Post-2015 Sweden is quite difficult to immigrate to if you aren't doing it via a skilled employment visa. The requirements, along with the amount of time it takes to get simple things working properly (like a social security number and

My prediction is a mass exodus from the NPT by the non-nuclear weapon states if the 2020 Review Conference goes to hell. Which I think is likely when considering the disintegrating state of modern nuclear arms control agreements and the nuc

While many states do explore what is called 'nuclear hedging' where they remain non-nuclear but conduct research and development to shorten the potential time of their nuclear breakout (a contemporary example being Iran), South Af

Last time I checked South Africa got rid of their nukes in 1989 and has yet to deviate from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty it acceded to in 1991. It also recently ratified the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Do you know

I am kinda surprised no one has mentioned Tinderbox by eastgate systems! (1) Beck Tench (2) has a brilliant youtube series (3) about how she uses tinderbox with the zettlekasten method to create associations between various notes. She also

Could someone elaborate on what the use cases would be for something like this? I understand it will carry small items you buy off Amazon prime but that can't be the end of the roadmap for drone based delivery, can it?

In regards to your last point about being patient, both the US and China know that waiting an additional 20-30 years will be at the detriment of China as they cannot compete with US population replacement levels. Compare the following graph

Cool idea! Do you think you could extend the intervals it sends out emails? I, for one, would really appreciate being able to have a weekly digest of links that I could check out on the weekend instead of a daily email.

For a long time I've had this idea about creating a website where this type of idea is expressed. I envision it to be some large hierarchical tree like structure (not unlike the ones you see in games like FInal Fantasy) where you pick

I find it interesting that many here reading these comments base their professional lives within the STEM fields but yet are so ardent to support the post-modernist philosophers who believe reason to be an absurd meta-physical starting poin

Reconcile, despite its economic association, can also mean to 'come to terms with' something, i.e. to accept that this man has passed away.

I don't really see how the article title is misleading when you view it as a play on the classic wisdom of the crowds model. Moderate polarisation creates more diverse opinions which makes the Wikipedia pages better because they presen

You know how a tyrant acts when he is losing control of his empire? He starts getting really insecure and conspiratorial. America's unipolar moment has passed and it's about time they acknowledge it instead of continuing to drown

I do the same thing with studying at Uni. Having all my articles, notes, syllabi and seminar instructions in scrivener has been really effective as it means I simply open up the app I full screen and start working. Scriveners split screen l
