Not American and my culture is all about massive childbirth, but this sentiment seems strange to me. How does that solve the problem? If your panda bears are failing to breed, surely the solution is not to just import grizzly bears and pret

No, you're completely politicizing an issue based on your warped world view. That's just as damaging as fake news. Here's an article from 2014 discussing fake news: https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2014&#

Probably not, but why is that so far fetched? They'd just need to be dissolving it with chemicals, backed up by a neural network to identify the sequence (rat's brain, anyone?). That's kind of how smell works in general to be

I don't understand. So you have no problem with those donations to foundations run by your political candidates? Also while you stated that donations to political candidates is illegal, is it illegal to buy adverts for political candid

I've found that every message surrounding environmentalism from all angles - either for or against - is almost always propaganda. People without some sort of bone in the game have long since dropped out of the ironically toxic discussi

So the difference for you is that Russians purchasing adverts is a hostile act, but Russians giving donations to organisations controlled by one of your politicians would not be a hostile act? I have to say I can't begin to understand

As a non-American, I haven't understood why this issue is about Russians to start with. Aren't there many countries who donated large sums of money to American politics [1]? Also if Russian adverts are having such a huge effect on

I feel it's more a case of functional programming trying to target the wrong segment - albeit out of necessity. There's two kinds of programs being made. First most common one is the kind you're talking about here: grunt work

They want to slowly sell off their stock so as not to affect the price too much. If they sold nothing, they'd make no money off bitcoin and eventually when they did want to sell, the effect would be so huge as to crash the entire curre

Most of SO's operations are something I would not like to fund. I'd be happy to donate for their core service, but that's really only 10% or less of their headcount. Who funds the other 90% and why would they want to? SO is t

Is it really the crowd becoming intelligent or stupid, or just that we are agreeing or disagreeing with the crowd and conflating that with the intelligence of the crowd? As a quick test to try and determine this: try to think of occasions w
