Patterns on the window or the scourge of motorists: how two-dimensional ice grows

However, under certain circumstances, water vapor present in the air can immediately turn into a solid phase, […]

Paul Graham: "Replacing the corporate ladder"

August 2005 Thirty years ago you had to work your way up the corporate ladder. Now this is no longer considered a rule. Our generation wants to get paid in advanced positions.
