I am sure you believe management consultants provide value and drive changes that shore up flailing organizations. That might even be objectively true for a minority of cases. But having seen a few MBB engagements "deliver value"

By 2022 all Mercedes-Benz car lines will have electric or hybrid options available. Now that is not very catchy. The article itself does not do any better, seeming to suggest the demise of ice by 2022 while the actual announcement only pro

This is cool. I wonder if in addition to changing the current injection electrode, dynamically varying the resistance at the electrodes can help increase the resolution. Changing the resistance dynamically can change the current distributi

I am sorry but I cannot see how the power meter on a bicycle is "accurate" in this context. I am not trying to measure the part of the energy expended to run the cycle (which the power meter accurately measures) but the total ener

Lot of the comments talk about co-op as an alternative to whole foods. I live in Houston Texas. Other than " There in lies the problem" can some suggest a reasonable alternative for getting some good organic vegetables and fruits.

I don't really see why the whole foods hate is so hip. I shop there routinely and buy mostly the non packaged stuff. Organic vegetables and fruits are cheaper than in most chains and I really have not found any other place where I can

H1b is a dual intent visa. No crime in having immigration intent while on it.

I am sorry but your plan would result in people with preexisting conditions not being able to get coverage. The premium increase would make preexisting conditions insurance unaffordable for most people. Also realize that the system ends up

I am all for introducing things the correct way, but this example of yours just does not work for me. Fractions as equivalence classes? or as a solution to an equation. No. That might work for you. In fact I might even argue that it only wo

I have no idea why calculus gets such exalted status in the annals of highschool nightmares. No I am not bragging, humble or otherwise. I found calculus to be simple neat and logical, and not so mind bending. Linear algebra on the other han

Ok. Here is an article that claims something in the headline and then repeats it many times through out the text. In all that clutter and fear mongering; claims of how much worse things are in the american society, the proof is the new &quo

Does this mean insulin resistance can be partially mitigated by switching to glucose and avoiding fructose completely?

I have heard this Jobs bashing quite a few times and it has always left me confused. Here is what I know. Before iPhone I had a n-something phone from Nokia that in principle was a phone sized laptop. Yet, I never browsed on it unless I ha

This is what I do not understand. If you are so troubled by Hilary, then make a stand against her. If you think Trump is worse (I do) then vote against him in a way that counts; vote for Hilary. This is not an election to sit on the sidelin

Apparently they did make a polite request to the manager directly and was turned down. I missed that line somehow when I first read the article.. At that point they should have abandoned this cause. Instead they decided to hold everyone to

Is there possibly more to this story? As it stands it looks like the interns made a polite request and fired for it. I understand the "intern is a guest" argument, but he/she is also a future employee playing that part and wo

Point taken. But I guess it was the tone of the article with bullet point realizations that irked me. Either there are way too many millennials with blog posts filled with trivial philosophy pretending to be Kant's second coming or I a

I agree to what you are saying, to an extent. Yes I comparison shop when buying air tickets and buy the cheapest, because I am not aware of the environmental impact differences between airlines. While shopping for grocery on the other hand

I understand the economic reality (aka greed) that led to this. But if production was made local again, how does one handle the environmental impact? Or is there no way to make a durable good pair of jeans without destroying the environment

What is the purpose of the rolling tenure? If the finite length is meant to serve as a stick, I would argue that it is useless. People who do good fundamental research do it because there is nothing else that gives them the satisfaction. Ye

I am inclined to think all this is posturing. UBI has the potential to reduce the friction involved in changing jobs. This alone makes it unpalatable to the corporations. When corporations don't want this, they will lobby and scare peo

Open source hardly guarantees anything. Governments armed with everything under the sun can make the lives of privacy advocates a living hell. When I was younger (no kids) I could think of standing up against it if need be. Things have cha

While I agree that this premise may be true for many, it really depends on the individual. Also a distance MBA is not worth it, almost never. It looks like the author went into a poor program, ill prepared and had to drop out. Generally a

I think the researchers are seeing the effect of mindfulness in action. Changing the conditions forces the body/mind to not go on auto-pilot and focus on the minutiae of the task. Consequently they improve through this deliberate pract
