Well, the theory has not gone well at Cuba or Iran. If you hurt the people, the leaders will tell them that it's US fault, and the people will get mad at the US, because the leaders control the media and can convince the people of what

I would like to point that, although America doesn't have a monopoly on the crazy, is also a country that doesn't have an structured mental healthcare system. When you have easily available guns + mentally ill people roaming freel

Actually, that's probably what is going to happen. Google news will will continue operating, just without the spanish sources. Probably at some point some guy in some country without strong ties to spain (Probably not south america) is

Ah, Argentinian creative economics. I follow their developments from time to time just for the amazement value, this one is new for me, thank you. For those curious, here is an excellent article about its history, worth the read: (Paywall)

People have been living in those cold climates long, LONG, before modern heating systems. More than "laziness and disliking hot summers" I would say that humans will settle wherever are resources that can support them, period. An

My only bets are that this time Norway would be in the middle, they are sitting on a shitload of money, and Germany invades Poland, just for keeping traditions.

I understand how a fractured internet (In the physical sense, Europe here, US there, no easy interconnection) could lead to easier lives for politicians, but, How does a fractured google make that easier? I mean, where you had to deal with

Yeah, I have always chuckled at the irony that the apple followers criticize Nintendo for not releasing its IP on other platforms. Because, of course, I can install OS X on my custom computer and Safari on my Android. The strategy of Ninten

Well, that statement is generally true, but Turing appeared in a very sensitive moment of history (WWII) and was critical for a very special task (The decryption of the Enigma Machine). Computer science would probably be fine without him, b
