Comment Re:If they charge $15,000 for a ten week course... (Score 1) 374

The company might well be registered with them already. Searching for VMWare, Oracle, SAP on their approved schools page returns a number of training companies with registered technical offerings. Not living anywhere near California, I have no idea what training companies there are, so YMMV.

They should be pushing courses into these countries as hard as possible. By exposing the students to the rest of the world and having them interact with the multitude of other countries and cultures of the other students, you give them an understanding of what the rest of the world is like and a chance to debate it with others.

By cutting them off like this, you now have a group of students who were busy educating themselves now unable to finish that process and that will likely result in the student starting to think "maybe my government is right about the Americans."

It becomes a matter of balance between whether the course material assists the regime or whether the interaction with other students causes more people to question the regime. I think the balance tips heavily in favour of causing questions.

You wouldn't keep it there, but because of the regional market segmentation, PLEX might be 550mil ISK in Jita and 620mil ISK in nullsec somewhere, so you decide to buy a bunch of them, transship to the higher selling market and make a quick profit. Unless you undock from Jita 4-4 and get blown to pieces.

You don't have to ship it yourself, as you could run a courier contract, but they can get stolen and if you price the collateral high enough to not make a loss if they get nicked, then the chances of someone taking the contract up diminishes because of the not-able-to-dock-in-the-delivery-station scams making massive collateral contracts suspect.

The three scales, 100k, 500k and 1M, are the points at which certain accounting and audit requirements kick in. At 1M, the full bank of requirements has kicked in and are applicable no matter how far above that limit you get. Maybe there should be a 250M and 1B point with even more requirements, but the SEC seems to think that everything they need at 1B is answered by the requirements at 1M.

You need to dig deeper into the history of Christianity, not just the European version of. Original sin did not exist as a doctrine until Augustine of Hippo and it does not exist at all in the Eastern Orthodox rites. Christ did not atone for the "possible" sin of Adam and Eve, he atoned for our active sinning.

Augustine formalized the doctrine as he needed something to argue against sex as being fun for the Romans.

Eastern Orthodoxy does not accept hereditary guilt or sexually-transmitted original sin and states more logically that humans exist in a fallen state where we are susceptible to sin and require work to rise from that state.
