Either there will be an _extremely_ bloody and long disintegration of government in Iran, or Trump will probably agree a slightly worse version of the Iran nuclear deal (and now the Iranians will know - once and for all - that the only way

There's obviously some trade-off here: should your business support fax machines? Work on a Nokia brick? These are clearly impractical. But slow internet connection speeds are a thing that everyone deals with, and therefore it makes se

You have completely misread my comment; the point is that checking names would not be for security (it would be to prevent ticket scalping). As you have correctly identified, handling security threats is somewhat orthogonal to this - i.e. y

Why is accessibility only important for a small minority?

This is not the proposal. The proposal is to ensure people's names match their tickets. Additionally, I think most people at concerts support security measures that would improve their safety and avoid a rerun of https://en.

Yes, because it's a tax haven. That doesn't mean it would be sensible for Proton to move there!

This is very specious reasoning. At least in Australia if you have a legal problem there is a full court system set up that can help you – Liechstenstein is basically just a state owned by a single man attached to a bank (LGT) owned by the

It's a country where if the Prince decides he doesn't like you, well, he can bring the entire administrative arm of the state down upon you. It's basically a European version of the UAE – not a great place to be.

The question asked how your life experiences will enable you to contribute to Harvard. Presumably expecting students to have done things in life is not also "woke" now.

Surprise, the machine that interpolates from a database of maths books confuses a human who wants to learn about the contents of the books in that database.
