We can assume by this comment that you have no idea what is actually in The Constitution....

I got my degree for free. I just said I had one and that was it. 25 years later this hasn't caused me any problems...

The word is 'Social Mobility', and some countries are better at it than others (hint: the US isn't very good)

WTF is this Cosmo magazine? Is it a homework assignment?
This place is going to shit....

To be honest I can't remember all of them but some that come to mind at the time (a few years ago when I made the decision) was the keyboard, ie load any keyboard you like with Android such as Swype), and the file manager (Apple doesn't let you see the file system..
I've also noticed that in the last 5 years, in the tech savvy space I operate in almost everyone had iPhones 5 years ago, now almost no-one has them, and everyone you ask says the same thing - too restrictive.

You're obviously not taken into account the hundreds to thousands of ships at the bottom of the sea floor full of cargo, weapons and humans due to unexpected causes (war/weather etc).
A couple of extras won't make a difference, especially if the location is chosen carefully.

Copper is closer to 100 times the value of Steel as scrap...

China just stopped doing that about 3 months ago https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnbc.com%2F2018%2F04%2F1...

I hate Apple but agree. It's probably the best experience fro non-tinkerer types, and Apple has the best support by far.
I'll never buy though because I want to do stuff with my device that Apple doesn't allow. It's Phone by Fisher Price. And if you're the technology equivalent of a 4 year old then its the best option by far.

It's less about human vs machine and more centralised vs distributed.
The manual/human system has vulnerabilities but it's a lot harder for thousands of humans to suffer the same vulnerability at the same time than it is for one computer system. Humans also only suffer form or two possible vulnerabilities which makes those risks much easier to mitigate. Computer have nearly unlimited ways of being compromised, including all the same ones that affect humans (because you can attack the human admin of the computer and apply the same attack).

The simple fact that felons cannot vote is enough to consider the US democracy a fraud. All you have to do to manipulate the polls is target voters of the opposing team and get as many of them as possible of convicted and presto you've given yourself an automatic swing. And hey what do you know, as if it's a surprise the US just happens to also the highest conviction rate in the world.

Denial and despair are twin evils, either of which can keep us from moving ahead in life, from achieving our goals. - Rabbi Barry Block

It must be true then.

Well since the first part exists only in your head, the rest doesn't matter.

I have no idea of the numbers, but the logic still makes it possible to have a lot of countries with stable population and still have overall growth.
eg If 190 countries are flat or slightly negative growth, and the other 10-20 countries are up, then the net rate can be up (depending on the numbers).

That, and policy is set based on political boundaries, so each country needs it's own figure in order to measure the effectiveness of any policy change.
