The article hints at this, but peers and cultural values (aka an ambient expectation that everyone can do x, y & z) may be more important in pedagogy than the quality of instruction. (Of course, both would be better...)

I do agree with you that the draft bill is silly and would be counterproductive. However it would be more correct to say that WIV received _at least_ 600k from EHA but the total is unknown. The 600k came out of $3.7M NIH funding, but the fa

I think it would be quite difficult to even survive long-term as an unsheltered person in Sweden, right?

I would also question whether investments that are unlikely (or less likely) to make a direct return are always "bad". The key points are that investment is an iterated game, deals are not necessarily independent and "network

The person who asked you to open a ticket was actually declining to solve your screw problem. They figured there was a high chance you would not bother to open a ticket. Also if you do open a ticket, they can assign it to someone else and f

It's not so much that it's risky, it's that they'd have to spend a lot of money on the compliance position to tell them it's not and ... wait yeah, the bonds are a better idea in every way.

IMHO an under-appreciated side effect of rising property values is the destruction of third places ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place ), a role that pubs often filled in the UK. As land values rise the pressure

Doesn't it depend what staff you have? I would have agreed with this in 2018 but the world has moved on. If you have a bunch of people who know it, you can deploy a cluster into gcloud or aws with a few clicks or lines of IaC. Would I

If a full time driver earns 25k-50k that's sort of equivalent to every regular taxi and uber having a $500k / $1M driving package onboard already (at 4%), right? I don't know the industry but very naively it doesn't seem

That is in a sense true. If you don't have any money to begin with, you don't have much to lose by getting sued and there is not much incentive for anyone to bother. Personally I think it's better for everyone that the police
