Let’s say you were a foreign actor who wanted to disrupt Belarus. Calling in a bomb threat of this kind would be a pretty smart way to do it. Of course, it could be much more straightforward than that (it could just be that Belarus did this

BP monitoring would be massively useful. Unless I’m missing something, there isn’t an existing product on the market which measures blood pressure without some kind of inflatable cuff. For people who need to measure BP regularly, this would

When was the last time you used government-run software? Was it a good experience?

by jpxw 5y ago
For one, large government software projects are almost always disastrous, even in developed countries. Secondly, that isn’t what sellers want. Many sellers use Amazon to fulfill their orders. Amazon is far more than just a “market stall”.

First off, I think even assuming this was a lie, it’d still be useful to continue telling kids it - we tell kids lies all the time, for their own goods. Secondly, I dispute the thesis of the article (that education equality has become worse

You’d need to make the referees blind to which team’s stadium was home. My best shot: blindfold the referees, put them in cars, drive them to random stadiums (of teams they have never refereed and have never seen the inside of - so preferab

Hang on, I don’t think it’s “not recommended” to under 30s. I think under 30s are just given the choice of an alternative vaccine, if they’d like it. In many EU countries, the vaccine was banned for large segments of the population for exte

In my opinion, the media and European politicians are responsible for this vaccine skepticism. You reap what you sow. The politicians banned the vaccine despite there not being scientific evidence to suggest that was a reasonable choice. Th

Rent control doesn’t work, and never will. It is utterly ignorant of economic reality. Economists on almost all sides have admitted this at this point. The only people left clinging on to the idea are politicians who do it to pander to peop

The current prison systems in the US (and the UK to a lesser extent) are insane and counterproductive. It’s hard to imagine how someone would make it through a sentence in one of these places without becoming a hardened criminal, a drug a

It’s impossible to be politically correct these days unless you buy that theory. The idea that evolution stops at the neck seems completely laughable to me.
