It can happen quickly given the right circumstances. In machine learning, the editors of Machine Learning resigned en masse and set up the open-access Journal of Machine Learning Research , which became the top ML journal quite soon afte

Depends a bit on the area. You can machine-code results if the field is extremely static in its conceptual and epistemic framework, so it's just a matter of slotting new things in place. Some "industrial-style" science does

Nordic universities are all tuition-free for EU students. The main problem as a foreigner would be the language. For masters-level study there are many English programs, but for the bachelors level, there are fewer. There are, nevertheless,

If there is no safety net, I can't really give away my money, because I'm worried about what will happen in the future if for some reason I'm unable to work. Or if my brother is unable to work, or if my parents have severe pr

To avoid this (common) issue, EU regulations now mandate a roaming-fee cutoff at €50 until the account-holder positively indicates their knowledge and acceptance of additional roaming fees. They can also pre-authorize a higher cutoff if the

Are you sure there's no law in Sweden? In Denmark, any store that sells more than a certain number of bottles has to have one of the reverse-vending machines to take them back and repay the deposit.

I don't find much difference in CoL between the Bay Area and Copenhagen. If anything it's slightly cheaper in Denmark (more expensive restaurants, but cheaper rent). If you're comparing median U.S. CoL, sure, but even in high

That's one thing I like about Danish money; the 500 kr note (~$90) and 200 kr note (~$35) are both common and regularly used. Makes it much more convenient to use cash for things like groceries or restaurants without having to carry ar

If you're a non-resident visitor, you probably need to buy travel health insurance from your country of origin. U.S. health insurance will typically only sell to residents. You don't have to be permanent resident, but do have to b

I agree on the last point: ACA probably actually helps them by making this kind of analysis possible to automate, since it gets the plan data into some kind of commensurable, analyzable form, and simplifies the answers to all kinds of eligi

Given the glacial speed of reform in the U.S. (something like these new exchanges have been in the works since Nixon proposed a similar system), I would put that fairly far down the list of risks a small startup should worry about. A much

Sure, I'm simply responding to the "laziness" argument. Greece's problem is indeed productivity, not lack of hard work. There are a lot of hard-working mom-and-pop shops which put in many hours, but cannot anymore compet

That's using real worked hours (well, estimates of them by the OECD). In Greece's case the official hours are actually not particularly high for people with regular jobs, just the usual 40 hours/week. But the actual worked

In Europe the correlation is rather in the other direction. Greeks work the most hours/year on average, and Belgians work the fewest [edit: oops, actually Dutch [1]]. Here in prosperous Denmark, the official workweek is 37 hours, not 4
