I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that heavy reliance on imports increases the riskiness of debt, as external pressures and events can impact the debtor without recourse (whereas even in the event of a local industry failure,

I'm still running my Galaxy S5 from when it first came out, and I've not found any problems with it yet - the camera is good enough for anything I need it for, and the battery can still run a good 4-6 hours active use. While it do

My wager would be AR. We have a few years yet before we see useful, comfortable, well-designed AR environments, but once they cross a certain threshold they'll immediately obsolete a massive section of the computer dislay market, as we

Not everything is a conspiracy, but nor should plausible explanations be dismissed out of hand without providing evidence or arguments. AT&T has lost the right to be trusted, or even to have the benefit of the doubt, thanks to a long hi

There's a few problems with making Highly-Enriched Uranium commercially available, even before we get to radiation. Thorium reactors [1], on the other hand, might be more feasible due to their lack of weaponization potential, cheaper f

Nuclear waste is just that - waste. It's generally no longer capable of supercriticality. Nuclear explosions as a method of space propulsion is a viable idea [1], however. (Using the Moon would be rather inefficient though.) [1] https
