I agree with you regarding the contents from the MBA program vs entrepreneurship (I got my mba from INSEAD). However, the whole program only takes 10 months, which in my opinion makes it definitely worth it. Note: In spite of the shorter le

In order to reduce the clutter, I sometimes use http://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=100 to only show stories above certain score. The threshold can be set to any desired value.

This is a pretty common scenario for international companies. Maybe most of them do not go as far as IKEA and lock their whole corporate structure, but most of them manage to achieve pretty low corporate tax rates. As an example Google was

I really don't get this type of statements (and I am referring both to this article and the opposite one that also got to front page today). Doing a PhD is neither good nor bad. There is just no right choice for everybody. Some people will

If I remember correctly from a couple years back, H1-B Homeland security fees are around $3k and if you hire a lawyer for the process you'll have to add at least another $1k. It's not cheap, but it is certainly not that expensive, as those

That's what I do too and it works. However, my biggest complain is the sole durability. I had mine for a few months (nowhere near 3 years) and the sole wore out to the point where there was a hole on each shoe on the balls of the feet area

This is the one I am following, and it's quite the opposite to the USDA recommendations: * The Paleo Diet ( http://amzn.com/0471267554 ) I don't know if that's the type of book you were looking for, but the authors' arguments and conclusi

The way I look at it, you shouldn't try to remove individual food items from your diet, but figure out what type of foods it should be based on and focus on those. Let me explain. I mostly follow a paleo diet ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

I practice yoga. I find doing a physical activity helps my body to relax and take my mind off things. Initially I had the impression it was a 'light' activity which mainly women practice, but after taking a couple of Ashtanga sessions I was

I don't think your comment sounds awful, but in my opinion you are giving too much importance to age and looks. I am 28 myself and when dating I am not trying to evaluate whether she already passed her prime time or if she still has a coupl

The OPT is actually a very good option since you can get it on your own without the support/sponsorization of a company (which is required for an H1-B visa). All you need is a student visa and having graduated from a US institution in a pro
