I lost $30,000 in two weeks trading options and futures. It seems like a considerable amount but that account was started only a couple months prior with $5000. For me it was fantastic and extremely depressing all at the same time. Unlik

I went to several nutritionists with a similar quest after watching a video that explained all foods only have 7 things in them. It was money poorley spent. None of them could answer my simple questions. And all of them wanted to develop

I don't think you have to be an engineer to lead but I do think the leader needs to see the vision/goal to properly communicate it to the engineers who make it happen.

And in the upgraded version you can host it on server so you can share it with team members......plus it has a client side to show customers mock ups and such. Although you can add screen shots to the requirements in the free version.

Get your boss a free copy of Visual Use Case. He can write requirements, user stories, list actors, etc and it will automagically spit out UML chart that you can use to visualize the flow when you code. You can get an upgrade to TopTeam A

I did miss his point. Best I could tell he didn't have one. So to me his comment had zero value. Do you think it should be down voted because it has no value to me even though it may have value to you?

Just because someone doesn't understand your post and downvotes it is no reason to have to explain. Some people have less than a cup half empty, they have it turned upside down. +1 to you.

He is trying to tell him not to give up. That you can fail your way to success. Can't you see that?

DON'T TAKE THE DEAL. The only reason some company would want to acquire you is because it must have accretion value. Why don't you see if you can turn them into your biggest customer?? Stick with it, don't quit, you are t

Too emotional? Emotions are thee only thing humans base decisions on, it's either pain or pleasure, which ever is stronger in the mind. And this guy didn't get punched in the face, I think you want him to fail.

I'm in the United States. I own a small business and have been self employed in some fashion for about 20 years. My goals I would really only want to speak to the mentor about.

Ask for a raise, it will tell you straight away if they think you're contributions are replaceable. If you get the raise then you can keep on being the MVP and make yourself even more valuable.

The easiest way to find the right person is to call and ask. Even better if you can find out who his/her boss is and then mention to your target that so-and-so told me I should contact you about a position.....see what I did there :-)

How do I get a ride to the hospital with no cars and streets covered with tables? I would invest in real estate in a city with high demand and finite footprint but I would probably not live there. I think you may also find that government

Here is my take: Crypto (pick your favorite hash) is used more as a study of supply/demand than a currency. I considered mining and buying a bunch of ANT machines. I also think that the lure of bitcoin was the fact that there would o
