In other words, monopoly.

It can be inexpensive in terms of rent but you will need to pay for transportation (i.e. car and gas) to live in the US.

I lived in Budapest and Chiang Mai, Thailand before and the advantage of these cities is that you can pretty much walk anywhere or pay little for private/public transportation. Food is everywhere and you're not stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The cost of owning a car is part of the living expense... so it's not just rent.

And FYI, I had a nice studio in Chiang Mai for less than $250 a month. It was professionally cleaned every week and the place was just steps away from cafes and grocery stores. No cars required.

This is free market working correctly. Transparency is important. You should have information about the price AND outcome. It is not mutually exclusive.

Men apply if they are 60% qualified and most women apply if they feel they are 100% qualified. Making the application description more female-friendly does not bring more under-qualified candidates. It brings those who doesn't feel as confident in their own ability but ARE qualified.

What you miss here is that men are often overconfident and women are under-confident. It has nothing to do with qualification. It has everything to do with confidence.

And yes, women are often less confident because tech is an industry often marketed for men.

Thank you for having a conscience and not doing these dirty work.

Reading how these technology affected election outcomes make me want to work on the 'light' side. I'd love to help out in 2020 in some capacity for the right candidate.

So you're saying the U.K. lied and Russia is telling the truth? Lol, how do I know Russia is being truthful? I would believe this only if confirmed by a truly independent Russian insider. Oh wait, there aren't any because Putin assassinated them all!

How does Mossad have the facilities and knowledge to produce Novichok? It's not something you can order from Amazon.

Why? Because Russia is an international bully/mob. They are going after people on their hit list because they don't have to fear the U.S. intervention. Clearly, Trump is not going to do a thing. So now is the time for assassinations in the U.K. The country and NATO are at a weak position because the U.S. probably won't help sanction and retaliate Russia.

What is it that makes this fishy to you? Why do you think Russia is not responsible? Who else would've done this? Did someone just magically have a rare nerve agent made in Russia, brought it to UK and sprayed it on an ex-Russian spy? Gosh, what a freak accident! Or if someone did it on purpose then what is his intention? Why would someone go out of his way to frame Russia? What is the goal? Purpose? Or maybe... just maybe... it is just Russia being Russia and doing shady Soviet style operations.

Pai was appointed by Obama at the recommendation of Mitch McConnell.

And this is because only 3 FCC commissioners may be members of the same political party. So once Obama appointed 3 Democrats, he HAS to appoint 2 Republicans. McConnell essentially appointed the other 2 for Obama.
