I'm going to assume they grossly overestimated when creating that number. Their aim is "to highlight the number of people who live in poverty". I think I am technically "poor" by a number of standards because I don&

I'm not sure the Dems are focused on the poor anymore. One of Trumps main pushes was that he would represent the working class Americans who are working but still struggling. I think the GOP has been targeting the working poor away fro

Lets take the next logical leap and blame Russia for creating bots that will divide America between Walmart and Amazon

The only con I can think to that is the initial influx of support questions. I have no idea why this is not the default now, its simple, user friendly, and way more secure

As an American I would be happy to see someone else take responsibility. If China thinks they can somehow bring stability to the Middle East then give them a shot. At least when they inevitably descend into chaos again it wont be us having

I'm not disagreeing with you. But someone in Admissions (who is heavily incentivized to not use a lottery) is going to vehemently argue the opposite

We are also very close to solving world hunger by "Feeding People".

Imagine if the lottery produced only White and Asian males being accepted. The meltdown and tears that a even a less than 0.01% event would cause prevents the lottery concept. I personally agree that a lottery is a valid suggestion but I do

Q2 GDP growth was 4.1%, don't listen to heavily to the outlier nay-sayers. They've been predicting negative returns for the next ten years since the S&P was tracked

I think we are a long way from anyone walking back from Windows. It will be an uphill battle for Google due to the lack of privacy awareness (I'm not saying Microsoft is better or worse, just that Google is not looked upon kindly in th

Perhaps it was lumping all southerners together and calling them all inbred racists that resulted in a bad time for you. I think a lot of people would like to explore Georgia as a Florida alternative

Will do, I was trying to give you the opportunity to defend your position before submitting a complaint about your behavior. I will note your lack of initial explanation and refusal for explanation when prompted.

Interesting to hear it is a notable effect, I've never ran in a polluted environment before. Next time I'm in New York I'll have to give it a try.

I believe the incentive to maximize clicks and/or views caused a short term spike in profits at the expense of long term integrity. I doubt it is permanent but the next few years will be difficult for media establishments when they nee

I really don't understand how this was a political ideological comment when it is commenting on a fact in the context of the current discussion. Could you please explain why my comment was deemed inappropriate? I have yet to receive an

Open needle usage and human defecation does not need to happen in large cities. NYC doesn't seem to have the same fecal troubles as SF. Even Cleveland is cleaner from my experience as long as you ignore the burning river

I normally get that feeling when exercising on open trails as well or even indoors. It's part of exercising intensely

Can't see the comment due to censoring but character is not necessarily good. Having a character of homeless people openly defecating in the streets isn't optimal and will probably harm tourist activity in the long run

It is also really easy to look over flaws when you work around them everyday. I used to be on the java hate train but now after using it daily I can barely remember why I used t take issue with it

This is precisely why my goal is to set up my children better than I was and teach them to do the same. As long as I am constantly improving and can share that with my children I am happy. Comparing yourself to others, specifically to the s

Misusing the term Gilded Age is becoming more prevalent recently within the inequality narrative. I'm guessing The Gilded Age was shown to produce more clicks and why let facts get in the way of clicks

Could they have someone "vandalize" the painting as a work around? It seems like spray painting some "hate speech" might resolve the problem, might event get a stipend from the city to remove it if your play our cards ri

All I can think of is Nokia and possibly Vodafone if those count as technology. What other big tech companies are there? Not trying to be rude, just generally curious as I don't know much about the European technology scene

I would hate to live in such a restrictive area but that is probably more a cultural difference than anything. I'd rather have competition and innovation than security and stability. In my opinion it is the main distinguishing factor b

Couldn't they still generate revenue from ads and services in Europe? The EU could block Android phones but its not like they are going to build a firewall.
