The mention of the KGB considering supporting terrorists to prop up oil prices is interesting to me. If the Russian state today was ever truly facing a economic crisis, it seems as though this would be very easy for Putin to do. He came to

You can't just append "out of thin air" to standard monetary policy and pretend you're making some kind of argument. Everything you describe in the comment you linked to is sophomore level economics. I don't underst

We need to raise taxes, specifically on the people in charge of DOGE. You think that's what the plan's going to be?

I have a few degrees in economics. You have absolutely zero idea what you're talking about if you think a US default would have the economy "continue working as before". A US default would make the 08 financial crisis look li

I've always wondered if we'll ever see a paradigm shift toward services being hosted on our phones. Not feasible now due to battery life concerns, but these are little Linux computers with redundant (wifi plus cellular) network co

Every gay person I know, myself included, is on prep. From the VP at a Fortune 500 on down to a coffeeshop barista. Cost is not an issue, at least not in the United States.

"Average Joe" thinks he knows more political science than people who went to school. Inadvertently demonstrates why it's so easy to manipulate the public into voting against their own self interests while convincing them they

Ah yes the old "we shouldn't fix anything because people will do it more and it'll be a wash" argument. Complete nonsense. Your argument is, essentially, saying that we shouldn't make airplanes safer because if we d

Ah yes good thing gas stations have an infinite supply of fuel ready to go that'll never need to be replenished in the face of unprecedented demand. Also we're very lucky that gasoline is such a stable material that it'll sur

How many more millions are these companies going to flush down the toilet before they get it through their heads that normal people do not like wearing technology on their face? 3D TVs failed. VR gaming failed. Even Apple isn't really

Ah yes. Some people use airplanes so we need to keep burning coal, who cares when the sea levels rise and the water wars begin! The important thing is that some people acted silly by gluing themselves to the road! Can't give in to them

I think it's more interesting that Apple creates this reaction where people will endlessly harp on about things that happened over a decade ago under different leadership (holding it wrong) any time they update their products.

It sounds like you had a very bad experience but to say that "in most places in the US" the education system is a complete joke is projection.

Well it does actually have faster wireless charging and better battery life but ooookay. I buy a new phone every year because I'm rich, I love technology, and this is a device I use for a significant portion of every single day.

I keep the charger plugged into my computer. I slap the watch onto the charger every morning as I drink my coffee and read my e-mails/news. It's... not difficult to imagine...

The iPod Classic when the iPhone came out had a CPU estimated to run around 80 Mhz vs. a 600 Mhz chip underclocked to 400 Mhz in the original iPhone. The software is also completely different. They didn't build it on the iPod platform

It sounds like they're setting themselves up for a mass exodus of talent when the stock inevitably falls.

This kind of unrealistic thinking from up on a high horse is exactly what I'd expect from a former HIV counselor/educator, hence our historic inability to get this virus under control.

The shrill response to this minor correction makes me wonder... are people reacting this way because social media has broken our brains and we have to freak out about everything for the likes? Or is this due to roughly half of the populatio
