    Well rather than one book, it would be valuable to summarise the top 20 "management" books at once and ask it for the common points and unique points. And perhaps which of them ref…

    Surely there are, say, British, European or American FIFA representatives who can be tried for taking bribes, or for being part of an organisation which takes bribes? Why are those…

    This is my (basic, lay) understanding of how changes to UK law happen, as well. For example, here is a collection of "Statement of changes in Immigration Rules: 1994 to 2020": http…

    Highly recommend Capek's other works, The Insect Play, and War with the Newts.

    This paradigm-shift is a chance to address one of the leading causes of preventable death in the world. It doesn't surprise me for a moment that this was Uber (though it might have…

    That's fantastic, thank you! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/np Is it possible to further reduce the minimum supporter amount (to, say, $1?) - or customize it?

    In a similar vein, my bicycle. I use it for commuting, transport, and leisure. A good bicycle ride, like a good ski, is magical and freeing, and the object is imbued with some of t…

    Probably true, but these companies will be among the first to deploy; no need to measure against general "widespread deployment". There are autonomous taxis already, albeit not qui…
