I don't know the specifics of the people in the article, but examples like Cédric Villani demonstrate that it's not OK to be rash in one's judgment.

I haven't seen any evidence that birthrates have anything to do with having a high income in developed economies. All the evidence I have seen points in the other direction, where when women's education and career are de-emphasize

Education of tourists is something that should be required in lots of other places too. Speaking from an Indian perspective, foreigners coming here should be told about what kind of food is safe to eat, what kinds of people to not trust,

I don't know which recent stories you're talking about. I have read only one story here recently, and it was about an outdated version of Julia. Compare these two: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/bench

To anyone who can understand Urdu or Hindi, it's trivially easy to find speeches of terrorist leaders on YouTube. Hundreds of thousands of people have watched instigating speeches of Masood Azhar, Ilyas Ghuman, Israr Ahmad, hundreds of

No criteria. I think the problem is with the low number of seats available. A similar quality of education can be made available at a much larger scale if the country is so motivated. It's understandable that not all branches of engine
