At this point Israeli actions in Gaza have killed about 3x as many civilians as Hamas did. Hamas did an evil deed but the response Israel is taking is going to make more terrorists. There was a story yesterday about a journalist whose entir

That is interesting and I wasn't unaware of such research. I was thinking about mentioning in my original comment that we observe animal intelligence and that we seem to be able to provoke it as well. I remember a study on shrimp where

Re down voting, I think it's because you're asking for climate startups. There are plenty of course, but to have really made a difference we need governments to have made multilateral legislation that priced in emissions. I think

Using debt to buy a better future is a tried and tested economic mechanism. The idea being that your eventual economy is so much bigger than the debt. Taiwan is an example where it was even potentially risky but still paid off. China did us

They have massive amounts of debt and it's becoming a problem which is likely one of the reasons they're trying to hide the data. It's provincial debt and state company debt which is mainly internal so I don't really und

China's leadership seem fairly intent recently on destroying the areas where China's economy was picking up. Tech companies, software developers, and now anything innovative that would benefit from external investment to get off t

I'm not sure that the events of 2021 were seriously endangering the executive branch or any part of the US government. Yes a riot put lawmakers in physical danger, but if the rioters had actually taken over that building that wouldn&#x

You might find them not to your liking, but nonsense? It's not that I sweat, I just like the cooler feel of mesh. And it's comfortable.

If I recall correctly, the crew of the Ethiopian flight that crashed were very experienced and they did understand what was happening. They just couldn't mitigate it in the short time they had.

We can already communicate with animals. They don't have a secret language. We're probably better able to understand them than they each other because we research and look for signals that are irrelevant to the daily lives of wild

Reading too much Peter Zeihan? I don't put any creedence to his gateways hypothesis. It smacks of rationalisation. There are simpler explanations that don't have to ignore Russia being a nuclear state that doesn't worry about

The US and UK could have cited the Budapest Memorandum and told Russia publically they would defend Ukraine with air support before the invasion happened. Neither side in this situation want peace. The Ukrainians want their country back and

That would be the same data wouldn't it. Provide some data that it goes one way or the other.

I'm with you for most of what you say. It's a hard situation in Aus because the Aboriginal people were treated like shit and there's no recourse for them. In New Zealand the Maori were treated slightly better, not much, but t

There's a few albums I love listening to all the way through every time. But for the most part I want to listen to the songs I like. I think about all the times I've found one song that really moves me on an album I don't car

> Prepare for your music to disappear at any point. So far it's only happened because the musician himself pulled the music, and I wasn't really enthused after that to try and find it again. As the gp said, there's so much

Ah the no true Scotsman argument. I have favorite bands and genres, I support local bands when I find them, I go to concerts when I'm able, though I don't live in an ideal location for it. I play music and I try to get together wi

I think you've identified the major problem for musicians: there's so much music available today that the value of writing more has crashed. The value to listeners is now in the delivery infrastructure and recommendations.

I sure wonder what they expected to happen when they changed the license. They were aiming to destroy the businesses of competing services that had grown up around their open source project. Were they imagining that the people running those

It'd be good to see some numbers because that article is pretty vague on where the fault lies. A Tesla 3 is about the same weight as my Ford Mondeo, same shape car. The article points out that (a) Americans buy larger cars than are per
