Now that's a culture thing. I've always been taught never to pull a gun unless you are ready to shoot someone. That's why I don't have one.

The issue that the police in UK fire their guns a few orders of magnitude less might have something to do with it. It makes no sense to dive into statistics as to encounters and gu…

Where did you read that? How many were in the sample, how long was the diet, was it a double-blind test, what was the significance of the find? That's exactly his point: people wri…

Science has gaps because scientist do not know things. Non-scientist going "based on what happened to my cousin, this must have been what happened" is not going to fill the gaps in…

That's exactly his point. There is no scientific evidence that this happens systemically, i.e. "Keto will lead to weight loss". That does not mean it does not or that you can't los…

Hands up if you have actually ever thrown away a guitar? It's rather big it's bulky and there's few things that can go badly wrong. You sell it or hand it down. I've just rescued a…

Aadhaar per se is quite harmless. It is pretty much what Estonia has been doing for the past 25 years with no ill effects. Quite in contrary. The question is privacy: we have a str…

It is perfectly possible to tell the press that a leak happened without divulging the nature of the leak.

Simple. You endanger yourself - be my guest. You endanger others, you suffer. The key role of government is to represent community interest and not vaccinating your kids is very cl…

Basic economics. Your most profitable product line disappears to the tune of a few billion usd. Your next move is to push up the volume of your next profitable product line and inc…

Based on what scientific fact do you state "there is no safe level of aluminum for a baby?" We all, including babies, contain aluminum. That's the problem: i can't agree to "there'…

Teleport.org, mate. Designed so you can base your decisions on data.

There is no such thing as good or bad company culture. The culture either supports the strategy or does not. Warm, fluffy and nice is an option, but there are others. A real pity t…

There will never be any sure facts about any spy stuff. But his role as a figurehead of "look what happens in us, democracy is broken, don't blame us" message from Russia is just t…

Fellow public servant and former Skyper here. I can fully see where you are coming from. Keep up the good work, a lots of folks are looking up to what the USDS is doing!

There. Exactly there. We have something they don't have, thus it won't work. Do you have any evidence that there is a link to poverty in any of this? Did you not read about results…

Imagine CIA and FBI each becoming slightly more powerful than they are now and then joining forces. Now imagine there is a strong, relatively unified organised crime world that the…

That's curiously right to an extent, you know. Bread had been a symbolic thing for communists from very early days. It's price was heavily subsidised and it was one of the very few…

Having lived in that country, no, it was not fine. Queues for basic foodstuff, severely limited access to services, blatant lack of any manfucatured goods, horrendous public infras…

There's a difference between balancing close to the boundaries of permissible and systematically exceeding those limits while pushing athletes to danger their health for political …

It's the key problem indeed. It is not the party leadership who wants to alter your way of life. It's the life that is changing. Automation, solar, energy storage and an increasing…
