NK's population isn't fit lol - they have some of the worst malnutrition rates in the world. On the contrary, South Korea's population is well trained militarily and well-fed, although these points are big nothingburgers in t

Eh, it depends. Portugal and Spain were more integrating than the rest (Portugal literally shifted the government to Brazil during Pedro I, while the Spanish were intermarrying and handing out Spanish dukedoms to Native American monarchs).

North Korea doesn't need to be battered - just neutered. Take away their artillery and nukes, and NK will be put on the defensive.

That depends on if South Korea isn't able to take them out in first strike. South Korea could take out the first barrage of NK's missiles and nukes with its THAAD system. After that it will be vulnerable. So SK's success in a

That doesn't seem logical at all. If it comes to an unconventional drone war, SK is the one country that could stand on its own and even obliterate the NK army. The North Koreans are currently getting exterminated as drone fodder in Uk

Just a headsup that each Flock camera contains a 64 GB RAM chip, as well as gold, silver and copper in varying amounts. To protect such valuable assets, safety must be ensured in the vicinity.

There were a number of reports and observations some years back of NYPD officers gaming overtime pay to pay themselves more, in some cases even claiming it while doing other jobs (like bouncer duty, private protection, etc). No shade agains

The public schools in at least my corner of Switzerland are better than the private schools, including Le Rosey. This seems to be the opinion of nearly everyone I have met. You only attend Le Rosey for the network.

A rising trend in the EU has been new buyers going for SUVs. People, especially those with families, have been buying them as sort of an insurance against accidents. You're far less likely to die in an SUV than in a sedan. Although tha

If you want to encourage EV use and make it the mainstream majority, the last thing you need is to put further obstacles to its use such as an EV miles tax.

Let us talk about how much tech the fledgling United States stole from the Europeans, starting from the cotton mill all the way up to the Tizard Project. The US literally stole companies overnight at the start of WW2 (Merck). As the preemin

Instead of investing in gimmicky tooling like these, states should just follow Native American battle-tested-for-centuries practices of wildfire control. Wildfires are a natural part of the ecosystem in most parts of the world. Alternativel

By finance bros, I meant people who continue to work in finance in some capacity. True, there is often some migration from finance to tech, which is usually composed of characters like the ones you talk of.

I agree, this could strongly be the case. Especially since now the most elite in finance are either working in quant roles and /or megafund private equity, both of which are extremely selective compared to tech. Megafund PE was always
