Given the choice would you suggest a person from somewhere such as Venezuela keep their personal savings in Bitcoin or Venezuelan bolívars?

Where do people get these talking points from? Intelligence chiefs have testified in front of congress that Iran was following through with it's end of the deal. The US then unilat…

Should other countries cede sovereignty and do exactly what others dictate to them? The West needs be smarter about how to compete and deal with the global landscape rather than cr…

I can never understand how people are complaining about this stuff. You willingly and knowingly sign a contract with the terms stated right there. Whose fault is that? The Chinese?…

Buzzfeednews does ok sometimes but I'd have to disagree with this. Even as a staunch privacy advocate facial recognition could do wonderful things to benefit society, is not the re…

> if a bit dry That's part of the problem. Journalists avoid a deep dive into the nitty gritty that might muddy the narrative. Of course economists discuss this and are more aware …

Thanks, which page or figure on the Brookings pdf should I be looking at?

One-child policy is long gone though. A two-child policy exists perhaps for some. The article does an excellent job summing up the demographic hurdles they face. I personally think…

It's the same in Japan, homes aren't made to last, you're only expected to get a few decades out of them. My Japanese friends in Sydney always found it bemusing that I lived in a 1…

I just like to thank the excellent responses here. They are food for thought and have reconsidered my view. It's a shame there's not more turnkey options for popular linux distros.…

I'm well aware of the history, thanks for the link. We are in a comment section of an article on this latest print and I was responding to a comment which says it doesn't trust the…

Would you like to provide some evidence to the contrary for that or just a general "It's probably not true"? You could say the same about Western government debt that's creatively …

So nearly 40 years ago, many here weren't even born. Do you trust Bloomberg? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-25/china-s-l...

If you are so hungry you need to steal then you'd steal food, not exotic inedible animals. I hear the same argument about ivory poachers being poor people faced with no other choic…

Is someone forcing you to buy the ticket? I'd be more concerned about flying particular airlines than the aircraft model.

A researcher on twitter recently cracked widevine level 1 quite quickly according to himself. No proof of concept was offered but he seemed to be claiming it was fairly simple. Net…
