You need a monarch to breed an aristocracy that takes care of its home by virtue of having skin in the game. A fake democracy immediately dissolves into an oligarchy which is self interested and will take whatever it can for itself up until

MongoDB is more popular that it ever has been. You can look at their quarterly filings and learn this. The NoSQL space is larger than it ever has been and is the fastest growing segment in the database world.

Nope, it's Federal. He has appeals coming up though. I have no idea what the outcome could be but there's an opportunity for the sentence to be reduced on appeal. Honestly, this sentence doesn't appear egregious or "bein

You need to serve 85% of your sentence in federal prison. He will likely appeal for a reduction.

He will have to serve 21 years before early release. There is no parole in federal prison. I heard 5 years are concurrent making it 20 actual years. If that’s the case he can get out in 17 years. He wasted a good part of his life.

Ha, there was a treaty signed in 1967 or thereabout that made the moon property of "mankind" and that every nation has equal access to it. Now, if anything of value is found there I'm guessing this treaty is dropped immediate

There's nothing wrong with having 6 kids but I think more people used to because effective birth control didn't exist. People had lots of sex back then too and wife's were getting knocked up frequently and at a younger age wh

Sure, do that too if possible. But importing doctors from the EU and UK, and Canada means we don't have to spend resources training them - those countries do. And then we brain drain them to the superior place for them to earn like we

There should continue to be high standards on doctors. We’d be better off giving doctors with degrees from the top 50 colleges in the EU and UK a license to practice here. Today they can’t and would need to redo years of school here.

by nemo44x 3y ago
I’d make it easier for foreign doctors to come here. For example there are tens of thousands of doctors from EU countries that would move to the USA to practice (and make more money) but don’t because their medical degrees aren’t valid here

The case law actually supports this. Lots of speech is restricted from minors and since social media companies aren’t publicly funded institutions it’s even more ironclad. For instance public schools have more restrictions on limiting expre

It's not really a free speech question here. For instance, what a student can say in a public school (government tax payer funded) can be restricted to a point, but the courts have ruled that the 1st amendment still protects kids up to

Certainly a Stalinist “Who, whom” thing here. This assumption of collectivism and that the “we” are not only a thing but actually a decision maker is presumptuous at minimum. That there’s some “we” that knows best!

“We”. Then do it. “They” obviously see a market for their product where “you” aren’t the object. Who is “we”?

Sure it is, especially when the interest rate is less than the inflation rate. But even when not, over a long enough period a fixed rate will be eclipsed by inflation making the actual cost of the debt significantly less. This is great as y
