I'd like to point out - the increased participation of people in "soft harems" reduce the number of mates available in monogamy relationships. The resource "Exclusivity * attention" (what a lot of people value) is b

True, everyone has 24 hours a day, though what I really mean is the utility of that attention can be destroyed - the utility of 10 hours of your attention for the video game creator is measured in tens of dollars but could be priceless to y

You can read about hashing passwords and resizing images in a textbook but the reading maybe less efficient compared to actually learning it while doing it. Knowledge and experience. E.g. Someone who's reading wikipedia about worms is

My previous company have several people full time through upwork. Where are you located? It can be enough income depending where you are. It should be easy to clear $50k USD per year.

Wouldn't an hourly rate be useful if we have a full time job and am only able to provide 5-15 hours, varying each week, to our clients?

I have not studied any nano degrees but I think if your university is half decent the masters at 1500 Euro, if you can stuff it with AI courses, is a lot more valuable than a $2400 nanodegree, face to face interaction and discussion with te

The media is shocked even after all newspapers and TV backed a single candidate, she lost. I speculate internally they blame alternative media, so now they run a campaign against 'fake news'. Of course it couldn't just have b
