Incidentally I have, sitting next to me, a freelance publishing contracts manager who works contract rights for Hachette and other big players. Anyway, the problem in the industry, from my point of view (very opinionated): - The market has-

Mm, "The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long" and all that. I suppose it is just a case of balance. I sure am on one end of the bell curve, apparently. People don't seem like risk takers and play it safe (fr

This interested me, as it would be a nice concept to build a manual around. On the face of it, it could have suited me ("What to push: Being helpful and engaging") But looking into it, I feel the writer has a more cynical worldvie

Thanks for clarifying and apologies for misunderstanding. I'm pro-sex-ed but not sure what that looks like in your locale.

You end up with a graph. Entities are the nodes, and the entity-relationships are the edges. An email is always a message, nothing more. Tasks, events etc. can be derived from it, but the email itself is not a task or event. This isn't

I'm not optimistic, no. Not sure what nation's syllabus you refer to though, I would guess that it is USA based (edited because my wording seemed weird and pointed)

OK thanks yes, that's the interpretation (/thing that undermines true selflessness) that I had (and had poorly worded in my comment). I suppose I thought I was missing something else that OP was implying.

You can 'turtles all the way down' it all you want (A god fearing person goes to heaven for selfish reasons, blah blah), but how is altruism a myth - Could you possibly elaborate? (TIA) Anyway, I do agree that altruism is arguably
