I don't think that is generally people's concern. What people in bigger cities would want from smaller cities are things that are significantly better to offset the lesser verity and upside. If you to a large degree still have to

Things like teleconferencing usually isn't a problem as such. If you work in a large enough organization, you are essentially working remotely already. It is just that people misunderstand what is happening. It used to be that jobs whe

As far as I know it doesn't actually say that. The comparison is between countries, not before and after reforms. The paradox is supposedly that countries with higher equality have higher gender differences. But it isn't really a

As far as I know the research doesn't say much, and therefor doesn't withstand much either. They can't tell you why preferences are different. It is all implied. A much more straight forward explanation is that developed coun

As far as I understand Apple's current business model is heavily geared towards dominating a segment and charging handsomely for it. If Apple were to go for 'quantity' their margin, at least per sale, would suffer and they wo

The most persistent critique I have heard about Google is that the experience can be very uneven in everything from recruitment and workload to even salary for the same job. Even if Google entirely stopped with brain teasers, people certain

I get what you are trying say. It is just that most of society doesn't care if you are smart, creative or trying to do anything special when you are trying to get an education, apartment or anything else on your own terms. It is only o

Because building isn't the core problem. It is that a large part of the population have a large part of the life savings in the housing market and therefor would take a loss if housing became affordable. It is like asking why the gover

I would agree. The west had a chance to reform their education systems to become different with the new information age, but most countries choose not to. In fact they have been going the other way. Today in most countries things like housi

I don't see how that has anything to do with it. Living costs in rural areas isn't the problem. This seems like a variation of the "luxury apartments are actually good for affordable housing" argument. Which of course is

> The article is dead wrong about the economics of whether buying a house is a good investment. So much so as to be intellectually dishonest. What part of the article is that? Because that certainly wasn't my take away. The article

I does seem crazy, but apparently it includes the application process as well. In general not a lot of people tend to care about this kind of thing. Governments often aren't empowered to do it, the large tech companies don't care,

Which would be fine if they provided some straight forward way to replicate that (like a container). It really seems like open source doesn't have that high of a standing at Google (anymore?). I guess limiting hardware manufacturers us

I agree that it is a great site. This is the kind of thing the Internet was, or at least should be, made for. I would also encourage people who like this kind of thing to think, or take it, one step further. Because even in countries where

I would disagree. I don't really see what people are spending money on? Everyone I know working in technology have pretty much bought everything they ever wanted in terms of electronics, clothes, equipment and vacations long ago. Most

If you aren't comfortable, they are underpaying you for the job they expect you to do. If you are comfortable, but leaving money on the table, you aren't getting all the value you produce. You can call both of those being underpai

> I think I'm underpaid, but not grossly so. I wouldn't necessarily call that underpaid. Being underpaid is when you have to choose between the present and the future. If you can both have good and sustainable living conditions

These companies are basically 'finance' at this point. Instead of markets and assets it's platforms and data.

I think most countries does this. Of course that doesn't make the amount comparable between countries. It is mainly for practical reasons since that is the salary you negotiate for i.e. the amount they pay you (though in many countries

I think you are missing my point. An organization like the OSI might define what open source is. But that doesn't make their definition the meaning of open source. The meaning becomes what open source is. Since you have many different

The whole point of the license is presumably that they disagree with that definition. As far as I know a license can be OSI approved without containing patent grants, effectively making the code unusable for commercial purposes. There is al

According to what? Because as I said, as far as I know, many European countries have a limited right to quote something. If the law is written to let people quote other people under specific conditions and one entity uses that to quote ever

I think the EU understands perfectly fine. It is the Internet that doesn't understand how copyright works. Most countries don't have comprehensive fair use. Copyright rules and e.g. quotation rights are fairly 'weak' exc
