Cybersecurity has two sides: business and tech. It is invaluable to the business side, particularly in terms of making risks and threats legible, demanding mitigation and insurance strategies, compliance and certification. Cybersecurity on

I predicted your #1 was Jordan Peterson. Tony Robbins just made an appearance on Theo Von's podcast, This Past Weekend. I haven't watched it yet, but Theo is fantastic at getting his guests to open up. I am deeply skeptical of

The original owner of the car has some ability to refuse the repair job. It may be impossible to (economically) bring the car back to its previous state. The insurance company prefers not to take the risk. They write a clean check and re

The strokes have nothing to do with up and down (e.g. flat motors, like a boxer), but to do with compression and expansion. The direction of compression doesn't really matter aside from packaging concerns. As you said, 4 stroke has in

I used to be more strict about a 16 hour fasting window. Now I follow the spirit if not the letter of the law, mostly without trying. If I feel like I need to make serious diet changes, I can easily take it more seriously.

It is totally acceptable and normal (to me) for people to make decisions (and even agonize) over how to spend their own money.

When someone dies, that person may have a beneficiary, like a son inheriting his father's wealth. If you inherit his business as well, that is like inheriting the effect he had on the world. "Pulling the strings" is a puppet
