A lot of the 5g connection to drones, self-driving and artificial intelligence is bullshit. But there is some connection in the sense that they are sort of both unknown. In theory if you had some sort of early self-driving personal rapid tr

I think that is something that is more true for something like an elite school. They could potentially refine their qualified guesses to make better decision. But there is also a huge long tail of institutions that probably don't make

I think it has more to do with that China's strength at the moment is being utilitarian. Their working theory is to increase capacity. That is why they are build a lot of high speed rail, cities and power plants. While in the West we t

> You're not getting an employment contract, for example, to work in Burger King in Stockholm because it wouldn't pass the labour market needs test. As far as I know there isn't any labour market test in Sweden anymore. Th
