Can somebody give some context on the root cause of the problem - the chronic pain epidemic in US. What caused it, why it is more than in other parts of the world and why so many painkillers? Is it cultural?

You have to shrink the base to get high percentage growth - a war that is devastating have the effects of reducing labor and increase the need of labor to rebuild infrastructure so it gives a decade or two of rapid growth... Aside from that

While not rotting in prison is great - isn't it strange that Manning was pardoned, while there are a lot more pardon deserving persons among the other whistleblowers of the era. Nothing good or interesting came from those leaks. And t

Not sure how much apple care about my privacy when they force the phone to call home after factory reset and using it as a dumbphone and blackmail you to provide a valid credit card before installing any free app... If you care about privac

That is just rubbing salt in the self inflicted wounds. I think that this could probably be the first real danger for Uber, especially if their self driving cars effort is killed. The major costs in taxi operation are fuel and humans. Elect

Walled garden is fine only if you build the walls. Please let the iOS stay the only such corporate build travesty. It is good to have the ability to raise the walls. It is not good for apple and MS to decide what to use their OS for...

Those percentages have outsized impact because you are emitting them very high. So while they contribute to 4% of emissions, they may as well contribute to 8% of global warming. We don't reduce emissions just because. We want to stop t

The china presumed missing 200000000 girls killed during the one child policy, seem to be alive and well - they were just hidden from the records IIRC. So china may have more labor than official statistics say. And the one child parents now
