Not directly, but yes the U.S. has quite a bit of leverage over the IMF.

There is no evidence that there are any charges related to Russia. In theory it is long standing legal theory that publishing "stolen" docs is legal. Now I suspect in people's hatred for Assange they will overlook the fact th

Trump is famous for requesting things to "make the deal easier" and then proceeding to ask for even more. So quite possibly Ecuador is going to be finding out fairly soon about additional things they need to do to get those loans.

There are thousands of Einsteins or Thomas Edisons that were never born because someone had a headache that evening. Should countries be tripping over themselves to encourage more babies? Is there some reason that you think an asylum seeker

Preventing those companies from buying out others and using their incredible size and resources to quashing competition I can support. Splitting into pieces can make sense as well. It looks like Warren's definition of "Fair Use&qu

A low earth orbit, like the current space station, has roughly half the sky blocked out by earth plus the magnetic field of earth to somewhat protect it. Getting to the lunar gateway's weird orbit, if you were already on the moon, coul

By object he is probably talking about matter in a solid state which would exclude gas or plasma. Also given Oumuamua's rotation rate the pieces of matter that makes up the object probably has to have some bounds with each other or it

"Medicare for All, definitionally, offers single-payer access..." Yes that is what the definition of Medicare for all should be but we are already seeing presidential candidates trying to redefine "Medicare for All" to t

Want to bet the actual legislation is just minor tweaks to ObamaCare re-branded as "Medicare for all"? Why do I suspect the article is overly optimistic and that the author is just reading into vague and noncommittal comments mad

I think he does mean interest rates, which are not currently at the zero bound, as the fed has raised them several times lately. I think he probably should have written "trapped too close to the zero bound" which would actually ma

For many Pro-Brexit people they felt May's deal didn't really leave the EU. A very major sticking point is that provisions in the exit agreement, refereed to as the "backstop", that in theory and possibly in practice cou

For SQL Server it looks like an index seek on the following so it is evaluated once. SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE ID = CAST(Rand() * 1000 as int) In addition this query: SELECT TOP(100) rand() AS RandData from SomeTable Returns: 0.94028406

Also Cost-Based can do some really dumb things if a table's contents change by quite a bit before stats are run again. I like being able to give hints so that you can switch between Cost or hierarchy based queries.

Speaking of delusions, the dollar amounts and timing of the spending indicate this was more likely a click-bait farm and/or social experiment and not an operation focused on influencing the outcome of the 2016 election. You could argue

Advertising would be considered influencing elections, like Russia is claimed to have done. Trying to split the American people that openly would almost certainly backfire and push undecided voters to Trump. China is already, in some ways,

Have you tried the latest fad? Serverless functions, so you take maybe a 128 to 512 MB of memory virtual machine and have it run a function that is maybe a few hundred lines of code? I double dare you to find something less efficient. Even

Leaving off the problem of negative/angry/.... comments, is the current state of sentiment analysis or AI sophisticated enough to determine that a set of comments are higher quality?

Material strength is really important. Atmospheric pressure is about 14 pounds per inch at sea level. You can probably drop that to 10 pounds per inch or maybe less. For a square foot of wall, at 10, you would be at 12 * 12 * 10 or 1440 pou
