What does this even mean? Almost 300 million people are agricultural workers in China, versus 6 million in the US. Despite that, we produce nearly the same quantity of food and export 140 billion dollars of food every year. The US has plent

I don't see why the government should be levying increasing taxes on something as personal as having a child.

But...we do?

Nope, I had federal loans. No counseling. Not sure what to tell you. A quick search of my student email account reveals a "required" exit counseling session, which I was not aware of until searching for it in my email at this very

Sure, not legally, but relative to the life experience required to even somewhat competently navigate the complexities of the modern world, 18 year olds are functionally children. Your entire life to that point is school, for many people, s

I disagree massively with your last point, on the manner by which someone ended up there being obvious. Our current children are being raised by parents who grew up in a very different time, and the world has never been more complex. The tr

There are many who would argue that the willingness of a 18 year old to shoulder enormous financial responsibility to gain benefits largely denied to them by the way modern American society is constructed is not a real defense of the reason

Especially given that prior to Android, Google was pretty much just a web company whereas Microsoft had dominated the OS market pretty much the length of the entire personal computer industry. It WAS a natural thing for MS to win.

Yeah I feel like this is an underrated point. Does being there at the early years of a company justify a cut of an unfathomable fortune that took the other partners many, many more years to fully form? It’s not so cut and dry, especially wh

I don't think anyone can claim to know for sure. The future is murky. What does seem clear is that this will drastically affect weather patterns that South Asian civilization has relied in for millenia, and will definitely stress alrea

While I wouldn't go so far as to think AT&T is well run, laying employees off after tax breaks isn't necessarily indicative of wrongdoing. If there's redundancies in the company, that's going to eventually be remedie

This is more like a professional soccer team objecting to someone far better coming into the team because it'll disrupt one of their roles and the team rallies around that individual. Loyal? Sure. Probably means the team is going to be

Three weeks pretty much mean the lions share of the box office take is in already.

Of course! Coming from someone who's tried (and failed) to learn a bit of Mandarin, even the spoken language was quite tough. Chinese/Japanese/Korean -> English/Romance languages is quite a tough lingual gap to bridge

Pretty much this. Yes, technical skill is important, but to some degree, the proficiency to do our jobs can mostly be taught given a proven background and some proven competency during the interview. Good communication skills? That's s

Agreed, and it's up to the organization to remedy those biases with multiple rounds of interviews, and most importantly, making sure those multiple rounds consist of interviewers with different inherent biases and tendencies.

I see, yes, stereotyping based on some perceived “flaw” like accent is absolutely wrong and needs anti-bias training to remedy. It is tough though. I want people I interview for my company and team to get along with everyone, and trying to

In your position, I’d take candidate 2. Displaying a reasonable level of competence and ability to work in a group is so much more crucial for a small company!

What’s wrong with evaluating whether you’d get along with someone as a coworker? In my experience, being friendly and getting along has aided cooperation far more than hiring the most qualified candidate at the detriment of group dynamic. Y

Interestingly enough, I feel that your grammar is pretty much spot on perfect, at least from this excerpt. It's the cadence and rhythm of the way you write and format your sentences that subtly suggest you're not a native English
