Keep in mind that the margin of error depends on your confidence level. So, to be completely correct, one would need to say that something is statistically insignificant at a 95% confidence level or something.
That only holds in closed systems. If a company can't find good programmers (or workers of any kind), now they can just open up a new facility in Canada, Mexico, India, Ukraine or whatever. Hence, there might be demand but no fall in unemployment or rise in wages.
Pithy comment, but just not true. If you followed the markets, you'd have seen that whenever there's even a slight hint of the Fed (or other central banks) raising interest rates by even a little bit, the market falls fast. Besides, right now a global trade war is underway, and so countries are working hard to devalue their currency. Printing money can definitely help with that, driving up exports and thus the economy. Of course, money is neutral in the long run, and so the gains won't last, but helping economies through rough patches is one of the roles of the government and central banks.
Those lithium deposits are essentially lying unused, as there isn't enough infrastructure yet to allow full-scale exploitation of them to occur. However, the rest of Latin America might just strike back, at least subtly. UNASUR has already called an emergency meeting, and even OAS has issued a statement strongly criticizing the US (for those that don't know, OAS has traditionally been dominated by the US and lackeys -- that's why UNASUR was created in the first place). Latin America now has a total population of almost 400 million, is a massive food exporter, as well as of various metals, and even has some countries with highly-educated populations (Chile, Argentina, and parts of Brazil) so the region is going to be a key global player in the future, as it's experiencing massive growth.
Mathematicians have spent many centuries refining how best to expresses mathematical operations with clarity by hand.
FTFY. Spend all day typing up proofs on LaTeX and then tell me that's the optimal notational system (I know other systems for typing math exist, but they all take a while).
However, as another Canadian, I can tell you that we pay far, far less than Americans. The US spends 17.6% of their GDP on health-care, while most other first-world countries spend between 9-11%. Canada is at 11.4%, while Singapore gets some of the best results in the world with only 4.1%. So the US wastes at least 7% of their GDP due to an inefficient health-care system, since many other countries get better results with about 10%.

The reason no digital currency will ever be used to such an extent is that they are truly worthless. Just because something is rare doesn't mean it's valuable. Also, I've yet to see a digital currency that can scale with a growing economy in order to avoid deflation. That instantly makes hugely widespread adoption impossible, as if a currency starts growing in value, then people will just hoard it, its velocity will fall off a cliff, and it'll just lose the value it gained and then some.
Government-issued currencies have real inherent value because citizens of their respective countries need those currencies to pay taxes, or they'll go to jail. Considering most governments' budgets are at least 15-20% of GDP, with some over 50% (such as Denmark), that is a huge amount of demand for those currencies. In the US for example, every year the IRS takes in ~2 TRILLION dollars in taxes.
The evidence only shows that he stole some stuff from her, and they maybe had a fight. There doesn't seem to be any evidence of actual attempted rape. Also, some people still believe in the presumption of innocence.
If you can't afford to pay a million dollars a year, then maybe you shouldn't be a bank. Since the government guarantees plenty of deposits in banks, it's quite reasonable that they make sure only banks with enough funds to survive are allowed to be banks.
How about just using freight trains? The only reason there's so many truckers in the US is because of the massive subsidies that industry gets (such as how they cause far more damage to roads than they pay in taxes).
So if they're gonna kill the rhino either way, at least if its horn was cut off the poachers won't get any money. A proper cost-benefit analysis would be needed to see if tranqing and cutting the horns off rhinos is the best use of money to combat poachers, but long-term it should deter poachers, if most of the time walk away without a horn.
Film makers don't have to be slaves to the comics. Just look at Tim Burton's Batman films, for example. An easy solution would be to just make the real main character a complex, interesting villain, like Lex Luthor.
Actually, fashion models parade in front of women. Men aren't (mostly) going to buy dresses, women are, so fashion models are the women considered most attractive by other women, not men. For example, on average men like larger boobs than most models have.
Of course, I also agree with your point.
You have vast improvements in quality of life when you get into the 6 figures per year. Until you have a house maid, cleaning person, nanny/nannies if you have kids, gardener if you have a house, and cook, money can definitely improve your quality of life. You would not believe how much more free time you have when you have to do absolutely no work around the house. Also, I like to travel, and flying sardine-class just ruins the experience for me.
Anyone else get 2003-era deja vu with regards to allegations of chemical weapons justifying military intervention (currently they say they'll _just_ provide weapons, but enforcing a no-flight zone still seems to be on the table).

With interest, something that pays for itself over 20-30 years will never really pay for itself, or at least it'll be a terrible investment.

But a much lower murder rate.

You really not see the problem with him potentially exposing whistleblowers, or are you just being a smartass?
How is something inalienable when it can be taken away?
It seems like native speakers (specifically: Americans) butcher English far worse than any immigrants I know.

As an actuary, I couldn't help but think:
By Jove, the insurance claims! Wait, does "Act of God" cover Superman?
Why do you assume that the process to get relief is arbitrary? I'm sure they have some reasonable guidelines written somewhere.

I'm no engineer, but why couldn't this recipe be used with rebar? Corrosion from the water that needs to be absorbed, or what?

Unless you live in a first-world country.
Cheaper? Yes. Better? Arguable.
I'd say for regular users, they are equivalent, but for more advanced things, calc doesn't compare to Excel, for example.
