You want to be born there because they are relatively small groups born on top of huge reserves of oil. Not really applicable or relevant to the economy in the US.

I feel like there's a very simple explanation the article either ignores or doesn't see: Kids were allowed to bring them to school for a while (till they became a distraction)...th…

The problem isn't supply. We have more than enough supply as you said. The problem is transportation. There just isn't a technology that's cheap and light enough to make shipping f…

Surely not, heaven forfend.

It's generally better for your whole country if your citizens are employed doing high wage, productive labor rather than having their jobs poached by foreigners who get paid very l…

The US isn't run by an autocracy so there are competing interests in the government. It doesn't make sense to claim they are being controlled by the government, because they wouldn…

The only way we have any idea of the psychology of North Koreans is from highly imperfect anecdotal accounts from defectors. From those the question of how authentic these displays…

I think people did assume that because from what little experience Americans have with NK, much of the customs we would consider voluntary (bowing before statues, etc) are compulso…

I don't really see a use for this but I agree with your ending point about computers being snuck into all sorts of things for little or no cost is very exciting.

Any reason why these regions in particular? Seems very rando. Maybe focus on areas with problems teaching math?

Still not sure who this is for and why they would want to use it. Google is at its best when they are fixing problems in a novel way, not trying to ape everyone else

There is a balancing act that every successful game has to perform between gameplay and motivation. Without gameplay, games are dull passive experiences (see David Cage) with no pu…

Less people needing welfare? I'm sorry, can't think of anything atm.

Do you have any proof that rape makes a significant contribution to population growth or just grasping at straws?

Vasectomy is currently the only permanent sterilization procedure without serious health risks. Barring some strange shift in cultural attitudes where fertile males suddenly become…

Seems fairly easy to me. Pay 18 year old boys $10k to get a vasectomy. Watch birth rates plummet. Captialism gives us systematic inequality, we should use it to fix more problems

GIS Manager here. The reason silos happen in the GIS world is because of trust. Every organization has different priorities and standards when it comes to data. The accuracy you ne…

Probably because it's prohibitively expensive compared with just building a larger building next to the road and it's aesthetically pleasing to have space between buildings and hum…
