The website is taking advantage of the naivety of young women. I would not call it "benign management", just like, for example, I would also not say that online casinos are "benign" just because they are fully legal. Then it would be more appropriate to say that the website is not a pimp, but a madam.

I'm only in my late 20s but have managed to rid myself of the pursuit/worry/desire/envy of being a great mathematician. What I worry about now is how to approach the subject with my children. Because on one hand I do not want them to not be ambitious as younglings. But I also do not want them to experience the crushing disappointment of realizing they are not talented, as that was one of the hardest bitter pills of my life.

The E-Pimp is the website, itself.

I have read the countless studies blog spammed on Reddit and HN for the past 15 years, and formed my opinion accordingly. How is that at all dogmatic?

I did not intend to ask a question. I know for sure that a lot of potheads really want to push their recreational drug as a miracle do all drug, while ignoring all the negative effects. The negative effects are well documented science. The positive effects are all vaporous claims from questionable studies.

Really goes to show the objectivity of HN, that I get downvoted for this.

I could make a very strong similar argument for the Greens. They are basically light-conservatives, but they brand themselves on the left side of the spectrum.

The question is way too broad. Narrow it down to

   location (city), 
   role, 
   years of experience (junior?, senior?, lead?), 
   industry (IT, Finance, Industry), 
   employer (big, small, startup)

I did not try to go vegetarian, but out of interest I tried to expand my eating habits and I find it very hard to replace meat with an adequate source of protein.

  * Beans and lentils give me digestive problems, so I can have them maybe twice a month at most.
  * Dairy is fine, but it is not better than consuming meat at all in any respect, so what's the point? Chicken and pork are better than diary if you care about ecological impact.
  * Nuts are very expensive, I have them anyway, but I could not see them as a reliable source of protein due to cost.
  * Eggs are fine, but I can only have so much in a week before I get fed up.
  * Veggie alternatives taste and smell terrible in my experience. 
  * I liked tofu, nothing to write home about in terms of taste, but I can see myself having it once a week.
  * I also eat canned herring and wild caught salmon. Haven't checked on their ecological impact but it is a good source of protein for once a week. 

But really, there is nothing that can match the nutritional density of a piece of chicken, pork or beef. It is packed with protein and easily digestible, you can buy it at any store, you can cook it very easily in a variety of ways, and you can rest assured you have a complete meal if you have it with a side of greens and some carbs.

Not the definite answer but some observations I see here in Germany: 1. University spinoffs which only exist on paper: all founders and early employees hold paid positions at the university and the spinoff is I think more of a way to deal with intellectual property, do more effective marketing and build business relationships. 2. They run on government research grants. 3. Eventually they might start selling some software/hardware they developed as a byproduct but which was not their core research effort, or they start using their highly educated employee base with their niche expertise to start building/selling a product/service that is related to their research effort, but not quite as ambitious.

You got it right. Lots of people here think this is some sort of big conspiracy by lizards to build a surveillance state. In truth, it is simply software companies that have surveillance products to sell lobbying the government.

Have to roll my eyes every time I see doctors having to deal with this issue. They cannot just outright say what is common sense, without causing an outcry. So they have to wiggle around issue. "Appropriately planned" is the key phrase.

No Germany takes academic qualifications very seriously. A conversion masters would be frowned upon, because it is just a Bachelor's level of education with the MSc. designation in front.

I guess I'm a martian then.
