  Lots of people here are interested in general business/market news.

  It's a hard problem. It's an immediate problem. It's an important problem. It's an economic and logistics problem. Hackers like hard, important problems. Also: ignore desperate, hungry people at your own peril. Hunger is not some sort of vague hand-wavey rich/poor gap concocted by a university professor with an agenda. It is an outright decrease in standard of living and it's something people will fight to restore.

        I base this claim on a stat I heard from an AF general. A) A very large portion of the Chinese population will be single, middle age males in the near future. B) China is becoming resource starved. C) Russia's population is rapidly decreasing compared to China's population. D) Russia has a lot of resources. So, just throwing that out there. Sounded intriguing.
