Can't recall the link, but a few people said they were rehired at lower pay on contract for their old company (imho I believe they will be severed again when the integration gets better)

I will disagree with that from experience. I'm from a small (under a million) country with a surplus of lawyers... it's corrupted them in the sense that there's not enough work around to make money from being efficient, so th

That's some food for thought. My issue with programming courses is they ask you to memorize the commands then use them; most programming is about creating the logic then QA'ing with some data. Excel is data-first and becomes more

Faster growth = less nutritious plants bc they are slow to take up minerals from the soil. But they do produce more sugar. On the other hand the heat may make some plants shrivel, there was an article about the impact of heat on grapes. Tro

Supply and demand is not a law there is also sensitization and the creation of culture. A city with nice restaurants creates higher value on interesting food. The same applies to music-centred cities and art.

Seen many dive bar regulars 40s to 60s, seeking relief from reality 4 nights a week. Drinking is how they coalesce a social life, but it's created with other problem drinkers. Their drama, commiserating and complaints were really depre

IMHO, the journalists' mistake was lazily relying on easily accessible Western orgs instead of partnering with Eastern-based journalists to examine stories coming out of China. I've been following the South China Morning Post sinc

I wouldn't say that they should have shut things down preemptively, but their job is to have up-to-date contingency plans and be ready to implement them when thresholds are crossed.

According to a report out of China, we are already experiencing the mutated version which is less lethal (0.6%) than the original (5%). I am hopeful that as we identify and remove the strains causing more terrible effects via prevention and

As to your first point, I believe they are looking for the best fit to decades of data, not to a single point in time. As to your second argument, both historically and presently in science the tall nail gets hammered, it's a very cons
