If it was that simple, why don't they use that strategy with young workers as well? Because the young workers are already cheaper. Hard to out-cheap them. (Obviously not their faul…

Is this going to be a political thread? If so I really don't like Trump, but having said that: Fauci says in person voting with masks and distancing is safe: https://www.businessin…

I've been watching Sir David Attenborough since I was a kid, and I am now middle aged. And I've known about species extinction since I was a little kid. They've happened and keep h…

Or alternatively, we deliberately infect it without athmosperic bacteria: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090318094642.h... Which would be terrible... but true to our…

Zeppelins and jetpacks!

It never occurred to me that a division of a company could just... secede from the parent company. Typical in very corrupt countries. I grew up in one. People who lead big/importan…

Wasn't there a sweet spot somewhere in the Venus atmosphere that's more Earth sauna like, than the hellish surface of Venus?

I wish we would subside biochar in agriculture the same way we did ethanol. Or include it in carbon trading. Or both. And fertilise the open ocean deserts with iron while we're at …

Agism is illegal already, and yet we still deal with it. As a young developer I watched great old developers, fantastic at their job and with super deep experience let go first. My…

A more interesting question is how far will we go. Based on human history, I am fairly sure the end of humanity is approaching. 100 to 150 years I'd guess. I don't mean we'll be go…

innovation in Europe can only scale if we achieve a higher degree of unity in Europe, including one common language, one common jurisdiction and law framework. Localization is just…

Sadly I can't recall the name of the book I read as a kid, but it was all about dangerous animals. The kind of stuff pre-teen boys are super into. Well, I was hoping for adventure …

I am shocked this first version of an online encyclopedia has lasted so long. Typically first versions of software reproduce real world limitations, which don't apply to the softwa…

I am based in the North East, also over 40, and my experience both of you are correct. Agism is absolutely real, but opportunities still exist.

With over 20 years experience in the industry, and some products I have worked on visible in SuperBowl advertisements, I can honestly say during interviews I can count to potato. M…

The same headline would be equally true from the moment we left Africa and entered other continents, to today.

My question is how do you solve/amend this? Don't have just one most important/critical thing your life, like your professional life for example. Very serious advice, go outside an…
