How do you see climate change happening in next 10-20 years? And how are we doing as a civilization to counter that? What's our biggest challenge?

Kashmir had to choose either when British left. Pakistan didn't wait and just attacked Kashmir and Kashmir agreed to join India. Their king signed letter of accession. Indian army then protected Kashmir from Pakistan and went to UN for peaceful resolution.

UN asked Pakistan to withdraw forces and let public vote happen. Pakistan hasn't done that for 70 years.

So, for your original question, Kashmir will be annexed by Pakistan and all Hindu, buddhist minority would have to run for their lives if India just lets it be 'indepedent'. Kashmir doesn't have army to survive Pakistan and India has been bleeding thousands of soldiers to protect this region over last 7 decades. Btw, China also wants this region and Pakistan actually gifted some land to China. (How do you justify human rights fight when you're giving up land to China? You know how China treats Muslims, even if you just forget other minorities. )

Article 370 came 6 years after Kashmir joined India. 370 was fucked up because it allowed Pakistani to become kashmiri by marrying kashmiri woman, but kashmiri woman would lose kashmiri citizenship if they married Indian.

Also, Ladakh, a region tied to Kashmir had been peaceful and deprived region who has been asking for better integration with India for last 7 decades. Removing 370 allows that.

The decision to remove 370 and make it UT is Democratic and done within constitution and no country apart from Pakistan oppose it. Even Taliban won't come in between this. They made a fucking media statement when Pakistan tried involving them. China also won't oppose the decision.

Hello Mr Gates, do you think crypto mining should be banned globally due to the energy costs involved?

Edit : expanding on this, they contribute significantly on pure energy, let alone the carbon footprint of computer chips that are used to mine currencies.

They seem to be easiest to remove carbon emissions because they hardly serve value apart from investment. Single transaction costs 700-800 kWh and that's just not acceptable.

Is SK considering the possibility that continued air travel will bring second round of virus?

Did any country get electronic voting right so far? India, for example, is very large country and uses it and there's been concern about it recently.
