"I got a reply in writing that it was $20k" That sounds unbelievable! how can it be? it has to be a marginal case. I know at least two people that had babies in the US and barely pay anything (neither for the delivery nor for othe

Some do, but in most fields there are many more jobs in universities than in research institutes. Also, they have usually more academic freedom in universities. In good universities, you also have access to potential PhD students and so on.

To me, any language with a well defined semantics, consistent syntax, understandable error messages, strong (preferably static) typing is a good choice to learn programming. Also, it's important that you don't need to introduce ma

Thanks, that's interesting to know. But does it mean you can have an instrument AND a carry-on bag? I flew numerous time with a guitar without any problem. Only once they bothered me. I had a laptop and an electric guitar in a gig bag.

Just nitpicking here, but it's not really a weaker claim. Either it's the future of dance music, or it's not. The future of dance music is the same for everyone. Or maybe they mean, what nerds think the future of dance music

Regardless how dangerous stoned driving is, it's not clear whether pot legalisation will increase usage. Moreover, I believe that legalising will allow for more prevention and control.

On the other hand, consistency alone isn't really useful! Let suppose I design a new proof system to prove arithmetic propositions. Unfortunately, my system is such that it can't produce any proposition. That makes it consistent b

2. It all depends the kind of projects you want to work on. In Programming projects are great for some things, but not so much for others. The problem when learning CS with projects is that you face two difficulties at once. One is the &quo

Very depressing. These pictures may serve some purpose but I'd rather avoid anything that would reminds me of this horrible disease.

I'm very skeptical about this. The idea is that computer science isn't properly taught in French old fashioned universities and "grandes ecoles". As a result, some students fail while they would succeed with a more pragm

Basically, he's saying that our professors suck because they are hired for their abilities to do research. Being a good researcher doesn't imply being a good teacher, but neither does it imply being a bad teacher! I agree more emp

I would say it's our society that has a drinking problem. It seems to me that overall, people drink less in our industry.

Of course, Europe has good infrastructures. But Thailand is much cheaper than Europe (almost an order of magnitude cheaper for food and lodging). An other thing that makes Thailand appealing is that there are many expats or long term touris

Thailand is cheap and safe. They have good infrastructures (internet, hospitals, transportation...). It's hot all year long. There are many expats and tourists so it's easy to find similarly minded people. Also there are tons of a

Rather pointless in my opinion. First they make the wrong assumption that the most we see our parents the happier we are. In any case, I don't think it makes a big difference for people to see their parents 500 or 700 times before they

no, usually it's between 5 and 8 weeks depending on the number of hours worked daily. I just picked 10 as an example. Of course, salary is then lower than in the US.

I think this is correct, and it applies to several other european countries. It would be interesting to hear the point of view of people that worked for the same company both in France and the US. In my opinion, one problem in France is tha
