And extremely aggressive taxation.

Korean work is hyper competitive. Few good positions, lots of highly educated people. 69 hours is a result of employees needing to prove loyalty and commitment, not that there is t…

Because it could be socially enforced. Ie. "You cant take Fridays off because thats when our clients are available" becomes "everyone takes Easter week off" See: Australia. We have…

Probably more like a PR firm or social monitoring/management company is being paid a princely fee to monitor for things like this and then forum slide, distract, change topic etc. …

Copyright needs to include a concept similar to abandonware

I agree, and think that this should be incorporated into the cost. Ie, a project twice as complex should be 5x the cost due to the additional management, comms overhead, permutatio…

FTA they can be made to look like stone, wood, concrete or brick. Seems like a great idea especially in the places where you need to match the style of buildings or cant change out…

Absolutely. I adjust my shower based on feel, sometimes I want hot, sometimes I want cold. Then I just turn then temperature knob. I don't think I will ever want an explicitly 38°C…

To me, this doesn't stack up. Eg In Australia, there are 25M people. The annual cost of UBI per person would be around 30K (unemployment allowance) or 50K (Living wage) This means …

He already fled once to the Bahamas.

I agree that the focus on her father's professorship is strange in this context. More broadly it seems like it might be blurring lines... SBF's parents being specifically Law profe…

Apparently the trick was to mis-scan a couple of items as lower cost items. Eg. Meat as brown onions. That way it looks like a legitimate shopping experience to anyone watching (en…

Most, if not all people have moved to vapes, which are not covered by this law. Ie kids can still buy them. This is only shifting deck chairs on the Titanic, not any meaningful cha…

Can someone more knowledgeable explain if there was actually a choice? Seems like its a strange way to frame it. In my mind, you are either being extradited or fighting extradition…
