Is it really law though, or just an option? Don't give your password and don't enter.
Locals don't have to learn immigrants' languages. They also don't have to integrate with them. But they can. If you value integrating and sharing a language, then you personally should go to the trouble of doing that,…
Is it migrants that refuse to learn the local language, or locals who refuse to learn the migrants' languages? I don't see that either group is in a position to demand what the other group learns or how they conduct…
They company surely did lose something. Customers who wanted to buy their product ended up buying an illegal competitor's product instead. There might even be some customers who go back and buy a genuine phone now that…
Perhaps if a bike is unused for a long time, or repeatedly gets returned immediately after borrowing it, they assume it's broken and pull it out for servicing. Not having docks, they wouldn't need to put the replacement…
It does't matter how poor the poorest people are. They'll always be extremely poor. The important change is that their numbers are falling. If your job is to work with the poorest people, you won't see the ones who…
It might not be because they're republicans. It might be because their constituents are the beneficiaries of the local coal industry. The politicians are just doing what their voters want. They're puppets of the people…
It's not forbidden, it just has a ~10% tariff (fine). $10 per MWh compared to the current price of $120 per MWh. If solar or wind ends up actually cheaper than coal, it'll probably be by more than that 10% so it'll…
This is actually a good example. The password clearly isn't protecting anything. It's a tutorial on how to make a password field! Nobody is going to put a valuable password in there.
I agree. Furthermore, now that people are accustomed to not dieing all the time, even with no new technology, we would probably tolerate more serious measures to maintain this safety. Even if it came to draconian…
The idea that rich people got rich because they screwed other people over is quite common but also a made up generalization. It's an excuse that people who worry about their own socioeconomic status make to feel better…
That's what money is for. So you can buy things you want. To do that you also have to give away your money to the person who used to own those things, so they win too. The reason he got so much money is because he gave…
Something I learnt from the Martin Shkreli drug price increase story is that if you're going to defend someone who's being abused, first see if they even exist. Even then, see if their culture and laws make this an…
The half life of U-235 is hundreds of millions of years, and U-238 even longer. So it's not decaying fast enough to be dangerous.
How far could it float away? Any chance of crashing into South America?
> hopefully that is spent in the US, instead of hoarded for a princely return to India. Did you notice the anti-equality implications of what you said there? It's roughly equivalent to: "I hope that when poor people get…
More trivia - LOTR SGI machines went to the railway afterwards and were used by the engineers for making CAD models of wagons and things.
Without high prices, how would you keep people out of the most desirable cities? Birthrights? Lottery? Application essays? Immigration restrictions at the city level? Or not keep people out but let them become shanty…
Can you identify a specific type of disaster which would destroy all bunkers around the world without evaporating the oceans?
In older news - entire Google Play store removed from Android phones in China. Google cooperates by preventing its play store app being sideloaded and disallowing app downloads from its website to a computer or phone…
It doesn't make sense to demand businesses give money away any more than it makes sense to demand that random people do. Do you want me to give away most of my income too because some people are poorer than me? Are you…
It's not fashionable to say, but what a beautiful example of the free market working. California has attracted high value businesses so it's worth more to operate there. They're pushing out the low value ones because…
You can't predict the property market. It's kind of financially risky to put your entire investment into not just a single sector of the economy or a single industry but a single property! What if you'd bought your…
It's sad how few people worried about this back when it was most extreme. Now people are already in prison, already dead, or already have criminal records for life, and the incarceration rate is falling. It seems like…
The TPP extends copyright terms in other countries. The new president opposes that deal. So there's a bit of hope.
