In a philosophical point, aren't all suicides are euthanasia? People suicide because they are suffering and they do not see any other way out to end the suffering. Edit: I know that there are problems that can be fixed and problems tha

Actually, smart watches could be very helpful in that case: If an alarm happens, the watch can vibrate very intensely to wake the user up.

The regular Work visa is hard to get yes if you are older, but Blue Card does not have any age requirements or savings, as far as I know (otherwise, I would not be able to get it in the first place). I assume most of the readers here would

How do you secure it? People steal Amazon packages regularly, I think they would not hesitate to steal something that says "Instacart" on it.

They are really not hard to get, especially in Germany. Obtaining the visa to enter the country and starting the work, took only a day (plus another day for the consulate to ship my passport) and the card was issued within 6 weeks after my

At least in Germany, they give special residence permits right now for British citizens as a temporary solution. Edit: if you live in Berlin: https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/328595/

I feel like the power to reset emails and remove 2fa should be only held by a very small subset of customer support, with proper training.

No, it does not. By downloading the images to Gmail's/mail providers cache, they are effectively giving the impression that the user opened the mail just when it was delivered. The mail provider then shows their cache when you ope

Public transport is very good, so you usually do not need a car within the city, a small car is enough for most of the tasks.

I do not think so, I think the spammers are still out there, armed with cheap cloud email providers, but the "block by default" is putting a nice dent on them.

No, I think that there are just too many spammers, so big players have no choice except to make it hard to own your mail server until your server gains positive reputation.

Well, that could lead to people claiming that they do not have proper internet access, even they had, just to be back at US. Still, I feel like this is not a good thing to do, people are there to study and losing bright minds like these sho

This is how it works in the countries that I lived. Every order that placed before 14:00 or 17:00 (based on the shop/site) would be shipped the same day, others would be shipped next day. Whenever you want to set up a shop and sell ove

I actually disagree with this. In big companies, everybody completes a piece of the puzzle and if you are the one who collects all the pieces, you might think that you are doing the most of the work. But actually, everybody is a part of tha

I do know that they have limited the creation and looking at the docs for limitation, it seems like they have a 750 requests per second limit per space, which might not scale well. My idea was to create multiple spaces to distribute a load,

My experience visiting there disagrees. They have a large amount of land, but they also have sandstorms, along with sand being everywhere. In the long run, the maintenance should outweigh the benefits, unless they find a way to deal with th
