AU definitely has goals that bring it closer to the EU. Time will tell how well they do. In many ways it's a similar problem: 1/ big and small countries, 2/ lots of land on a full continent, 3/ major differences (langu

The real purpose of the visa is money from fees. The people who arrive in the airports are the ones dealing with the visa process and they're all paying $50/visa or so - it's a big money maker.

There is a nuance that sometimes what was native 100 years ago simply won't survive anymore because the lack of the previously existing ecosystem. For instance a plant that needs shade and high humidity that is no longer viable becaus

I have dual 4k right now daisy chained from a Mac at 60Hz. Works totally fine and it was a 2019 MBP (and now a 2021 M1 Pro MBP). This is already a solved problem if you just stick with TB3+ gear.

If there's a way to sell it at a fair price, yes. Otherwise, they have a fiduciary responsibility to hold it until a buyer can be found to pay a fair price. They won't hold it just to let it ride though - that's correct. I

It's not necessarily that expensive - at least I'd say it's within 50%. At Oxford where I did 1:1, I believe the total time with the tutors was around 5 hours per week and each tutor was probably investing 2 hours (max) per

There's a bit of a curve there. You may invest in a school for many community reasons if the school is near the same quality as the other option. If the quality is way below then the logic of family protection basically demands a mov

Jimmy Carter did it - but those were more idealistic times for the US public school system.

I wouldn't call that home schooling. That's more like a co-op model. They probably used professionally drafted curricula too.

Probably an old dimmer or something in the light circuit or you're getting some weird off-brand LEDs - my LEDs last for years.

That's just wrong - Apple devices are much more hearty than the competition (Lenovo as a possible exception).

In Germany if you are on parental leave caring for a child you accrue social security benefits as if you were still at your job.

Because they're working but not in a way that is recognized by the government data which only recognizes formal labor for a proper employer. I would go so far as to say that the employment rate is effectively always 95%+ for every popu

Over time I've concluded that a single standard for anything important simply isn't enough. It's best to accept that 2 standards and optionally a 3rd and 4th slot for upcoming standards are the best that can be done. Fixati

It seems that being unarmed in that situation would be safer, wouldn't it? One doesn't 'win' a gunfight so being armed is just a provocation - unless there's a strategy and intent to disable/kill right off the

The only answer is publicly-resourced protection and it's not that weird when you think about it. My apartment has a basic lock that any locksmith can undo and I'm safe because of my community and government protection (police, m

What I really like about him is that he didn't use a tax shelter. He also 'gave' money to the government that he otherwise could have used towards his recipients more aggressively.

They're kind of missing the most important point of altruism being "effective". It's not that the recipient is effective with the money, it's that the net value of one's altruism is higher if you work and make

The TLDR; version of this is the progression from amateur to expert: 1/ controls are set wrong in the first place, 2/ computer changes controls during the shot but it's distracting and obvious, 3/ controls are set right
