They've only really known oil for 3 generations, so yes. And they're also desperate. The future where the world doesn't need their oil (or they've run out) isn't a distant future anymore. It's coming, and comin

Timing is suspicious, Google is finally beginning the final phase of Play Music shutdown, which means Google Podcasts will be the new way to access podcasts. Because it makes a ton of sense to move music to YouTube music, but the podcasts t

Saw a big write-up somewhere about this. It's easy to learn the muscle memories for various patterns on a text only UI, and you can become extremely fast. But almost no one is fast with a mouse based GUI

Of course, but there are plenty more that only join in if it's easy, and reducing the easy of participation means you only have to think about the attention junkies.

I'm saying timebox discussion like anything else. Have discussions regularly, but in a scheduled manner. Meetings suck because people aren't prepared / the meeting isn't scoped or well defined. They don't suck "

Yeah, except it happens every other day and all you do is "revise the product" and never build or ship the product. It's a one way express train to feature creep. It often doesn't involve all of the stakeholders, so then

But the notion that I need to "drown the noise out" is wrong. Quiet should be the default state. If you want to be loud, go find a room where you can be, instead of forcing everyone else to block you out.

It is. Gets you out of your head, and having a dedicated "idea discussion time" means you have all week to think on and refine your ideas. Less wasted breath on half cooked BS.

It doesn't destroy value, it means your team over-scoped the deliverable value at the outset. Shipping dates are good when used correctly. 1. We have this high level idea, we want to ship it by XXXX 2. Here are the features we want it

The US at the federal level, maybe. But it'll likely just fracture into smaller regional Nations made up of the states. Worst case, it's 50 separate nations. Especially now that we'll likely see a shift back towards state lev

True, but figuring out how much of your bankroll you need to invest in a fund like this to properly hedge (that's why it's called a hedge fund) against catastrophic loss in your other investment is the balance you need to strike.

But there are always sudden drops eventually. Market crashes aren't "if" they're "when" People made huge money in '08 because they were betting the fail side of the CDOs. Small bleed for years, big win in

Yes, but the bleed is so slow that it's entirely covered by a single tail event. You can also hold other positions, this is just the fall back for when disaster inevitably strikes.

Fair, but a lot of them do sit on the bench and do some moderate walking at most. I'd expect people doing these regular sprints to be more aware of their body and move around more in anticipation of the next set.

Ah, the sprint is being rediscovered once again for it's ability to squeeze maximum effect into minimum working time. If you get a chance, try to find a copy of "A System of Multi-year Training in Weightlifting" by A.S. Medve

Since you're doing this every 12 minutes, you'd stay relatively warm all day. American football players don't need to warm up every time they come off the sidelines

Probably. But I think the body gets Abit tricked when the legs come into play in a locomotive fashion. Particular sprinting. It's primal.

Your warm-up accrues though. You're doing a little bit of exercise every 12 minutes for 8 hours. You're not going to get sick.

You won't be cold though, because you're doing 4sec of exercise 5 times an hour.
