In a ponzi scheme, nothing is created. Uber has created a service used by millions and which tens of thousands of people make an income from. Tesla has created products that hundreds of thousands of people use, millions want, and hundreds o

Danes are not 'one' but 5.6 million, they don't all share the same opinion on the environment, on shipping, or on Maersk. But I agree that Danish governments have succeeded in making Denmark appear much more environmentally p

I would trust few self reported surveys and especially anything involving sexuality. And then across generations. But if there were a drop, I would suspect obesity to be the main cause. After all, it may reduce the obese's interest in

Not to mention that once this industry is mature, they will print upwards. Taller buildings spread the cost of land on more units.

Yes, also for men without college degrees. Even most welfare clients are better off than an average man in 1776, 1861, 1914, 1940 etc. and they in turn had way better lives than men in the stone, bronze, or iron ages and men in the Medieval

Cheer up. Contrary to what many believe, men's chances in life have never been better than now. Life used to be rough and unfair for most us men. Maybe the oldest son had a chance to inherit the farm or shop of his father so he could p

I was a conscript in the Danish army. Roughly speaking, they examined all 18 year olds, sorted out those with low IQ and those with physical injuries and asked the rest if we wanted to join voluntarily. They never got enough volunteers so t

It very much is an "end to EU citizens' right to residency" for those many Romanians and Bulgarians who enter after March 15th. So there is nothing misleading in the headline. Given that it affects thousands of people it&#x27

First, this would require that the browser vendors adopt the standard, right? How long time does that usually take? Is it a few months for Chrome/Firefox and a few years for Safari/IE, or how would that usually play out?

Just tried the demos on this website. I tried to extract text from a pdf that already has searchable text, which can be copy-pasted. This should be the easiest task of all but it made mistakes in every second word. Then I asked the website

I was signed out several times today. And I couldn't attach pdf-files bigger than 200Kb from Chrome. Then I logged in on Firefox and it worked again.

I for one am happy that we can buy (the same) clothes, do the same things and almost live the same life in Eastern Europe as in Western Europe. Maybe foreigners increasingly miss out on a good laugh as the horse carriages disappear from the

Yes, the social mobility of Americans is almost non existent. One thing I noticed when I lived there is that even people at the bottom and in the middle thought that it was a meritocracy because 1) smart people who 2) studied really hard ge

It's far from the 80/20 rule. The richest 1% has 40% of the wealth. The poorest 80% has 7 percent of wealth.

Not sure why anyone would downvote this. It's a valid concern for anyone coming from Europe or other places with universal healthcare and whereas most tech companies in the US offers healthcare, many small ones don't and if you st

You are right that they have made separate declarations of support, but are they plaintiffs? I think 'et al' refers to the sole other plaintiff, the state of Minnesota: http://stmedia.startribune.com/documents&#x2F

I see where this is going. But Hitler rose to power when he was still in his 40s, in a democracy that was 15 years old. Trump is in his 70s with no time or reason to become a dictator, and the US is a mature democracy and has been for more

In Europe, there are many excellent universities and many countries with visas for phd students. Just come to Europe. Once your phd is bagged, the US will have another president, and you can go there (unless you like Europe too much by then
