I appreciate the explanation, although I'm still not entirely sure I agree with the analogy. I saw both the financial and personal toll that navigating the immigration system took on my parents, it was a constant source of stress in th

I agree, I'd like to see more concrete stats when statements like this are made. Of course, I would request similar stats for the contention the other commenter made saying that fights are rare.

I've found it interesting that in the press recently, you will usually find some discussion about privacy concerns regarding companies like Facebook/Google, but I very rarely see any mention of the privacy implications of credit c

I appreciate your response, but still disagree on some things. I'm not necessarily convinced that Obama was as thoughtful as he's made out to be. He's certainly more polished than many politicians but underneath that veneer h

With the exception of denying the validity of science, couldn't most of those things be said about President Obama and most mainstream Democrats as well, particularly in regards to issues like mass surveillance?

I'm also incredibly careful with my phones, almost to the point of not really being able to enjoy them for the first few weeks because I'm overly cautious. Nonetheless, my Nexus 5 suffered from the power button issue that seems to

Are you sure you're looking at the 2013 Nexus 5 and not the newer Nexus 5X which is also made by LG? I owned the older 2013 Nexus 5 for two years until upgrading to a Nexus 6p, which I am still happily using. The N5 was a great phone,

Sadly, I don't really think that intelligence is necessarily a hedge against bad governance or poor ethics. I certainly dislike the every man populist anti-intellectualism I see in US politics, particularly on the Republican side, but

You're right, I probably should have just said its not too tactical for my taste. It definitely won't be suited for everyone's style though. I wouldn't mind getting a more minimalist backpack but I've gotten so used

I share your overall dissatisfaction with the USA's disastrous foreign interventions, and while I agree that Gore probably wouldn't have invaded Iraq, I'm quite certain he would have invaded Afghanistan. And I see no reason t

I'm going to have to chalk this all up to virtue signaling. Where were all of these heroic freedom fighters during the last eights years of unprecedented mass surveillance and growing executive power? But now that Trump and his insane

I'd be curious what that level of money would do to the culture at SpaceX. I work here as a tech and I get the impression from top to bottom that a big part of the overall culture centers around doing things as inexpensively as possibl

The two Su-27s that Pride Aircraft acquired and certified were big news when they were publicly put on sale around 2009-2010 but I'm not sure if they were actually bought by the USAF or a private company to do contracted DACT.

I don't believe so, or at least I've never heard about Russian F-16s. Iran still flies some old F-14s though. The USAF seems to be pretty strict about not allowing more modern fighters to end up in private hands. There are a numbe

The USAF has a long history of acquiring foreign aircraft[1], sometimes through defectors, other times by purchasing them from foreign militaries. I don't know the source of the Su-27's in question here but I believe the USAF acqu

That certainly may play a part in the reasoning but I doubt it's a more pressing concern than the death toll and economic destruction that South Korea would face if full on war broke out. Not to mention that even if N. Korea were to be
