I have passed the scientific variant of the baccalaureat, which only includes 5 hours a week of Philosohpy, so I can't talk for those who are in the literary variant. However, in my experience it has been mostly about coming up with a coher

Sadly it's a very common behavior. I have seen companies who will blacklist your phone number once they ruled you out. So you have a number, call them, interview, and after the interview when you try to call again to get an answer, you are

Did just the same, 197€ with VAT and shipping isn't too bad. I guess the first lucky few will have them by the end of the week, the rest of us by next week (I'd imagine they staffed up for deliveries but will still be overwhelmed since all

Amazing summary, I will bookmark this even though I am french. With my co-founders, we've been looking to chose a bank and an accountant to officially start the company for some time now, and have been baffled by how much the banks charge c

Legitimate link building is basically press and blogs relations (to maybe get links from journalists and bloggers, give them free stuff) and content marketing (invite a blogger to write for your blog, or write content on other blogs, and ma

Today in France, most people in cities can have access to 100Mbps/5Mbps. Low upload speeds have been a constant around here since the first broadband offering, with upload speeds capping at roughly one tenth or on twentielth of download spe

Don't forget FTTLA, which is vastly available in the most densely populated urban areas - it is not as fast as FTTH when there are a lot of households connected to the last amplifier, but i'd say roughly 20% of households could have access

I believe the point was that this would not be 16/9 ratio, not even 16/10, but 128/85. Which would seem to be better because, frankly, 16/9 looks good on TVs but is really quite terrible on a computer. I even find 16/10 barely acceptable.

They almost always mean USA citizens. Although Canadians may be included too.

One thing that is not mentioned is that in some European countries (like in France where I live), there is no limit to the amount of data transfer you can use in a month -- that is, on the home optic fiber lines, not on the mobile ones. I h

I feel the same, and most of the people I know (ie young graduates related to tech/marketing) do too. I would argue that's also the case in the general population because in the last presidential election nearly 18 percent voted for the far

I'm not saying I favor their solution, just that it would be consistent since they fought for it when the right wing had majority rule. The biggest issue I see is, since it would involve some sort of administrative power to redistribute, it

It was something the new socialist government was bound to do, the only question was when and how. Cutting budget seems like the smartest way to do this, given the economic context. Now let's see if they try what they were preaching 3 years

Unfortunately this bad practice is widely adopted and only spreading. It's this kind of BS that makes me create fake facebook or twitter accounts to log on shady sites like Quora.

Agreed. I'm on the verge of leaving facebook, I've been for quite some time. Their stupid change in chat (people know when you read what they wrote) almost made me quit, but Chrome extensions to disable it allowed me to stay. With such a mo

Would it have been better ? I'll prefer a company that produces massive advances like these to one that would just provide better service or lower costs for some customers at some point in time. We had some big advances in France too, when

If you're not american, this can also come in handy when you want to register a new App Store account and are tired of having to trick the UI every time because of stupid country limitations.

I strongly clicked with the Investor part. It's funny that every one and their mother is saying they are part of a seed fund these days, while they do not invest in companies that have less than 2 years/15 employees/numerous clients/revenue

I don't think a business leader, no matter how charismatic, is the most well suited person to talk about copying, since his business probably holds a lot of patents, which may or may be justified. In this case, the level of absurdity we rea

Good point. However, I think even Mr Murdoch's personal wealth could not sustain the losses of digital news outlets should Google comply and stop indexing them. By any means, they just have to put a little piece of text in their robots file

Sometimes I just wish they would go out of business already. I think google should stop infringing their copyright too. You know, indexing Their Stuff and making links to it. That could do the trick. I wonder what they'd say then. We see fi

Also notice how they talk about "stealing" in-app content. And i thought this term did not apply when only copying stuff without depriving the original owner of it... I don't know the site but I wonder if they'd say the same if it was for d

If you can read French, there is a news outlet called PCINpact.com that consistently reports on everything that happens on the IP 'scene'. They offer regular updates and thorough research when it is necessary, and are one of the major voice
