I believe 40mill is the average across the network. The 8 billion is for a specific portion in a high CoL area with the majority being land acquisition costs. If you have a dig a new subway station in middle of Frankfurt, for an infrastruct

It is too late of an apology. I can’t count how many times it has been used as a justification against minorities, homeless etc. What is the penalty for lying purposely against a population that cannot afford lawyers for filing a defamation

Given these info loss from major companies, it is worthwhile to assume that your name, your phone number and last 4 digit SSN are pretty much available for any actor. For my part, I have put in a credit freeze with all three credit bureaus.

I have no idea why you are getting downvoted.. but people cannot deal with chaos or "shit happens for no reason". People seek purpose and when none exists, make up one.

Engineering is generally a smaller org compared to everything else. In your example, has the quality of tweets or whatever it is called now, decreased? Are you seeing lesser engagement? Have your sign-ups decreased? How many new advertisers

The most obvious answer seem to be around population density. What is the population density of your small town? Why would the developers not build multi-story apartments/condos? Why is there no supply of multi-family buildings anywher

So, play this for me.. Which specific profession I should be in for this to matter to me? Not that I should be curious about fundamentals, but something I can apply in a meaningful way?

IMHO, bullshit article. The author describes half-life as the time in which the knowledge is superseded or shown to be untrue. However, his actual example is around how he has forgotten math. It might be half-life of his retention, but not

It is interesting to read the comments. Why do some americans view the strike action in a black/white perspective? If you define a strike very narrowly as to stop work with (partial) loss of pay, then this does not make sense. But a st

Is it a nightmare for people living there? or does it look like one for people looking from outside? I have argued about this with people from SG and they prefer the security and stability over the supposed freedoms.

I do not know if you will see this reply.. but you are 100% correct. There is a price to pay to social cohesion and I am not sure if I can draw the line correctly. Let us get a few strawman arguments out - freedom of speech is not a fundame

yes.. because you can take a second mortgage on your home.. you can save into the mortgage instead of saving into an investment account. Talk to an advisor and they can tell you how you can convert an asset into money you can spend.

Even one instance is sufficient, right? So, is it ok if one in 15 users see this kind of ad? If I were to do a performance test, I do not run one request through and claim it is representational. I do a large test and test at 99th percentil

I do not think that is what the author intended - "You want your home country to do well but at the same time you are hyperaware of its numerous deficiencies." I am aware of the deficiencies, but also very aware of the progress be
