Somewhat regarding meeting length. I learned in Marine boot camp that if a group is asked, "any questions?" that first, you do not say, "No" because then anyone with a question can't be heard. Second, under virtua

Best sleep I had was on board ship. I think it was a matter of sleeping in a sleeping back in cot on a rocking ship that really did it. This was followed by 2 weeks of full blown insomnia after I got ashore where I experienced little to n

The military secret to falling asleep is to be exhausted. Ever since I was 13 I've been unable to fall asleep quickly except when exhausted or reading anything by the Bronte sisters. Possibly the most annoying thing about it is the abs

I tutored home schooled kids for years (and many other kids and college students as well). I'm sure some of it is selection bias of those who reach out to a tutor in the first place, but I strongly disagree that homeschooled kids are

A discussion I've never really seen take place is, "Why does law enforcement have a (prominent) seat at the table for which laws should be passed?" We in the US continually hear from the FBI and other agencies how they need t

Sure the government has gotten it wrong in the past. But this time we need more government because the right guys are in charge and it will work better this time. Promise.

And if they don't print it, they are covering up the ineffectiveness of the SEC's whistleblowing program. What exactly should they print?

The whole conversation is a lot easier if you just define Facebook as a monopoly. #1 is assuming the argument, really. #2 is stating that old law doesn't work and implying we need new law to let us do what we want...again, assuming the

I do this while freelancing/contracting as well. I have a macbook for client work only . While I don't have a one for each potential client, I do use a different user for each client, and all data should remain in user space --

Are you going to lose your shit, call my boss and try to get me fired when I call you Michael because it's what's written down for everyone to see?

Providing shelter to people is the least productive sector of the economy you could think of? Why would land owners get a bailout? Because they were mandated by the government to provide their services without payment.

Presumably the custom protocol would map well to at least one side of the API.

Nothing is being built from this. It is testimony on the quality of something else. People other than engineers get to have opinions on the validity of something. It is up to the opposition to discredit him. He has not practiced engineer

I would say most teachers pass students so hell doesn't rain down upon them in the form of administrators, parents, and the school district/city itself.

Police often have benefits packages that few would try to negotiate with a straight face. They typically have an excellent pension and full medical. They also typically rack up a lot of overtime. $67k/year isn't bad when your s

Not the same as punching someone in the face, but in my high school yearbook I signed something to everyone that got smaller until it was illegible. It turns out some people go back and read their yearbooks 20+ years later, ask me what I w

If the bill was $3500, the negotiated price for the insurance company was surely less than $1500. I had my appendix out, the bill was $20k, negotiated price picked up by insurance was $2000. Price transparency doesn't go far enough.

I guess the other big lesson beginners get is that the other person has a plan, too. Since everyone has all the information available, it lends itself to what you describe -- attack without weakening yourself. Or eventually allow weakness

While nothing to do with chess strategy, learning the game does provide lessons. Relying on yourself and your analysis. Playing the board and not the player. Playing the player when the board doesn't favor you. Playing solid princi

Audio is probably faster per person. However, it is serial in nature. I walk up to 4 kiosks and want a combo #3 with a coke, and I get to skip the three families, each trying to talk their 4 year old into choosing fruit and milk over frie

For all the conspiracy about Hilary, I believe her commodity trading stands out as confirmed. She traded for 10 months, making 100x and then stopped for some reason -- I guess they didn't like making money.

I believe the herding instinct was already there for the purpose of hunting. The hunting and kill has been bred out of them and the herding/separating remains.

Ethics required for a degree, sure. Ethics required for CS in particular, no. There is nothing special about a CS degree which requires an ethics course, and this is even if one conflates CS with software development.
