By the way, do you know how long does it take to become a professional coal miner?

Are hedge fund managers worth it? The author should put those guys into comparison too, not only the coal miners.

Programmers also do that. This is somehow linked to survival in the long run.

That was a good read, thank you. However, presenting Tchichold's criterion to a modern multilingual website can be a bit overwhelming. How about Mandarin-Arabic website (I recently made one)? These are very different cultures. Both cul

Does this mean testing software before release at MS is second to none and relies on principle 'if users dont complain, we made it right'? UPD: I was just about to persuade client to move to Outlook 2016 from 2011. Glad I did not.

You can see now - how peaceful is Russia.

These are still common in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Just the background of co-living spaces is different. When the Russian Revolution freed up large mansions and huge flats of the former chivalry and businessmen, these were given to the wor

English is perfectly suitable, since most of the technical literature, describing how to build and maintain everything around you is in English. German and Spanish are also fine. There are fields, where German prevails (funny enough, one of

that would be a waste. Indefinite prison term and slavework in forest enterprises of Saskatchewan would suit better to anyone undermining social order of Canada.

I confirm that. In 1989 I talked out a stipend from the enterprise I wished to work for in the USSR. I thought my future is all set. What happened in 1991 was a complete surprise for me, and completely redefined my future.

This is imperial. I especially like the notion that Ministry only answers to reporters with mainland press pass. The China is the center of the civilized world again, the world where the US is a barbarian outskirt. Will the foreign websites

The USSR is sort of Atlantis. It collapsed, but it gave birth to human travel in space and other useful gigs. And it is often mentioned at HN, since most of the Russian engineers born in 1968-75 learned the math the beautiful Soviet way wi

As creepy as hell. I'd rather not leave such a chair.

No wonder its American-centric. Is statistics for the USSR and Russia aggregated as single line for "Russia"? These are two different countries.
