What your missing missing out is the societal destruction of the USA inherit in highly polarized wealth in a society. Crime increases with wealth inequality and it's because of com…

I've heard the claim it's indespensible but that's not true from a chemical point of view. But possibly from an economic point of view.

You've hit the nail on the head with the exercise theories. Injuries can stop any program dead in its tracks. Avoiding injury is the key.

I find in some forums the issue is the group think enforced by moderators. The StackOverflow forums suffer from this as they are community moderated and many questions get closed a…

Wow I wonder what has driven this? Anybody know?

Why didn't the failsafe dam get built? It's a perfect big infrastructure project for IMF types to fund?

That's a good point you make about US reconstruction or lack thereof. I wonder if any of the Marines on here who were in Iraq could explain why this buffer dam didn't get built? It…

Solar is on a downward cost curve. Every doubling of installed cells leads to I think %20 cheaper costs.

I think Snowden showed that it is as easy as pressing a button which is why he went and blurted it out. The NSA were also working to make it easier to track people. My take on it i…

But evil uses paper is probably going to do less harm than evil uses Tor or a gun or a nuke. Societal control must adapt to the medium on a regularly adjusting basis depending on t…

I concur.

What about What about the What about the ex CEO of Union Carbide who still has a warrant out for his arrest in India for the Bhopal incident. Basically this is a power game. If you…

But as a reporter or editor you could choose to highlight the deaths of innocents such as children to raise moral outrage, generate click bait etc and yet they don't. There often i…

So if an EmDrive worked, what would it give us? A star trek impulse drive type thing? Or is it so low level an effect it would be useless?

World Population comes to mind. Will it solve itself? It might but in countries where it doesnt the consequences will be devestating and flow over to other parts of the world for s…

The loser out of all of this is Startup Weekend to me. Seems like you would need to sign on to percentages upfront and legal or if it goes well the shite will hit the fan.

To drag this into the Australian sporting arena. There is an Australian Rules Footballer here named Adam Goodes, (its not rugby, soccer, or NFL its only played in Australia). He is…

Inequality increases crime. Heaps of references like this http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2013-01-06/want-to-fig...

Reminds me of insurance companies cherry picking the healthy people. The profit motive conflicts with providing a universal service. While it can work, in Australia we have a publi…

Yeah, I'm not sure I trust Google so much anymore and I trust Facebook even less. It'd have to be a W3 group somehow with all the players involved. Definitely some of them would pl…

Fair point but the real solution would be to do those things all fast from the one site somehow. Not many url's many resources etc. How to do that I dunno.

Thats a mess waiting to happen. Just crazy, after Fukushima I lost any belief remaining that the nuclear industry can be safe.

Id implement a policy of no evil. It would be hard and painful but it would pay off. Geez even Bill Gates can turn around his image by giving to charity. Microsoft need to do the I…

Why is 10 million years a blip in evolutionary time when you see the massive chamges that can happen on Islands in 100s of years?

Im surprised so few of the comments deal with disabled people or old people or people who cant walk much for injury or other reason. We cant make elitist cities. As I get older and…
