You point out a good principle which is to be willing to give to your greatest enemy the power you desire to have yourself.

For this to work the ethecist would have to be well versed in philosophy. In our current political climate I would suspect that anyone who obtained this position would be anything but.

This isn't a scientific report. The IPCC (who wrote the report) is a political panel, not a scientific one. They make policies. Its the opinion of politicians that dramatic action must be taken within 10 years, not the opinion of indep

I'm starting to think "security flaw", "bug", and "data breach" has become a cover for giving data to people you are not supposed to. Facebook had a "data breach" on September 28th that compromis

The average home today was a mansion a hundred years ago. They became average because we built more mansions. If a hundred years ago we had built low end housing we would all be living in low end housing today. The Soviets did exactly as yo

You're too focused on money and you may be misunderstanding my point. Price is always based on supply and demand so the nicest house is going to command the same price on the open market regardless how nice it is. The same is true for

That's a great point. This article assumes that eliminating class divide is a worthwhile pursuit without first evaluating the costs of such an endeavor.

Coerced wealth redistribution is about the furthest thing there is to libertarianism.

If I'm not mistaken they provided specific feedback to folks they knew to be trafficking sex on how to make their ads appear legal. That's the opposite of stopping sex trafficking on backpage - especially since they benefit.

Take note: 10% PRODUCED, not 10% CONSUMED. This is counting all output by wind and solar regardless if it is needed and usable when the power is being produced. This is quite important because wind and solar are not on-demand sources of pow

We would have to go to a more libertarian free-market model to make open borders work which seems like the opposite direction people want to go - especially those advocating for open borders.

Privilege is what is UNEARNED and there is no way to qualify if those with open source contributions are more privileged than others. The very opposite could be true. The privileged can bounce from well paying job to the next with no OSS co

Thats the thing with Postmodernism, if you think there is some sort of limit to its application you are mistaken and now on "the wrong side of history". To postmodernists, there is no limit to how far it will go because there is n

Good point. For sure Japan wants in on the development. Jobs is how politicians justify the insane price tag to tax payers. If Japan lowers the cost of F22 to below the F35 that would be a huge blow to the JSF.

All that matters is which side has the superior platform. Ever seen hornets raid a hive of honey bees?

The F-22 is no doubt better but the F-35 would still dominate against anything else. Quite effortlessly in fact. My take is the US Military wants F-22s back in production and they are working with Japan to help build a case so congress will

Unmanned aircraft works as a strike fighter once air superiority is established but I don't see how it can replace a stealth air superiority jet at this time.

I suspect someone within the US Military or Lockheed Martin is putting Japan up to this in order to build a case to get the F-22 back in production. I'm unconvinced Japan really sees the F-35 as inadequate.
