I guess my hopeful answer would be they start getting treated like Enron and someone high up goes to prison until they start to comply.

Speaking for myself I am against the H1B, not against immigration. My ideal scenario would be where H1B is repealed and replaced by a program that has a similar or greater level of immigration without tying to to employers.

I agree. In terms of being unrealistic I think it is important that we have to be able to picture a better world if we are going to obtain it. You want kids to know that certain things don't have to be the way they are, that the world

I think there is a reasonable argument that it should be proportional to finance. Let's say two people both get speeding tickets, one of whom is making $10 an hour the other makes $100 an hour. There is an argument that you should fine

Alexa laughs creepily when you wish it a happy Halloween, I'm not sure if it will do it for any other reason.

My Echo has triggered randomly when I'm nearbye and not talking. Only to say something to the effect of "Sorry I didn't understand what you say" so I'm guessing there is a bit of a bias in people reporting.

You're misunderstanding though, it only works on certain strains of HPV, for the unaffected strains we wouldn't expect a reduction in incidence. You are thinking of Herd Immunity, which is what allows for a disease to be wiped out

The problem with the percent rule is that people could easily fall in and out of it. If we imagine someone who is an Uber driver but also works part time as an employee at another business, depending on how many hours they get in a given we

Anecdotally my wife got her battery (6) replaced recently and has noticed a similar change in her phone in terms of performance and reliability.

This doesn't really seem to back up what you were saying though, about the CIA and the Order of Malta. This is just pretty much setting up an embassy.

I wonder if corruption is to some degree inevitable in any country this small. How do you deal with international companies and billionaires who are richer than your entire nation?

Do you have any citation for this? It sounds, well, made up. Also as mentioned The Knights of Malta haven't had anything to do with the island for over 200 years.

No you can't. Even Greece doesn't have that level of GDP to debt, let alone the level of potential fraud in official figures.

I would imagine that's different because you have to be a member to buy it. Presumably if they find out that you are selling individual items from a larger set they'll revoke your membership.

The US currently has the largest military in the entire world by a huge amount, almost three times that of China. The US could begin to reign in military spending without being vulnerable.

There is still no conflict though, so long as class privilege and wealth can be transformed into ability and talent.

Can you explain what you mean? This definition for meritocracy: "government or the holding of power by people selected on the basis of their ability." says nothing about fairness. If people are able to gain increased ability based

It can be both privilege and meritocracy. Think of the movie Gattaca. The people with enhanced genes were privileged from the wealth of their parents, but also genuinely better in some areas because of that. The same thing if parents are ab

I would say yes, post WW2. It's a wealthy capitalistic representative democracy which seems to be what people say when they mean "the West", at least in terms of economics and meritocracy.

Low calorie stuff like herbs or lettuce are essentially the only plants that are practical to grow indoors at scale like this. Which makes perfect sense when you think about it but unfortunately means it will be very difficult to try to sca

People were already shooting each other, blowing each other up, stabbing each other, wounding each other in the dirt to die of gangrene or other infections, setting each other on fire. On what basis do we condemn chemical weapons while igno

Video games certainly can be addictive, just like gambling. That doesn't mean everyone who gambles is an addict, just like everyone who drinks isn't an alcoholic or plays the slots isn't a gambling addict. They certainly can

A great article. It also is a great reminder that knowing when to give up can be the bravest and best things you can do. Knowing how far he could go and push his men seems to have been one of Shackleton's great strengths. Better a live

Friday is groundhog day. Phil might be right about his weather forecast, but it won't make me give any more credence to groundhog based weather prediction.

I've seen sand used in the upper Midwest, I'm not sure how often it's used in other parts of the country. My understanding is that it's better than salt once the temperature gets cold enough and the salt can't help

It seems pretty evident that people thought this was private, and Strava did a bad job of communicating that it wasn't. There is also the issue of people in rural areas where they are potentially identifiable.

But effectively has nothing to do with the film, besides the idea that there are three precognitives who predict crime. The characters, plot, twist, etc are all unrelated.
