My observation is that most monthly services are priced per year as a single purchase. To me it would make more sense to average that over 2 years. The big problem I see is people constantly clamoring for more, and non-converging, feature

Only took me 2 weeks of working in a kitchen to figure that out! Still chose the wrong major for me (physics), but it opened enough doors to have a sw dev career. What do you regret about the history degree? Job applicability or that it d

China is politically communist. Economically, they still want to make a lot of money, as cheaply as possible, without regard to regulations, be they intellectual property, ecological, or otherwise. However, I've read that they are taki

I agree. My daughter loves Spirit. OTOH, she also loves Disney's Elena of Avalor, which I think is exceptionally well done. The Disney stuff targeted at older kids seems pretty horrible to me.

Astronauts train for doing astronaut things like spacewalks and other zero-g activities. I would expect a tourist needs to demonstrate they have the fortitude to: 1. Not Die 2. (Possibly) not lose their shit (any definition) These can proba

I recommend story mapping[0..2]. It facilitates seeing your backlog across goals and activities, which may span projects. With a more focused backlog, you can then prioritize within specific scopes. The main downside is tooling. Unless you

There is a road on my way to work that has a darker asphalt line that goes diagonally across the road for about a quarter of a mile. Inevitably, I and others follow this line before realizing we are leaving our lane.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, while being pro legalization, they really need to ratchet down on how it happens and where it’s allowed. In Denver and other CO areas, it seems there are weed shops on every corner, and it reeks like tobacco, t
