They raised valid points, I don't understand all the sudden snide remarks. Some companies are more tolerant of input and advice, others unfortunately are less so. It is not uncommon to find a workplace where the boss will tag you as a

I don't think it's Bernoulli, binomial rather?

But the fact they chose that career often implies they like it. The transactional nature of living wages is always there but let's not forget careers can be picked. In particular, art is something you usually don't do for money, a

I had the same thought, he cherishes making you laugh and having a good and interactive experience. He has different jokes for every country. When I received my Klein bottle, along came some papers from ACME with numbers and instructions. T

That last point trumps everything, really. You can't rely on preselected-target UAVs for most tasks. And we're far, far away from an AI smart enough to make those complex decisions on its own.

I've seen a few other links on these last weeks talking specifically about the 'metaverse', it doesn't seem implausible.

Something cool and kinda sad to behold - the plastic greenhouses in El Ejido grow as a white blob.

When we're talking about exchanging information between two parties, like on Sabine's hacker interception case, how is that quantum information exchanged? If it can be done through an electric cable, what forbids the hacker from j

The "Find a Pharmacy" option doesn't work for me either.

I don't agree with the language you used on your original post; however I can wholeheartedly concur on that idea of personal responsibility.

This sort of negativity is misleading. Someone who has been to actual failed states will see how Spain turned out pretty successful, and only thinks of itself as inferior because of psychological reasons. Corruption is of the same nature as

These points seem more applicable to me than the median productivity content.

Shameless plug for the UNED, as well. From what I've heard, it's very similar to FernUni: they have exam points you attend, and the rest is online and with UNED books (they used to have these hilariously Soviet-like designs). I co

I had my suspicions about their content being too idealistic, being directed to that 'flavor of the month' manager audience. But it's a sin that doesn't really go away with the Economist, either.

Related to the Economist's areas of writing: what do people think of Harvard Business Review? Does it have valuable content?

Completely true, many old homes in Madrid are freezing in the winter. New homes are more regulated in efficiency, however. I lived in a new A-rated flat with sophisticated central heating and thermosolar, paying 500€/mo for the actual

Misleading, yes, but what I meant is lying outright. The workplace has much lower tolerance for it. Would you concur in that small groups (like most workplaces) will avoid or barely tolerate bullshitters caught in the act?

Many people can remember an excuse like that. I met a few coworkers who get a kick out of this - and it makes you appear manipulative and erratic when I catch you on the lie. I prefer the truth - not a suspicion of the guy being a sociopath

I subscribe to some of aspects of classical liberalism, and the Economist was a must read for me during years. It explains good ideas, but I would notice a strange formulaic structure they often used. Many poor-quality articles were subtitl

UBI as a macroeconomic lever to pull is an intriguing idea - hadn't thought of that consequence. Although it figures changing the amounts would get extremely political.

No - that's why it is a mob.

Of course a version of it existed, but the going concern with cancel culture is that it doesn't require much thought or effort to cancel someone now. Social media allows you to easily join a mob without judging a person deeply by yours

Mathematically it makes sense for a two-party system to emerge, after the smaller parties are weeded out after some years of running unsuccessfully. Most people will accept compromise of their ideals to "fight some greater evil".

Explainers-first shouldn't be fired if they make up a small percentage, because they do a wonderful job without the bulk of resources. I'm not sure if explainers-first are the minority, though. After all, it's much easier to
