It sounds like you feel your dream is unachievable, not that it's the wrong dream. I'd at least spend some more time exploring how else you can achieve it. Transfer to a different school without switching fields? Do the 5 year pro

I've encountered various situations that could all be described this way but for very different reasons. eg. 1) The feedback is not actionable because the manager is themselves not clear in their head or is skirting around the real iss

In a societal collapse scenario, you probably want to live in a country with decent defence ability and enough clout to throw its weight around in international diplomacy, even if quality of life is lower than some of the smaller, better lo

I've been to this shop. Interestingly, his 'new' business is also something of a relic of the past. At some point in history the post office in Panjim started insisting that it is mandatory for international packages to be se

Yeah. The foreign known brands are mostly imports and quite expensive in India. No one here regularly pays $3 for a beer at a supermarket. Even a higher end local microbrew is $1.50 - $2. Mass market lagers are more like $0.80

Speak with the other investor, negotiate a buyout or negotiate exit terms and equity. I'm guessing you'd own 10% if you left after one year and left the rest unvested. You may need to risk a small chance of owning 40% of nothing t

I read it as implying that the workers have no faith in public institutions to give them justice.

I'm not very familiar with US taxation, but when you do this, don't the transfers end up taxable? Eg. Shouldn't the Nevada company license fee have some sort of CA sales tax on it?

What I specifically found useful about poker is helps you internalize the process of applying theoretical knowledge through repeated practice playing and analyzing thousands of hands. The incomplete information and multiple factors involved

It has already spread to villages. The ridiculously haphazard implementation of the lockdown led to a widespread migration of people back to their homes - which are often villages. Lucky for the government, theres no one there to challenge

> On the other hand, locking in a monopolistic player, particularly in the context of a government that has shown a desire for more control over the flow of information is a real downside. This may warrant more than a single sentence. Th

You own a widget factory and I buy widgets from you. All of a sudden I don't need widgets, and I no longer need your products and stop paying for them. You may have bought raw materials, hired people, set up a warehouse and stocked it

They also own close to a majority stake in OYO, with pretty much the same story. OYO is also entering coworking now after Softbank had to scale back on their planned wework investment. The common thread seems to be that real estate has a ma

I think it's still done by Foxconn, just at an Indian facility. Chinese company in India, not domestic capability.

You mean a sparse enough area? I've generally found dense areas are more homogeneous while even neighboring villages in sparsely populated areas with bad roads and no telecommunications tend to be very different. Makes intuitive sense

You could try sendy (sendy.co) - self hosted with a one time cost. Worked well for us on a $5/month vps. The UI is not as slick as mailchimp and the composer isn't as good, but it works if your needs are simple.

Subjecting employees who cannot sign their own name to the whims of their employer is not the solution either. Without unions, working conditions would be disastrous. Look up the shipbreaking yards of Pakistan or unlicensed coal mines in In
