#胡说八道
有个段子说：有人问欧几里得，几何有什么用。欧几里得回头跟随从说，给丫的几个银币，丫居然想从几何学那里获益。
这个段子影响我很深：首先我觉得从不同的「有用」定义出发，理工科也可以是没用的。
其次就是我觉得「xxx有没有用」的答案也不重要。重要的是为什么要问这个问题——欧几里得就回避了这个问题。而且我觉得按当前的生产力，我们容得下一些人做无用之学。

A project of our size needs at least a few hundred million dollars per year to keep going,” Mr. Durov wrote in his public channel on Telegram late last year. “While doing that, we will remain independent and stay true to our values, redefining how a tech company should operate.
The super secure UAE-based Telegram messenger service, developed by Russian-born software icon Pavel Durov, is looking to raise $1bn through a bond placement to a limited number of investors from Russia, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the Kommersant daily reported citing unnamed sources on February 18, 2021.The issue reportedly comprises exchange bonds that could be converted into equity in the messaging service that is currently 100% owned by Durov and his brother Nikolai.Kommersant reports that the price of the conversion would be at a 10% discount to a potential IPO should it happen within five years.The minimum bond placement is said to be set at $50mn, but could be lowered to $10mn. Five-year bonds could carry an annual coupon of 7-8%.
