I don't think that's a reasonable criticism of Medicare. Most other countries with universal healthcare do require you to be in the country to get that care. Europeans don't get much benefit from their universal healthcare wh

Of course there is always the possibility that things could burn but forests that burn do grow back eventually. Plant-based sequestration should not be written off. A planet covered by X% of forest vs Y% where X%>Y% has more sequestered

OP here. I think another part of the problem besides the browser implementation problems pointed out in this study are privacy protection scripts which block anything that looks like tracking. Navigator.sendBeacon() is often used for tracki

CNN's homepage currently has video of the Russian shells impacting the plant, shot from the same camera doing that live stream. Extremely unsettling.

> Should fighting continue into March, mechanized forces would have to deal with the infamous Rasputitsa, or thaw.” That's a key point. It does go to show that the Russians expected this to be a very short affair. I wonder if they h

I don't see how this hurts anyone except BP shareholders. It certainly doesn't hurt the Russsians in any way I can see. It seems to me that some Russian individual or organization, perhaps the Russian government itself, will now j

I think the lack of unicorns in Europe has a lot more to do with the regulation culture and lack of ecosystem around starting new companies than with the US or China acquiring them away before they have the chance to fully bloom. You can se

I am not sure I would describe any of this as benign. Spamming multiple SaaS services, generating websites containing solely AI generated junk and ads, in an attempt to profit off the sales of extremely dubious products does not meet the d

A common strategy for car insurance companies in at least the US too. If you (have time to) shop around every couple years, you'll get better rates.

That sounds to me like it would meet the legal definition of fraud. A lawsuit to recuperate the wages and damage to the business might even be worth looking into.

US malls seem to have a strong aversion to carrying anything other than gifts and clothing for some reason. I suspect those apartment renters would be easier to attract if there was a more diverse range of goods on offer as in other countri

Are the stars orbiting the Milky way all orbiting at very different speeds then? If not, I would think the stellar environment of any star would remain relatively constant over time.

This is weird. Definitely not my experience at all. I visited Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu in China in 2012 and I felt extremely welcome wherever I went. I might also add that in Chengdu, a city which sees considerably less foreigners tha

There has never been a better time to build websites. Or web apps. Or SaaS apps. etc. There has never been a harder time to get the word out about them. Which makes sense. The more you make it easy to build them, the more there will be. But
