And you forget that your "first world" was built on slaves, colonies, cleansing of ethnic races who were living there originally? Mostly that is where the "higher median standard of living" that you refer to has its foun

<i>Some people don't value freedom, they value food, shelter and health.</i> I hope you understand that if you are chronically starving, "freedom (of what?)" is the last thing in your mind. That doesn't

The blog says the fix was made in the DYI tool. That means they would continue to maintain "shadow profiles", but would stop letting others know that FB has a shadow profile on you. Al these blog posts and notification emails are

For that matter the 'private one copy per user', is even simpler to maintain without actually requiring to store multiple copies. All they need is a deduplication mechanism at the storage layer, and store the files block wise. Legally they

I'm sorry how does the variance in surface temperature help us find it?(especially with current technology). As I understand it pretty much all the exoplanets so far have been found using Doppler shift. The size of the planet, more precisel

Yeah right. 'The holocaust also had a huge role to play in Jews getting their homeland'. What British colonialism did to Indians was nothing less than the holocaust on creating human misery and deaths. But of course, for people sitting on t

'Individual rights' in India? I would be pleased if you can point me to something (an event, a case won, etc.,) that highlights the fact that there's hope that eventually India would move towards respecting individual rights.

IMO, Email systems originally have been designed that way to facilitate traceability. When webmail came, it's natural that they followed this practice. Facebook is a closed system. When you send a message to someone on Facebook, you presume

Not to sound pedantic but you do realize that those two qualities are not necessarily mutually exclusive in people right? If we condone such cruelty to other living beings in the name of scientific curiosity, there is no limit to it. It's n

That sounds like a decent explanation, but won't they sense that something is wrong when they touch these objects? I mean stuff like plastic caps are stiff and hard, while fish are not. May be the fact that they evolved to swallow their foo

I'm a little surprised at the tone of your observation. I thought U.S. citizens were the most empowered on the planet. More transparent government is clearly the desirable. If the outcome of this case can determine that, then the outcome sh

True in most cases, but I think there might be exceptions like when dealing with an emergency like a hostage situation.

Pretty much every other cop movie that I watched had LAPD in it. I wrongly(?) inferred from that were good.

Wipers sounds like a good idea. Not sure why they didn't implement it in the first place. Now that actually makes NASA look bad if they go around claiming that here was a problem that we could have taken care of by just adding a good old wi
