We should at least try this while the fires are going even though it's expensive. There's no wildlife in the middle of a fire other than rodents under ground. Just bomb the area that's burning wider than the blast radius.

It's equally wrong from the moral standpoint to operate in China under CPC as in EU under the Right to be Forgotten and the likes (censorship is censorship). But I'm not sure if avoiding these two markets altogether is a practical

Immigration laws have largely been unchanged for decades and are severely out of touch as a result. Nobody with actual power (i.e. Congress) wants to touch immigration as it's a politically charged subject. Politics is ugly in the US n

I'm literally in France now. I hear people talking trash about 'brown' refugees on a daily basis here in Paris. I've probably heard something similar once or twice in my 8 years in the US, mostly coming from mentally uns
