This is much like unit-testing: it can prove the presence of bugs but not the absence. Still, it's necessary, despite its shortcomings.
Someone please explain to me how gag orders surrounding trials came to be considered legally and morally acceptable. I don't understand the justification at all. Doesn't free speech necessarily entail the right to speak…
You know nothing about the upper class. They don't need to hire PR firms (which is very expensive and unaffordable to a bootstrapped startup). They have their well-connected daddies and uncles make phone calls to get…
Startup founders do not go into poverty. To do a startup, you have to be middle-class, at least, from the start, because otherwise you have no hope of getting the funding or building up the savings. The most successful…

Also, though a lot of people won't admit to it, he's putting himself in danger by taking a mediocre job. He can very easily be typecast into that sort of role for a long time.
Of course, this should not be a surprise. If you are no longer fretting about spending too little time with your children after they’re born (because you have a year of paid maternity leave), if you’re no longer anxious…
