Yeah, these medieval brutality scenes show how desperately the government wants power and this fact reveals that Ukraine is fighting not against Russia or supporting joining EU, but for their human rights. Apart from being obviously political it's also an anti-corruption revolution. The whole legislative body is corrupted to issue laws dated by Jan 16 2014. The whole judicial system is criminal to put people to jail for carrying a Maidan badge with them or wearing a helmet. There are no good words about local police and special troops who arrest, torture and kill the innocent. There are 2 main questions to ask: how did this massive criminalization happen? and is there a peaceful way out?
I completely agree. The whole article seems to be a mix of what people would like to hear re philanthropy and what Bill Gates would like other people to do. Not sure he tells out all the motives he has. But the main idea of the article is good –getting hands on helping the world but doing what you can do the best is cool. What many idealists who work in this area lack is co-working with those who can help them use cutting edge technologies and get reasonable funding. The ideas are great, let’s see what the implementation will be like. And is the Gates foundation the only one that does that?
When reading the title: Stalin's ropes I was expecting something more cruel and dangerous like an article on prisons or tortures or something. What a relief to find out that it's about city transport, though it Is dangerous now as they haven't maintaned it well and the breaks should add the security to those ropes. I doubt if I dared to use them unless wishing for the adrenaline rush.
Neat idea! But what makes you think that graphene super capacitors are the best option? Why not some combination with solar battery(if it's going to fly outside) or some other kind of energy source?
I agree. If they start producing this robot as an affordable toy -kids and parents would love it! And it should give them the best and the most numerous use cases.
While trying Not to multitask, I find it really pleasant to do only one thing at a time. First, you learn how to do several things at once, and after you master the skill –here you go –you start really appreciating ability to concentrate only on one thing. Reading papares on pros and cons of multitasking only proves this experience.
Great article that proves: living in NY and SF is so many times cooler than in Miami that a person needs to write an Article on how good it is to live in Florida to welcome guys to open vacancies. Epic way to hire people, but I’m sure I’m the only one who’s read the Whole article, too good and too long.
As a recruiter, I’d say that you really need to tell what you’re thinking to people who might interview you. PhD shows that you’ve spent some years to get your skills Certified and thus master some of them. Bur it doesn’t mean that a person with a PhD is better than the one without but with 5-10 years experience of working in some specific area. Some good programmers and scientists(like data scientist) never get a PhD and their skills are not lower compared to their certified peers. So my advice would be: lay it on the line regarding what you’re looking for in terms of challenges and reward for them and show what you can. Papers don’t matter much nowadays but personalities do.
There used to be an anti-alcohol war, alcohol was banned and has everybody stopped using it? No way! So what's the point in "war on drugs"? Putting the word "drugs" to as many posts possible? Making it more appealing and popular?
Well, if you just imagine for a second that you're dead now, and none of the happy things are available for you: walking. smiling, talking, even breathing. Nothing. You can't lift your hand and your hand is not yours. If you really Can imagine this, then none of the struggles are left. Life is freedom to be happy Every single moment. Or not to be. You decide:).
That's an old truth that your name is the sweetest word in the World to you. Apart from this method, Associations(Mr Z looks like my Maths teacher and Ms B sounds like my neighbour) and Impressions help a lot(you usually spot something bright or suprising about the person you meet for the first time: e.g. like Mr Green is the guy with the wig, and Ms Blue is the lady who talks too fast etc. ). The best thing is to combine these 2 methods with the Repeatition and polish them with making up a Story about the group -but that's more to remember the people for lifetime:).
