Yup, Martin did a fantastic job with his book. Before you would have to go through hundreds of blog post and articles to piece all that distributed systems knowledge together. It's kind incredible how much he managed to…
Designing Data‑Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann
As in AI taking over the world? No, since AlphaGo is optimized to do just one thing.
Completely agree on the point that putting hard constraints like living in space is a good driver for reusability and sustainability - tech that can be put in use on Earth later. But let's look a little deeper why…
Yes! I strongly agree and your definition of education if very close to what I had in mind. I also see Buddhist ideas as one of very few hopes of real change in the world. Yet, as far as science goes, the best it can do…
Agree, yet it's not an either Mars or Earth question. Judging by priorities of corporations (making money, of course) it will certainly be both Mars and Earth.
Space exploration and protecting the environment are not mutually exclusive. In fact, like you mentioned, they complement each other nicely. What I'm pointing at is that space exploration is not as big of an achievement…
Good point. Still, chances of spreading it will be higher if we don't kill ourselves first or drown in our own garbage - that's where things are going so far sadly. I don't believe that fixing self-destruction and…
Good question. Perhaps. However, my point still remains that it will not stop the pollution on Earth - which will remain much cheaper to do.
I don't agree that these tendencies are what makes humanity great. First, you seem to think that humans are somehow special and above other species at who's expense "we became the masters". Would truly superior being…
So, polluting 2 worlds instead of one? Nobody will stop exploiting Earth even once new worlds become accessible.
I'm currently reading a fascinating book on world-class performance, "The Art of Learning" by Josh Waizkind, a chess and martial arts champion. It gives some really great insights into the world-class players'…
