Well, an MBA that wants to promote their relative might need that "complicated but irrelevant problem" solved as a kind of "cover your ass" paper trail.

I thought that cheese production itself was a workaround for lactose intolerant? I mean, fermentation process removes most, if not all of the lactose, making cheese edible for people with intolerance?

Well, in many professions unions demand that you only hire unionized workers. Hire one person person who is not a member, and the union workers will go on strike. Sometimes it even get's codified into the law, that you have to consult

Unionization is for losers. If you're not confident in your skills and your value on the market then you want to artificially restrict employment options for your potential competitors.

Gallons per hundred miles would be more useful. I guess it's a matter of approach. Europeans are traveling familiar, constant distances and worry about fuel cost. Americans just fill up their tank and worry how far they can go :)

Well, for one, many areas now require "qualified majority vote" instead of unanimous decision. Few key countries (Germany, France and Italy) got their voting weights in both the Council of Ministers and the European Council increa

You have outdated info about how EU works. Since the Lisbon Treaty it is actually evolving towards single super-country, trying to strip member countries from their sovereignty (and mostly succeeding at that, unfortunately). EDIT: in a typ

Funny comparison, since that's exactly how English itself sounds to speakers of German, French, or Slavic languages. English has almost no grammar, words do not change their forms, endings, almost everything is coded by word order, and

This was a case in Poland as well. And the reason was simple: communist countries were in a constant supply crisis. Even when you had money you couldn't just go and buy material to build your own house, you had to steal it, otherwise y

In my country you can find child care located directly in apartment buildings. Seriously, some people simply buy an apartment on the ground floor and turn it into daycare facility. I guess it could be done in Brooklyn as well, if only zonin

I think it's a bit different: property tax taxes the actual property that is located on the piece of land, i.e. single family home, for its current value. Land value tax works differently: tax authorities ask themselves a question: &qu

Well, they might as well be props. Some companies will sell you something that looks like book, but isn't, just to make your office look good. I have even seen a wallpaper with image of a bookshelf :)

The problem I have with hardware based authentication, such as Yubikey is that it's a physical thing that can be taken away from you (or just break, or get lost), which makes me nervous. Maybe it's stupid, but the scenario I alway

Seems like it's 2024 and still nothing can beat a complex password saved in a password manager. With OTP as a good way of annoying users, and other ones being totally useless.

Given the recent history TSMC is kind of repeating Intel's mistake here: they do not want to pay for new generation of the ASML litography machines (which are like $300M a piece), so they will leverage the last-gen ones and try multi-p

Well, give it 1-2 more years and they will leapfrog TSMC with their manufacturing process. 18A is allegedly still on track, and Intel is also getting into foundry business, I can totally imagine NVIDIA switching to Intel for their next-gen
