In the old days, the elderly of the village used to look at someone, trying to determine if the person was an Old Soul, or the reincarnation of someone important... And if they "found" one, they did treat them differently, give them attention and so on...

Funny thing is that whenever a "genious" comes up as topic, people say he did this and that...
But later it emerges hundreds or thousands of unpublished letters to others in the field, cooperations, good teamwork, and chance...

Just as example, say, if ErdÃs did not have that type of personality, he would not have met so many in the field, and thus would not have contributed to that amount... Same goes for Einstein and lot of others...
They were just likable people, so others probably told them everything there was to be told...

Genoius is the same as Entrepreneur: people say, look at him he did so much for us, but really, there is little information of how they got the tools to do it, or the money to buy them... Or how they got the information of what was needed to be done...

In the end, every generation waits for their own Jesus...

"Tesla store staff, for example, can't tell visitors how much a Model S costs."

How is this related to free speech laws?

"Tesla store staff, for example, can't tell visitors how much a Model S costs."

Can they not make private club, with no fee to join? As club member one should be able to use the equipment needed for club activities...

How the hell can these "social" sites become so imortant that they blot out any sun on their sky? Is there nothin more important for them than that in the entire life?

Also, we lament the death of these girls, but who the fuck wants these kinds of woman to be their mother, yes? What kind of man will they attract in life?
They are faulty, from the factory. Scrap and order new one...

who proctects the wild, are we?

It is not a matter of students making study. They do not know advanced anatomy and neural signal processing, so its a waste anyways.
With to much freedom at hand, it is a matter of ego, conquest, and humiliation of the loosers and the trash. To do what they can get away with.

So many universities around the world had put a lot of work into CS since WW2...
There are better ways of programming or designing hardware. For the sake of tax payers money, if nothing else, there should be a mandated change in paradigm... But no...

Instead we keep tha same old stuff and hire clowns and morons to maintain it.

" With their hormones at war, and facing complex social pressures even within their peer group, boys can feel overwhelmed. It's easier just to hide away until the storm passes."

Without intention to insult, you sound like a woman describing women.
As a men, i would say, sometimes the battel is lost before it begins, and I now give 2 examples:
1 - a money issue: the boy simply can not afford the stuff others seem to have, to BUY himself popularity. Thus, he gives up.
2 - not a psycopath: normally, I claim, even selfrespect is earned. When he comes to his 20:ies, he sees that he can not play any music instrument, does not have black belt, is not educated, can't write poetry, can't dance... and os on.
So, he might draw the conclusion that he trew away his life, and nothing matters anymore.

example:
Abstract Computing Machines, Werner Kluge - organizing computations from lambda calculus perspective
Complex Variables (Dover Books on Mathematics), Francis J. Flanigan - good book on complex analysis
Graphs, Networks & Algorithms, Dieter Jungnickel - as the title says, applied math

so we can enjoy the short time we have to live... or am i missing something here?
AHHH yes, the establisheed values, they are threatened... the horro and the shame...

I think we will just have to learn to live with ourselves, and mother nature, ot die out. There is really no other option.

That is the problem we have here. The old folk who did shed blood for thier freedom saw it as achievement.
Then later, government upgraded "freedom" to "freedom and safety", and made it a service.
Now, people are born into a world, not knowing that some had fought for it to be like that, it is just a service they have the right to.
Now, these modern folks will not fight, because they would fight those that provide the service and the safety. Even if "freedom" is not included in the service any more, at least "safety" will.

Why bother with this crap here? You know that you are all cowards.

that is, a politician never mentions any knowledge about say agriculture, military strategy, ecosystem, medicine...

There are 3 impossibile to evade traps in showing knowledge as a leader:
1 - in the west U are tagged communist, and I do not joke.
2 - Never talk about work, or work within a field, only talk about "creating jobs" - the reason is that the world is difficult, and there are a lot of cunning folks out there who see it as an oppurtunity to ask really difficult or troublesome questions... In the eyes of the crowd, not being able to answer only sinks you in their eyes...
3 - If you, as a leader, talk about the particulars, you take away the dream, and leave nothing but reality.... And lets face it, in reality we got some tools, a limited time to live, and eachother... Scary...

there are also shift of paradigms in science...
example: new types of coprocessor, new compiler technology, new math!... and so on...

also as example: the Poem@home protein folding project: the GPU:s calculated so fast, that the human resources was not enough to deal with the results...

we will make what we need, when the need is _urgent_ enough :)

Firefox does not load pages after some 100+ tabs...

I click on some article, say I will read it some time later, then go on... 5-10 tabs a day like that, they add up...
Some online Anime pages, wikipedia, Ars, slashdot, god knows what else...

so, yeah, 1500+

"We are in the midst of implementing recommendations by our internal and external technology experts, but it is too soon to know how quickly this will improve system performance." bwwwaaahahahahahahaha

...and ofc you will give back the oil and unmake CIA meddling in politics? so that u can finally live in peace?

I know that some animals/fish/insects are extra sensitive to various fhenomena: electric filelds emmited by animals (hammerhead sharks), magnetic field of earth (birds, cats...), others are sensitive to vibrations (catfish), some others to sound or heat... What can You tell about the sensory system of deep sea creatures?
