I am disappointed there were not donkeys in any image.

I agree with you on "don't do big software project" Specially do not fast scale them out to hundreds of people. You have to scale them more organically ensuring that every person added is a net gain. They think that adding more people will reduce the time.

I am surprised on the lack of creativity when doing these projects. Why don't they start 5 small projects building the same thing and let them work for a year. At the end of the year you cancel one of the projects, increasing the funding in the other four. You can do that every year based on the results. It may look like a waste but it will significantly increase your chances of succeeding.

Not all the flat earthers are true believers. Some are there just for the attention or other motives.

IMHO. It is futile to level the field with the wealthy. They will always have the better opportunities, education, connections, etc. They will find a way.

But we should keep trying to give more opportunities to the less fortunate. Better education, remedial classes, free school lunches, child credits, etc. We do that by asking the wealthy to contribute more. Not by taking away their advantages.(e.g. Admission tests)

May be an opportunity to find talent for State or City governments that want to create their own digital services agencies?

May be you are Danish but you don't know. Time to ask your parents.

If you learned English after 16. You probably still have an accent. Native speakers are really, really, really good at detecting it. They probably know as soon as you say "Hi".

Perhaps you need several program levels? remedial, normal, advanced and gifted.

My naive take is that there is a need for each. remedial helps kids to catch up. Normal is where you have perhaps 70% of the students, advanced where you have kids with more natural ambition in some subjects and gifted is where you send the top 5%?

Interesting. Just a shower thought, but it looks to me that learning to build cloud solutions is amenable to use the case method famously used in Harvard Law School.

There is the LGBT. Specially the T part. The right thing is to do is support their rights, and it is very hard not to do the right thing when you know what the right thing is. However, the republicans have weaponized it against the democrats. They call them radical left and they campaign saying things like the want to convert your sons in girls and other awful things. It is an imposible choice because it can cost you the election.

Perhaps, but a lot of potencial customers will be pissed at him.

Leaving aside what Trump can do. It is sad to realize that a person with so many character faults documented in public can reach the presidency of such powerful country. You loose hope on humanity and wonder if liberal democracies can actually last.

Cortez only had about 500 soldiers. He didn't even had the permission of the Spanish crown, it was a private enterprise. How did he conquered a city of warriors with a population of 300K ? The Aztecs were tyrants that had abused their neighboring states for decades. Cortez built alliances with Tlaxalans and other tribes. There were battles, a small pox epidemic and a lot of blood. But Cortez was overall a great diplomat that took all the cities under Aztec control one by one until only Tenochtitlan remained.

A bit OT. Does anybody have any recommendations to consolidate monthly expenses with your partner.
