I hope this post is intended as sarcasm, and others interpret as such. There are 650 MPs in Parliament, with vastly different constituencies and agendas. You would need 326 currently elected MPs to be on board with this plan, not even consi

The original referendum itself was the real heart of the disorder. The government is now tying itself into knots trying to put into action a perceived desired action, even though the general concept of "Brexit" has a tremendous nu

The script has changed considerably over time between different dynasties, and different areas have had mutually unintelligible languages, even if sharing similar script. For example: Japan shares many characters with Chinese, and Korean an

Yes, they really will. If you oppose this initiative, you start running ads: "Your legislator wants to let a computer overrule judges and juries and put criminals back on the streets. Call your legislator now to tell them you oppose HB

I'm not sure this changes as much as people keep saying. Microsoft isn't completely abandoning browser development, and it will still have (sometimes strong) opinions on the development of the web. The conversation though will shi
