Probably seeing the stock lose more than half of it's value by pulling from the biggest market it operates in would see Google reverting their stance quickly. Also, most likely, you would see bing+other local search engines gain tracti

Not disputing you, but I have heard this story recounted a lot in various ways, but when I remember digging deeper into it, there were things that just didn't match up (basically, the amount of crop that could blew to their fields vs w

I went to a casino that sorta does this, but isn't 'free'. But for every dollar or so you spend, you get casino dollars to spend on food/drink (no idea of the real dollar to casino dollar) Went there with a friend that s

Maybe, depends on where you are located (outside any big tech hub, probably not) and your experience (if we go by the out of college starting a startup, I don't see a lot of companies paying consulting fees to 25 year olds with very na

Yep, they are called Golden Visas. If you buy a property more expensive than 500.000 Euros you may apply for it. There were a few nags and some corruption charges a while ago so not sure what the current status is. There is also some tax br

Lisbon, Porto and south of Portugal has seen a boom on foreign investment on properties. There are locations that if you email the agency, the first thing they mention is all the tax advantages of buying here for non foreigners. There is a

Not GP but I think he means friends are those folks that are there for everything, from the birth of your kid to picking you up drunk at 5 am from the pub kind of thing. If the interaction you have with someone is 95% based around a single

And ask any doctor if what they did is the very best for their kid. The stress, the lack of bonding, the (I assume by 100+ hours a week) bottle feeding from the first few days. If you can do it, sure, if you can have it all (as in, do the b

It's not even that. Stress (and being a founder is a very stressful time) is a very big no-no during pregnancy and can influence the gene expression of the baby. But Even sane working hours are a problem. Here is a bit of a cognitive d

I've been asked to do a few of these a while ago while searching for a job. Don't remember if I did HackerRank though. I don't really like it. I scored well in most that I did, but as some folks mentioned, they either test th

I don't think it is a void of ideas, but more of a way of your brain saying this isn't worth it so lets forget about it. Since my kid was born, every idea I have goes through a process of 'will it make money'->'h

Agreed. While a few artist keep a few _01 _02 files around, mostly as backup/undo files, my last few years in the industry, they all used some kind of version control (maybe not git, but perforce and svn with their visual tools)

It depends. Hear me out. When people say they are a generalist, they actually mean they know a bit of JS and whatever the framework of the moment, a bit of rails (or Django or Play) and they can come up with a bash script. If this is you, b
