"Older junk cars" almost always have a single- or double-DIN form for their radios, and aftermarket radios are available for ~$50, so it's not like they can't get other forms of audio.

It wasn't first-cousin marriages that screwed up the mainline Habsburgs; it was generation after generation of uncle-niece marriages that did it in. The current branch of the family (Habsburg-Lorraine/Hohenberg) was fortunate enou

If you're filling up once every 1 or 2 weeks, that's not much thinking at all, so it doesn't seem like a game changer to me. Not all gas stations are greasy either--many are clean and shiny. Sure, you'd have to pay 20-40

An effective UBI would require some sort of universal healthcare system, which can be wholly public, or a basic public system with a private system on top, to take care of the differences in need between different people.

It's less of a problem if you spend and borrow as if you were making market average salary.

UBI requires no central planning at all besides the mechanisms for taxation and distribution. It requires that everyone be able to receive the money (i.e. has a bank account), but that's pretty much it.

The problem with France isn't RSA, it's dirigisme. Regulation kills business and productivity far more than taxation and government spending ever do. If UBI were combined with a repeal of all but the most essential labor regulatio

> no place for morality in any modern legal framework There's definitely a place for morality, but perhaps a better way to put it is that there should be no place for any non-utilitarian morality in any legal framework.

The trade-off in diesel engines is between more CO2 and more nitrogen oxides. Burning lean mixtures with lots of excess oxygen tends to reduce both particulates (since they are more completely burned) and CO2 (since combustion is more effic

I find strange this whole idea that economic growth requires population growth. Why can't each person, aided by automation, simply produce and consume more?

The leader you've just described doesn't exist, since even the most totalitarian leader is still a politician and thus must consider the interests of his power base. In order for Putin to be the leader you want him to be, he has t

Why would translation be difficult? It's just adding small integers to another small integer.

"I want to wake up when the sun is up" doesn't conflict with single time zones, as any resident of western Xinjiang can attest, but since it requires that people get up at numerically earlier or later times, it does conflict
