awesome. so commuting from the east bay to palo alto or SF will take longer than travel to LA. instead of extending BART around the bay, full circle and across in more places, let's invest billions in hyperloop.

a bit hard to understand the figures in the real paper. while the numbers have crossed, what about the absolutes? there are less deaths in combat now due to massive improvements in field treatment and armor. the total number of suicides in

wages are not absolute, they vary by location, for the same kind of work. cost of living are taken into account when offering salaries. taxes ditto. this applies to the US as well as Europe. it is about fairness among workers. there should

haha. not adjusting your employee's wages based on their work location, which company is that delusional?

oh, that is clear. but that, let's say, "new economy" talk has been around for a long time and simply does not vibe with history, capitalism, human nature. human beings that strive for greatness are ruthless, that necessary f

down to the HCP is only allowed in the US. most markets protect HCPs from pressure by the industry, you can only get clustered Rx data there.

a lot of people get contact lenses and lasik to get rid of glasses. the only really accepted form of glasses is sunglasses, because hiding your eyes is a nice feeling. people can't read you. our brain aims for the eyes to read emotion.

of course not, that would be the worker's council and the union. you silly Americans :) HR employees can be fired, hence are under pressure, hence are on the side of the company. Works council members in developed nations are protected

those numbers also mean it is much harder to find anything in it or easier for you to hide shit.

at best, an MBA signals that a person does not know what job they like and are in for a career change. it can augment existing, core skills. haven't gotten/seen a candidate where an MBA was the core of his/her skillset. if yo

erm, they slashed it to 99c, as the article mentions, but it still has not gotten any significant traction - full blown write off. it's just a shit device by a company that seems to try to emulate apple on some fronts, but without the

if you're an immigrant from a poor country where food is an issue, portion size is the first sign of success. recent studies compared obesity levels of immigrants from mexico - you see a huge spike once they're settled in the US.
