This has been the case for a long time, even with attributes that you have far less control over, such as your height [1]. Given typical social prejudices, I would not be surprised if the height effect was greater for men and the weight eff

We still have companies that use COBOL and mainframes due to their longevity and continuity. There is no reason Postgres and pgrust cannot both flourish. I can pick and choose which one to use according to its use case.

I have a question for you, or any other immigrants. A common complaint I have heard from rule-followers immigrating to Germany is something like "You have to have an appointment in person for minor thing X at the city hall, and there a

This is just straight up false. Laws don't cease to exist because of a liquidation. Legal rights absolutely matter in the event of a liquidation, and will be part of any liquidation process. For example, if there was a law that the e

The GDP per capita is just low compared to the US. It's roughly the same as the UK. And I do think there are some ridiculous inter-provincial bureaucracy issues in Canada, it's hard to take OP's generalized rant seriously.

I am tempted to quote your inflammatory post, but don't want to give it more airtime. Please stop doing this. If there are specific points of the analysis you think are suspect, point them out. Others are doing a decent job (e.g. citin

That's likely what people will still call them, regardless of the neologism. I am not opposed to the neologism, but like most, it will be really hard to agree on a single one so we should continue to use "nurse" and ignore it

I'm male, and clearly don't know enough about this--are there any benefits for the user that a period tracking app can provide by reaching out to the cloud? I guess backing up your data is an obvious one. I thought entering the

Slippery slope is a fallacy, but enough of these incidents and people will absolutely start trying to apply this in their home states. I thought India had gotten past the "I don't like people from other states" phase by now.

I doubt this has been given judicial review at the High Court/Supreme Court level. As for Himachal, you seem to be the expert but I thought that Himachal disallows non-locals from buying land (which I also think is wrong), not stayin

I did, a requirement to book a guesthouse room through the weekend does not make the moral/legal issues any better. Imagine that some town in the US did this; and shut down otherwise public roads to anyone who is not a resident or a gu

You hit the nail on the head. It's not that simple. I was born and raised in India and I have seen hordes of supposedly "educated" Indian people with degrees littering and making a nuisance of themselves; and seen a lot of In

As someone born and brought up in India, I'm a little conflicted about this. Of course it is true that a lot of Indians have no civic sense, and will spit, litter, and generally make a noisy nuisance of themselves in this quiet village

You're hiding behind semantics. Why should there be a difference in the degree being conferred at all? And if so, why not split off the departments that confer degrees with a low-earning potential and call them "entertainment scho

Hopefully this will revamp the educational system in such a way that the pejoratively named "trade schools" can confer bachelor's degrees on their graduates as well. I don't really see why some no name university can con
