Nijmegen) were bombed by allied forces in their…
Moore's law is not about doubling clock speed, it is about doubling the transistor density. This has continued after clock speed improvements have stopped. Even today it is following Moore's law, although not at Intel:…
I agree, it tasted kind of synthetic, almost like plastic. I don't have that experience with other meat free burgers.
And now there is BitCoin.
280W TDP?! That's more than what a large refrigerator uses ..
>> Did you keep the skills at level 1? I went through all the levels. >> What do you think is holding you back? What was holding me back was: 1. Spoken French goes much faster than the French spoken in the course so I…
I'm sure that a lot is wrong with our current eduction system for teens and that giving some amount of responsibility to teens would be good. But the claim that adolescents are as good or even better than adults when it…
I have been looking around for Haskell jobs for a while because I would love to program in Haskell professionally, and what I've noticed that there are very few opportunities and the salaries are quite low. You can…
Could you lift some of veil of the mystery and perhaps give a hint which those burned companies are?
I was employee #4 in a startup in 2000, just before the burst. At that time the situation was crazy. For instance our founders had made an ambitious business plan to raise money in the next investment round. It was sent…
I always wonder how our own evolution affects our long term chances of survival as an intelligent species. Homo sapiens only exists 30K years and until recently survival was hard, making it an advantage to be…
I can confirm. There are simply different ways how you can view life; positive, negative and probably many more. And all of those see only a projection of reality. I have been mildly depressed in the past and sometimes…
Even if the USA's intentions were good, they can be blamed for choosing the wrong kind of action. It is well known that drone strikes are terribly inaccurate and therefore the risk for civilian casualties is high.
That sounds like a reasonable definition. But how would this definition qualify the Taliban attacks on military bases and police stations in Afghanistan?
Genuine question: if the motivation for this bombing was not political or ideological, what was it then?
The main benefit of example 2 IMO is that some variables got readable names. E.g. n became maxLineLength and x became line. But bad naming practices have nothing to do with FP per se. Although it does seem to be…
Isn't this resolved by the holographic principle? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle)
Rakaste vägen is the aggregation of the Finnish word Rakaste and the Swedish word vägen. There are quite a few words in Finnish that are borrowed from Swedish.
Good point! In a normal market situation you would expect the bond yields to increase when they become less attractive, but this is currently not the case. Here is a hint why this happening: not all government bonds…
The value of gold is inversely correlated with the trust in government bonds. The reason is clear when reading the article; gold is the only real money so the higher the chances of defaults on bonds, the more attractive…
Actually the dairy industry contributes a fair amount of the total CO2 production as well: http://www.fao.org/3/k7930e/k7930e00.pdf
Why is it unhelpful to point out the fact that we're overlooking the root cause of the current problems? Of course I would love to have provided the solution for world's overpopulation as well but I admit that I don't…
All these suggestions are just temporary solutions at best, as long as the root cause is still in place: overpopulation. Perhaps at this point in time we could just make things work by cutting back our lifestyles: but…
Nice article but I don't think this part of the conclusion is correct: 'Wealth, in Piketty’s view, perpetuates itself, and effortlessly earns its return (never mind the work, risk and selection issues involved). By…
