I'm sure they play a role, but I have read that even teenagers are having less sex.

I don't think teenagers are thinking about housing and childcare when not pursuing sex.

> As to China, it is all over India and Bangladesh, loaning money

Pakistan and Sri Lanka, yes china loans to them. India definitely not. Bangladesh I am not sure.

> In short we Indians bought this upon ourselves.

I was with you till here. No, we did not bring this to ourselves. The answer is that USA has dumb policies.

Even Bernie Sanders was against TPP. Do you also think he's in bed with the Chinese government?

Chinese economy is definitely struggling. I don't buy the argument that the trade wars do not work. They hurt both sides. Question is who does it hurt more?

It feels like you haven't thought of it in a game theoretic perspective. In the classical prisoner paradox, the two prisoners gain the most by collaboration. But if one of the prisoner shows no good faith collaboration, it might be necessary for the other prisoner to also stop putting their faith in the uncollaborative one.

Pretty disingenuous don't you think? We all know trump says a lot of bullshit and contradictory things. He isn't Obama who was really good with his words.

But if all you have is trump saying "good strong leader", then you don't have much. Show actions not words.

They have 50 writers on payroll. 18k$ revenue doesn't sound too good. That is just 360$/person/month.

I've never understood techno-optimists on this point.

If Uber has such amazing technology that avoids accidents, they could deploy them as accident-avoidance for regular drivers. They could give normal driving control to the humans, and take over only if there is a potential of accident.

If you argue that these driver assistance technologies already exist, then you better not be comparing your magical AI on supersafe cars with sunny climate on well marked highways to the average driver on the average vehicle under average climate on average roads.

It will be ugly, just like the venezuelan government setting prices of food items led to farmers abandoning agriculture.

Monty, the game show host, knows.

The assumption is that this didn't happen. Hence you must remove these cases from your sample set while calculating probability

> who got the same grades as me is probably a better student and will be more sucessful with a given set of resources than I would since they overcame more adversity than I did.

Isn't that contradictory? Are you saying that african americans achieve the same as asian americans even though they did not have to study hard? Then why would affirmative action be necessary?

Affirmative action is applied to upgrade the scores of candidates with lower scores if they are of a disadvantaged minority. So, an asian american with higher scores (and who worked harder) will miss out on an opportunity to an african american with lower scores (who did not work as hard).

Yeah, if they think Genghis Khan failed on battlefields, I don't know who succeeded.

That's pretty bullshit if you consider their USP is cheap tunneling. Then they should be just building cheap tunneling then trying to build custom public transit that allow only for electric cars with compatible self driving systems.
