The most interesting part for me is how they position themselves. They are essentially aiming at the things people hate about their competitors and that their competitor can't easily change. Ads, design for addiction/engagement, b

Nurses also have this problem. On a busy floor, they rarely get to use their breaks or have to quickly scarf down some food and run back.

One thing I did in school was sleep early and wake up early to study before the exam. I wonder if that was actually effective or not.

Was D-day really deemed a success? Yes we succeeded in establishing a beachhead but wasn't the human cost much higher than anticipated? I'm honestly curious and don't know, would love to read more on that topic if anyone has

I remember one of my first jobs, I was in this super boring call center job and I installed this on my computer (around 2006), it really help pass the time and I could pull my attention away at any time. Wow what a nostalgic trip, thanks fo

You can do this with Tiller ( https://www.tillerhq.com/ ), it pulls it down for you. Also when trying to remember the tiller app, I found that Excel now has this as part of office 365 https://www.theverge.com/

I was a first time author and they were a big publisher, should have pushed back on it. Mentally it knocked me off my horse for a bit in making good progress on the book.

Link isn't working but Selzered's link does. What is interesting is that graph half way down: in 2010 the software cost of the car was 35% and they project by 2030 it will make up 50% the cost of the car. As a consumer, I don&#x27

I wish they would number these or following a naming convention that has that info integrated. For those curious here are the rovers we have sent to Mars: Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance.

Came here to say this. They got in big trouble when this came out last year and they had to make it at least findable. I'm sure its still terrible but this info is a little out of date.
