Well written article! I always find it funny when the media claims a majority with their wording when in fact it is an extreme minority. Like those afflicted with H1N1/Bird Flu/zika/ebola etc.. all are dwarfed by people that

When I lived in Deutschland, I would almost always shop on Amazon.com in lieu of shopping at Amazon.de (Amazon.co.uk is even more heinous), because the numerical value is almost always the exact same with a different sign and my Euro payche

If you are getting paid 10¥ and your neighbor is making £10 then yes, the yen is comparatively worthless as a wage. Money does work like that when you are talking about an actual comparable wage. The pound and euro are much more comparable

Well, to start, immigrants are not counted from within EU countries in most polls for EU countries. A lot of the immigrants England received and had no choice in the matter were from Czech, Poland etc. (BTW Switzerland also had a referendum

A relatively small island nation that is an extremely attractive destination to acquire work. Especially from the poorer countries in the EU. Being paid in pounds, would net you even more than average (for the EU) for low skill requirement

Compared to just prior to joining the EU, the pound is down nearly 100%, since they were at about 2.50 USD the year they joined and that was prior to massive inflation. I think the bigger picture is eluding some people in the face of shiny

Well said, I am not a judge, nor do I plan to pour over millions of criminal arrests to make judgment calls (which would negate the purpose of automation)... All we can work with is the data given.

It seems perfectly reasonable to station police in places which are indisputable hotspots for crime. I mean, is it discriminatory to say that Compton has a lot of crime and police should patrol it? Or is this just loosely using the tech com

Odd how often people forget that. Especially when they are the aggrieved, or sympathize with the aggrieved.

Sadly people do not appreciate debate anymore, they simply want to read statements that agree with whatever position they believe to be true, fair or what have you. I fear for a society that no longer collaborates and grows but rather shout

The European Union was a resounding success for Germany, the Deutsche Mark was terrible in comparison and their economy saw a huge lift.

Very true, unfortunately, pooling money between a few economically well developed countries and quite a few economically bunk countries does not work well for those whose money was actually worth something in the first place.

The drivers still reserve the right to refuse service, I'd just drive off if someone did that lol I do see how it could be abused. Although im not sure how you would stop that, even with a female only drive service. I wonder what happe

Cynical yes, but some people do really good work and just end up in the position because of it. Too much painting with a broad brush and trying to redefine a word normally reserved for an Ace team member.

Who said they have to ignore third party reports? I was simply saying that the aggregate would logically be a much larger number than any number of "rockstars" that happened to be caught in wrongdoing. A bit like the focus on Mass

Your best bet is to try and network through LinkedIn (Social Media in general), local events etc. You will also want to get a lawyer involved to setup the business registration, any viable patents, contracts etc. You will probably hit pay d

Well said. Although I think it needs to be pointed out that sometimes, someone is a Rockstar because they earned it. Which seems to be a possibility left unexplored in this piece.

So, perhaps that would explain the extreme jump from jerk to sexual deviant and the clear tone being taken in the opening. However great first hand experience is for ted talks, it is generally relegated to very low on the quantifiable scale

The "Good old boy" club is hard to overcome. I would suggest sending your resume out to some headhunters and when they send back some offers, go ahead and present your case to the CEO. At worst, you get a fresh start at a new job.
