Is this sarcasm?

It's not like it's in the url, they could easily change the page title

> simply for being one of the last communist countries Well, that plus their 50 nuclear warheads and continued ICBM development, amongst other things.

E-books supposedly, since the parent explicitly specified paper books.

Perhaps Grimoire? "A grimoire is a textbook of magic and sorcery. Traditionally, it contains instructions for casting spells, performing divination, creating magical objects like t…

For a lot of people, privacy can simply mean not having to share a space with someone else.

> You should investigate the repeated prisoners dilemma. Well aware. Obviously, the entirety of human civilization is a bit more complicated than a prisoners dilemma, iterated or n…

That's somewhat understandable, what I find more interesting is that people around me won't show up unless it's between 70-80 degrees out.

Also "Sequoyah’s syllabary was not simply a creative triumph, but a new means of self-government and cultural memory"

I believe they meant humanity.

Is imagine the high pedigree horses are already so genetically similar to each other at this point that they're already vulnerable to that.

They've already moved on to genetic engineering according to the article; no need to fuss with evolving a better horse when you can directly specify one. At some point breeding pro…

The next actual step according to the article is genetically engineering the horse clones. They've already crispr'd five as proof of concept.

Seems to be working pretty well in the case of these horses.

Well it would certainly help to know before they're born which children are going to be Einstein. Maybe with ten thousand of them around we could ask some to help sort the educatio…

It's mentioned in the parent article.
