There's nowhere near the amount of immigrants you see in the US, where it's practically everyone. The more eastern you go, the less immigration. In Poland, Czechia and Slovakia there are major cities with zero non-white people and

The street police doesn't carry guns, but what about all these cameras? That'd be considered a serious breach of privacy and personal freedom where I live. My police is approachable and I don't care about the gun on their bel

Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai are all places that practice extreme police/state overreach unacceptable by western standards. I don't consider a city that will have a person flogged for littering a safe place.

The fact that many US cities have very strict law enforcement and yet they're on the list. Meanwhile, I really wouldn't say we have as strong law enforcement here in EU as it is in the US. UK is regarded as extremely highly police

Seems like all the cities with ethnically uniform population established for hundreds of years are safe, while those much younger cities with historically lots of immigration from various different places are unsafe. Not sure what the US sh

It's not impossible at all. Russians flying to Turkey for a vacation is still normal - yes, even ordinary middle class people. My friends living in EU are using this to meet with their family in safety.

100x better for you, but how much work are you causing to the security team that you're not counting? Anyways, big corps aren't the only player. There's plenty of SMEs that don't care the slightest about using only the b

It's already tested in humans, we know it's possible. Currently we have a proof of concept of roughly 60 letters per minute. It was tried with people who needed BCI because of epilepsy. It's also tested that it's possibl

Why is eating steak a sufficient reason but developing such life-changing technology is not? We already know that BCIs work and bring enormous benefits to people with epilepsy, ADHD, etc. There's no question about that. The only proble

Fail to deliver? Wut? They never commited to any timeline and have just began. What do you expect, brain computer interfaces and robot brain surgeons in less than a decade of development? That's crazy. I expect at least 2 decades, if n
