To address the immigration point. The UK has fewer migrants than Spain, Norway, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, Belgium, Latvia and many others; [1]. Roughly the same percentage as Germany, France and Iceland. Why are the other countries muc

It's the common market. Safety regulations on microwaves are EU wide. Is that that big of deal? (For Euro countries things are big different, but still.)

It means that we are going the hear to phrase "strong currency headwinds" in all earnings conference calls for the foreseeable future. And overseas sales will probably go down.

If you are referring to housing, the main problem was that there was not enough housing being built (last year ~140 000 houses got built, in 1971 ~400 000 got built), not that there were too many people.

You had democracy, and you still do. Now Latvia has veto power on whether the UK can have access to the single market (provided that the UK ever leaves, something that has not happened).

I think they would. From their point of view it would be an improvement over the current state of affairs. As the border controls would go down. (Even though I think that would be a remote possibility.)

I'm so saddened by this. The proof would be so simple. They are so clearly being conned. The LRB? Really? I cannot even. Bitcoin is a technical marvel in a swamp of human fallibility.

I agree with the author, there are probably many philosophers with the same level of ability as Plato/Socrates/Aristotle alive today, and I think this is an important point to make. As for the role that ancient philosophers still

Recently I've come across the tpm (Tmux Plugin Manager), available at [0]. Happy with it, even though I'm only using two plugins: tmux-sensible (better defaults) and a theme-pack [1]. [0] - https://github.com/tmux-

The script/site below is able to transcribe whole English texts into phonetics. It does take word context into account (e.g. "the" becomes "thee" if it is before a word starting with a vowel). Just checked "We&

Going for the other comments on this thread, I guess I have a better opinion of Quora than most here. I do appreciate the insider comments we get from a wide variety of areas. My only gripe is a question of style, namely the style that come

I would like to see some location improvements in 5G, but I've no idea on whether or not they will be there. (The little I've heard on 5G has been from non-technical types, always as a buzzword). From my limited knowledge it would

Skimming through the article this looks like better signal processing coupled with the usual sensor fusion (from accelerometers and other sensors). My knowledge of location systems only extends so far, but from what I know 3G, 4G and WiFi h

Switched to atom about a month ago. Been using it on a large project and it performs great (the ctags file is 344MB, but symbol navigation has no hiccups). I still miss a few features from my previous editor (notepad++ on wine), such as the

I got in contact with my tutors through livelingua.com. The first tutor was excellent, the second one was reasonable. I can't say that I really recommend the site (as the quality is somewhat inconsistent), but it did work for me. The f

The Portuguese authorities allowed ~150 CIA flights carrying "al-quaeda sympathizers" to Guantanamo (and other places) [1]. Now they deny right-of-passage to a flight carrying the president of Bolivia. Because? Well, you know, doi

The whole adolescence thing is also quite a ridiculous social construct (it didn't exist in the 19th century). Young people (13-21 year olds) should be seen as adults in training. Instead they are given the role of adolescents, a role that

If the Cyprus government, EU, FMI and ECB were to do nothing it is almost certain that the depositors would see much less than 90 cents on the euro. The depositors are being rescued here. They trusted their money to banks that went on to ma
