If you subscribe to the point of view that Russia's war on Ukraine isn't actually about Ukraine, but about causing lasting pain in Europe, then this action is perfectly rational for Russia. It drives the market prices up (anything

Incredibly, this isn't actually true, though it's tempting to think so from looking at the shapes on the map. The border actually follows the Lusatian Neisse, and then the Oder river, except in the vicinity of the port city of Szc

Bigger cities typically regulate taxis and sell licenses to operate to taxi companies, who then employ or contract the drivers. Uber was always an unlicensed taxi scheme. Their planned business model was to ignore the law to reduce costs, t

There are no pipelines that cross the EU's external border that transport crude oil from outside the EU into the EU, except the ones that are fed from Russia. Before the UK left the EU, there was technically one such pipeline from Norw

I get why the OSI published this post. They have a vested interest in the conversation and I agree with their points. But the battle for the narrative has already been lost when people consider this to be a problem with 'open source&#x

Just as the article notes, free lots in out-of-the-way towns aren't too attractive because you still have to spend many dozens of thousands of dollars to put on a house on it, and then you live in an out-of-the-way town with few ways t

The cryptocurrency boom, like tulip mania, was always reliant on there being an endless supply of greater fools to which you could eventually offload these strange wares. And, if you were genuinely using this for peer-to-peer payments, and

The same conundrum comes up with the medical forms that ask one to self-report any post-partum depression, or any time you can be found mentally unfit (e.g. at your job, like in 2015 Germanwings pilot-murder-suicide) so that the bureaucracy

This essay is a thought-provoking read, because it critically analyzes riots by their characteristics and compatibility with classic Western political thought. It comes very close to making the assertion that once a demonstration attains &#

The situation is complicated. Some EU member states are pro-nuclear, and some are anti-nuclear. In each state, the predominant popular sentiment may not actually match the current government's policy, but it usually does. France is the

Yes, but this happens for everything, not just articles about nuclear waste. Lots of headlines sound bad devoid of a point of comparison, and lots of articles, reports, and statistics can be mistaken as alarming in isolation, without unders
