   I actually had it assigned to me to read in college. Outstanding book.

   Thanks. I didn't intend a bad tone, but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

   Thanks, I thought so. But I always understood that to be in reference to the tech involved in the cash transaction. So if the article was about McDs getting a lower fee for electronic transactions, the POS makes total sense. But this is a

   It will be interesting to see if Taylor counter-sues, claiming "trade secrets."

   Service-Level agreement? Point of Sale? Piece of Shit? Point of Service? Not sure what you're talking about here, tbh.

   Which domain? bizworklife.com? It's up and running. EDIT: Certain countries may have difficulty accessing it, though.

   I think you've got the right idea here. Worksheets are key! I have something similar at bizworklife.com, but not focused on procrastination specifically (although it's covered in one of the lessons).

   Unless you just think of it like you are the person applying the "force" (to get something done), then the analogy is that you have to keep applying it but less once you get into motion.

   That essence is what Bruce Lee espoused as well, from what I've read. Apparently that's what got him into trouble with the traditional "elder" practitioners.

    It's interesting how the Surfside condo collapse looked like a controlled demolition too. It wasn't, though. I think it's just how buildings are built to collapse, and they down that way regardless of cause.

    I think you're on to something here. I'm struggling to articulate that somehow this essay addresses, albeit well, the low-hanging fruit of working hard, at least in the move-the-world-forward sense than this is written (he&#x27

    I think you can view money not as the end goal, but as the means to accomplish your goal. If I have a goal to help people become educated, I use business as a way to organize resources (including people) to accomplish the goal. Money is n

    Totally agree. I think a lot of the "evil" that happens in business is done by well-intended people who make incremental decisions while trying to compete. Some of them probably make decisions they don't like, but because i

    College students can now make sure that I am adequately fact-checked if I err from the path of truth. I don't think they are "making sure" as in "enforcing." It sounds like they are observing and reporting, hopef

    Yeah but sometimes when the pain in my arm causes me to wake at night I don't really give a darn what anybody else is feeling. I just want the pain in my arm to stop.

    This seems quite plausible- moreso than using the first two letters of "Not."

    Kinda like when Steve Jobs downplayed concerns about the 30% cut from the app store by saying it's not important because everybody is using web apps anyway?

    No, I think he's right. A chocolate cake may be tempting to you but not to me.

    I don't see how fixing a flag would be too much work. What I do see is having to deal with customer support when somebody comes in and says, "Matomo says you are charging me for clicks that I'm not getting." That cou

    Maybe it's just me but I can't trust Chrome with my passwords anyway. It seems like every update they wipe out the store. So I only use Chrome for GSuite (or whatever they call it now). And, of course, I have to use a pw I can

    My wife and I are no strangers to "buying" on-demand movies we enjoy. But our experience with Verizon FIOS is that every couple of months those titles "aren't available." Our "Purchased" area is empty. L

    Agreed, if by "helpful" you mean "painful but necessary because the asshole that wrote it didn't put a unique class on the main target of the div." But nesting doesn't necessarily imply long selectors, if done

    I see. That just goes against the way I naturally think, unfortunately— which is why I thought SASS was such a great breakthrough. I do understand it, though, because when I want to modify something in some over-written hunk of garbage CS
