You can get small commercial vehicles/delivery trucks down most of the streets in Zurich. Cars are also expected to make way for emergency vehicles, and as the other poster mentioned, emergency can use the rail lane when they need to.

The Swiss take their roads seriously (I get to hear about it every night : ) ). Other points not mentioned: Switzerland has - effectively - no domestic car industry, so there were never any special interest groups with economic clout pushin

It looks like you're an American expat studying in Germany. A lot of PhD's there go directly into industry, so much so that's from my observation it's the norm instead of the outlier. You would likely only surrender the

Last apartment had and air circulation system for hang drying clothes. They would dry in a couple of hours and we never had to deal with shrinkage or wear. Our new apartment has a front loaded. My wife's clothes were in awful condition

I'm honestly curious, why do it then? Money isn't worth dealing with something you hate every day.

It's hard to kill them. I'm glad to see that they're getting a second (third?) life because of their durability - I bought mine on deep discount after the Made in America/logger clothes trend went away around 2011 or 201

I wrote a pretty sophisticated longitudinal study app that's currently being used by a top 100 university. The front end is entirely in React. I only have limited experience with Ruby, but tbh, I think I would feel more comfortable mai

I've had several items with near daily use that have lasted me well over seven years. If you want to build a solid, long lasting wardrobe, you can't go wrong with the following: Boots: Redwing Iron Rangers Jeans: Levi 501stf or an

Crawlers are fun! If you're new to the field and want something that's easy to set up & polite, I strongly recommend Apache Storm Crawler ( https://github.com/DigitalPebble/storm-crawler ).

That's standard practice for working article drafts in management & the social sciences. I can't find a link to her data set & reproduction code - I would be surprised if she had it, tbh, because it's unfortunately n

Just to add a little context, one issue she ignores entirely is the relationship between needs based entrepreneurship and the total entrepreneurial activity (TEA) rate. So, one of the effects you're going to run into are that the count

Hot take, but the data for this study comes from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM https://www.gemconsortium.org/ ), which has been repeatedly beaten to death in the literature (that is, used as a primary data source)

As an American citizen living in Switzerland, it's somewhat of an impertinence that I'm essentially limited to using one bank - Post Finance - when Germany and a number of other countries with large expat populations here now ask

I kind of get the impression that there is a glut of developers who know/are learning React and a glut of companies that are having trouble finding someone willing or able to use React (at least where I'm located).

Don't sweat it. My brother in law was in a similar position (education instead of work though), and is now doing very well for himself.

It's unlikely. Chinese intervention in Korea and Vietnam was mainly about keeping US troops off of the Chinese boarder. China's invasion of Vietnam was also partially about limiting Soviet influence in that country.

Africa like the poster above mentioned.

Wouldn't happen. The Vietnamese hate the Chinese more than the Chinese hate the US. It's more likely that the US eventually extends tariffs to other SE Asian countries. That said, I think the real story is companies preemptively s

€30k is only a little under the annual salary in Germany, so I'm suspicious that this figure is somewhat overblown as well. €30k is enough for pretty much any new entry level or basic trim car outside of Audi/BMW/Porsche.

I can't speak for mainland China, but if it's anything like Taiwan, there's probably an illusion of accessibility brought on by the sheer size of the cities/transportation infrastructure that you don't really notice

Switzerland has a very strong social support system for people who make what, in other countries, would be a solidly middle class income. This includes subsidies for housing, basic necessities, and healthcare insurance.

Thailand and Vietnam together are larger than France and Germany combined. They're not a replacement for China, obviously, but they don't have to be. A large part of China's role in global high-tech manufacturing is final as

Lower cost manufacturers are already migrating away from SE Asia because of rising labor costs, driven in large part by competitors expanding into the area for the local market (e.g., auto manufacturers) or moving away from China. The climb
