When the first three leaders named are the top 3 enemies/adversaries of the US/Britain - Putin, Xi and Assad - my own little conspiracy canary started chirping. Is the leak because they are adversaries, or are they adv

I don't know if this is the case for the parent post, but some people use LibreOffice while referring to it as OpenOffice. I personally use LibreOffice quite a bit, but something about the name sounds silly to me, so I avoid speaking i

The point is to avoid the problem, rather than to stumble into a state from which it is difficult to restore the status quo ante. Please do not mistake "anticipating risks" for "fear of uncertainty and the unknown." Th

Yep. That's roughly the upper limit of the range that I think would make sense for a nationwide basic income, and even that wouldn't fully cover Social Security or lift everyone out of Medicaid eligibility. (I don't think it

That would serve a somewhat different purpose than Social Security—a lower income throughout life rather than a higher income in retirement. Regardless, though, it seems like there should be relatively elegant options for achieving both obj

There are two US spacecraft in sight: SpaceX's Dragon and Boeing's CST-100 Starliner. That's what the article is about. (Well, there is a third US human spacecraft in sight, but I suspect it will be irrelevant compared with t

That's not why Congress is funding Commercial Crew insufficiently. They're up to a different game. Delaying Commercial Crew won't help ULA much—the looming (latest) threat to ULA by SpaceX is reusability of the Falcon 9 first
