    Irrelevent. You are comparing Euclidean Geometry to Spherical Geometry. Apples to oranges.

    Dontcha mean "apples to pancakes"?

    I was thinking more of this part:

    Toe bone connected to the foot bone
    Foot bone connected to the heel bone
    Heel bone connected to the ankle bone
    Ankle bone connected to the shin bone
    Shin bone connected to the knee bone
    Knee bone connected to the thigh bone
    Thigh bone connected to the hip bone ...

    Example:

    If Chrome crashes I use Edge then
    If Edge crashes I use FireFox then
    If Firefox crashes I use BlueMoon then...

    For long-term job security, either get into AI / machine learning / anything to do with automation

    It's possible we are in an AI bubble*, so be careful, because in the shorter term you still have to pay the bills.

    I would suggest you pick 3 areas that pique your interest and explore them deeper, including asking practitioners. After you know the 3 better, then select 1 to focus on in a formal career sense.

    By the way, genetics/data-biology seems like it has a bright future: it doesn't smell as bubbly as AI, yet gene scanning is growing ever cheaper such that there will be tons of genetic data to analyze. We will soon get to the point where it's economical to scan the entire DNA of an individual patient.

    * AI is not going away, but we may hit a wall or two where too much money is chasing too few practical results for a few years and investors lose patience, pulling the plug on tons of R&D, sending AI researchers flooding the resume boards.

    There's not a single browser on the market today that I would actively recommend.

    At least we have backup choices. If Chrome crashes, we have Edge. If Edge crashes, we have FireFox. If FireFox crashes, we have PaleMoon. If PaleMoon crashes, we have Lynx. If Lynx crashes, we have Emacs. (Emacs has a browser, doesn't it? It has everything else.)

    Extra points if you rework "Dem Bones" song for this.

  10. You'd enjoy Python code shaped liked goatse?

  11. We'll see how China deals with terrorism as it gets more influential...

    The US is becoming more of a police state while China becomes more capitalist.

    Those are not mutually exclusive. China is both, just like Singapore. As long as you focus on business, they leave you alone. As soon as you touch politics, POOF!

    China is 1/3 of the world. That means 1/3 of the world's best research and most advanced weapons will be Chinese. If you want to see a model for the future of the world, look at China.

    So we need lots of people to compete? Let's take down our walls and make China pay for it!

  18. at the heart of Beijing's plan to dominate cutting-edge technologies...known as Made in China 2025.

    China having an initiative to have more things "Made in China" is silly in that 90% of everything we flip over already says "Made in China" on the bottom.

    It would be like a Microsoft initiative to "Have Microsoft on Every Business PC!"

    Buying a copy for each kid or computer is indeed asking too much of a teacher. But, perhaps they could buy 1 or 2 copies and rotate student lab time for it.

  23. Indeed. While they haven't yet, if they did, it would be big and nasty. They've been getting aggressive lately over disputed islands, and are constantly threatening Taiwan. Unlike democracies, they can order tens of millions to war and few would challenge the decision.
