Why? He did nothing to deserve punishment in Russia. If anything, if Snowden left, I think Putin would be relieved he doesn't have to treat a potential nuisance with utmost care anymore. At the moment he can't really disappear him

The people in Pennsylvania knew they were voting for an out-of-control, unpredictable, felonious septuagenarian with fascist tendencies. Complaining now that he is all of those things before he is someone who may or may not do other good th

If a resource is so scarce that its real value is higher than the official one, the producer will have to either increase production, or accept that black markets will appear. Why can't UW increase the number of classes?

you don't really need "AI". There are plenty of solid tools already available for archeology, typically what is lacking is the images to run them on. That's why they are still discovering entire "lost cities" -

Vero powers don't exist anymore on almost anything; but if you're vehemently opposed to something you have no chance to actually stop, it's better to be inside so you can trade your nominal opposition for something, anything.

The requirement for unanimous voting has not existed for more than a decade. It was removed in response to the tactical shenanigans of Visegrad countries. In practice most decisions are still technically unanimous, because it looks better p

Because businessmen are men, and men are greedy and scared before they are rational. Most people will invest 5 to get 10, instead of 10 to get 30.

The problem is the definition of success. Yes, the sector grew and employees made more; but franchisees felt some pain. In fact, I'm sure someone will argue that they had to expand precisely to try and recoup the profit lost to lower m

Double-digit is too high, you'd have people showing up just to get paid - which is not what you want. There might be a sweet spot around $3-5 for that model. Even better: charge $5 to book; attendants will be refunded the fee; any left
