And yet players still perform much better the year their contract is up. Motivation plays a role. If we want to look at the larger economic climate that's fine, but it's tautologically true that we can't solve unemployment if

Your comment embodies the millennial stereotype. There's a recession, therefore I can't be successful. The economy doesn't improve by magic, we need people creating wealth. And that may not be in their chosen field.

If that were true, welfare would work.

As has been pointed out, it would be easy to grab someone else's children in order to fraudulently sign up for government checks. In my own city, there was a massive fraud operation of mothers claiming to run (federally subsidized) da

Or perhaps more pragmatically, to simply deny her claims for assistance until she can prove her maternity.

His commentary about the previous question included analysis of the other side's answer (that it was not only wrong, but evasive and obviously computer generated), so I think that remains a valid point. I don't see Goostman provi

How many legs on a camel? Seems like a question a 13 year old in any country could answer.

He does reply later on to mark the sensible responses, as well as call back to previous parts of their conversation (making a point about how any person would know that a Camel has four legs). Not to mention that his line of questioning is

I think that these are specific examples of the same general case: there are some assets that are easy to "walk out" of a company with, and a non-compete is a way to deal with that fact.

I don't think anyone likes it when their reality is challenged. That part seems universal.

Certain types of people are attracted to the cities. Americans in general seem to me the most anti-city of the western world. The English in general are proud of London, as are the French of Paris. I don't think you have the same wi

I wouldn't supply anything other than Pepsi for fear of needing to know the history and practices of the local company that makes the soda I thought would be a fun surprise for rms.

Yes, because the only affect that this could have on the world is that it would enable capitalism to ruin our lives. What a waste of an article.

I'm confused by people who want to make their data public, but want to control exactly how people access it. You mean like TV? or Radio? or print....

How do you suggest the world punish Russia for acting out?

I don't think it unreasonable to ask your employees for help. If you don't want the iPad, don't give good suggestions.

It kind of underlines the point though - most of these joke products aren't any more ridiculous than their real products. Is that really a joke?

Why does art hang in a gallery? Because the artist (or at least the owner) wants people to see it.

I think the true originality is pretty hard to come by. There's nothing new under the sun.

Yes? Unless you are making something for your own satisfaction of having made it, the responses of the people consuming your product are the most important thing.

I think you should only get one chance to match a fraction. If you miss, then you must avoid all three until you crash.

Depends on how badly they want to conceal the information. There's a whole discipline around opening documents covertly (flaps and seals).

I think giving them a million dollars to start and teaching them to work gives them a better-than-average chance to avoid "bad luck." Doing nothing at all with the money except living on the interest would give them a middle clas

Better to teach them how to live then to hide the truth from them. I think that's true in any case.

It's not about her being poor so much as uncivil. When you stop paying your rent and you've destroyed the value of the building you live in and fight with the neighbors, it makes it very hard for anyone to want to help you. If s
