Google crawlers execute Javascript [1] since this year. Before that you apparently had to deliver a pre-rendered page to the crawler. I don't know anything about the lyft stack, but there are solutions for SEO with Single-Page Apps (se

Experienced something similarly mind-blowing. Coming from foggy Northern Germany, I travelled to the east coast of Australia and went up the coast on a sailing boat. The night sky was so immense that I never really slept inside, instead alw

I'm wondering what's keeping anyone with a subscription from simply posting permanent links to the readcube article on a personal blog or another site (didn't read the ToCs though). If every lab posted links to their papers o

It's really a badly written article about an interesting topic - and I'm not sure what the real story is. Considering the graphic: http://images.bwbx.io/cms/2014-11-26/tech_aluminumgraphic49_... it looks

No. Your employer pays a fixed amount for social security while you don't pay anything. In case you understand German: "Bei einer geringfügigen Beschäftigung trägt der Arbeitgeber Lohnsteuer, Solidaritätszuschlag und Kirchensteuer

You're not informed. You don't pay social security on a "minijob" or 450-Euro-job. ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_employment or the more extensive German wiki article)

I'm always wondering whether the people that I stayed with when I used airbnb declared the rent I paid as additional income and paid the taxes. In Germany at least I guess they would have to get a tax number from the authorities and pa

A counterpoint. You're describing the American situation. Most (central?) European orchestras are at least partially publicly funded and therefore relatively stable. As they do not rely solely on donation (by old farts as you imply), t
