If infra for food transportation does not exist then the point is even more valid. If I have village where no food can be imported and limited amount of agricultural land. If I grow khat how am I going to feed my family…
The only issue I have with Tesla's Autopilot is the naming. It gives a false impression. It is more like driver assist rather than autopilot.

This is not a big deal, this gives UK freedom to make their own laws more suitable to UK rather than laws made in Brussels. In a twist to the headline we could also say tech companies around the world are in a better…
May be I missed it but can someone tell me what was the crime the company was committing ? Almost any company will have defensive strategies such as stalling LEOs and Warrants in whatever way they can. A lot of this is…

Either ways my recommendation is to make a informed choice of NIMBY vs YIMBY. It appeared so far that NIMBY is winning and large number of people support NIMBY. This need not be because all these are evil people who…

They could fix their search to begin with. It is pretty pathetic.
The reason why I cancelled SiriusXM was because of lack of diversity. A huge chunk of the channels were the sports channels which I did not care about. Music channels were outright weird and all of them played may be 20…
Is lack of sunlight an issue in Swiss ? I believe they have very short days during winter ?
Research related to IQ (which is not a very useful thing to be honest) and income levels have shown that over time the immigrant communities tend to regress towards the mean values of their home country. Indian…
I recently switched from Macbook Pro to X1 Carbon. I would have loved to have Ubuntu installed on it and everything working. I would happily pay USD 100 to Levono or someone else to install a clean Ubuntu image.…
Thank you UK. I hope UK does a comprehensive review of all EU regulations have made it harder to do business in UK. Hope things like GDPR goes away too. Other nations too should learn from UK here.
That is unfair. Republic and India tv appears to be pro government where as NDTV and other appears to be anti-BJP channels.
As an Indian I would like to point out that NC has not authority to talk about India. He should rather focus on his home country instead of extending his colonial mindset to India.
All of this eventually boils down to skin in the game. What price does government and its minions pay for the surveillance ? If it is too low then those powers will be abused, if it is too high then they will be less…
For that we need to somehow agree that tracking is not just a legitimate business practice but also a desirable one (as long as the individual has consented). But these discussions will soon go into "how easy it should…
There is nothing wrong in being ignorant if the efforts to get rid of that ignorance outweigh the benefits for most users. My mother spends 15 minutes on internet talking to me and watching youtube. She does not care if…

It eventually boils down to the fact that the whole economy is a very complex thing that can not be planned and secondary impacts are mostly unpredictable.
It is about unaccountable government servants having power over serfs. People have to justify their existence and hence every day they go to their work thinking "what new rules can I enforce today". This was inevitable.
It is always easy to take away people's rights. Federal government's strategy has been to isolate tiny groups and take away their rights with the support of the majority without realizing those laws will bite everyone's…
