More like African community uses parent companies multinational status to file a complaint to UK courts and the UN instead of the local, Kenyan, court system. I don't think it's the only plantation which had to do such a thing, bu

If you want serious economical analysis by an actual economist, I'd suggest maybe not going on hacker news, for example you could go here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...

The first thing will be forced by economic factors, not just landlords doing their job. everyone just takes a permanent vacation because work sucks. At the very least a lot of them will work less. This is an intended outcome. Supply hence f

Dunno. If you'd need a slightly better tool than ASCII, perhaps Adobe would still be a ridiculous answer.

1% extra profit is something competitive airlines like Ryanair would no doubt appreciate. Also it could ensure the aircraft operates at optimal fuel efficiency, which is central to their business model. Maybe for national airliners these ma

this is true of most if not all companies in the knowledge sector. Google for example is known for starting as a phd project.

Is it possible those who gave up on their life goals were forced to do so whereas those continuing towards life goals did so because they were making good progress? Could just be another 'winners are not losers' study

Ah but that's not what this game is about. It's about what you can prove. And conjectures are by definition things you can't prove yet. So the longer they stand and the more paths they block the more frustrating it gets.

No (people think there isn't but it's not been proven).

I think this is pretty significant. I would have guessed this to be among the very last things to be automated.

I have to say it looks very clean, but I can't live with the lack of internationalisation, so personally I will have to pass.

Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean. (seriously for the best. Vi(m) as the default editor makes linux less friendly for new users)

poor compensation is normally a factor that filters out guys more than women because of societal (and partner) expectations.

i dont have an explanation for excluding those. except russia. a huge piece of red there would be a very easy giveaway something is wrong. however the authors can do a specific thing for a specific reason and still leave out some other plac

they are most likely purposely being left off the map since theyd probably show up red in some areas just like ukraine and belarus which would imply the west has these 'slum issues' wich would be kind off ridiculous. this would no

Read it. They dont make the drug for developing nations. they let generics do that, presumably because it would be bad to try to prevent it (if possible at all). i think it mostly makes sense. but it does show they are afraid of negotiating

the reason they are doing this is the fact they are going to lose. libraries are a relic of the past too in my opinion.

i always thought the biggest risk to gold was an abundance of gold in the sea that hasnt been mined yet. but fake gold works too, i guess.

no (edit: yes, of course they own the rights to the name, otherwise they wouldn't be able to call it a Palm. As far as I know it's otherwise unrelated).

Testers are very useful for political purposes, So I would not scrap them even if they are kind off pointless after dev testing, unit testing, automated functional testing, reviews, automated coverage checks etc. Most testers aren't re

Mostly the last one. It's included by default with most linuxes and cygwin. So even if your boss hates you and doesn't let you install anything you can still write scripts.

I guess when you can wrangle an opportunity, act and don't let it slip. some people never get opportunity. But more often people let their morals, their conscience, the law, social expectations, their image, fear et cetera get in the w

i think its good to have them. far beats the way it used to be done before these inventions (police opening fire, killing a few, hoping the rest runs away).

because you dont want your competitors to get anymore air than they are getting already. 73-17 is better than 70-20. if youtube gets its act together on the streaming front they are a big problem because so many more people that don't

In my team if someone needs to pick up the kids he just says it in chat or even in a video meeting and gets them. I think webex meetings work better than real live ones. If they are tiring that's positive because meetings last too long

A lot of things that came from Buddhism have found appeal among the west and especially in progressive/liberal circles. Especially among people who are not otherwise religious. The Dalai lama is even regarded as a hero. It becomes diff

I think my primary motivation is pretty much limited to video games, mating instinct, food and shiny new things. maybe singing in the shower. the rest is just social pressure. As for how to develop it, i don't have a clue. I think it
