I took "macro collapse" to mean some tumultuous event independent of existing market valuations, such as natural (or man-made) disasters, epidemics, war, etc. I've never heard the term myself, so I am speculating.

It's a nuanced point. aros said some people believe Google is "nice" which isn't wrong in my experience. I didn't interpret aros' words to mean that people explicitly deny Google is a for-profit corp nor espous

I've heard folks say things to that effect. "Google is awesome. They have the best search and email and smartphone software. For free! And they're fighting corrupt ISPs!" It's nice when Google does things that benef

I'm fine with robots looking at my email too. I'm worried about the stories of people getting randomly locked out of their gmail though. My gmail powers nearly everything. It is responsible for pretty much all communications with all of my

I've accepted it as life. You are unlikely to realize how much or how little you've affected people on the other side of the world too. I mourn Schwartz's passing, but I am not at all surprised that someone great has passed away. On a plane

To be honest, I got it from Barack Obama's AMA on Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obam... , so the endorsement of the website comes from the POTUS himself.

>"people will feel more comfortable telling you the truth if you start by criticizing yourself, showing them that it’s OK." I disagree with this assertion. Some people criticize themselves in hopes that their listeners will contradict t

Your mention of unrealistic comparisons reminded me of the Dove evolution commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U The original question asked about whether a person can "play music" or "do ballet". I want to add "being beaut

It's tough to say. It partially depends on how you define the ability to play music. I definitely think that the average person can play notes on a piano given enough time for another average person to enjoy. On a person-to-person basis, we

I'm sure I'm just telling you things you already know, but I think it's worth reminding. When you want to try to understand the thought process behind someone's actions, put yourself in their shoes. Okay. So now you're an employee who has b

Sorry. Forcing myself to take a break is just like forcing myself to work. Something to be avoided. I think we are misinterpreting the Taoist concept of "do nothing" which I think inspires a lot of these sentiments that "we should take brea

If you hire someone, you are paying them to make you money, not necessarily to give full effort. If that employee is netting you a loss (don't forget opportunity cost) whether from incompetence and/or incompatibility, you let them go. Other
