Political will to redistribute the people? You must know that that's how it worked/works in socialist countries. You still need a permit in China to move to another city, AFAIK.

I honestly don't see why this is a problem. I use my straw, or my coffee cup, or whatever, and I throw it in a trash can. It's not going to hurt any marine mammals unless you, the city government, go and dump it into the sea. So d

Sadly, all the quirky Chilean (?) crustaceans have been displaced by the rising price of mud.

The Sagrada Familia was attacked by anarchists during the Spanish Civil War, who destroyed Gaudí's study and the plans and models for the church. Decades were spent just reconstructing the project before actual construction could resum

They did it on purpose. Now they have to amend and reprint the stamp, and destroy all the old batches. Except for a couple of sheets, which some insiders will hold on to, and which will eventually resurface as philatelic rarities...

Absolutely. Having suffered from German imperialism, Europeans understand that the only way to preserve their freedom is to allow it to be restricted as Germany sees fit.

Is it really such a big deal? It's not like they're _introducing_ regnal eras, it's just a new era name for the system they were already using. BTW, both this comment and the article hint at a connection with right-wing natio

Because it's counted by the value of the finished products even if most of the actual manufacturing is done abroad.

It's really pretty simple. "The jobs" didn't go to robots, they went to humans in China. Blaming automation is just a way to sweep under the rug the results of the last 20 years of American trade policy. Even if all thos

A couple of observations: 1) In the segmented model, the cross-segment elasticity limits the impact of high-end supply on lower-segment prices, but that applies just as much to the impact of _high-end demand_. Yet the same people who reject

It is not acceptable to publish an article on the crisis of scientific authority in 2019 and not mention the replication crisis (which is not limited to psychology). Robert P. Crease is no Galileo, he's just a preacher for a different

Whenever we're talking about mass transit, or communications, or trains, or pretty much any other piece of infrastructure, there are always lots of people saying that America can't do things like Europe does because it's huge

That part stood out to me, too. It's a phenomenon I've been noticing for a long time when talking to Americans (even here on HN), but I think this is the first time I've seen an American recognize it.

They also invariably evade taxes. Go wild on that downvote button, guys, but there's no need: everyone already knows it, and there is never going to be a political will to do something about it.

There are only three or four, aren't there? Actually, the one that leaves Paris at 10:37 and arrives in Milan at 17:50 could be attractive. If you're traveling on a weekday, you can just work on the train.

I don't think anybody takes the train between Paris and Milan. It takes over 7 hours, whereas you can fly in 1h30m. And flying can even be cheaper.
