The grass is always greener on the other side. Working with, say, .NET stack you still have, in practice, to deal with substantial SQL apparatus. These two worlds (C# or VB.NET and SQL) are sufficiently distinct to form what is known as imp

Васильевский остров прекрасен как жаба в манжетах! Used to be, anyway. This is a general putdown of the city whose palaces resemble Versailles but are located on the marshland banks of the Neva river. St Petersburg deserves better.

St Petersburg was built as a European imperial city, and architecturally it is still very much that. (Outskirts are different, just like in Paris.) Religion (Orthodox Christianity) and script (Cyrillic) are different from the Western and Ce

No need to do it manually: use promethease, for instance. Still, it's quite inconvenient.

There is already an underclass of immigrants, those on H-1 visa (work visa), with all the restrictions of their position (employment restrictions, conditions on the length of stay in the country, and so on). Also students (F and J visas), s

Well, an ebook experience is about much, much more than just typesetting. (See eg some comments in this discussion.)

Your thesis assumes that Marxist sociology is a domain of knowledge. Apparently the parent hinted it is not. There is some controversy here, certainly. However people who have lived in, or learned about, the societies where the Marxist ideo

I like the way you described the difference between various positive attitudes. Thanks!

Because the quality of code correlates with the school prestige -- which, in turn, is built on the quality of education (or, at least, the quality of the graduates, may not be the same thing, if the quality of the applicants is also differe

I believe there is no such thing as "downvoted into oblivion" any longer. Still, the point about Eugenics is valid: even without the unfortunate associations with the events of the previous century, the term is rather vague.

Jobs was an asshole in more than one way. Having a "bold, opinionated leader" is one thing. Having a partner who stiffs you of a fair share is something else. (Good thing is Woz is so forgiving.)

Yes, they are (albeit less than many people think, and much less than in the past, but still there is a long road ahead for achieving equal treatment). This, however, is tangential. The point of discussion is profiling, which may or may not

You have seemingly replaced "Israelis" with "Jewish people" whereas about 20% of Israelis are not Jewish. I think if we discuss profiling it is important to see what kind of profiling, specifically, is applied, its reaso

Many Israelies are brown too. They do profile, but not quite this way.

I mostly agree. Cannot vouch for other Slavic people, but in Russia "чо лыбишься" ( wtf are you smiling at ) almost always greets me, and greeted while I was living there. One of the most fundamental reasons for me to move away to

Education was uneven. Some branches of science were top of the art; others less so, and some far behind.

Not necessarily. Space research and a few other special programs were different from the rest of the industry (both in the USSR and the USA). Greatly simplifying, I would say it like this: the top level of the industrial development in the

Also possible, their algorithms are incorrectly linking data from another person's records. Still a good idea to check, of course.

Isn't physique, like, orthogonal to fitness? Bodybuilding may be a way to get fit, but working out in general does not require it at all. I think the lesson we all can take from Arnold is the mental effort, strength of will and so on,

Are there any free market industries in the US? Free market is a theoretical model. One could say how well or how close it describes a specific situation (an industry, a region or country, and so on). But saying that something &quot

I think I can easily agree with that. As a citizen of the US I have signed the petition to pardon Snowden (any activities related to whistleblowing ; should there happen to be any actual spying or treason, that is excluded, but it does not

The law may have been followed but the perception may be different. People often (always?) reason in the perception world, then act (in the real world) based on the results of that reasoning.

Depends on the definition of a word. I18n is normally hard, and likely would make for an exciting discussion instead of just a tech interview.
