If you make anything a product you better make sure it is worth the money you are asking for it. Clearly, this is not the case with paid education in US, UK and some other developed countries.

I think very few actual people click on ads. Ad exchange platforms get majority of their revenue from impressions anyway.

I can imagine this works well in Israel, but for most countries, mandatory service is a complete waste of resources. Paying huge amounts of money for people who do not want to be there get skills they do not need, at the point in life which

Thats why I love the only tech question we give to people: Write me a stopwatch. Pick a tech, define the features yourself, and make it while explaining what you're doing. There is actually an incredible amount of technical nuance in t

Maybe this guy is a genuine Lord, but just so you know, you can get Lord on your bankcard thanks to Scottish law where you buy a square foot of land in the highlands somewhere and can legally call yourself "Laird" of that land, an

Dunno if the article mentiones that, since I dont have a nytimes sub, but the absolute worst thing about QR codes is that they make phishing very easy. Just slap a fake sticker on top of the genuine one, which looks the same save for the co

They had a weekend of free ship flytesting or something. I wanted to check the game out so I configured my joystick but had a bit of trouble starting and ended up crashing and going to prison. I was annoyed at the quest, I just wanted to fl

the loan has a very low interest rate, you wont ever get another loan like this, and if you never earn above a certain limit you never have to pay it. its a very good thing. the degree costing 9k however is bullshit

It was a very close vote, far from a clear winner. Some people want it. I believe far less than 50% nowdays.

In a test project for new location services inside a mobile network, I was provisioning 1000 employees with new sim cards, and inevitably a few got mixed up. One of those was someone's secretary who ended up having a phone number of so

OP here. This is the best advice. Although I do intend to do some travelling, I always detest when people put some sort of life-worth qualifier onto it, as if you havent lived your life if you havent done some milage. Thats just bullshit, o

Your last point is important. If you don't earn enough, the loan is never repaid. Also, in the last 10 years or so the cost was tripled.

OP here, learning to sail is one of my dreams and a potential candidate for first thing Ill want to do this year after quitting. Do you have any tips? I have some very small experience in it.

I only heard about it from friends here in UK, and they would typically do it between collage and uni. Thats when I came here and had to start working to support myself.

Im quitting and not looking for another job. Gonna use the savings to take a gap year, or a couple, work on some stuff I want maybe. Maybe more involvement in OSS is coming too? I've never had a gap year, it was all school, then immigr

What sites have done better after being sold after being already successful? This is an honest question, theres probably some but I dont know. Most known sites seem to fade into obscurity after a high profile purchase.

I have and the truth seems to be that if the miner took good care of the card it will probably be fine. Thats why I said "potential". This is not an acceptable risk when Im spending big on gaming hardware. edit: just to be clear,

tbf I wouldn't buy a cheaper used gaming card from a miner, because of potential ware. Electronics ware off, and a mining card would have been taxed much more than any card used for gaming.

IMHO if you eat fish youre just not a vegetarian but pascaterian. There are strong roots for this behaviour in the Catholic faith, which prohibits eating non-fish meat on certain days. Funnily enough that doesn't include beavers, platy

Not sure why you think the way China does it has to be the only way it can be done. It's exactly like shouting "COMMUNISM!!!!" at every social policy idea. Get a grip.

IMHO there should be a separate, encrypted-only, ID-required network for "serious internet business". Keep the free and open part open and free (and semi anonymous), but have another area which is more controlled. I'm not say

Well spies are professional liars. I guess it's just as hard for them to not bring their work to home (country) as it is for professional boxers not to keep practicing their job on their spouse.

"I am blown away that a software this cryptic and hard to use can exist in 2020" A common misconception. Most software is bad. There is more software now than any time before. Therefore, the amount of bad software increases with t
