So when we push our brigtest kids into CS, it's to advance technology/knowledge. When the chinese do it, it's to weaponize it?

Why wouldn't china fight against "hate" speech? I find it hilarious that the hypocritical news industry and the leftists mock china for their censorship while they themselves advocate for censorship in the US. Of course…

That seems managable when you have 3 candidates. What happens when there are 10 or 20 candidates? Would voters have to list their top 10 or 20 choices?

I agree. Surviving a nuclear attack isn't the problem. That's just simply a matter of luck of where you are at the time of the attacks. Surviving the aftermath would require blood, sweat and tears. When civilization…
Isn't that a step down from teaching people VBA macros? I hope it isn't for a CS class. They should be learning principles rather than creating toy plug-ins which is something anyone can do for a hobby if they wanted.
Nothing. Climate change happens with or without humans. I'm so sick of the climate change fearmongering already. What we will do is adapt, like we always have. The earth is always in a state of "climate change". Humans…

Part of me wishes it was true. But part of me also knows that betteridge's law of headlines is as reliable as newton's laws of motion for everyday life.
Hopefully this is the first step in tackling IP theft issue. China is a big problem, but so is britain, israel, korea, japan, etc. Sometimes, these countries take our IP/tech and sell it to china.
