Is it really (time-)tested? How do we know what is safe to consume, especially long-term? We don't really have proper data to support most claims. We did not track and log the causes of death throughout the vast majority of our history

Netherlands is only probable if he is under 30. AFAIK, no-one has ever received a Blue Card in the NL. The salary requirement is higher than for knowledge migrants, so it doesn't even make sense to try. Knowledge migrant law discrimina

Because working part-time you can't really advance very far in your career, and that is expected from men. From women, less so.

The problem with that is that once you get disassembled into particles, you're dead. The guy that shows up on the other side can look, feel, think and have the same memories as you, but won't be you.

Letting a country default is quite extreme.

I'm in the Netherlands. Google has access to Dutch public transport schedules, yet Google Now persistently fails to detect when I use public transport. It even tells me I parked my car at the train station! It is slowly getting better

True. The parent mentioned a girl so that made me forget about the Knowledge migrant path. It is by far a better solution. However, for people that are 30 or over, the salary requirement is on a high side.

Depending on where exactly you are from, the Dutch process will impose an exam on you and an income requirement for your partner, and can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Easier process than in the US, but not exactly an easy one.

My company outsources to Vietnam. At the beginning, we had time to review all the code, and we always had feedback on it. Only after several iterations would it be ok. We would review the code manually, and later also used tools such as Jen

If the workers decided these things they would never vote to outsource their own jobs and would rarely choose to pollute their own communities. In Communist Yugoslavia we had something like that. There were companies that were managed by th

That is £3 they charge you to do something that costs them nothing - to relay your call from their network to... their network.

I, as a native Serbian speaker, have a 100% understanding of what is being said on Croatian national TV, and 100% understanding when reading websites in Croatian. While the difference exists, calling it significant is just... untrue. For no

That is not completely fair, though. At the time of his arrival Nokia was a desperately sinking ship. The price would drop before rising no matter what direction the company took at the time.

I question the relevancy of that article from Forbes regarding Windows Phone. It is written by a Contributor, so it is basically an editorial piece. The sentence "Nokia becomes a low-end smartphone-maker" strikes me as particularl

They were thinking about survival maybe? I am not sure how much money they immediately received from MS for the deal, if any? But even if they diverse, what would be their Android marketshare? Would they have resources do build properly for

I think most of the commenters in this thread are overestimating Nokia's capability to beat Samsung were it to switch to Android. Samsung's marketing budget is so huge that I don't see how Nokia could ever compete, unless the

Despite having No-No sticker on my mailbox, I'm still getting a bunch of junk mail. It is frustrating. What's even more annoying is mail sent to a previous tennant.
