   I adore the opening shots of Jurassic Park. If you recall, the opening scene has a dinosaur being transferred from a container to a pen. If you haven't seen it for a while, you might remember seeing the attack. I know I did. But go bac

   Before you pay for boosts on a dating app, pay for good pictures. Here is what a man seeking woman profile needs: 1. Good Pictures. Honest. Good lighting. Appropriate grooming and attire (whatever than means in your social context). Smile i

   Yup. I have not experienced anything nearly this serious with a CEO, but I have had company leadership say and do very stupid things that reduced my focus on the corporate mission. Fortunately, they do still occasionally provide me with int

   Unfortunately, it appears that the universe does not care very much about human satisfaction. Fortunately, other humans do.

    Yup, and this was the original dream of Theranos - lots of measurements, lots of data. It's a nice dream, shame about the lies though.

    Some assumptions are so obvious no one bothers to state them, or even remember them. Assumption: Medical professionals are trained to use Evidence Based Medicine (EBM). One might assume that EBM means something specific, and I'm sure i

    Ok, but why stop here? You've effectively created a rotary potentiometer in one dimension, you could add two more dimensions like an analog thumbstick on a game controller. Do any controllers have a twistable thumbstick? Also, like oth
