Nuclear weapons and ICBMs to deliver them are the most obvious difference. The world in general is just so different than it was 70 years ago that it doesn't make sense to take the stance of "assume things are the same unless give

And yet for all those barriers, Chinese consumers still can't get enough of the latest Apple products. mrb is exactly right. US companies CAN sell in China, if they figure out how to, and some have.

Obvious answer: switch to a subscription-based model. They are already doing it with Office.

The assertion is based on the idea that this thing you did is a reflection on who you are, so people who interact with you have a right to know about it so they can judge you by it. I agree that in this specific instance, it was the job of

It's not the jury's job to discredit a bad expert witness, the opposing side should be doing that in cross examination.

You could say the same thing about anything people do in secret. Yet many people still want privacy.

No, it's more than Zenimax owns not only the code Carmack wrote while he was there, but also the design on which that code was based. If there were literal design documents written up, I think we would all agree that is clearly true. W

Those can both be true simultaneously - the president asked for something, and ended up implementing something slightly different - because what he originally asked for was likely unconsitutional.

1. That was a lost cause as soon as Trump was elected. Or arguably, nominated. And although I can appreciate that it might be better for the country if we didn't look capricious and incompetent even when we are, if we are, then it&#x27

Good advice. Thanks for the tip.

No, the presence of immigrants who have political views that disagree with me would be even better. As for why let people in from poor countries, because we are siphoning off the most educated and ambitions people from that country, who bri

The movement of labor and ideas also means that there is no shortage of educated people to speak out against said orange demagogue's terrible policies. And most peoples' postmortems of the election agree that the election was clos

I would say that is because, in the past, "work remotely" wasn't a viable option. Today, that sounds like a much better option than a war of conquest. To me, at least.

Interesting, I would have called it a good example of how moving fast and breaking things is OK even for government action. It's only been two days and it's already been amended to allow green card holders to enter again, and seve

Most didn't according to a metric that's not the metric that is actually used to select the president and thus candidates and parties don't try to optimize for. As for the other point, agree to disagree.

I don't think the policy itself is good either, I'm just saying that the idea of implementing policy now, even if it has bugs, might be preferable to letting the perfect be the enemy of the good to the point where we do nothing ab

Dictatorial and authoritarian are not necessarily negatives. Calls for a businessman to cut through the red tape and run the government more efficiently are almost as old as American democracy itself. Call it whatever you like, we knew th

That's not true at all. Most tech companies, like uber or tindr, are fundamentally aimed at ruining certain people's lives. And even when it's not intentional, it still happens, whether it's a bug that is effectively sla

That's both literally and figuratively backwards. You're describing a scenario where the relationship between the countries becomes so hostile that we have to worry about what happens if one of us cuts off the flow of talent. But

That has some huge problems which we've all seen this weekend, but in the long run, is that really worse than the old style of decades of inaction and debate topped off by an ineffectual bill that does nothing? It's pretty similar

There's no reason the US should have any leverage over China. This isn't the 1800s.

That's one of the big benefits of slack, but many organizations don't use it - you have to think to reach out to the person by calling or emailing, or you are scheduling a virtual meeting with something like webex.

Calling humans "normal" persons is organonormative. The appropriate terminology is "meatbag".

A VAT does tax all of those in a perfectly sensible way. A business income tax arguably works as well. The point here is that robots are displacing humans, causing less money to be paid into targeted social programs that are funded based on
