I guess the story is that when he started in 2012 he thought nobody cares. Actually he got it right at that time. Although it was violation of government rules, nobody really cared at that time. He could not predict the change of direction

I am curious to know what it’s the point to have this kind of system? I can imagine you would want to play the same music through the house when you have a big party. Other than that I don’t see much of need. You can simply have a sound sys

If it is true that Go is also played by other Alien species, there is no guarantee that they all play on the same size of board. If earth is visited by Aliens some day, we should assume they play on larger board than us. It would be laughab

I don't know I am a neocon. I just found that report makes good points. Are you saying all the evidence provided in the article are false and we can firmly trust the Taliban, or we should just pull troops out?

I think the unfortunate truth is that US academia job market is already highly saturated. Look, a professor may need 5 to 10 PhD students, but there won't be so many positions open when those students graduate. In the past physics and

Most Thousand Talents Program recruits are Chinese nationals studying and working in the U.S. Some of them may have green card, but mostly are not U.S. citizens. This is not a patriotism issue. The money is not just the directly reward from

The two most common sources of bloatware I saw when I was using Samsung phones were: AT&T and Samsung. Not only the number of bloatwares is crazy, they keeps coming back (from OS update?).

There are different philosophies here. I'm mostly with you. I too believe the court should apply the law, not invent the law. On the other hand, there are people who believe the court should just make the "right" decision, ta

Is it possible some other climate factors, other than climate change, caused dry forests and fires? Are you saying without climate change, this Australia wildfire would never have happened?

Your first paragraph didn't mention climate change. Is it now established that record breaking temperatures are always caused by climate change? OK. I got downvoted on this. What is wrong here?

Even if we accept "all the bush is super dry and it's very hot means it is most likely that would start a fire anyway", this is still far from linking the fires to climate change. I am not saying it is not linked to climate c
