Gapminder, amnesty, msf, save the children... wait did you ask for ad companies like fb and google that sell clicks but had a noble agenda? I think the mercenary nature of ads precludes most moral stances in deference to the client.

Mosul is basically Aleppo done by the good guys, but looking much the same in terms of dead civilians and destroyed buildings. Not as popular a story.

Trying to build a reactor in your home without asking for permission first does make further accusations about it significantly more plausible. He should probably have invited SSM over when he got his uranium glas, or at least told them by

What, you are saying that keeping people with more opportunities than the poorest in India helps them more than letting those with means emigrate and send remittances? Or do you just not care for those 300 millions of citizen?

Yeah, you can't really do anything like it in a proportional system. For gerrymandering to be possible It is crucial that there is a large number of parallell contests so that winning many contests is more important than winning overal

I think robots are cool, but it is a bit depressing that a big driver for their development is that the japanese want to keep immigrants out... makes me a bit hesitant to wish them luck with it.

It wasn't the publicated images that set off the investigation, but the images they sent to their sources in the NSA for verification. Verification is obviously hindered by sending manipulated documents, so they might simply have trust

The rape charge is on account of him fucking her while she was sleeping, the condom trickery was the basis for one of the other charges that has since been prescribed.

Ecxept for the correction that it is the authors unsupported assertion , not any actually argued thesis, I think you summarized it nicely.

My god, programmer typography! It's like the author only just discovered font weigths. The only possible defence for using bold allcaps five times in a paragraph is if it is a name that is being typeset that way. here there is no such

Students are a heterogenous group of individuals, not all students take well to being given freedom and just perform poorly. Likewise, not all take well to rigid instruction and rebell or slide into apathy. But most try to adapt and struggl

No, there is an example of a careful study showing promise. The unproven treatment is the one that made three people blind, don't mix them up.

They show 28 overlapping lines, that many lines simply can't be individually coloured. To accuse them of deliberately choosing a poor colour scheme is plain dishonest. It is a graph comparing the current year to the previous minimum ar

I think the americans here are more on the ayn rand end of the spectrum, so the entire country isn't as vindictive as this. There truly exists a humanist tradition in the US, though obviously not in this thread.

Is it just bulk that makes the batteries non replaceable? Putting in charged ones are after all the simplest way to speed up charging if the replacement is relatively simple, and a well proven solution for other battery powered devices.

Taxis can be dirty, but there is nothing necessary forcing this state of affairs, and as you say at least one taxi company mantains a higher standard. still, it is not clear that making the car self driving will make the taxi cleaner on ave

That is certainly the silent promise in any gushing text about self driving cars, time will tell how good the robots drive after the few years of neglect most cars suffer.

All you save is the driver and some fraction of the accidents, and you gain a lot of sensors that need maintenance. Free transportation would be something indeed, but uber will never be more than a cheap taxi, and "cheap" is just

No, usually obvious millitary superiority leads to some general going "let's have a war, we'll win easily!" Or are you suggesting Saddam invaded Kuwait because he was unshure if they would invade first?

Taxis are already self driving cars, and affordable for parts of the population. Those people buy cars regardless.

A good point. The official reply of course is that the list is concerned with makers of nuclaer weapons, not with where they happen to be situated, even if the latter is also interesting to know. In the more narrow sense of which countries

Unless the pits themseleves are stored outside of the country, there's not more than like a week of engineering work and a quick wet job preventing Germany from having nukes. Forward stationed nuclear weapons obviously increases the ri

Historically untrue, globalisation halted during the interwar years, and that was very mutch a period of pointed guns. Of course, you typically point guns when you don't trust the ones you point at so it's no surprise there wasn&#

Yeah, I could find at least three here in Stockholm, so it would be a pretty damning sign of american book culture if NYC couldn't produce more than one...

Actually some countries demand that the genitals should be kept hidden even in public spaces, and even beyond that many encryption advocates believe you have a right to use encryption even in public spaces.

The point is that most taxes would be from other states, so it is a net wealth transfer to the new hosting state no matter the tax rate.
