This story actually was on the front page, which is also why I don't give your link an upvote. But maybe not by you. Btw retransmitting is frowned upon in most communities and can even result in bans.

Have you heard the term "sexually transmitted desease"?

I think this is the kind of stupidity that women actually filter for, not filter against. Because that kind of stupidity can only come with a save and comparatively rich life.

People need to experience true risk and true loss before they develop true feeling. Before that it's all flat and simple. Of course it's hard to say if you would like someone to experience such a bad thing to gain that inside or r

I always cringe a little when I read these naive white-boy style of stories, in form of documentaries or texts like this one. Reminds me so much of how I acted the first time I was in a country where people are still required to face realit

I would even argue that you have a point here. But the example is one where centralization through exchanges is the actual problem, not decentralization. Maybe find another example?

You have a database where people can say "I want to buy x amount item of type y for at most price z" and "I want to sell x' amount item of type y' for at least price z'". And if the database finds a match

What's the difference between Wash Trading of a company and money printing + fake (e.g. construction) projects by a government? A little sad to see that all the banking problems are still existing with Bitcoin as well.

I bet Guangdong uses more energy. Maybe the title should be changed to "any other state in the US"?

I honestly believe even many Germans don't know that, because I really never heard anybody saying something like this before. So thanks a lot, I certainly try to honor it now that I know it.

It seems to me like every second country is an education superpower now and feels quite special about it. What do we get if we combine this information with that most students don't feel they've learned in school the skills they n

I don't know about other users but I use FF less and less. I don't need all this additional stuff. And it was painful how we lost features like the firebug plugin. It's a pity considering a few years back I was the greatest F

Can you be more specific? This is the first time I hear someone say that. I'm educated to individually write CVs for each company related to what they need. I never needed to provide any proof either.

TL;DR major shareholders want to make profit, therefore found a way to kick out visionary CEO to replace with MBA/financial CEO. Without a publicliy valid reason they just complained about the CV, a document which barely ever is 100% h

In enterprise installations people only install software that they can receive support for. So the biggest server farms probably all run something like RHEL or SLES. Of course for private usage it's a little ove rthe top. But RH also o

Why is there no explanation for this? It seems weird to deprecate something that most people haven't even started using yet.

I should have said as last line: A creditor gives debt for guaranteed interest and may get something to say, but usually not as long as you pay on time.

Thanks for this inside. My personal believe is that I need to overcome personal feelings because I want to make a big buck, but not everybody thinks like that. The personal view of oneself can be a much stronger force.

Well, does a creditor have to push you into bankruptcy? They seldomly do, because then they can't squeeze more money or control out of you. And at the same time an investor could also push you into bankruptcy by suggesting, supporting

Having debt is not a big deal, it's not so different from having investors. Investor gives you money for guaranteed say in your business strategy. He may get some interest on his investment or not, no guarantee. Banker gives debt for g

I find the first part particularly interesting. I always contemplated of whether or not I should start blogging. And for me it always seemed an obvious choice between whether or not I want to host my own blog, which would mean a lot of ener

Or trust people's willingness to make money. Because of that fight in the end nobody developed that idea, and the money that both sides could have invested into development instead went to the lawyers.

This was also hard to understand for me. But think about all the benefits people in higher positions have if people in lower positions take initiative. The higher ups can reap most of the rewards of successes while blaming all failures on t

I'm not in the US but that is exactly how it happened to me. Boss thought my idea was his because I'm his employee. Lawyers thought the same.

I'm not a lawyer. I also thought it works differently until a boss thought he can sue me for a separate business idea I developed. I told my boss about it because I thought he would fund it and we would become rich together. He thought

1. I tell my boss I need this and only use it on non-business-core code. 2. He understands that open-source != raise. 3. He agrees. (the funny thing is, that the open-source code a programmer can benefit the most on is rarely that what a bu

Exactly this experience happens in big teams internally as well. It works like this according to my experience: You see a problem before it really does financial harm to the company. You start developing a solution. You expect to get reward

The opposite. In my country it's really hard to get any ownership of your content if you are an employee. For instance you work as secretary for a bodyguard company and in your private time lead a pop-rock band. It's not impossibl

I really like this argument. And if judge the CEOs personality correctly he will have told 500 people that he's the boss of SoundCloud BEFORE even telling his name once.
