“encouraged to join STEM programs”

Thanks for adding ‘maybe’ to the mix.

‘Could’ and ‘if’ in the same title. Jeez. Is there no actual news you can write about?

I believe it was originally a Jalopnik post.

I was at a mathematics conference in Romania and no fewer than 6 attendees were attacked by stray dogs. One of them was this elderly Japanese gentleman who had to spend several months there recovering. My friend told me that the trick is to befriend one stray dog by feeding him and then he will protect you from the…

Apart from the handful of fully developed, progressive nations, (G6 + the US), the vast majority of countries out there have stray dogs roaming around every city, town and village. Many are harmless, but a hungry dog is a hungry dog. Most of the world doesn’t see dogs the way we do.

I lived near the stadium in Yekaterinburg a few years ago and the packs of stray dogs are terrifying... I don’t know that putting down the packs isn’t better for everyone involved. There aren’t any cities in the US where we let large groups of large dogs roam freely. Just because pounds in the US euthanize strays one…

Here’s an interesting stat that may blow your mind: Feral dogs constitute as much as 85% of the total world domestic dog population. Most US cities have fairly good animal control resources, so it’s an issue few Americans really appreciate.

In rich western countries, people have this idea that stray dogs are all cute little pups just waiting to be adopted into a loving home. In poorer countries, stray dogs are basically packs of urban wolves that prey on pets, livestock, and often humans (especially kids). Last month packs of wild dogs killed six…

While slaughtering these animals is sad, this article does not seem to mention what a big problem stray dogs are in Russia. They are everywhere. My wife was born in Sochi was once cornered by a pack of stray dogs on her walk home from school. I’m sure she was acting like a nervous kid but she was attacked and still…

Well, cause we are human beings asshole.

Get rid of medallions. Artificial Scarcity of anything is a form of tatic only used by monopolies and gangsters.

The problem is the government enforced cartel. Had taxi licenses and medallions been unrestricted in number and say $25 or even $2500 or something in between there would be no issue. There would be no place for uber under such conditions.

The reason the medallions cost $700K (not even the peak price of over a mil) was…

All I can think about - well, except the fact I should offer my condolences to the family of all lost lifes - is how long until this Uber/Lyft effect reaches the other two major scams in the US: Education and Health Care. Everyone making their millions with these two are going to meet their makers in the same fate as…

I’m guessing that store on 14th Street that sold pagers (beepers) in the 80's is out of business too, I sure hope that guy didn’t kill himself.

With no other options, he chose to end his life.

With suicide, someone else has to fill out all the paperwork.

In what alternate universe would someone think that spending $7ooK on this kind of speculative venture would be a good idea? Someone who cares about him should have stopped him from doing that. If he wanted to borrow that amount to start a business, he should have figured out his 5 year plan better. And failing at…

While paying 700k to drive a taxi definitely is a problem,these guys didnt kill themselves because of uber. Obviously they had many other problems. If anything this is another mental health psa.

Suicide is easier than bankruptcy? Do tell.
