   Carlsen came to play an exhibition at my previous company. He played against 8 players simultaneously. Two had been chess-club players and competitively ranked. One employee played Carlsen to a draw. This earned several gasps from his handl

   Tesla and Musk masterfully executed this deal. They used competition, timing, threats, promises, misdirection, PR, and showmanship to unbalance state governments and bend them to their will. Companies that can execute on this level have a h

   I don't think impersonation of a reporter would ever be considered illegal (as opposed to say impersonating a police officer). In the best/worst case, the evidence obtained would be deemed inadmissible. Once that happened, the FBI

   I had the distinct privilege of studying law under Wayne LaFave, author of the treatise on criminal procedure. When I read the headline, it brought me back to my first year in law school and the discussions professor LaFave kindled around t

   Same. I had an inbox zero policy before that was a thing. It's the only sane way to deal with email. Count today: ~100 work emails. Most take less than a second of time. Some, require <1 minute to reply. The outliers are the ones th

   One thing I've learned is that the sales process is a continuum. Things that work well in multi-million dollar deals are totally inappropriate in sub 5k deals. The trick is getting the right amount of "touch" for the right ty

    Read Lean Analytics: http://leananalyticsbook.com/ It mentions the OMTM, One Metric That Matters. When you focus your effort to one number, things get much better.

    Openstack is struggling and this acquisition is a huge shot in the arm for Eucalyptus. I think he did quite well.

    I would and I do judge on this single episode. In my opinion, this type of behavior is abusive. I can understand why a recruiter might take the company's side.

    OP said he wanted an open source solution. Other than that, I can find no faults in using Evernote for this purpose. I use it for my personal stuff. Where Evernote falls down, and this is by design according to CEO Phil Libin, is in sharing

    We used something similar for Puppet: https://github.com/TomPoulton/hiera-eyaml Really neat thing was that you could inline encrypt just the secretes making the rest of the Puppet module viewable and comprehensible.

    NPR covered this military surplus program. The most frightening fact was the typical local law enforcement agencies must agree to "use it or lose it" with the acceptance of the gear. This sets up a perverse incentive and encourage

    This was the point I was going to make. Even in this most recent world cup, we saw plenty of outright misses by shooters. Better to put it on frame and force the keeper to a save then to risk missing outright.

    First you'd have to practice enough kicks to be equally good at each side. Most shooters have a preferred side of the goal.

    Nice work. Love that streisand leverages ansible. One thought, you ask for AWS credentials. Mine are already stored in ~/.aws/config for use in the official aws cli which I think I recall wraps boto. It would be nice if the streis

    The upsetting thing to me is not that the networks make money. That's fine. It is that they have stymied growth of our economy in favor of milking as much money as they can. According to Ookla, US: 25.9 Mbps South Korea: 54 Mpbs Nether

    Great idea and pretty decent initial offering. The price is low . Consider doubling it right away. (Sorry, but I want this to succeed).
