I can't help to think that given the size of the structure it would be almost impossible to guard, and would be highly susceptible to sabotage. (by groups against space colonization ?)

There are also in the process of crashing their own economy, which even to reach strategic goal does not seem wise. Falling oil prices and a a costly campaign in Yemen seems to be a bad combination. http://www.economist.com/

France, and especially Paris, is going to lose hundreds of millions of tourism revenue next year, plus an increase of military & police spending, which will increase its deficit. Holland is going to Moscow and Washington this week to re

I would say this could be a way of seeing it before last week, but between the terror attacks in Paris and Brussels, which is also NATO HQ, being shut down for four days, at this point, the "spilling over" is way worse from an int

I am not afraid of escalation between Nato and Russia, but the future of Syria will need a full cooperation of all parties involved, and today we took a step in the wrong direction. EU needs the help of Turkey to host refugee camp on its te

The thing is that as a random user, you might want to keep the content of your message secret for various reason (like ad profiling for example). Once you are more or less identified as a terrorist, from the point of view of an intelligence

Naive question I have about telegram. Even if the end to end connection is encrypted, you know the ip address of both sender and receiver ? So you have a fairly good idea where the packet are going ? Basically even if the messages are secur

My company has a process where it puts every stakeholder on a particular topic off-site for a day. (often in an hotel room actually). This is to accelerate the decision process, with a clear deliverable. Even if it works, I find that awkwar

Last night, I was reflecting on the common point between people flocking to SV or to Syria to support Isis. I know this is pretty far fetched, but at the end, I feel both have the same kind of appeal : Stay where you are and remain an anony

This might be hard to understand for us, but I am sure there are Sunni civilians who would rather be under ISIS rule that Assad or Iraki rules. Isis found a fertile ground because Sunnis area were oppressed or neglected by their central gov

The problem with supporting dictators is that this is a powerful recruiting argument for Isis. "Look at the West, they claim to be democracies and defend human rights, but they are supporting mass-murders here" ...which makes the

The thing is that as soon as you have to open the bag, you are potentially localized. Do you rather take the risk to open the bag to check that everything is still there ? Or you take the risk to move around with a bag full of newspaper ? T

Is there a reason why the US are negotiating separately a transpacific and transatlantic trade agreement ? The fact that, except for the US, no one knows what will go in both agreement until the end of the negotiation seems pretty odd.

In traditional betting, you have an observable outcome that is external from the bookie (let's say most of the time, unless the match is fixed). Here, if I understand correctly, the bookies are also simulating the match or rather the s

I don't get something : if this is an algorithm who determines the outcome of a match, it is really easy to fix a match. What is preventing it ?
