Does automation really remove jobs or just displace them? Honest question. I mean, in this instance, I see perhaps jobs of 10 cashiers in a store replaced with 1-2 monitoring the store and rest done by automation. But, then this gives rise

I used to do .Net programming a few years back and I used to love Jon Skeet's answers for any .Net question on SO. Precise, informative and simple explanations. It's been a few years since, but if I remember correctly, it was an i

What is the top news link, isn't part of the problem that what I see when I search for 'final election results' is different from what any one else would see, personalization, in other words?

I think its the other way around, there's a dominant two party system because of the simple majority requirement. If there's a requirement absolute majority, then neither major party wins and the smaller parties and independents t

Just curious, why is the concept of absolute majority not used a criteria? For example, to win an election in India, you require an absolute majority (if there are 3 candidates and A wins 40%, B wins 30% and C wins 30%, A is still not a win

How do you invest in land/gold without paying taxes? And, one is required to have the PAN (Permanent Account Number) to transact in gold/land, no?

This is an absolutist view, while it is quite a compelling argument for certain extreme cases, I am afraid the world is never that black and white. Since we are talking about regulating/banning substances, let me try to point it out wi

Well, here's how I see it. I understand what you are trying to say, it is not your (or anyone's) business to decide what other people should do with their lives, specially if it doesn't affect others. And, so no one (or gover

Population(Billions): US 0.3 - 1.2 India CO2 emissions per capita(metric tons): US 16.4 - 1.6 India [0] I see numbers like this, and I am surprised that in 2016, in the face of evidence and danger, we still have arguments like I will not do

It is a complex problem. As far as I understand, in the criticism to any work on climate change in the west (at least in the US) is that people are still debating if it is real or not, in the face of evidence; hence there's lack of pol

I think the term natural selection is sort of a misnomer, makes it easy to misinterpret it as if many are let to die while few are selected. It just happens creatures that with certain traits are more adapted to survive and reproduce (not h

Why sad? Why should elephants have tusks. Elephants perhaps evolved tusks because they were useful weapons and tools in the past, but for generations of elephants now the tusks are the reason they are killed. So, they are evolving without t

Can any one explain how this anti-vaccination thing started in the US, and how is it continuing? I do not know much but I know that anti-vaccination and climate change are heavily politicized in US, if I am not wrong. How did this don'

May be a noob question, but if we can lay down cables for internet across the ocean floor connecting the entire world, why not lay down cables to connect all electricity grids. Half the earth always faces the sun. We shouldn't need bat

I do not think it is crazy for people of villages to think moving to the city is a good idea. It might seem pristine and like paradise to a person from a city visiting a village but for a person living in a village its a different story. It

It definitely is dangerous, but the video seems to be running at 2x, perhaps to make it seem more dangerous than it is actually. The pedestrians walking around are a give away.

The article mentions, Gilead licensed 11 companies in India to make generics. I don't see how licensing to make generics make it stealing intellectual property. Besides I am curious how $1000 in USA compares to $4 (about ₹ 265) with th

I feel there is definitely an element of generalization and survival bias in this article. There has been a recent Patidar reservation agitation [1] in Gujarat, India. The Patidar community, people with the surname Patel (Patels are one of
