You know, some people's destiny is to teach yoga and make pictures with cute African-looking kids. Other people are destined to optimize financial services so there are cute African-looking kids willing to take pictures with mediocre y

A masters is already quite good. It should make your life more interesting than a bachelor's. Think about a decent job, no questions asked, you might even have a reasonable choice on what type of job you will take. Don't expect to

This piece is about so much more than the usual complaint against an increase in rent. It does not talk about public housing. Rather it points out the problem of bureaucracy that acts as a multiplier to the market power of landlords.

It may be counterproductive but in a way those publishers always held the rights to their own work. Consequently if they want to prevent Google from showing snippets they should be able to. But maybe that should be opt out, rather than opt

I think a mmorts is pretty unique. If you manage to spice up those menus a little bit and get the balance right (some) people will buy it for sure

Might have to do with where a bias stems from. Bias against elderly has to do with deterioration with age. That remains true today. Bias against gay people had to do with the need to protect against disease. This is not true today because e

I speculate the cause is self selection. People who know they don't have what it takes to become manager or any job that depends on soft skills are unlikely to major in liberal arts and more likely to choose engineering. Hence, fewer e

Amsterdam is gentrified. I love the city but nobody who earns a below average income can really afford to live there. Most other Dutch cities rely on buses. Amsterdam still has them as well to cover some outlying areas. What he is saying is

In my country it is not that common. Usually the companies that ask you to do them have a culture of well... nothing good. Even if I pass the test sometimes that just sets high expectations which I might not be able to meet (at least not in

On my university, copying eachother's assignment was so common a student/teaching assistent was talking about how he had 'reprimanded' one of his students for plagiarism while he was copying my solution to our own home

If there were someone who would make the argument that 'all philosophy is nonsense' and the person who makes it was respected by a lot of philosophy professors, I would be pretty interested in what he had to say, especially becaus

Actually 'my boss told me to build it' is an excuse. if you dont build it, you breach contract. you get fired or possibly sued for damages or breach of contract (as a contractor or external consultant). The job market isn't e

You are exactly right. Private currencies will be seen as the enemy, because they are a threat for exactly these reasons. Mall-level security is one thing, systemic monetary power quite another. A Europe which relies on private currency is

Actually 'niksen' in the way we dutch use it can be used negatively. I think it's most commonly used that way 'ben je weer aan het niksen?' (parent/boss tells child/employee to go do something useful). Alt

If somebody asks me this question i know i'm coming across in a very negative way and the best thing to do is to leave, even if i am feeling only a bit tired. Generally my only consolation is that the person asking the question does it

I can't read this, but I have to comment anyways. My guess is simply that america has two times the gdp per capita of the UK. Even if the cost of labour in boston is equivalent to that of london, that isn't going to be true elsewh

It seems like the heirs of the other guy are finding legal ways to rob an insane person. It's gross the judge has not apparantly even considered this. Wright is a pathological liar. He makes stuff up constantly to get attention. Althou

One out of eight money units sounds pretty reasonable. I think I capture more than that from the college students who rent with me. But actually property developers do have the option to go outside the law, just like uber. Or maybe not them

They could absolutely still sell this if they focused a bit on kids learning and minigames. Maybe sell it on steam instead of dvds. Information is no longer quite enough, but infotainment is still a huge market.

So what is the typical reason for people to learn Japanese? Is it a good destination for something more important than visiting a few shrines or buying rare manga? I'm currently learning vietnamese, another east Asian language. It&#x2

China got away with it once but escalation is in principle a sign of weak government. Compare a nation like France which mostly waited it out.
