Makes onde wonder if such unscrupulous lawsuit comes from her real desire, or her husband's.

If the former is true, it's quite ludicrous to believe the case would be an achievement for feminists.

That's not always a good argument to use

They're doing a terrible job misinforming about fake terrorist attacks and so on.

However,Western media and forums end up becoming quite biased in their own PC. Different points of views are often ignored or nonexistent(strong herd mentality).

If Russians limited their actions to showing another side of the story, I don't think it'd be a bad thing.

Problem is that many of these majors used to offer a career path in the past, but presently face outrageous competition.

If Snowden came back to the U.S and got released, he wouldn't be the whistleblowing platform he currently is.

As a successful recent college dropout(3 years ago co-founded a company), my only fear is on what's next(on my career). b

Somehow, you end up solely relying on yourself, whereas many have degrees to do that.

Even with my solid experience, I doubt Google/Apple/Uber would ever hire me for an entry position.

Interestingly:

>Soviet Union 4 | 0.0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 100.0%

Is there any reason to assume it'd stop anyway?

If it hadn't been approved, I doubt the real outcome would've been different.

Another lesson to avoid becoming completely dependent on any product. Always good to have a backup plan.

'Normal' was fairly biased, as it mostly refers to an average western individual.

Nothing wrong with it, but why not avoid the negative aspects of it? Why not fostering your own culture?

Any recommendations for a good blog on modern HFT?

Maybe 90's and 80's, but if it was truly cyclical, one'd have to notice the same with Boomers, who retired in the company they interned

>social media itself is the tool younger workers use to make sure they have contacts in place

I know the articles tries to depict this as 'innovative/cool', but it's the same issue of crony capitalism vs true meritocracy.

The larger the population, the more inmates(in total number) there will be. Therefore, its organizational structure becomes harder to manage and prone to bureaucracy.

It's a good idea for Americans to get elements from the article, but it's impossible to completely emulate it.

Norway has a smaller and more homogeneous population, making these programs easier to be managed and funded.

I've been waiting years to see someone like him running for presidency, but I lack experience in Politics to determine if he could have a shot.

Probably makes sense from a founder's perspective, but investors eventually need an exit( long-term or not).

Going back to the Greeks(e.g Essentialism) all the way to Modern Evolution would foster a much stronger intellectual background and avoid most future indoctrination. Understanding fallacies in theories is better than just taking them for granted.

But why be so picky on this matter? Unlike other concepts, Religion/Indoctrination can have a serious impact on one's life and true critical thinking is the only weapon against it.

Although I'm an atheist, I find this to be somewhat disturbing.

Creationism, regardless of its mythological background, still is part of Humanity and any conclusions about it should be drawn by the individual, not the State or teachers.

They'd be better off spending more time with Critical Thinking, Scientific Method and Logic, powerful tools to genuinely understand Religion and not just take "facts" for granted.

I wonder if rate of governments barricading SMBs is a good metric for tyranny.

Facebook has too many elements of "poisonous Internet": ignorant rants, memes, political correctness, exaggerated display of public affection,...

Gradually, users find other websites to channel their interests and avoid biases, like Reddit, Pinterest, HN,...

It's a serious falacy to assume one will always need a network filled with friends and family.

A a Latino programmer, I must say it's never been easier to get a job. From this angle, there's something even beyond a meritocracy.

However, if one wants to raise money(some VCs) or get a finance job, most are biased towards a certain stereotype(skills not as blatant) and that's where the real prejudice exists.

Any reason to assume it would only spread the (debatable) existence of a bubble?

Dilbert principle at its best

I'm assuming one would have to manage a hedge fund to actually be benefited?

Seems somewhat unfeasible for an individual investor.

I'm not sure there'd have many corporations and, if so, buying local officials would be useless, as they'd have limited power in the first place.

Whereas Stack Ranking uses greed to estimulate achievement on projects, Lockstep uses greed to solely achieve a job title.

Therefore, Lockstep salaries are more vulnerable to office politics and employees pretending to achieve, in order to 'look good' and get a better salary.

Articles like these are well-intentioned, but it's part of a quite ignorant and manipulative trend.

It makes one believe Capitalism means Coca-Cola, Microsoft and other corporations taking over the world, corrupting local governments and destroying local businesses.

At its best, this is a form of 'Crony Capitalism', but far from what Capitalism genuinely is.

It's a fallacy to assume IPOs are the only way to burst a bubble. Funds and institutional investors still hold a lot of capital that traces back to the Average Joe.

The burden of risk is just not directly put on them.
