I dont think high skilled young workers, will be looking forward to taking care of the large number of old people, when Japan hits its population cliff. That probably will be a big sector demanding immigration.

I think both forms of categorization are useful and insightful in their own way. If we restrict ourselves to either one form, we are simply closing our minds and restricting our understanding of the matter. Why can't models be valid an

I think it is unfair to compare moon hoax theories (which intuitively make sense) to flat-earth theories (which can be intuitively disproven by anyone taking a flight on an airplane).

Do moon-landing hoax theorists believe that all landings were faked? Or just the original Apollo 11 landings.

The key takeaway from the article (at least IMO) is that police bodycams can be fooled/sabotaged in this manner to hide/alter evidence. Think about the countless cases out there, where there is no 3rd party footage to corroborate

Windows 10 or Windows 8? Regarding windows 8, its seems you need to purchase sideloading keys in bulk in order to do so, unless you are installing on windows 10 enterprise. If you can provide a method otherwise, that would be big help. Win

Indeed. I didn't realise how "open" microsoft's platform was until iOS/Android came along. Now the old open platform model looks to be fast disappearing without any protest from developers. 30% revenue share for som

Maybe. But a lot could change in 10 years. For example, UWP is the only serious contender for apps with a rich touch/gesture-based UI. Eventually microsoft will stop adding new features/APIs to other platforms in favour of UWP. Fo

I remember studying the sideloading option a while back (for Windows 8) and finding out that it wouldn't work in our case for some reason (needed Windows 8 enterprise? need volume-licensing to procure sideloading key?). Am no longer s

The worst thing in my experience about windows 8/windows 10 apps is that you cannot install apps from 3rd party sources. Sure you can install on a temporary/testing basis by signing in with a dev license, but you have to keep doi

Really want to read more about it. You should do blog or do a write-up on it on xda-developers about it. Hell you should release a mod for whatever tablet you are using, and make a killing.

This is good. But I wish India would release all the content it generates as public domain, like the US. It was paid for by the people. It should belong to and be made available to the people.
