Yes, I started learning a bit of Mandarin this year. Interesting, but tedious. Imagine they constructed their numeral system the way they constructed the (non)alphabet. Instead of 0-9, and all numbers constructed from those, there would

$100 monthly income puts a person in the top 52.40% earners worldwide. That's misleading without considering numerous other variables - cost of things? It seems to me to be the kind of statement aimed at deceitfully triggering emoti

Maybe I'm alone on this, but is transport only an economic matter? I am not a package, a cardboard box. I have senses and a brain which processes to some degree, and as a result I need to be transported with more consideration than a

The goal here isn't to stop what people think, but what they can do. Extremists are not a problem, as long as none of them slip through our monitoring and control of them? Of course the goal is to stop what people think - or would yo

Freedom? Religious people have been trained like animals from youth. There's no choice there. That's not freedom.

I've long considered London to be nothing more than a giant PR exercise. Of course the prime minister is an ex-PR guy, so a connection wouldn't be surprising. I'm not sure it delivers on the image it projects in any respect

A degree carries much weight in London. Developers with negligible coding skills and a degree sail past those with skills and experience but no degree. It's quite bizarre. I guess the companies who hire that way don't know any

Of the millions of people in London, how many of them do you know? Presumably a statistically significant proportion or you wouldn't mention it for risk of appearing blinkered and living in a bubble.
