Why do so many tech companies insist on locating themselves in neighborhoods where a modest house costs $3 million? There are countless cities with reasonable costs of living, surely they could still attract lots of qualified people there?

So you're saying being a creep helps drive technological innovation? You're welcome!

I'm a bit confused about the definition of "creationist" and "evolutionist" (these are American definitions that aren't used in the country I grew up in). Is a creationist merely someone who believes in God, or only someone who believes in a literal interpretation of the Bible (ie that the Earth is 6 literal days old)? I've done some googling and I can't seem to grasp the difference between what Americans call an "old-earth creationist" and someone who is simply an evolutionist but believes in God. Or does being an evolutionist mandate believing that no higher power exists and/or no higher power interfered in any way during the forming of the world/humanity?

Comments made online should be treated the same way as comments made face to face. Would saying something hateful to someone IRL result in jail time? In most cases no, at least not in the US. The Westboro Baptist Church's picketing of dead American soldiers comes to mind. I don't think there's anything a troll can say online that matches that. But most other countries don't put the same importance on freedom of speech. How do we address hateful comments made online by, say, an American to a Brit?

And an average house price of $961,000, or about 12x the average income. No thanks.

The problem is that even the suburbs around any large city with lots of tech jobs are still insanely expensive. A detached house in the burbs in the greater Toronto area is still 700k, and try buying one on a property big enough so that you can't hear your neighbor fart in his living room from your living room, it'll cost you well over a million. What I would like to see is companies relocate to other smaller cities where the cost of living is reasonable. Or at least become more tolerant of telecommuting.

It's worth noting that the average price of a detached house in Vancouver is $961,000 while the average family income is $67k/yr. I would recommend against Vancouver if you expect to retire before 80. Toronto isn't much better but at least it has a real economy.

I'm surprised no one mentioned one of those TV sticks that have been selling on all the Chinese electronics sites lately. Just google "android tv stick". I'm not recommending for or against them, just thought someone should bring them up in case you haven't heard of them as they tend to be cheaper than apple tv or roku.

That's due to the fact that Tesla is much more significant to the Serbs than for example Edison to the Americans or Hertz to the Germans, because he's the only Serb who is known globally for his inventions. Compare this to the US or Germany or Russia or France which can claim dozens or even hundreds of world-famous inventors. And actually I believe the US can claim Tesla as American since most of his inventions were produced while he was working in the US.

If everyone thought like you we'd still be swinging from trees flinging our crap at each other.
