I graduated from a meritocratic institution 20 years ago. Got there on a scholarship, studied unhindered by the politics of the day for 5 years, and it made me who I am today. Unfortunately the same institution is today spending too much ti

Free thinking means to create your own fact based opinion without ideological bias. Now, we should be afraid to think freely on thorny topics lest we end up offending someone's feelings. It could also come at the cost of careers and l

It may have started that way, but then progress was made based on the principle of meritocracy. Now it is regressing due to vague "social justice" principles.

This is a good piece with examples of attacks by the ideologically militant multitude against what is unfortunately these days the free thinking minority. If these attacks succeed, education is on its way to moral bankruptcy.

Mapping services are all a work in progress. Even Google Maps has been giving some strange responses lately. Say, a location deep in south west Germany shows up as Denmark on GMaps: https://twitter.com/geolytica/status

Seems like his life mission was to become a communist on his own accord, and now that he has achieved that, he is happy. Good that worked out for him.

WBM is like a content snapshot. You can't go back in time and change anything. That's why it is better than linking to the original.

It wasn't civil war, it was anarchy. I was there. People lost the money they thought they had 'invested' for irrational high returns (sometimes over 20% a month). Then they started protesting when the schemes collapsed. Certa

Just like you, I quit my day job in my early 30s, and have not looked back since. Have founded a dozen companies in the meantime and am currently having the best financial year of my 15 year solo-founder career. My advice is, hang in there.

In a Communist dictatorship like Albania (where I grew up) it was sound government policy to raid the wealthy in times of financial need. We are a long way from that, but some leftist politicians are leaning hard in that direction.

I have a Revolut debit card/account but I've never used it. Why? I can not fund it via PayPal, Stripe , etc.. making it useless in my case. They should learn from Transferwise.

I own a model 3. It is a great car, far ahead of the competition. I've had more issues with it than i did with my previous car (honda accord). Eg, blackscreen - many times, and once an unintended acceleration.

She raises valid points. The pendulum has swung too far to the left, at least in the press. The news reading average person is being constantly reminded to comply with this type of ideological straightjacket.
