It’s a failure of the American people, not those who wanted empire in the Middle East and stoked it. The public can be manipulated into absolutely anything. I wouldn’t mind if “Never Forget” were replaced with “let’s keep our heads here”.

I found it really fluctuates based on the team members. We definitely had 3x 4x differences in productivity between the worst and best on the team. Our estimates had to be good as it determined the size of the sales deal. Most everyone on t

Who cares about space? It's one of those things politicians trot out that captures the imagination of the masses. We have serious problems here on earth, most caused by the problems in the human psyche. In here, not out there. The argu

It’s really to generate some excitement for OEM PC sales. 10 being the last version with Windows update is a viable way to go, but you get none of the annual “get people excited” event apple has capitalized on so well.

You're basically paying the SE tax in order to be independent, but the Solo 401k higher contributions and all the write-offs are major offsets to that. Check into short-term health plans if you don't use much healthcare - esp if y

Watch out for the fastest Samsung and WD drives. You want to find TB written (TBW) rating for the drive, which is in the specs but takes a little digging usually to find. Consumer models will often have about 300-600 TBW of life. Data Cente

Pretty easily solved imo by ending the warranty on the rated TB written (they all have ratings for this and they vary wildly - faster drives can have 1/10th the endurance of others) - in addition to the time limit. I do have a problem

Absolutely can be done. I think there’s a kind of brain well suited to it cause some people just seem to ‘get it’ and some don’t. Don’t worry about that tho I’ve worked with many people that don’t fully get it and remain employed. Worth try
