I think that the factor for Europe is immigration. A majority of new Europeans are Muslims and that is by far the fastest growing religion.

Come to Canada, you will be penalized so hard you'll wish the public health care system covered pre-crisis mental health. The good news is that because gender is a social construct, no one can challenge your assertion that you are in f

Because not all societies enshrine individual freedom as their primary value. China has historically valued orderliness, collective well-being, and personal sacrifice. This sucks from a Western perspective, but it also means that a great

There seem to be many unique things to this year though: * Apple announces it will no longer report unit sales. This is a clear shift in strategy. * Orders have been cut not once, but twice. * Suppliers have been slaughtered in earnings re

It's not that Wall Street will take over. It's that Silicon Valley has become Wall Street but it doesn't realize it yet. It still thinks it's those counter-culture rebels hacking away in a garage, building products for

Yes, the 2018 MBPs with "fixed" keyboards still fail. Slightly less than pre-"fix", but still exponentially more than pre-2016 MBPs. If you get one, you really want to have an external keyboard around because it will fa

This sums it up. Apple has built up a lot of good will over the last decade or so. It will take a while for current Apple to burn through it.

The Jesuit approach was to teach people about Catholicism through all aspects of life, not just reading the Bible. Plays, music, and almost anything you could imagine would be created in order to teach people about Christ [1]. The end res

Well you know, if perhaps HR reviewed it's practices and didn't make discriminating against men a point of pride, then perhaps there would be less "failure-to-launch".

Unfortunately those bureaucrats are actually doing work. A good chunk of it is around Title IX since the consequences were so severe if you didn't have enough bureaucrats to handle the extra-judicial pseudo-tribunals to handle any sex

It's funny how "the keyboard" actually identifies a number of issues, of which only one has been fixed: 1. The Memebar ("TouchBar") is thankfully gone. 2. If a single molecule of dust gets under a key, the key has
