Well, the issue with take home tests isn't the Googling per-se, it's the hiring out of the work. My preference for university exams was a simple, single page cheatsheet that you had to make yourself. You could write the finicky st

I don't know why I was downvoted, but the answers you are looking for are available on a now offline website called WHFoods (World's Healthiest Foods) which you should be able to find on Archive.org or similar.

In the long run you'll want to eat them with butter, not just boiling them. Otherwise there are some nutrients that you'll miss. Even so, potatoes cover a huge swath of the nutritional profile that a person needs. It's one of

At the risk of being derided as violating another top level comment[0] I'm going to try to evaluate the implied premise of this concept to try to show something I've been trying to put to words over the past couple years. For simp

Ok great good for you! You're (presumably) in the West and can choose what you value, and you value a life with balanced work hours and, well, you call it fair, but in global standards it is high. Either way, for people with the skills

I would argue that, despite the design failures, more of modern society runs on JavaScript. I know that it is hard to accept, but a crappy piece of ten year old JS with JQuery submitting a basic XHR request to a server to book a seat on an

No problem at all. If we were at a bar I'd say more, but with online stuff the safety margins are tighter because every word is picked over by everyone. It's not just states. There are a lot of mentally ill people out there. That

Easiest way to start the marketplace is to be a large part of one side of the market first. It's possible to do it other ways (pivot showcasing working into selling work) but it's usually in a much narrower vertical.
