Then you make sure that the person who is the janitor actually wants to be doing that and is given the resources to be able to be the best janitor he can be. There seems to be an assumption that everybody wants to be the captain of the ship

So what is the average number of days holiday for an American full-time worker? Is anybody aware of any studies that compare hours worked per year against life expectancy? Is this valid: https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/

Maybe a more accurate description of Australia is that it can be free, but you may have to wait for a dr appointment. Or you can go to one of the non bulk-billing doctors and a nice lounge to sit on whilst you wait. Generally necessary pat

That is the problem. Indeed unless you plan on doing the job properly I would question the value of even trying. It requires a strong sense of purpose and a full communication with the public on what is being attempted. The good thing is

The experience in Melbourne (Victoria Australia) has been interesting. They locked down for a number of months and have got effective control of the virus, with 9 days no infection so far since lifting movement restrictions. There has bee

The point of politicians and especially leaders is that they are supposed to represent a group of people, and represent their best interests, not their own. If you just want to boost your own interests, then go into business and leave publ

I've always wondered if the mythical 10x engineer is actually 10x as good at doing their job, or 10x as good at self promotion.

The problem we had to get over pretty quickly was the embarrassment of admitting that you didn't know something. We set up a channel with everybody where if you had an issue, or a dumb question you could just put it out there. The mo

Interestingly enough, I find were having more of these conversations working remotely than we did in the office. I think part of it is that using MS Teams other people are a lot more accessible, just drop into the chat and leave a message.

Thank you, that is one of the clearest descriptions of the events leading up to this that I've seen. On the surface it seems to be blatant provocation on the part of Epic the outcome of which should have been no surprise to anyone. If

I do understand your feelings of a responsibility to be up to date on news, especially when it is regarding political events. It's easy to get the facts from a report on the weather, a tornado devastated a town, you know this is true

I think the point is that you can be whatever you want. It's a change from being forced to do something just to pay the bills to doing what you want because you want to do it due to personal interest. It seems to me that many people

I think the problem is that for a significant proportion of the US population, it appears that they don't have a "Pretty good life" and the fact that you can even say this shows you are not paying attention. From what I am le

This is my problem with the app. The only reason I'm going to be in public for a 15 minute period at the moment is either being on or waiting for public transport or eating in a food court. In those cases I'm going to be using m

There does seem to be some secondary spread in Australia however this seems to be from close contact with people who have been overseas. We are a little late to the game having established effective screening and information sharing early

Nope. Medical staff effectively saying you must feed your baby now or it will die three hours after it was born and after a 24 hour labour tends to focus your mind and scare the crap out of you. There is just as much unsubstantiated fear g

That's interesting. In Australia, if you happen to use Telstra 4G (the only provider that is reliable for most of the country) I've found that speed in remote towns can be a lot faster than in any of the capital cities. It's

And in the remainder of the world this has already happened. In Australia you are lucky to find a bank with real people working in it, they have mostly been replaced by Automatic Teller Machines (ATM's) and if you do, they will normall

I think you are so right. Society seems to think that how children turn out is fully the result of the actions of parents. Whilst this is correct to some extent, in most cases from the early teens children are distinct individuals who will

I think this has very little to do with some "decline of the family" whatever that means and more to do with the dilution of social norms. In the past it was expected that people would attend the local church/sports club&#x2F
