It can be argued this is necessary because some NATO members spend lower than they're supposed to. We basically foot their defense bill. EDIT: Here's a chart https://www.defenseone.com/politics/2015/06&#x

In the Silicon Valley there's this feeling of monotony - that everyone is doing the same thing. Given the price of housing you can make a pretty good guess everyone is trying to either save up to move out or pay off a house here. Every

Lottery tickets don't demand that you wear multiple hats and grind for years. Even if you bought a ticket every day it's probably cheaper than quitting your job and eating into your savings for a chance at an indie moonshot. The h

IMHO that next generation is going to seriously need it; the world has grown very dense with information and distractions - much more than when we were younger or our parents. They're going to need that extra concentration to filter ou

If you're thinking you can just use a custom domain as a login email everywhere, think again cause that comes with its own risks. A guy did this and ended up losing control of his accounts since a DNS is probably less stringent on secu

It is an improvement considering the last time we had multiple powers we saw minor countries get carved up by major countries and the whole thing eventually flare up in a war that spanned continents, between major countries, and killed mill

Agreed. The notion that "Wow, any woman would've left this man for a guy who makes more, so this is an extraordinary relationship" sorta reinforces the assumption that men must be the breadwinner in any normal relationship.

But how does the scale compare between the two? It would seem like tech work lifts much less people up the chain as factory work did. And in less proportion too: A factory in the industrial era could employ thousands at a time from a popula

The savings from the cost of traditional college helps very much if a MOOC student manages to find a way to network with people via Meetups or other ways - and with the money saved one no longer has to be stingy over paying membership fees

Agree. I paid back my loans with money that could've really done better invested in stocks. Imagine if someone could've paid his loans, but was irresponsible and just risked /lost it all in stocks. Not only can he file a capi

I did the same, and found out that oddly enough my brother who went to a U.C. ended up getting a bonus state grant that slashed his loan burden lower than mine. In effect, he was entitled to a college with a higher cost than mine. We only f

I'm interested in this issue in the realm of gaming. The way I see it Apple and Google tax mobile games for using Apple and Android phones as gaming consoles. How does Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft(Xbox) handle revenue share and develo

At this rate every company should just start claiming their workers are human-lookalike cyborgs since being a plain-old honest company who doesn't lie about using human workers doesn't get the same boost as one using human workers

A lot of argument against tariffs seems to assume that prices in the US will rise and stay increased permanently assuming production stays in China. Wouldn't the downsides of tariffs actually only remain until production moves to say,

How does this compare to Inferno, which you can also use JSX and Hyperscript with - https://github.com/infernojs/inferno This seems smaller in footprint, but does it also win in runtime performance and stability?

But doesn't locking up your PC in a cabinet hurt its cooling performance? I doubt there is adequate airflow in there.

But doesn't this basically mean that if you only have $1,000 in your pocket, anyone with $11,000 can outbid you for your creations? You will not be able to name a price you can't literally pay right away.

But South Korea does not need more working stock. They already have a tough time keeping their younger population employed.[0] Also as North Korea is mostly mountainous there's not a whole lot of new "city-building" area. [0

It's actually funny you pointed this out since China often points to their huge population as an excuse for not valuing human rights and individualism as much as the West.

At this point, I imagine it's a "you first" issue. Trust is pretty darn scarce these days, how can you be sure the other side won't just annihilate you the moment they know you can't retaliate? That or be sure that

That is still deflation. Deflation is any decrease in the general price level of goods and services. It does not matter if it is due to increased production by advanced AI robots, etc. After all, if you knew you can get something cheaper to

If no known target thus far is high-profile, it could very well be that the current targets are guinea-pig-targets that test the malware for future applications.
