I think that's good advice if you're driven and want to get to the very top. I'm personally quite happy to have a moderately successful tech career then a moderately successful acting career, while having a moderately enjoyab

There's definitely a value to having those skills within tech. The flip side is that while I spend many hours pursuing acting outside of work, many of my peers instead work long hours or do loads of side projects. Early career theirs i

They do actually. It's part of why I also specialize in agile/operations stuff. You have a point. Tbh I might consider doing some of that work just for the experience, but I've also done a few odd jobs in the past that involv

That's definitely a factor, but I'd say acting has proportionately more luck involved that most professions. If you don't fit the looks that are in at the time the only real thing you can do is write your own roles. But that

This is why I entered tech first. I love acting and want to go drama school but after graduating a top uni with a Compsci degree it made far more sense to spend ~10 years working as an engineer first. I can save a ton, get into a good finan

I think the value of his work is in helping folk become aware of how much time they waste. You sound like you have a good grip on that already, so probably aren't the target audience.

I don't agree. I've not read the new one yet, but So Good They Can't Ignore You was brilliant. The 'fluff' was all the examples, and unlike many other writers (Ryan Holiday and Robert Greene are particularly bad for

This might be a stereotype, but certainly in my case, I hated team sports and strongly resented the way everyone presumed that I liked football cause I was a boy. The advice to find something they enjoy that shows progress is great (I did

The question is do those stats accurately take into account the non-reproductive spread of social progress. Non-religiosity, education, female rights etc are all increasing outside of reproduction. Islamic countries may be growing populatio

Landing a rocket on earth is technically a lot easier that making a self-driving car. The former is in a complex but reasonably well understood area of physics plus some advance manufacturing. The latter is cutting edge AI sitting in the mi

It matters in terms of internal opportunities to advance. Say your one of the first data science or product people in a fast growing company, that's a lot of potential opportunity for someone ambitious and self driven. It also matters

That's not true. Studies show that many pupils are better able to absorb information while doodling or by other repetitive actions. Many many famous authors have used long walks as a way to help themselves write.

There's plenty of evidence showing woman have different (and in many ways lower) standards for long term mating that short term mating. Which makes sense evolutionally.

What this article ignores is hedonistic adaptation. Only having a fancy latte every week or two will make it far more enjoyable. Having it every day will make you by and large indifferent. It's not just about saving money, it's ab

Even if most UGC on Facebook is benign, the system that uses it most certainly isn't. The data harvesting and addictive user design is actively harmful even if the content itself isn't.

In Scotland instead of banning then they added a 5p charge. It seems to have worked reasonably well though I've not seen any actual figures on usage.

Edinburgh City Centre. I was referring to the fees being such a large % of transactions. Both my properties cost 1-2% in total fees.

Why are the buying and selling costs so high?! Is that an American thing? In Scotland I only had solicitor fees and moving/furnishing costs.

You poor soul, come home! Joking aside it's still too early to see the effects of the new tenancy. I suspect it'll make properties harder to get for less attractive tenants and that there'll need to be incentives for landlord

This. Scotland recently introduced indefinite tenancies and I'm extremely interested as a young professional and investor to see the impact it has long term. Funnily enough Corbyn wants to introduce it in England and everyone is up in

The only reason the result wasn't chucked out due to fraud was that it was 'only' advisory. There are plenty of reasons to hold a second vote, beyond just I didn't like the first result.

I did 2.5 miles each way, mixture of up and downhill for school. As a late teen I cycled 10-15 miles each way up a massive hill, 2/3 times a week for amateur theatre rehearsals, on top of the walk to school/work. It was great for

I'm loudly anti-car and I live in Scotland. Honestly, when it comes to weather most people are pathetic. A bit of cold/rain won't kill you, just need gloves and a light waterproof later. I walked or cycled miles to school my
