Maybe ask for something other than a raise, more holiday days, lower regular expected weekly hours. Argue with your experience and look for something he can make happen, if they cant support a higher wage. If overtime hours are not yet being paid out or used up as holidays ask for this as well... you like the position, you like the team, and you dont really want to change job , thats fine so go for something that is worth it for you outside of more money.

If they are not willing to adjust anything, they dont really value you enough, then you at least know it and can start looking for something else.


Really interresting I hope to see more of this =) such projects are truly inspiring, what we still can develope and build in this world.


no it never stopped being awesome ! But over time and many plots the focus changed and it became a bit more serious... but its totally worth every minute reading ! its really great!


It was a brilliant story , loved it! and did recommend it to i think almost everyone i know at least once XD ! A bit sad its finished


Ditto. Started reading it a few weeks ago and just caught up two days before the end. Certainly ranks among my favorite novels now. Almost literally could not put it down until I finished. Thanks, Eliezer.


I think the gap in income in the first years after leaving University, is at one point because a lot of woman at least a higher percentage then from men may have not enough confidence in themselfs so at one point dont struggle for higher payed jobs, those jobs they still dont completly satisfy the qualifications for, while a higher percentage of men is more willing to just try to get such jobs even without appropriate qualifications.

Also in my opinion a higher percentage of woman then men are not willing to get a job which has a lot of conflict potential , so at least a higher percentage of men are willing to try more stressfull and demanding jobs which also pay better.

These effects add up showing why there may just be a gab in the first years. This is mainly a problem of preferences.

The gaps later on and in higher positions i think are still really a huge problem for woman in all professions, so i would certainly not include them in this really simplified explanation.

This is truly only my opinion regarding the small gap right after getting a degree.


I have to agree to this , i have to mention that i am just now in my last semester for my bachelor , and my school life is now only about 2 years in the past and I am from Germany so may be still different from the experiences in other countrys. What I recall is that most of the time the absolut top performers have been men and not woman , but contrary to this I dont really recall many woman being at the bottom of the class in any subject. This effect i woud say was because most of the girls did almost all assignments and maybe tried to not leave the given path in a way, but also did not try to stand out that much so they were willing to work more for school. While the boys generally were good in some subjekt and focused on their strengths but we were not as willing to pull up our efforts in those subjects we thought of as not really needed for our future.

I really can relate with this I since I myself was really strong in all science and math related subjects as well as in english and art... but regarding languages like latin i did fail , sometimes even handing in a completly white paper, since i could choose which subjekts were going to count in my Abitur ( think of it as A levels ).


Wow thats truly a bit shocking , I dont think its surprising that visits to Whistleblower sites are less than 1% , if it was more we would live in an other world.

About the high percent of visits to those abuse-related hidden services , which is a horrible fact , is mostly related to the kind of service provided ...

whistleblower sites are veeery special in a way and not that many people even have any motivation to use them . All of those illegal markets get far more visits naturally but those who use them as buyers(which must be the main group of visiters )maybe only check them out like once a week ( maybe like most of us use amazon maybe even a bit less).

But now think of youtube or sex related video Sites ... they naturally get more visits from 1 user in a week than any other service ... so i think thats a huge chunk of it.

So just to get this right , i really think its disgusting and shocking how much visits these sites seem to generate, but i think its not necessary related that most user in the dark Web use these services , but maybe just more like those who use them are using them much more exessive than any other service. Also we have to mind the factors mentioned in the article like DOS attacks etc...


Basically I dont think its bad to "force" people go get one of x haircuts in a "country that's stuck in a variety of awkward situations with its neighbours, isolated, famine stricken, and threatening to wage war" for hygienic reasons of the population. But to force them to have this one spezific one is just dumb and certainly only a innnerpolitic struggle for power by Kim Jong Un, same reason i think he is showing this war waging politics and other stuff, or as u mentioned just a distraction.
