The website is taking advantage of the naivety of young women. I would not call it "benign management", just like, for example, I would also not say that online casinos are "benign…

I'm only in my late 20s but have managed to rid myself of the pursuit/worry/desire/envy of being a great mathematician. What I worry about now is how to approach the subject with m…

The E-Pimp is the website, itself.

I have read the countless studies blog spammed on Reddit and HN for the past 15 years, and formed my opinion accordingly. How is that at all dogmatic?

I did not intend to ask a question. I know for sure that a lot of potheads really want to push their recreational drug as a miracle do all drug, while ignoring all the negative eff…

I could make a very strong similar argument for the Greens. They are basically light-conservatives, but they brand themselves on the left side of the spectrum.

The question is way too broad. Narrow it down to location (city), role, years of experience (junior?, senior?, lead?), industry (IT, Finance, Industry), employer (big, small, start…

I did not try to go vegetarian, but out of interest I tried to expand my eating habits and I find it very hard to replace meat with an adequate source of protein. * Beans and lenti…

Have to roll my eyes every time I see doctors having to deal with this issue. They cannot just outright say what is common sense, without causing an outcry. So they have to wiggle …

No Germany takes academic qualifications very seriously. A conversion masters would be frowned upon, because it is just a Bachelor's level of education with the MSc. designation in…

I guess I'm a martian then.

Early on in my career I noticed that the most fun programming seems to be done by people who are not actually trained as computer scientists: mathematicians, physicists, engineers,…

I buy used furniture. There is an insane amount of good quality used furniture that is sold or even given away for free. What you have to look out for is that it is made of good qu…

I do not think this is the right question you should be asking. Your aim should not be to want to do a Ph.D. Your aim should be to want to get involved in a particular research are…

Random idea, have you tried applying at a university? Sometimes big research groups have additional employees (not Ph.ds or postdocs) who just assist in software development. Due t…

If you had a button you could press which would magically make all weapons on earth disappear, what will you have achieved? You would have just transformed the power structure and …
