If your money doesn't buy you happiness, you are spending it wrong. It's a well known fact that GDP per capita is well correlated with other indicators made by organisations with a liberal agenda, such as the HDI - so much that it is proble

The title is a bit misleading. It's not an attack, more like well done social engineering. But the context is very helpful - especially with the amount of detail you provide, along with the email exchange, one can see the target was totally

You are correct. While proofreading I realized my irony might cause confusion, so I edited it away. My apologies, I upvoted you since you present a solution. There are many things in the health system I find highly illogical, and sometimes

Right, vacations certainly. I overreacted :-/ Try linkedin - many groups are announced there. Most are "empty" (as in just full of spam), but some can provide you with links to an existing scene. As usual, the odds are higher where you have

To err is human. Persistance is evil. By your post, you clearly show a will to amend your past actions, and to work seriously now, to get grades you deserve - not just because you're "good at anything you touch", but because you are good an

The best I can imagine this notion of "hacking debt" is a "lack of hacking playtime", which the author belives may have bad consequences ; yet I deny that very notion. Financial debt exists. Technical debt exist too (especially if you make

I'm sorry but the proposed options are not acceptable. No VPN? SSH as a plugin ??? Using a Chrome plugin for SSH is taking unnecessary risks. I see no reason why there couldn't be a terminal application on the Chromebook. If it's due to UI,

It stars well, then gets weird. "Is there some level of carbon tax at which we would forego every lake on earth rather than apply it?" Obviously, there isn't (+infinity), because of diminishing marginal returns. Everything is a tradeoff.
