I'm not so much referring to the economy right now necessarily. That will be affected, but the population pyramid is just one of many other factors, it's not a great proxy for the long-term sustainability of the welfare state and

This is disgusting. If you're so modern, respect a people's right to self-determination. Respect their freedom from oppression. Respect their freedom of religion. Respect the many rights of peaceful muslims in China, rather than m

This, plus the effect the second hand market has. You can pick up older-gen iPad Air's for $180. The top brand tablets (e.g. Apple) will keep their performance really well. They don't struggle from laptop's getting filled wit

I'm not sure I completely agree with the economic argument, particularly because birth rates and wealthiness tend to move in opposite directions and because a comparative analysis doesn't show that strong welfare states which prot

Pretty much. Read Bourdieu's Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste, one of the key sociological texts of the past few decades. It essentially makes this argument using slightly different terminology.

Great news! I'm absolutely loving the third season, despite not really being a fan of the protomolecule concept. I know the series revolves around it. It's a bit like the white walkers in game of thrones. You go from the super int

US is definitely not the only 30y fixed country in the world... how many countries are you familiar with? For example, the Netherlands has done 30y since forever. Current rates are between 2.5% (best case) and 3% (worst case with 0 down) fo

I recall a few weeks ago how some researchers figured out that the voice-commands could be triggered with subliminal messages, too. i.e., you wouldn't have to go 'Ok Google', but rather just play a fingerprint of that sound t

You're misinterpreting my point. I didn't say you can't drive a car without being cautious. I said you can't drive it without constantly braking the moment you detect an object, irrespective of what the object is doing.

I have seen it. Check streetview too, it's helpful. I really hate to defend this position because I feel terrible for her and it's quite obvious uber made some very bad calls here. (in fact I even used the very loaded word murder

The detection at 6 seconds was just of an object though, not an object moving in to the car's path. You couldn't drive a car if you had to constantly break because objects (such as people standing by the road) were being detected.

Because more context makes for a more comprehensive story. Fact of the matter is, the person was not allowed to cross there. Not only was it not allowed [0], it was also extremely dangerous. Why would she do this? That's one part of th

Well for one, the price is down by 10% from last week. Whatever was priced in from those 'in the know' a week ago wasn't that big of a deal. Secondly, the theoretical expectation was always that the value should go to 0. i.e.

Sure but it doesn't solve anything. Remember that people do not trade token A for token A. You don't buy dollars with dollars. You use dollars to buy something else, like euros. So you may reverse one token, but you won't be

Nno other relatively homogenous market even comes close to US market size. The EU is great, a lot of regulations have been standardised, but it's still a place with 24 different languages, twelve different currencies, different nationa

The problem I think is that there are 25 cryptocurrencies bigger than it. Particularly with its form of mining, it's trivially easy for say a big player in the 10th largest currency to shift their mining power to a smaller one like Bit

It's pretty clear it hasn't done Amazon's reputation any favours. And there's no reason to think government officials won't go above and beyond in offering incentives behind closed doors.

That's a joke. Look at the Casablanca Stock Exchange, $70b. Egypt $400b. South African about $1 trillion. Daily volume is between $50 - $200 million or so. And no, not just European or Asian companies. Plenty of national infrastructure

Some thoughts on your points: 1. True, but not radically different from the rest of Africa. Further the PPP figure is about $1700, which is a bit more indicative of purchasing power / standard of wealth. 10% growth in Ethiopia may not
