Yes. For taking money/profiting. They didn't do it just it by 'mistake', or by incompetence. How do you think mafia operates in Italy? They infiltrate their solders in every part of the government (especially local go

I think you are misreading it, I am not judging Sergei and Larry negatively.... What I am saying is that their decision makes total sense, and there is no reason to chide on them on 'why they are not dealing with the employe' prob

Unless it there is more behind the scenes, the letter is basically saying: We don't want to deal, or like/enjoy dealing with this pesky employee stuff. We don't have the time, energy, or enjoy it, and they'd rather do s

You never lived in a communist state, have you? Do you even realize that even basic things were fucked up beyond belief/comprehension to the average american. (perhaps not, to the average foreigner that have lived in failed states). A

I think that electronics/computers by itself do not have much to do with with the fall of soviet union. USSR fell because: 1. its economic model was dysfunctional and a failure 2. Its moderate leaders (aka Gorbachev and his allies), d

Tesla has 2, so that's 4x in just three years. There is no reason for VW to not build more, if the demand is there. If the demand is not there, then it can become a financial disaster.

This argument just doesn't make sense. You can make the exact point about airports as well. What's the point of an airport? It is hard to get there, you have to rent a car, parking is expensive, too much trafic, busses are not t

Do you feel the same about lawyers and other highly paid jobs? Is being a lawyer any more intellectually challenging that being an engineer.... (honest question, as lawyers at big firms start at around 150k+ as first year associates)

I might disagree.... if you were a kid in the 90s, you were player at Peak 2D, (NES,SNES, Arcade, Neo Geo), and early 3D, both in PC and consoles where publishers were experimenting. You had completely new genres of games being invented

Great games..... I really feel that peak gaming was in 90s/early 2000s. You had C&C, Total Annihilation, Age of Empires, Quake 1/2, Half Life, Pro Evo Soccer, and so many more in the PC side, and probably a SNES or a N64 aro

I think the culture of generic chains is what makes most of the food in Middle America so bad, and most small local places would be better than MCD. (Also, I am not talking about the coasts, they don't have that problem).

Comp Science major here, I still think these type of questions are not relevant years down the road, unless you explicitly are working with them. (eg. most database systems, log storage, and such will have to deal with such optimizations)

True, but If it is balanced with the exports, then it is still zero overall. (eg. if your renewable exports are substituting dirty energy somewhere else). I don't know what the current ratio is, but I do know that Rainfall directly
