perhaps this is an evolutionary advantage for humans to perceive themselves as good at things they do even if they are average or worse. It provides motivation, confidence, and enhances risk appetite. All necessarily attributes for a long t

Solid (positive) review. I too have read Lean In and recommend it to the men as much (if not more) than women I work with. I take some issues to some of Sandberg's arguments but the book is tremendous overall. Has changed my attitude consid

specifically the tone of the overall post and the lack of fact citing for his policy recommendations. Why the 1 quart rule? Why not 2 quarts? 3 quarts? ... I am in 100% agreement that the TSA's policies are mostly erroneous and devoid of lo

While I agree with your arguments and grievances I disagree with your methods. Too adversarial. Just an opinion.

while it is true we have come up with ingenious ways to "obligate" money, these constructs have arisen from a want from consumers...a person in the US chooses to sign up for a 30 year mortgage because he/she values owning a home. Venture Ca

sure that is an ancillary function for any HR department. However companies are not leveraging HR as a business discriminator like they should be....especially services and tech businesses (with notable exceptions like starbucks)

It simply amazes me how many companies do not invest in rock star HR departments. Most HR departments are paper pushers and tell people to not take any risks whatsoever. A totally stagnant way to do business.

Mandiant (and other similar companies) are already under significant fire from foreign hackers. The defense industrial base has pretty significant Advanced Persistent Threat identification, tracking, and mitigating capabilities.

This is where economics can become an art. Extremely successful people tend to work for passion more than money. A progressive tax system would not lower output in this case. Think Warren Buffet. There is a swath of upper income folks who c

Not a very interesting graphic with obvious deficiencies (e.g. not comparing defense spending to GDP). Why do we spend money on Defense? The first answer would be to protect stuff we have (hence my compare against GDP example above) but tha

I am a bit confused at your statement..."little they can buy for it". Your post highlights lots of technology that is being used, just perhaps it is either not necessary or the wrong use of force. Two very different statements. I think your
