Current business & finance uni student here, definitely dreading the new timetable I have (with some early 8am lectures) I have to go to in 2 weeks, offering some tips at 4am in the morning-
some extra uni tips
Lastly,
a couple of cups of coffee and an all-nighter can write up a decent essay or report overnight but it won't help in the long term.
Good luck and just ease into uni with some preparation.
Thanks for the heads up, I found Avid's website and it looks like they're pretty active on the scene. I'll get in touch with them!
You can grab my book right now on Amazon:

Thanks for your support!
The screen res on that laptop is 1366x768 which is abysmally low on a modern laptop. You'll find it annoying coming from a macbook which generally have great screens. Especially as a journo as you'll care about screen real-estate.
Same with having a HDD as opposed to an SSD in 2019.
What about this (15.6" model):
https://www.amazon.com.au/HP-Elitebook-Intel-2-30Ghz-Webcam/dp/B00SQG3SX6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=HP+EliteBook+850+g2&qid=1570593298&s=computers&sr=1-1
or this (12.5" model):
https://www.amazon.com.au/HP-EliteBook-820-G2-Refurbished/dp/B07FCWX4GT/ref=sr_1_3?qid=1570593157&refinements=p_89%3AHP&s=computers&sr=1-3
If you are willing to go refurb from a third party seller, this would be the way to go IMO.
If you wanted to buy brand new because of warranty shenanigans, I'd still consider finding a laptop with a Full HD (1920x1080) screen. Dell have a slightly cheaper laptop that is full HD similar specs otherwise. It's a vostro though which I think is even more budget than the inspiron series.
Even then, I'd consider refurbs from first party retailers like dell. You'll get full warranty and a better deal.
There is a world of information available generally but the consensus by thinking Economists/Finance experts is that Value investing, when done right (and there are a LOT of variables in that) has been consistently the best strategy to get decent returns over the long term. It’s made Warren Buffett who he is.
A caveat, developing a decent strategy and knowing what to look for takes a long time and quite a bit of patience (and discipline!). The intelligent investor by Benjamin Graham should be required reading by anyone starting out.
Other than, as others have said, index funds have offered solid long term returns and are relatively low risk.
Yea my French is still very basic. I need to set more time to learn. If you want to learn a few more important statements like j'aime gros Seins, check this book out http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1569756589
Honestly when in Quebec City I always like the simple tu es tres jolie when striking up a conversation with a female.
There is a really good book on this (I actually think the author is doing an ama on /r/books soon, maybe today!) called narconomics
Good drug empires ARE a business:
https://www.amazon.com/Narconomics-How-Run-Drug-Cartel/dp/1610395832
The kingpins deal with the same sorts of things as any other business, procurement, logistics, staffing, HR, risk, PR, marketing, etc and its all about supply and demand.
Its a really fascinating insight into the real world of the drug trade & while some of it is straight up how you'd expect it be/hollywood gets right (turf battles. e.g. Finite number of shipping territories and border towns to move product through in Mexico, especially lucrative places to sell, etc) a lot of it get wrong. E.g. they almost never kill someone for losing a shipment, because spillage is just part of the biz and cultivating new people and new clients is tough.
Likewise tattoos at the "street" level are meant to promote loyalty. At the top level they are about limiting staff mobility. If people can jump from your organisation easily to other organisations, they'll do it when the perks or money are better. Sure you could potentially hurt them, but that attracts police and the government which is bad for business. Its much harder to take a "better offer" and go work for a startup or rival cartel when you're covered head to toe in your current employers branding.
tl;dr: Tech unicorns should start getting their employees face tattoos to manipulate the labour market.

The act of informal voting is one of voting against the system per se. There was a reason the Soviet Union held elections, they understood the principle act in voting was to express consent to being governed - not the mere selection of a candidate.
José Saramago, a winner of the Nobel prize for Literature wrote a novel about this.
It never ceases to amaze me how those who affirm democracy the most comprehend it the least.
Ebook version is only on Kindle for the moment. You can order the physical edition directly from the Amazon store. Ebook link is there too :)
The new Stephen King book, a book full of antique surgical illustations, a book about creepy asylum treatments back in the early 20th century, and some money toward a new laptop. :)
Get this book and read it to get a decent understanding of JavaScript:

It's probably the best out there... It's rather small for a book on a programming language, but you'll learn all the bits you need to know.
Thats a tough one dude and I sympathise. TBH most people probably dislike their job.
I'd be identifying whether its the profession or the job itself. A career counsellor might work, but I'd be trying to find a mentor within your sector. Is there anyone you can reach out to?
I'd also recommend reading this if you can: https://www.amazon.com.au/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/dp/1455509124

>Well it’s a poorly orchestrated movement
I quite agree, I think is should ave been slightly less confrontational but much bigger, they just don't have the numbers at the moment to be effective.
But if you like reading, try this: https://www.amazon.com/Shoot-Friends-Influence-People-Chopper/dp/0646154443
You see, sooner or later some nutter is going to try to save the environment by more drastic and violent means and WTF knows what will happen then.
Better a few protests I think.
