I used to live in a studio (high ceilings) in Chelsea, Manhattan. I paid 500 for a projector and you can use almost any speaker. You can get a good one for 500 these days. So the whole cost is 1000. The speaker need not be very loud and one

No better way to learn than by trial and error. If your team is reasonable they will point out why something is easier or harder than you thought. And that's part of learning so you shouldn't feel bad about it. Would you be upset

I went to high school in Romania and first two years of college as well. We did tons of theory on about 2/3 (if not 3/4) of the material here (I also covered some of it when I continued my college in Montreal, Canada). But that to

True there’s no right to a market. At the end of the day they can impose any rules they like and it’s up to companies to accept them or not. But don’t make China look like a sad puppy who needs help. It’s a ferocious tiger (good for them) w

Leaving history aside (do we really want to apply 16th century economics rules today? No) your statement that any country would do the same thing is untrue in many ways. There are IP laws that protect a comoany's right to keep its secr
