    Are you talking about a hypothetical scenario or do you actually do this? I am asking because as people start earning more money, lifestyle creep introduces new types of expenses. …

    I agree with the general point but in practice you will find a range of people with the same supposed responsibilities. Not all of them would be executing them at the same level. O…

    It might benefit workers in general but I don't think it will benefit me as a software engineer. The salary becomes tied to the job title/level and it becomes hard for me to indivi…

    Even computer engineering is like that --- a bunch of neat ideas supported by an inordinate number of man-hours. But since you are stuck as a CS Major, here are some areas that you…

    That is ironic coming from a Canadian. Just recently, a lot of money poured in from Canada to support the farmer protest in India. Here is one example: https://www.gofundme.com/f/d…

    This was not just fake news, this was deliberate misinformation. A title saying 'FB threatens to leave EU' means something very different from 'FB lists EU regulation as a potentia…

    Yeah, I have the same concern as well. However, I felt that being able to visualize things in my head allowed me to solve some of these problems very quickly (in around 4-5 seconds…

    If a non-standard dataset is being used, I would expect there to be a discussion/analysis on what characteristics of that dataset made it unusable for this paper. Especially if a p…
