Why did she become a teacher? I mean, the grades difference required to be a teacher vs CS are vast. How does that happen? My mum went through this - she finished 1st in a state in Australia in English, and top 100 in…

I'd be surprised if there wasNT a lawsuit. I'm not American - but what's the risk to the sacked dude? He sues, loses, and then what? He sues, wins, how much? What do lawyers cost? Solve for the equilibrium. I think the…

Yep, that's the lesson! But seriously, what are the rules here? I went OS for 6 months once (started out as 1) and worked the whole time. I billed through my AU company, but still, was I allowed to work in those places?
I think the idea is you get the research, plus all the citations for or against, versus pages of articles on The Guardian, or Techcrunch, or Breitbart. That tool sounds pretty cool to me to be honest!

I'm not sure I agree. A significant play in the startup playbook is: 1. Double Revenue in X period. 2. Add 50% to costs in same X period. 3. Raise enough money that the money in the bank is greater than the losses while…
I love the caveats - and yes, it is really good, and no, I neither endorse nor reject this paper either... at the very least, I'll do neither publicly :) Seriously, a quality read.
Which you can't show me? Even if I accept that, even if that is true, is it better to make more and lose the other four dimensions? I can see where NOT making more is better for a person, if they can optmise some other…
