It really is a difficult problem. Sweden legalized heroin in the 60s and it was a disaster. On the other hand, enforcement only has a moderate impact, but comes at a huge financial and social cost. And while I don't support it, the onl

I wonder what linguists would consider the "best" current language in widespread use (at least 1M first-language native speakers say in a single dialect) for international exchange, taking into account all relevant aspects of the

At least they are honest about it, and I dont read Chinese. On the other hand, watching political agitators with an axe to grind masquerading as journalists makes me mad.

by smegel 11y ago
I would say bad China, but given how polarised and politicised the Western media is, I find it hard to fault them. Unbiased journalism seems such a quaint concept these days, and as the divisions between right and left take on an almost war

This might be the first good move Yahoo has made since Mayer took over. I can't think of a better example of a company that needs to shed worthless baggage and focus on high value propositions. And I am gobsmacked Yahoo has not at leas

But we have direct experimental confirmation of light behaving light both a wave and as a particle. Do we have any such evidence to show gravity exhibiting particle like behavior?

I just use FlashBlock and a Chrome extension that stops html5 vids from autoplaying (and disconnect to limit tracking). Can't say I've even really thought about the ads that do appear.
