What are you replacing gmail with?
Why?Your phone number is public, but you wouldn't be happy if the lat/long of your phone during various times of the day is public, right?

Not referring to "grit your teeth and be fake polite" which I've noticed many people do. But genuinely be calm (when production systems go down and customers are yelling, for example) and kind (especially when others around us are unreasonable just because they can) and lastly, be kind to self. And absolutely not use crap like sarcasm to deal with the situation.Any tools that worked for you in...
From my limited research Germany and Australia seem good, though it doesn't seem easy in Germany if you want to become a citizen. With more and more job losses and automation, I think this hysteria against (legal) immigration is only going to grow, justified or not. There would always be a place for people with highly valued skills though.
I wonder if there are smaller countries (like Estonia etc) which might be worth exploring.
On this topic, does anyone know of any resource that can ask a series of questions (age, qualifications etc) and suggest countries they are qualified for?
But there is a difference between promoting a product vs shifting blame, isn't it?
Reporters could send in the basic details of a traffic accident and would get in return a complete article to print the next day. These articles, printed widely, shifted the blame for accidents to pedestriansTo me, that is the craziest sentence in the article. Reporters were outsourcing writing to the auto industry? Of course they blamed the pedestrians! In what world is this ethical?
What is next? Sending overdose details to pharma companies for them to blame the drug users?
India was a collection of many many smaller kingdoms when the British came to the scene. There was a whole bunch of infighting and backstabbing going on which the British happily encouraged and exploited.
It is definitely amazing that they could do what they did, considering the sheer size of the country.
Does anyone know where CMC gets the circulation numbers?
presence of Caucasians and males was mocked with ‘boos’ during companywide weekly meetings.What does this even mean? People booed simply because they were white and male? I honestly don't get it. And who did the booing?
My experience is similar to your parent comment - I've never been able to check into a hotel without showing photo ID (I never paid cash btw, always credit card, always in advance and in many cases had the print out of the booking). Same for hip boutique hotels and motels.
There was a free street concert - even for that the road was blocked on both sides and only those with valid IDs could get in.
So yeah, maybe not universal but it happens enough to be a hassle.
One of the most striking columns in that list is the "Government Spending" column. It is red all over the place, including top two in the list - Taiwan and Australia!
They sent me a bill for over $900. For taking a picture, and giving me tylenol and an ace bandage.That is awful :(
Imagine someone making minimum wage. 900$ is huge for most people.
Honest question - outside of politics, is there anything a person on the road do to help make this situation better (other than not falling sick)? Any company/org working on solutions?
I've seen this mentioned multiple times here. Did you go to any of the retreats? Could you share a bit more info, about your experience?
Any specific projects you are planning to make? Also, what resources are you using to learn?
This might be true in law, medicine etc, not necessarily software. Sure, there are some big companies that will filter resumes based on degrees, but there are tons of companies that will hire based on skill set and expertise. Software development is still one of those jobs where one can go pretty far with skills alone (both technical and soft skills).
Also, "most coveted" in this case may be big companies

It has already happened with kids - how many men hesitate to become teachers? Even though there are lots of men who want to teach and are good at teaching?
Any favorite resources you use to learn?

It seems most of the convo around blockchain is crypto currency. What are some other use cases? Is it as revolutionary as it sounds?
It's intentionally designed so that good people can sometimes do something unpopular in the public interest.Except in this case, it is not in public interest
Where can one get historical and current prices of all crypto currencies as a downloadable dataset, even for commercial use?
This sounds like a terrible idea. Maybe if one is a 15 year old kid, sure, for shits and giggles. Why would a researcher do this, damaging their reputation in the process? And what good does it serve anyone?
Not faddish at all. I've read about fruitarians, people who eat only one food item at a time (mono meals) etc - all claim it worked for them.
Thank you for the book recommendations, ordering two of them.
Could you please share some details? What did you eat? Do you think it is possible to reverse it, even if the person was diabetic for a long time?
okay, any recommendations of smaller shops?
I am not too interested in ancestry, I'll probably just look at it out of curiosity and thats it. More interested in their health reports.
What do you mean by "ruined others"?
