Most good tutors would probably be working around 20 hours a week, with an additional 10-20 hours of unpaid preparation time. This explains the disparity with teacher salaries.

While I agree with Branson's arguments in general, the statistics he uses to support them seem very suspicious to me. He appears to be picking and choosing particular statistics that support his claims while ignoring others. For example, he

What does the slogan mean? I read it as either "supporting SOPA means not supporting Comcast" or "yes, SOPA will result in Comcast being shut down", neither of which make any sense.

Sleep certainly is important but things like "Educational programs about sleep, health, and safety should be mandatory" and "Additionally, companies should provide annual screening for sleep disorders in order to identify those who might be

Well, the Australian dollar has doubled in value. That makes it much harder to migrate.

The first section of the article seems like a good argument for why firms should focus primarily on absolute long-term profit. Then the author ignores this and starts talking about "customer delight", without any justification for its impor

It's also possible to convincingly falsify that information, and appear to be reliable to uninformed investors. The market will provide a way to find only reliable investments, but it will also provide many ways for swindlers to find their

This is just a guess, but if they were set up in the Netherlands, wouldn't they have to pay Dutch taxes? My impression is that they don't have to pay Dutch taxes because the money is just passing through the Netherlands, not being earned th

Here in Australia kids get 6 weeks off in summer, plus 2 weeks in autumn, winter, and spring. This seems much more sensible than getting everything off over the summer.

I don't think Cloudant's move was even particularly bad PR. Cloudant doesn't sell to the 99%, they sell to businesses. Businesses are going to be impressed that a large multinational corporation trusts Cloudant with their data, and probably

How can you spend "$25 billion in K-12 school infrastructure" and "$1 billion to support NextGen air traffic modernization" "all without adding a dime to the deficit"? I think the programs should go ahead deficit or no, but it does seem lik

Under Jobs' leadership, Apple has done 10 times the amount of relevant homework of most companies — internal competitions, supply chain training, endless deal-making, endless recruiting, training, and generating and sustaining employee exc

After reading that I had to stop and remind myself that Jobs isn't dead yet; the article read like an obituary.

According to the article, though, voltage is not a valid proxy for sunlight collected. Voltage measures the energy per photon, current measures the number of photons.

"play 10 random country" isn't really intuitive at all. "Play a bunch of country songs" is what someone might actually say, or maybe "I wanna listen to some c&w". The computer's got to be able to understand this, which isn't likely.

The problem with having read_string return the length is that you have to write while (read_string(s) > 5) // loop until the string length is greater than 5 because it's not intuitive that read_string will return the length of th

I haven't tried it, but I think you can mod out hats. You can certainly host a server which restricts players to only the original weapons, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone's already done that.

"Cyber warfare" has far more in common with international espionage than actual warfare. China and the US have been constantly spying on each other for 65 years, maybe longer. Rarely do such actions constitute grounds for a war. The big dif

From the article: "The targeting of specific U.S. officials is not something that a mere hacker gang could do." This is patently false. Anyone could target a U.S. official, and many could even succeed. Nevertheless, the other arguments the

There's a sensible reason for implementing a law of this kind - if they catch the guy that wrote Zeus, I'd like them to be able to prosecute him (not that they could, as he's probably not in the EU, but you get the idea). Of course, it does
