you know what, firing people isn't always a good idea either. people might be starting to get comfortable. if you're not going to offer google level salaries, you will have to offer job security because otherwise people will draw

math bsc here. In my opinion there is no reason to want such a thing. why? because mathematics is the most academic of degrees. you will want to build relationships with professors so you have a chance for a career in academia. it is also e

I all for research into potentially valuable tech. but we have to consider the fast-falling cost of renewable energy. by the time fusion gets realized at scale, we might not need it anymore.
