Right. The more telling number to use here would probably be a median salary.

IANAL, but that seems like it would fall under perjury, and it would be way too easy for them to get caught doing it. It seems like if any of the custumers have proof that they were actually customers (e.g. credit card records), then thats

Clearly the idea has worked in Russia, but I find it hard to see how charging a flat rate can be financially viable. The pricing seems like such a fine line to make it cheap enough for its intended usage (people hanging around and such) but

I agree that it will settle into an informal hierarchy, but I think that is exactly what they are looking for. They mention that they are looking for natural leaders to step up and such. I think the beauty of this plan, if it works, is that

Sure, lets make emergency responders only available to people that can afford it. Your husband is beating you, but you don't have your own income? Sorry, out of luck. You're poor and unemployed and having a health emergency that w

I've heard good things about the anaconda distribution as far as setup and everything goes for scientific computation purposes. Comes with most packages you'd need: https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda&#x

I don't know about anything like Codecademy for C++, but based on my personal experience learning C++, I'd recommend starting with a solid foundation in C. C is, for beginner intents and purposes, a subset of C++, and understand t

Its never too late to get started down the PhD road. At least in my department, most PhD canidates aren't fresh out of school, they've usually taken at least a year or two and worked in industry of some sort and then applied. My o

With regards to "Mexican", I think he meant referring to anyone of hispanic/latino descent as "Mexican". Its offensive in the same way as referring to any Asian nationality as "Chinese".

Its not my area, so I don't know how easy it is to do, but I do think it could be a space for a third-party to step in. Someone figures out how to handle the twitter/payment side, reaches out to some local breweries/bars, tak

For the brewery its the same benefits as gift cards: Not everyone that receives one will actually use the money. On top of that, free advertising.

When it comes to the idea of treatment, there is an interesting hiccup. I can't find the statistic right now unfortunately, but I've heard it in many instances that somewhere near half of mentally ill individuals don't believe they are men

If your speed of development is glacial in C, then perhaps its that the skills of your developers that are inadequate.
