They might offer judicial support insurance as part of their membership fee. I have never looked at it, to be honest. It really depends on the price.

does the swedish system have sufficient protections in place so that unless your employer thinks the world of you, you won't be let go for 'valid reasons' shortly after just to set an example?

The Iranian navy is mostly famous for its usage of rubber dinghies. That's not a serious threat that needs 10 supercarriers to counter. If they decided to change that, then no problem, nobody wants the strait blocked so it will be easy

I'm personally thinking it's sad such resources and effort are expended over something as frivolous as a dating app. If there are significant irregularities it's better to just fine them a couple of billion later. Better for

I wasn't very specific about the situation. You are right in the sense that trade makes sense only among equals, the rest would just be forced to give up their possesions. So we have to assume this isn't possible. We can assume I

Not sure whether the expansion of this 'psychological debt model' is desirable. Because it's impossible to quantify such debts without money, it becomes more difficult to optimize allocation. Maybe the people in the woods hav

Personally I'd rather not know, unless I do. Process of receiving feedback can be awful. In a hiring role (done that too) I'd rather save people the embarrassment of a dressing-down. I wouldn't want for them to bear more rese

I dont think its really a bad thing to think highly of yourself. I think a lot of people agree given that trump managed to win an election. so its ok as long as you understand your personality is polarizing and not everyone will like it. If

It might all be true, I don't know. Still I think this comes from the wrong mindset. Rather than celebrating the fact that there will soon be an electric option for those who like masculine militaristic aesthetic, or holding a reasoned

Indeed governments often asks for programs that are easy enough to create in a hackathon. The difficulty is integrating them with their current hardware and software setup. What I can do with Javascript or Python in a few days, might be a m
