The feeling that a single actual example would make the whole thing a million times clearer. Sometimes there's also an `info` file with more detail. And one of my pet peeves. Do a search "How to briwyw the gomleqq" and the f

Best product managers seem to have one foot still in the user community. This is more common for internal applications, where you have a PM and likely one or more actual users involved in the project. That means when there is a new requirem

The great psychologist Eric Berne distinguished between a victim, someone who has a misfortune befall them, and a Victim, someone who's life position is to feel like a victim. Unfortunately if one is a victim too often, too many bad th

Worth mentioning, some knots work well with hemp or other vegetable fiber ropes, but not nylon, because it is too smooth to hold them.

Of course that's not really true. The origin of the story is that so many papers were published by Hardy and Littlewood, that an Indian mathematician thought that Littlewood was a pseudonym that Hardy used for his inferior work. Littl

Attributing "young man's game" to G. H. Hardy, he'd had a heart attack the year before he published A Mathematician's Apology , and by all accounts, had lost much of his drive and energy. The whole book has somethi

There was some charitable support at times in history. In the Middle Ages, monasteries often had healing clinics and hospitals, though the hospitals were for the dying, usually. And sometimes food for people in want. Of course, in the Midd

Someone from the Roman Empire would have had a good understanding of the world in 1750. Ocean travel better, some advances in building large buildings, otherwise not that different. In 1900? Quite a bit has changed. The general shape of d

Regulated utilities, for example, are under constant scrutiny to be sure that they are allocating costs appropriately, and that any subsidies conform to public policy. Somehow the medical industry has so far largely avoided such oversight.

The cost accounting for most hospitals is totally opaque. How do you assign overhead to each activity? Does the ER make or lose money? How much of a nurse's time to give patient a Tylenol? Zero? Five minutes? And how much does tha

Dentists can usually give precise charges. Kaiser Permanente usually has a precise copay for just about anything they do. So you have a good idea what the charges will be going in. And nothing like an extra $10,000 because one of the surg
