There's a lot of really special places there! Tofino is high on my list of must-visits. Each time we get out to the Island we don't really make it to the western coast. The only time I've been was down near Port Renfrew. Next

But they do impose it. The 40-hour workweek was a hard fought-for standard. I would call anything above that standard as imposing. It's not a rare concept. It's why billing for overtime at an increased rate is common practice—beca

True, and early Christian cults were often mixed up in offshoots of the mysteries traditions as well. So while the article mixes up which storied tree that image is supposed to represent, there's a real question of whether or not the s

Are you sure it's that simple? Google was previously known in the wider world for imposing longer than average work days under the guise of "you love it here at the office we have pingpong and rock climbing". It wasn't

I've largely worked with Vue 2 in recent years over React. Primarily moved just to try and reduce front end bloat, and stuck because I preferred some of the patterns—personally I found them easier to reason around than some of the popu

I was just there for a couple of weeks visiting my partner’s family in Comox. Her mother was telling us a bit about the work in the estuary while we were there—just a bit of the background that the article covers. At low tide you could see

I didn't introduce the philosophical notions myself. The author makes plentiful use of them, but inaccurately. That's worse than not using them. It's like pasting rm -rf / in an article about Fun Bash Commands.

I think I would recommend reading about some of those philosophies you consider "dead wrong" and how they came to be. Once you start to understand how they were formed in the first place, I think you would be less ready to deride

The author is making a lot of assumptions about fundamental matters of philosophy and human psychology. For instance, before we escape the first phrase in the section you quoted the author assumed that hard work and adversity run contradict

Absolutely you can read it to death and still glean nothing from it. I don't know how many times I've had to reread, and I usually continue to do so. And to that end it takes more than just reading it, but if one wants to ask some

There's no question that there's some kind of vision involved, but what part of this is conceivably philanthropic? FB and Zuckerberg have an immediate vested interest in capturing the maximum of attention spans of these people.
