The ones that pay their taxes fully.

So the US/Israel starts random wars and everyone else is expected to just automatically join in? Lol.

Spot on.

>But if it does not solve it, will you really wager 30 years of your life on the possibility that you might be smarter than the AI?

Sure. Just because current technology can't prove or disprove something, doesn't mean it can't ever be proven or disproven.

Please provide evidence for your claims.

>There is museum in London called the British Museum which has zero artifacts on display from Britain

That's not true at all. What's your agenda?

Chess is kept afloat by chess players, not by billionaires. If all the billionaire backers stopped sponsoring tournaments, people like me would still play, still pay for chess club memberships, still pay entry fees for tournaments, and still buy chess books, and so on.

The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton is written primarily in English but has a lot of Latin and some Greek in it. To read it properly and fully, you would need to know all three languages.

Cheers!

Name some brands please.

Coursera stinks now. Extremely slow load times, annoying AI chatbot that takes up the right half of the screen on the landing page, and a lot of courses that were free are now behind a paywall.

Nitpick: Iranians didn't invent chess. Four player chess called Chaturanga was developed in India, then it was picked up by the Iranians (in Farsi, it's Shatranj) and later the Arabs (at some point here, it became a 2 player game). Then the Spanish picked it up from the Arabs. The Spanish and the Italians buffed the Queen and Bishop allowing these two pieces much greater movement, and this is chess as we know it today.

Some more free ones:

Abstract Algebra by Judson - https://judsonbooks.org/abstract-algebra-theory-and-applicat...

Linear Algebra by Hefferon - https://hefferon.net/linearalgebra/

Real Analysis by Lebl - https://www.jirka.org/ra/

Differential Equations by Lebl - https://www.jirka.org/diffyqs/

These should be enough to give you a first and second year undergrad level education in mathematics (minus stats&probability).

A chatter linked HN on #commonlisp on freenode back in 2011.

My HN viewing habit: check frontpage quickly (only the frontpage, rarely beyond that), check "new" for 5-6 pages to see if anyone has posted something cool, and then lastly check "active" and go through every page because that's where the interesting discussions are.

I used to think the frontpage was natural and unadulterated but then I learned that dang, tomhow, et al "curate" the frontpage, so you essentially see what they want you to see, but with "active" there's less of that.

Who remembers milw0rm.com?

These banks and consultancy companies just hoover up all the talent and bright minds from our best institutions. You wouldn't believe the amount of Oxbridge grads I've met who now work at McKinsey&Co, Jane Street, etc. This is why we're faltering in STEM when compared to China. Our brightest don't become mathematicians, physicists, chemists, engineers, and so on anymore. Instead they become bankers and consultants at vampiric companies, with the sole goal to make rich people richer.

>In a typical American or British arithmetic textbook of the same period ...

British students were taught from Euclid's Elements until around the 1970s, so he's wrong.

For me, it's The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Simpsons and Malcolm in the Middle. Those are the shows I watched as a kid and I'll love them forever.

I've used them for pwncollege CTFs but pwncollege is way below your level (I've seen some of your write ups before).

Bombing people (including kids) is not "trimming the grass".

>on the Christian and Jewish sides, it's led by people who have no sincere belief in the respective religions, but hijack it for their personal power.

Have you read the Old Testament? It's full of war.

When I get sleep paralysis, I either see shadows or aliens (the typical Hollywood grey ones with big heads) surrounding my bed.

I did this as a teen but I wasn't trying to meditate. I just wanted to listen to my favourite albums without any distractions. Anyway, I'd almost always fall asleep. How do you stay awake?

You might like the British TV show Grand Designs.

For the most part, he plays normal openings. If he does play something offbeat, it's because he's trying to avoid prep.

Plus huge amounts of braindrain from all over the world after WW2 (originally from Europe, but nowadays mainly from India and China).

Their sons however!

No such thing as a shortage of workers, just a reluctance to train natives and pay them liveable wages. Note they mention "skilled workers" then show a lorry driver and a baker. Young Germans can drive lorries and bake bread. These aren't particularly skilled jobs. When I read "skilled worker" in my mind I think semiconductor expert from TSMC who has decades of expert knowledge and experience, not a lorry driver. No offense to any lorry drivers on here.

Maybe he's saying those things because he has a horse in the game i.e. his bank account(s).
