If half of my coworkers got laid off, I'd be running away from the company faster than light. Staying after they pull a stunt like that only means waiting until they pull another one (or the company just collapses from the shock of los

I totally disagree. If you actually contribute to a conversation (which means saying something which is considered relevant by the people taking part in it - not just saying something random) people will reply to you or share your views or

Establishing a colony on another planet is going to require a monstrous amount of money, time and resources. I doubt a single country could manage it (look at what it takes to run the ISS, and that's a joke comparse to Mars), but there

Probably because you can move between U.S. states without a visa, which is required to permanently work in another country. I feel like Google could do something similar between it's different offices in the Schengen area, but moving f

At the moment, ads are only displayed in public channels with at least 1.000 users, so they are still pretty rare to come by (like, I use Telegram regularly and only see them every other day). Plus, I've heard that some clients aren&#x
