Thanks for pointing this out to me! It's disappointing to hear that, but after reading through the Kiva's response I understand some of the difficulty. They're certainly not ideal but seem like a solid choice compared to most

There is an organization that focuses on this which has been quite successful as far as I know. https://www.kiva.org/ The idea is micro loans directly to people who want to do something like buy a cow. "Kiva loans have

That's an excellent point, any substance that alters your brain chemistry such as Marijuana, Alcohol, or Coffee can have a positive or negative impact. We are rich complex beings and everything we put in our body adds to that. I think

Those statistics are highly suspect, from the article: "Every year, the government gathers these statistics by approaching 6000 households and asking them to fill in a questionnaire. They don’t have to write their names on it, but they

I moved here originally for love, then stayed because it feels like home now. I'm in Linz, I started in Testing, moved to back end in Java and am now full stack + devops. Still spend most of my time hacking away at Java on the back end

It's improving a lot in Austria right now I feel like, there's huge demand. I have friends that thanks to big bonuses are taking home ~100k€ for developer positions. (They are very good at what they do)

Europe is all about quality of life raises rather than cash raises. My passion is acrobatics and I negotiated less working hours rather than a big pay raise. This year I'll do partner acrobatics teacher training for a month in spain an

These are both excellent points about life expectancy, thank for for sharing this information, looks like I got to learn something today. The overall point however that Marie Curie did live a long fruitful life despite her research and coul

I agree, in fact to go even further the upper limit would also have to be specified. For example 3886 of the 1000000 companies founded in the past 1500 years in Japan have survived giving a 0.3886% survival rate. Since we have no idea how m

I have a friend who's fairly young (early 30's) who heard about an opening in COBOL that a company couldn't fill, taught himself COBOL just to fill that position and ended up running his department and getting headhunted from

In fact it's so good that it's now making inroads in Europe and North America. If you play internet games many of the guilds require members to use LINE. I picked it up to chat with friends in Japan and love it, I'm now tryin

Some introverts are prone to rushes of sociability, what I heard that really clicked with me was that it's how you relax or recharge. If you relax or recharge best alone then you're basically introverted, if you relax or recharge

Y'know the thing about topbars or sidebars that scroll with the user to stay on the page? They obstruct vision, thus they get blocked. Then later when the user returns to the page at another time they're confused that the site doe

Livejournal was a pretty big blogging center that started in the 90's. (Well '99 so the end I guess) If you look at wikipedia for blogging it seems blogging started in the mid 90's but was probably mostly done on self hosted

I highly recommend drinking a cup of hot water in the morning. Actually at least some of the benefit of a cup of coffee is the warming effect on the body. (Which is why showers are a great way to wake up in the morning) You also can't

In Austria it's 25 + bank holidays, and Austria has a large amount of bank holidays so some years it can be around 35 days free. I was pretty shocked when I first started working here how much time was given free. I'm going to hav
