I don't understand why the original comment is getting downvoted. How can they implement this without copying the website in some form? It would constitute basic copyright infringement.

I interned with these guys back in 2012 when I was a student. They are a really great team with an inspiring vision. So glad to see them here on the front page!

It actually costs a great deal more than that. You have to pay 5 years of expected future taxes upfront, in addition to the processing fees. This can be an enormous sum, depending on your income sources. If you just have a regular job and n

I live in Norway. This is just baffling to me. The only way I can think to make sense of it is to draw a parallel to suicide clusters [1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_suicide

Sure, most university students fall into that age range. But, why are they only interested in taking current first-time university students onto their roster in the first place? What about career-changers and so on? A lot of people go bac
