Time changes. Cultures, laws… Absolutely all that changes. Data, that history gathers, can’t be used for prediction. At least the precision won’t be better than if you will just analyze your current situation. Absurd is trying to predict the future from fairy tails about kings and dragons.
That’s the question I can’t answer. Really, I can’t formulate a really nice definition of usefulness. But still I can’t think of any use for history. Except maybe fun as in “literature”. But being fun doesn’t justify its teaching at school. Drinking alcohol is fun too, but…
There are many other actually useful studies for that. Math excels in that.
That’s strange logic. I just want people to analyze the current situation with modern tools, not referring to some ancient legends.
They are useless. History is useless by definition; and philosophy has reached the peak of its usefulness somewhere in the middle of the XIX century and can’t do better anymore. Like alchemy, which was useful at some point.
That happens with classes like history or philosophy, the ones that are considered to be mostly useless blablabla.
Vatican Programmer: Oh, mighty Lord, sitting in the Sky, show me the way to this bug I seek and eliminate ineffectiveness. Amen.
Trump: A golden science of deals. Lesson 1. You pay me and I won’t hurt you much…
“Pirating” isn’t stealing regardless of anything. It is unsanctioned copying.
Authors will receive next to nothing too :) Only publishers.
Haven’t used anything Microsoft in a decade but I do remember that there were some certificates for executables… Are they mandatory nowadays?
Leave PCs out of this console nonsense. On PC you can write whatever you want to whatever media you want by yourself, without kissing some Nintendo-Sony ass.
Neighbours do that for thousands of years. Data centers are at least somewhat useful…
Facefuckingpalm. Ok, whatever.
The Bond market is even more junk. SpaceX is doing at least something, while the bond market is just moving money from one pocket to another without producing anything at all.
Phone? No. But the CEO’s yacht is.
Depends on the software part. If there will be freedom of compiling\installing arbitrary software then yes. I’m sure in this case it would be full of very interesting things in no time. But if it would be “fenced” like META does with their VR headsets, then those glasses would be almost useless.
People do not hate glasses. All that hatred exists only in small hysteria bubble. Put a $100 price on them and in a few days half of people would use them.
People do too. And history is ALL about fairy tales.
