The corporate tax rate is progressive, barely. Making it more progressive is also and option. 75.000 - 10.000.000 is taxed at 34%, adding some granularity would help.

London has plenty of events for developers, you just get out and find them.

London is one of the most diverse cities in the world. Relatively speaking, almost every city in the world is less diverse.

The salads at Chipotle are also a good choice.

I've often seen recommended protein intake while lifting weights as 1g per lb of lean body mass.

Yeah, lots of broscience nonsense like that stems from the "bob did it and he is ripped so you must need to do it" line of thinking. Sedentary people need 0.69 g of protein per kg of lean body mass. Strength athletes need 1.41 g/kg (which is only 0.64 g/lb, way below the crazy numbers broscience likes to repeat). People who lift weights casually 3 times a week are going to be somewhere in the middle obviously.

> Especially because it forced my high-school math teacher to think more about preparing students for college-level work.

I believe high school students who take college courses can be a great asset for their high school for this very reason.

As a junior in high school I took college algebra at a community college in the evenings. As a result of the conversations with my math teacher, she made many changes to the subjects she covered in her pre-calc and algebra 2 classes.

As a senior in CS and math, I completely agree. Calc II, III, elementary differential equations, and matrix theory classes are about 85% engineers at my university. As such, theory was not the focus. All I had to do to get an A was learn an algorithm and apply it. Most of my friends in CS seem to think that higher level math courses are the same and if that is the general assumption I don't blame people for not pursuing math degrees.

I wasn't sure about flatline's post, but I'm sure about yours: You should read the PDF I posted. You certainly aren't disagreeing with me (or Lockheart).

I worked as an intern over the summer at a small startup and had an hour long lunch break. While the other interns would eat out and be gone for an entire time, I would eat the lunch I brought and take a 30-40 minute nap each day. I slept at my desk, right in front of my boss.

I was away from work for an hour, like everyone else, only I would be much more productive after the lunch hour. My boss was amused by my behavior.
