Wouldn't an article like this be by an ANTI-CIA group and not the actual CIA themselves? I don't see how something like that would be sponsored by the CIA because it paints them in bad light, no?

Can you tell me what kind of fake news or ideas Bulgarians believe would be sponsored by the CIA? I'm genuinely intrigued to hear that the CIA would be responsible for spreading propaganda in Bulgaria of all places.

Can I ask if you're a developer and if you do side projects? I get home at 9pm everyday (leave at 7:30am) and the only time I have time to do side projects is from 10:30pm - 11:30pm (and of course I have trouble sleeping). I can't

For those who don't know, you don't actually have to use the bidet when you go to Japan. The most complicated thing about toilets in Japan is that the flush button is on the wall sometimes (and the emergency button is often on the

I think it really depends on what the op is looking to make. I made the generalization mostly based on the OS and languages (most universities starting from at least 15 years ago taught Java in at least a few classes whereas objective-c and

I think it really depends on what your team needs to discuss, but from my slack chats we don't discuss any business-breaking proprietary intel. If there's something important a face-to-face meeting is used or video chat (but that&

I also agree with this idea. If you are going to be charging for your app and want to make a revenue stream off the start before expanding, I think iOS is the better choice. If it's going to be free and you are looking for a big user b

I don't think 90k/year in the bay area is nearly enough for even a couple (and you mention children?!). A 2br apartment will go for $2500/month with a long commute. I presume you're talking pre-tax 80k.

1.2M is also going to have ~14-16k/year for property tax and insurances associated with it. He said his budget is 1.2M not the max he could afford. I was looking in housing in the east bay and the cheapest over there in a decent neighb

Okay I made a mistype. Daycare has become much better is the correct thing to say. It's not the best but much better than it was 15 years ago. There is a "waiting list" almost everywhere I know of but if you try you can get i

Wow if Samsung will be using it that will show how powerful it is. I'm eyeing a OP4 for my next phone but I hope they don't jump the price again.

Daycare has become very good in Japan (I don't know about the rural areas). Many cities are trying their best to accommodate all the children so the parents can keep working if they please. I think the government is putting pressure on

I work in Japan and don't agree with you. I believe they may be "respected" but they are not treated equally at all and I don't think their status is high at all. In the household they may control the finances but from m

Yeah it's ridiculous. I was in the ER in California for 2.5 hours (I got IV and a CT scan). The bill was $4600. I stayed overnight in Japan entering the ER and got IV only and it was $41.

Line makes TONS of money from their apps. I'm not sure how much their stickers make. I read a story about the average user spending $12 for line run/jump (not sure what the name was, but some infinite runner or jumping game).

I think a better take away is the reverse. If you are rewarding children in your class (or your kids) and one is not enthusiastic then you should take note there might be a problem (essentially the first sentence of the article).
