Get the iPhone Mini, you won't regret it. I've used up 5 of the original SEs. The iPhone Mini's design is perfect and the actual SE in terms of usability. This SE has those round edges again which significantly lessens the gr

It seems that the only option left for Putin is the "nuclear" one (no pun intended) now that the whole world is seeing that the Russian army lost its morale, and its teeth. Old equipment, young soldiers that are harder to brainwas

As someone who has been poor 10 years ago, trying to raise a family, that’s just false. We had to deal with the literal situation from the quote: shoes. We could only afford cheap ones for our children and the shoes “broke” before they grew

I will never let a chance slide to quote one of my favourite passages from my favourite author and fantasy series: the Discworld, Terry Pratchett (GNU!): "The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed

You sound like a great person to work with and for. And I applaud your healthy look on the situation. Which can’t always have been / be, easy. But you’re wearing that scapegoat mantle with pride, and a touch of compassion. Some people

Comfort yourself in the knowledge that for most of the population, it's the other way around. We're all gifted in our own ways, and we need every "type" for a functioning society. Plus, if things get too wild, and we&#x2

This is meant in the context of genetic survival. Homo sapiens were, eventually, better equipped to reproduce and survive. And if you read the article, it mentions at the bottom that part of the Neanderthal genes have been... essentially as

He also said “build something small for a small audience” and that applies to the start of all the companies you mentioned. Even Google. Back then, the internet was small, and enthousiasts a small group (relative to the global population).

Thanks! It's a familiar read. These days I prefer the pragmatic approach. - Test features, not units (the time spent vs time saved is meh). So when something breaks, you can take it from there. Start digging. - Build features - Fix bug

Not quite a database, nor the type of Pokemon conflict you were probably looking for, but at least it's a good read! https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/8siha6/father_an...

No that wasn’t the point at all. Corporate death penalty was a completely overblown analogy by someone else. What this is about is that a manager / CEO / shareholder can be held personally accountable with punishment that could in

It does make sense. You're confusing corporate liability with personal liability. The parent's point is that if the investors / shareholders would be responsible. Stuff like this would be severely reduced because resources wo

The key part of his suggestion was “remote”. As someone else mentioned, you’re net positive comparing a high salary, living in London, with a lower paying job, living elsewhere. If you live somewhere else, you could do with less income in a

Which is precisely my point. Amazon is forcing competitors out of business. And once they have a monopoly, history teaches us they will have no incentives left to keep their prices down, and introduce the very shitty prices you speak off. H

And it’s a negative cycle. Those already budget stretched people are getting paid poorly by Amazon, so they too will shop at Amazon. We’re not there yet but the cycle is reminiscent of the factory owners with factory stores and pubs where t
