Sounds like there's not much point in helping the poor, then, because they're just going to cock it up. I disagree - I think poor people are indeed capable of making good decisions and planning long-term - but what other point are

The travel you mention in the thread is more significant than anything else you've talked about in the post. A job with 75% travel basically puts the rest of your life on hold - significant other, relationships with friends, etc. It&#x

Oddly-toned press release considering they serve completely different audiences and markets - it's as if a product search engine started crowing that they're bigger than a flight search engine. Yes, Kickstarter and GoFundMe are bo

I've never understood why people treat meditation like they're cramming for finals, trying to fit as much as possible into a brief period. That's not going to help them incorporate it into their daily lives - if anything, it

When the other party controls Congress, presidential proposals without the active involvement of that other party aren't real and aren't intended to or expected to pass. This is just politics.

It's not the scarcity of the data that makes history subtle or interesting - after all, most periods and areas of study have a surfeit of data. Even when I was studying 17th century Russia, there were more primary source documents in t

I honestly haven't done the research to back up my assumption that the more left-leaning areas west of the Cascades are growing faster than the rest of the state, fueled by migrants from other left-leaning urban areas. It would be in

Politically, Washington is one of the more interesting places I've ever lived - there's a majority for Massachusetts-style spending, but there's also a majority for Texas-style taxation. Combine that with the voter initiative

Come on - this isn't Wikipedia, and not everything easily Google-able needs to have a citation. Anyhow, here's one result to get you started: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4043895

It's almost certainly to qualify for a Texas property tax break. All kinds of people in rural Texas grow some hay or keep a couple cows on their extra acreage to save on taxes.

Moving to and living in a foreign country is a really great learning experience, but don't kid yourself - the sheer amount of bureaucracy involved in these entrepreneur-importing schemes plus the overhead of adapting to a new culture m

Not sure if you're talking about scaling to a $10MM exit or $10MM in annual revenue or what exactly in 7-10 years, but that sounds to me like too little too long for a knowledgeable SaaS investor to invest in - they're looking for

Of course Title II isn't the only option. There's tons of other things the government could do, including writing completely new legislation - or, for that matter, doing absolutely nothing at all. I know many disagree, but I don&#

I hope the area of residence / years of experience / original offer / new offer / title bump have all been changed at least somewhat, because if not, the people who hired you could potentially see this and identify you -

Titles are tools, and you should use the right tool for the right job. Using the wrong tool at the wrong time makes you look like the tool, but in the right context they're useful. I've found that using the 'CEO' title

The American educational system needs to do a better job teaching financial literacy, it seems - and they need to start that education early, before irresponsible people like this one drop out of school in ninth grade.

We've done all this before - in the early 1990s, George HW Bush passed a 10% luxury tax on yachts, private planes, furs and a few other high-value items. Maybe expensive cars, I don't remember perfectly. The government figured the
