Would they really? I bet most people wouldn't want to go into space. A lot of people can now bungee-jump, fly their own planes, fly in a balloon, paraglide, deep dive, yet how many do any of these things.

Well the USSR used over 30 million people as slave labor in their gulags, which were mostly involved in construction works and natural resources extraction. That can certainly advance things.

That's not at all what the article says. Naturally, it is good that the stock market goes up, i.e., the values of the companies goes up, if it's because of improved performance. The author argues the stock market is increasing mor

Internet speeds are usually measured in bits though, and include the protocols overhead, not just the final bytes transferred in HTTP. Right now my download speed is 10.62Mbps and upload speed is 13.38Mpbs. That is some heavy throttling in

Of course you could do anything, it is a very touristic city and Spain forces Castilian spanish to be taught in schools. Also, you can tell the polls are not that favorable or the central govmt would have made a referendum on the issue.

If the laws are good, if I agree with the means and the ends, then I do not mind the wrong people defending it, or for the wrong reasons. So let's all sustain for a second our disbelief and ignore all the value judgments, governments a

And is there anything at all wrong with separatism?

Are you serious? Because I'm pretty sure there is some random "user experience checkbox" checked by default that somehow means some of the data is sent to Google so they can "improve their products and services" and

I think that a lot of people miss the point that most people don't care about updates. Most people want a phone that does the same thing when it was bought and as many years later as possible, as the battery allows. It's the same

It's time people realize that a great deal of scientific papers are just written as a requirement to finish a masters/doctors degree, or are just about meeting the yearly publication quotas of the department. I know very proficien

I really, really, do not understand why some people's reaction to this is trying to get him fired or to apologize. Right here we have one human being that will ponder on random issues and offer his honest opinion. He will do it without

I don't get what the author is complaining about. That there are too many aspiring musicians? That there is not enough public demand? I see the meritocracy working perfectly here, on average the richest students had the best training a
