The purpose of a company, any company, is to achieve some goals, and that means risking the company's capital, that is, investors' money. If your primary concern is to return the invested money undiminished, you'll be complet

It's not like they have any friends or family anyway. Bonus points if they won't know the local language, then they can fully concentrate on work 24/7/365.

If you've been self-employed, you'll have had tons of paperwork, tax returns, invoices, clients to obtain references from, and possibly could get to a prospective employer through your personal network. The key is to plan ahead.

Well, actually, we do. Aptitude testing shows[1] that while females tend to cluster more towards the average, male populations produce more outliers. There are both more male geniuses and male imbeciles than their female counterparts. [1] f

There certainly is this spot on the female crotch area anatomy that is at least as sensitive as in us, males. Curiously enough, young female fighters are as a rule completely oblivious to this, until the day they get hit in sparring. Source

Even when you look at the obviously mismatched fights of, say, Yuki Nakai v Gerard Gordeau, it's not pretty, it's assymetrical, but the little guy won https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yko1xLF7AQU In a complete cont

Yes, the general opinion has changed once it had been realized that women's bouts are not going to lose them million pounds a night. The UFC earns money from pay-per-view, and if nobody's watching, then nobody's paying, and t

Emoji is just Unicode, so putting "I :heart: you" instead of "I ❤️ you" in a Unicode text file is rather, shall we say, na:LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS:ve -- this shit belongs in the editor. As implemented by, f

Bullshit. Using foo = bar || baz is perfectly valid when used judiciously. foo = bar || baz is perfect when parsing inputs where unset is passed as "" or 0. To no great surprise, HTML forms are one such beast. The Boolean oper

Few of the sites we use at work have captchas that: * Often don't load * Quietly expire the session on the server within a time that is shorter than it takes to fill the form in * Are trivial to crack by a computer * Are difficult to p

As long as there is supply surplus on the labour market, of people willing to work for any wage, this will keep driving the wages down. I am indeed a little surprised adjuncts are still paid at all. And pet-sitting and bagging groceries as

This is a ridiculously incomplete sample sheet. Most of the iOS, OS X, and Watch OS users will need to display characters outside the non-accented English alphabet. Nerding out about minute-to-nonexistent differences from Helvetica is cute,

Have you gone to true extremes? I have found that synthetic fur works extremely well, and is very comfortable, even with stone-cold floors. I'm going to be buying pair of these for the upcoming winter; they're dirt-cheap, machine

Would you read product labels if they were randomly generated? If you couldn't possibly know them by heart? If you didn't learn something new about the world? Randomly generated walls of text are no fun :-(
