Why is it even a problem if fertility falls much faster in rest of the world and US also has massive immigration unlike almost all other countries? American immigration is also almost entirely Christian and whitest of immigration to any oth

They can't see number of days spent, due to GDPR. In some countries even provinces don't exchange that information with one another, let alone countries. Withdrawn residence permits stay valid for all countries except those who or

Who speaks of old corporations? Besides, in EU they are exactly like that - very old, multi-generational, usually comes from "original" world-changing inventions like ball bearing (SKF) or tram (Siemens), or well, SAP :D. And for

It's just simply that in Europe we have less systematic inequality, almost no second-generation rich people. Rich people are almost always 4-7 generations old (who made money before anti-inequality regulations and values took root in ~

TL;DR: Chinese have never experienced in their living memory a situation of sustained unemployment. They instinctively see jobs as abundant and available at will. So they are not concerned about automations simply for being happily ignorant

That's certainly not the case. Fossil fuel consumption in the US has been flat for 50+ years, and falling on per capita basis, which didn't stop the economy from growing. It's even more pronounced for the world as a whole. Fr

Except kings very frequently died for "good" reasons: being killed in battle, or by political opponents, or during hunting accidents, or victims of coups, or beheaded. As a leader, you lead your subjects into all kinds of battles

Or actually, just simply remember computers of 15-20 years ago. How many times per day you had to press "Ctrl-Alt-Del" or even "Reset", to reboot a stuck one? When was the last time you had to do it these days?

After all, one of the first things AI will improve is law enforcement. It must be totally achievable to do very precise crime prediction basing on analysis of people's movement and faces in the streets from cameras, it's just that

I don't understand what forces people to stay at all on social media apart from addiction itself. I quit it 8 years ago and never looked back, simply because after Trump came to power it has become unbearable. Remembering, it was still

Biggest problem here is that solving loneliness is/was a huge market opportunity. Boring people do all kinds of things they pay a lot of money for, to buy themselves friends. Yours truly is not the exception. If this market contracts,

Problem here is that loneliness and breakdown of social connection impacts people with plenty of time and money in the heaviest ways. Poor people at least go to work (because their work is not a bullshit work - they actually do shit there -

One more thing to treat with GLP-1. Obviously lower back pain is mainly caused by obesity and/or sedentary lifestyle - and sedentary lifestyle both causes obesity and worsens it, impacting someone's ability to walk around.

What is it there to disrupt? It's just one more way people sign papers from the name of people who never existed. Adding any sort of proof to it will only increase scams because people will trust it more - so it will be abused more.

Problem with Segway was that it was made in USA and thus was absurdly, laughably expensive, it cost the same as a good used car and top versions, as a basic new car. Once a small bunch of rich people all bought one, it was over. China simpl

In light of my answer, only way it can help is direct participation with their own units, not just supplying equipment. This is a line West is not ready to cross. Especially since it will only have considerable effect if Westnern planes wit

Good strategy is to just wear down till they run out of people able to fight. Ukraine is at about 10% of the way there. It won't take all that long - in any case, if Ukraine is to be defeated it will happen for demographic reasons (lac

Because with air force, critical asset is both people and planes. Just planes is not enough. You can't train pilots not having planes yes, but when you got planes, hard part starts, not ends. It will take many years to have prepared Uk

We shouldn't arrive to conclusions on the future of warfare based on what we see in Ukraine. It works there the way it does only because neither side has a viable air force. If one of them had, it could win the war simply by theatre is

Perhaps this is because the AI hype train mostly works on celebrity personas rather than protectable tech. Apart from famous people who will give legitimacy to any thing they are employed with, there's little to buy there. If there was
