Iran is at best a theocracy masquerading as a democracy. The Ayatollah is a dictator for life and approves any 'democratic' candidates. As for why Iran is an enemy it's mostly to do with the hostage crisis, an act of internat

Trees are nature's best solution after millions of years of evolution. The R&D cost is low as well as the complexity. The problem is that dead trees turn back into CO2 so there will need to be some kind of sequestration like buryin

What? This is extremely wrong. The end of the 19th century is ~1900. Germany and japan were absolutely not backwards agrarian societies at the time. This was post industrial revolution .

The average app with near zero or zero transactions wouldn't be affected very much if the fee was 30% or 0%. In terms of antitrust what matters is the transactions.

Not entirely surprising. The Taliban is mostly comprised of Afghan refugees who were raised in the madrassas of Pakistan. These were funded by the gulf states and the CIA and controlled by the ISI. With foreign money the Taliban bribes the

The phone system is a failure of innovation. Some kind of caller id should be mandatory. There is no technical reason something akin to DNS for phone numbers can't exist. Phone companies would rather cash checks than innovate.
