Narcissists are the greatest threat, with a few exceptions (I am careful who I label a narcissist. It's not because they are known to be tough boss that they have narcissistic personality disorder according to DSM-5). Anyway, they are

That story was written by someone at AP covering the tech industry. He has consistently showed terrible analytical acumen and reporting of major and minor events. http://bigstory.ap.org/content/michael-liedtke

I concur. My daily trip starts with the not so reliable and overcrowded commuter rail, with its spotty connection, so reading it is, (with my earbuds on, no music, because this thing is so noisy). I don't deal with the subway/bus

I wouldn't place Raleigh in the same league as NY, LA, SF, WDC, Chicago and Boston. These have 5-fold or more the population density than Raleigh. But the distance metric would stick: if you can leave ~7 miles (15 min) outside Raleigh

They certainly could have had the same success or even better, by taking a 10% vs 25% from the get go. I think it has more to do with the Uber management's vision of what that platform is. This has never been a platform to empower driv

And I would like to add that now is the time to buy within those metropolitan area, because they are expanding, so housing in the suburb is going up.

You would think that any bold/risky phenotypes would balance itself out: - On one side, maybe ADHD-types reproduce more or are better disposed to make sure their offsprings get to a reproductive stage (e.g. wealthy, due to a bold move

No this isn't. He should have spent 1.5 more months thinking about his experimental design. He doesn't even try to make the distinction between causality and coincidence. We could achieve the same conclusions by talking about soci

I think you may have the beginning of experimental setup to test the hypothesis that the value brought by a MBA is not different than zero.

That list is funny. My preferred line is the first one: "Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence". It applies to so many behaviors in various fields. Then there is one I am not sure I agree w

That article doesn't look at if or how a MBA brings value. It mainly points out that a MBA is not a differentiating factor in easily finding a high-paying job, unless it was acquired from a highly regarded MBA program anymore. The reas

Yep! But his is not like an autoimmune disorder (e.g. type 1 diabetes). It's more like an acquire disease (i.e. type 2 diabetes), for which we fully understand how to prevent and alleviate, but somehow do not implement the necessary me

Something being hard doesn't mean it is unpleasant. And the "pride in doing a job well" will not only be beneficial but also rewarding, which can increase happiness and lead to novelty. As an example, you may hold grudge abou

I think we are, maybe in a different way than mvdwood is suggesting. The way I see it is that, the same way one doesn't become asperger or autist, you don't become narcissist, your brain is wired that way, early on during its deve

Is someone trying to market mobile gaming as a therapeutic? It looks like it does the same thing than other click-fest-attention-grabbing games on mobile OS. The claim that as you progress you need to "multitask" more, seems famil

I find the analogy to VCs interesting. In term of investing your own money (as in investing in a fund), I have seen graphs showing that VCs have a pretty bad ROI, if not the worst This is partly attributed to highly subjective decisions fro

Amen to that! The other thing is that books don't have to teach you anything. it might just be to disconnect, open up your mind, see something in a different way. I would not necessarily call that "teaching". It can help with

I would disagree with it being impossible, especially in the drone delivery business. Definitely hard but not impossible. The drone leave a known location to go to another location using a direct path. It is a point A to point B algorithm.

It's not bad, but I feel it will be short lived. Like other pointed IC cards are standard in many countries and are coming to the US. Moreoever, I'd rather have my smartphone do it all, and by all I mean all: cc, id, insurances..
