Do you have any evidence to support your story or is it pure fiction?

That's a lot of imagining you're doing right there. The US is not Austria. It has ~310m more people. The China example is just lol worthy.

Anything of interest was long moved to be used later. Don't kid yourself. Often times to control the so called revolutionaries.

I can think of an exception to every rule. Also, Switzerland does not vote on every law with a referendum.

Yes, I would very much like to live in a world where people make decisions after some pondering and consideration. That would be swell. Nobody can (or should) think for you. A bit offtopic (or not): One of the major differences (if not THE)

You most certainly cannot dissever talent from the rest of the variables. Field studies? Pp-lee-ase. Take that voodoo science somewhere else. Field studies' purpose is not to give answers but to definite more concrete questions. To ser

Warren Buffet does not rely on chance to make his investments.

I highly doubt anybody can make such a study, because nobody can get such an experiment? What did they do? Measured talent in infants, forbade them to practice and compared to practiced individuals? Heh :) Don't be ridiculous. The stud

This. I haven't seen meaningful lifts from changing button colors, wording or all these things I read on guru blogs. Most (all) of the tests I've seen reported on blogs fail miserably at the statistical test, not to mention no DoE

Practically all of the advertising on the internet is purchased on per impression basis. It falls into 2 categories: 1) Advertisers paying straight per mille i.e. mr. Proper, Coca-Cola, Lays, etc. Direct outcomes are secondary to them (at b

>ads stopped being pay-per-impression around 2001 or so. Care to back that up with some proof. Cuz I have a pretty clear picture of ad spending and this is not true at all.

I found this thread on the front page (#1 spot). I read all the comments and when I checked the front page again, it was nowhere to be seen. At the moment of this comment it has 270 points in 1 hour... WTF?

Water treatment is private where I am. Some places in the country it's (still) government ruled. They are on a regimen every other month it seems. Also the streets turn into rivers when it rains heavily. Oh... and their bills are highe

And who is going to be in charge of them? Will they not become corrupt? That's a rhetorical question, of course. When they do get corrupt what do we do, since it's the same guys with the guns and court houses?

I'm not the OP, but if you slow read you will quickly find out whether the books is worthwhile or not. I don't think finding books is that hard, especially novels. For technical knowledge, I regularly read reference books and lite

Some people believe multitasking is a myth. I'm one of those people. I also believe when listening audio books, you shouldn't do anything else. Probably not even driving. Laying in bed or sitting in the sofa are my best ways. Lots

Although Microsoft was sued for browsers and APIs, their true anti-competitive behavior lied elsewhere - pricing strategies. They will probably do it again too. I can't wait for all the surprised faces "but, but, but... windows ha
