I don't use DSC but the value they provide is that you always have a razor. A lot of people have to shave for work and forgetting to buy razors at the store sucks. It means you have to shave with an old, dull razor. They charge you to

I wouldn't worry too much about the language, try to link it to something they enjoy. If your son enjoys video games teach them javascript/html5 and let them build in-browser games they can easily show off to their friends. If you

I've thought about writing a new Linkedin for years too. It's the curse of the engineer: you use something that sucks and you want to make a better one. But when thinking about a new Linkedin, I feel like making a new social netwo

But your company is smaller. I work for a company smaller still and the amount of dumb bureaucracy is even less than yours probably. Also, culturally the aerospace industry is very rule and procedure heavy, for good reason.

This is pretty much exactly my review. A couple things I'd add is that being completely wireless is pretty amazing. Having no trackers to set up or tower to connect it to is also pretty amazing. Turn it on and it just works in any room

In general, diversity of skin color, ethnicity, gender, etc is a good proxy for diversity of thought and easier to measure/quantify too. That's why many business leaders who are focused on providing value and making money care abo

The idea that a whiteboard interview is "objective" while discussing ones experience on previous projects is not is absurd.

Lets change the question to "how do I want to spend this money?". It sounds like you don't know, since you're unsure how you want to spend this time. If I were in your situation, I'd bank the money until I was certa

The weather isn't that bad here. It's overcast a lot and there are a lot of "rainy" days but it's usually a light mist or sprinkle. It rarely drops below freezing in the winter and the summers, while short, have lon

Do you think maybe grieving families have different priorities than selling off assets right away? Or maybe they're trying to sort out among themselves who is in charge of making payments? Or maybe they can't afford payments becau

I think larger mass stars tend to burn their fuel more quickly and thus die faster. Then again it's a large, weird universe out there. I'm sure a star orbiting an lower mass black hole has happened at least once.

So we pick and choose our battles. This is the world libertarians supposedly want. Cake shops and social media companies are free to employ bigots, and the rest of us are free to refuse to do business with them, work for them, etc.

You assert that there's more similarity between American and Australian culture than American and Mexican. I don't believe that. US cuisine borrows more heavily from Mexico than Australia. We have more Spanish speakers than Spain

Women and minorities have no obligation to enrich someone working against their interests. The only "silencing" going on is the universal desire to not work for a jerk.

"All kinds of diversity" sounds a lot to me like "all lives matter". You can't have racial and gender diversity while keeping racists and misogynists at the top of your company. Why would you want to work for someon

Is there a distinction between "a no cold-call agreement" and "wage fixing" that I'm not aware of? This sounds a bit like "I didn't commit assault I only hit him".
