Can’t speak for “private equity wannabes”, but good MBA programs emphasize quality and processes with checks and balances quite a bit. I can’t think of a scenario where an MBA program material would lead to recommendation to willfully incur

Notice he did not say anything about computer science or the principles. You might not need to type Python or Java, but you still need to understand the architecture, the implications of state management, eventual consistency, etc. etc. etc

An interesting comparison - there are far more cars today than carriages/horses at peak, and also far more drivers of various sorts than there were carriage drivers at peak. Another comparison could be excel with the various formulas v

En masse, it’s less common than should be and a lot less than one would hope for. OP sounds like a very responsible and caring parent! This also requires spare time. In US at least, things aren’t as setup to support such allocating enough t

There’s a real risk here to your daughter - your daughters’ teacher sounds at least reasonable, but ideally we wouldn’t force any kid to the lowest common denominator. Only reason to do so is cost, as it’s harder to manage more classes with

It reads as a direct word for word translation of English as opposed to native speaker conveying the overall meaning using native language idioms and such. Its very difficult to translate things word for word and have them sound „native”. T

I think that comment is talking about evictions and rent increase moratoria we saw during COVID lockdowns. It was very close to a black swan event, at least for me. Now, reality has changed and landlords need to plan for the risk of not hav

Yes, unfortunately we have seen examples recently with COVID where municipalities basically offloaded subsidizing rent to landlords by both prohibiting increases and evictions for non-payment. These policies are not part of what’s normally

The “damage” part is only real if one intends to refinance constantly and chase the highest multiple possible. The flip-side of rent control is high occupancy. If the building was properly capitalized and rented with a proper return in mind

That article seems to describe a system where public uses were prioritized over paid. Like in any system, some degree of favoritism/corruption existed, but at least initially it seemed to still serve the public at large quite well. Esp

Mercedes has a long history of innovation in driver assistance tech. For example: “ 1999: Mercedes introduced "Distronic", the first radar-assisted ACC,[8] on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220)[9][10] and the CL-Class.[11]” https:&

It’s pretty sad that after decades of such breaches, these still do damage. We have had tech, such as security keys, for some time. Even basic Authenticator app helps. These should be standard with anything remotely sensitive. Another sad p

I live on a popular local road, but cars/trucks are nothing in comparison to motorcycles. It’s especially bad when there are large groups - not sure what the physics behind this, but it seems to resonate even worse and shake the entire

Only, if the claim is worth it - most people have a deductible and insurance premiums will go up after a claim, so damage has to be substantial. That still leaves a lot of room for crime that didn’t result in enough damage on a given incide

If you don’t expect the police to do anything about it, why file a formal report? It’s possible to even go to the station, speak with the on duty officer, find out that they’ll basically do nothing and decide to not waste any more time on t

You’d need to look at PPP for all goods and services and not just networth (paper networth). EU countries provide a lot of social based lines, like education, childcare and healthcare. Also there is a huge variability between EU countries -

So in other words you don’t eat that yourself and prefer to eat either high end quality food (that’s unlikely to have questionable ingredients and tastes good) or bake at home? Seems we are not so different after all. So why defend the ingr

It’s available where I live, but it’s hardly the norm in the overall US. Why should good food be only in some places and not others?

The poor quality of US food is not about cars, but about the ingredients. When you compare US food vs EU food, you immediately notice that US food has a lot more ingredients and those ingredients are often very questionable. Much of that co

Since the examples are in CA, there is Medi-Cal for those who are too poor to buy subsidized insurance and it’s not age-related unlike Medicare. It’s an expanded form of Medicaid. I’d bet CA taxpayers do shoulder the costs if the victims kn

It seems you are assuming that flipping houses is somehow super easy and therefore seemingly high returns and possibly preferential tax treatment are morally objectionable. Moral questions are very person and I won’t speculate on that. Howe
