   The website is taking advantage of the naivety of young women. I would not call it "benign management", just like, for example, I would also not say that online casinos are "benign" just because they are fully legal. The

   I'm only in my late 20s but have managed to rid myself of the pursuit/worry/desire/envy of being a great mathematician. What I worry about now is how to approach the subject with my children. Because on one hand I do n

   I have read the countless studies blog spammed on Reddit and HN for the past 15 years, and formed my opinion accordingly. How is that at all dogmatic?

   I did not intend to ask a question. I know for sure that a lot of potheads really want to push their recreational drug as a miracle do all drug, while ignoring all the negative effects. The negative effects are well documented science. The

   I could make a very strong similar argument for the Greens. They are basically light-conservatives, but they brand themselves on the left side of the spectrum.

   The question is way too broad. Narrow it down to location (city), role, years of experience (junior?, senior?, lead?), industry (IT, Finance, Industry), employer (big, small, startup)

   I did not try to go vegetarian, but out of interest I tried to expand my eating habits and I find it very hard to replace meat with an adequate source of protein. * Beans and lentils give me digestive problems, so I can have them maybe

   Are you a man or a woman? I ask because I notice, women tend to often not like red meat as much, and often also like fish more than men. Observation seems to be supported by some evidence: https://faunalytics.org/wp-content

    Not the definite answer but some observations I see here in Germany: 1. University spinoffs which only exist on paper: all founders and early employees hold paid positions at the university and the spinoff is I think more of a way to deal w

    You got it right. Lots of people here think this is some sort of big conspiracy by lizards to build a surveillance state. In truth, it is simply software companies that have surveillance products to sell lobbying the government. Source: at

    Have to roll my eyes every time I see doctors having to deal with this issue. They cannot just outright say what is common sense, without causing an outcry. So they have to wiggle around issue. "Appropriately planned" is the key p

    Early on in my career I noticed that the most fun programming seems to be done by people who are not actually trained as computer scientists: mathematicians, physicists, engineers, chemists, astronomers ...etc This sort of numerical computi

    I buy used furniture. There is an insane amount of good quality used furniture that is sold or even given away for free. What you have to look out for is that it is made of good quality wood i.e. not particle board or other engineered woods

    I do not think this is the right question you should be asking. Your aim should not be to want to do a Ph.D. Your aim should be to want to get involved in a particular research area that you are already interested in, and you see that oppor

    Random idea, have you tried applying at a university? Sometimes big research groups have additional employees (not Ph.ds or postdocs) who just assist in software development. Due to the low salaries they are always desperate for hiring. Als
