I sincerely doubt anyone doubts the capabilities of western nations to take high res pictures with some of the thousands of satellites they have access to. Providing Intel might leak information about it's sources yes, which is always

In my opinions, the more interesting question is why is the response in this war so fast and comprehensive... and my guess would be that it has the unified political willpower of most western nations behind it. Poland, Germany, France have

I don't want to comment on reforming of the UN because I honestly do not know enough about the apparatus/system and what changes might lead to which consequences. Regarding your comment "would much rather prefer fixing the UN

I think 1. and 2. are very similar as you describe in that they believe what they pick up and have a difficult time challenging concepts the deeper these sit in their belief system of everything physical and otherwise. The difference I see

If the subs being nuclear was the problem I'm sure french would have arranged for that. I can't find a source for this but the submarines in question are essentially refitted from being nuclear to diesel-electro for the export to

The incentives for marriage in society today (atleast here) make this less of a financially viable thing: - less social pressure to get married than for my grandparents - less financial incentive through tax benefits already applying if you

Being german, I think it's pretty harsh too.. I developed a little slower in school and just got lucky that the school I was in basically took everyone that passed the grade into the path towards higher education. From my understanding

I hope my use of the word "provocative" didn't cause you to get flagged here. It was provocative enough for me to respond, which I don't consider a bad thing. I'm surprised of the harsh moderating here on HN and wil

I think posting on twitter is a valid way to deal with this. Making this public helps to raise awareness for businesses to pay attention to their business processes in regards to payment release. I remember being told that the process of pa

This seems "easy" to manipulate. Crying on demand is (in my experience) quite close to feeling those emotions by remembering certain situations in your life that will produce the emotions your looking to act out. So I doubt it wou

I'm german and it's not only about disasters such as Fukushima and Tschernobl. Those may have shaped public opinion a lot but there is more. There is not a single in production long term storage for nuclear waste in Europe[1],[2].

Your perspective on self replicating nano bots as well as some other comments I have read here paint a picture of immense change in a short time once the technology is released into the wild. This view seems to ignore the fact that the capa
