Well, he actually calls things relating to those areas mentioned (arts, etc) as grey swans because they do happen, but you can't really predict which of the multitude of things coming out will become the next runaway success. Either w

The planes practically (can) fly themselves these days now anyway. Remove the ticket people, checking bags, food/drinks on the plane, and build a nice, efficient website for booking... Then structure your routes on flexible demand. A

Typically you aim for as much of the audible spectrum as possible with as flat of a response as possible... From there you adjust for personal listening preferences. Some cans tend to accentuate bass a bit, others mids or trebs. Flat head

Quality when applied to speakers and headphones is typically demonstrated by frequency response, with a perfectly flat response being the pinnacle. Headphones like Beats appeal to people who have only had bargain headphones (think a few bu

Bogle has a great book on how horrible hft is for our economy (well, he has several technically) called The Clash of Cultures... Reading it now and am fascinated. Could be that this is my first foray into learning about finance, but either

I'm not saying there's a fix for it... Or that it's even a broken system. I just, out of the kindness of my heart, wish a guy down on his luck could at least have some worry lifted off of him when his life is literally endin

Best of wishes to you. I hope you find peace and can really get the most out of what time you have left... And even more so, I hope your treatment is effective beyond belief and you beat this altogether.

It's sad that when we find out something this devastating (you're dying), that we have to spend our last weeks/months/years worrying about, of all things, money. Nobody deserves this sort of thing happening to them, and

I've read into Dave's stuff a bit, and it sounds like mostly bs to me, but I have heard good things about bulletproof coffee, though it's all been anecdotal. Do you really feel better drinking it, or is it just a nice way to

How is 1% of an employees time 4 hours/month? A month is typically 4 weeks(ish) at 40 hrs per week = 160 hours * .01 = 1.6 hrs? Am I missing something?

Need and use are VERY different. I work for a major sports site. I certainly don't need it, and I really don't even care about sports, but I do use it every day because it's nice to kinda know what's going on sometimes

I think the implication is that all the time girls spend watching "boys shows" is time they're not focusing on "girls shows", therefore they're losing those marketing minutes.
