Really it's pretty much anything. Every case is different and in the law there is no black and white, meaning nothing is simple. Take this scenario, you have a dispute with a lawyer and they draft a legal document with certain statem

My mom was an attorney. A really sound piece of advice she gave me was, "Never get into a legal battle with a lawyer. You can't win." What she was saying was that an attorney can essentially sue you for free. (Ok not totall

I would guess that since the other is a Star Wars reference Dilithium is meant to be Star Trek. It follows the pattern, and Dilithium is a famous reference for those who follow Star Trek.

"Funny" enough, my family had a similar experience. My parents owned a 1984 Ford conversion van. On a family road trip, a squirrel got up into the engine and built a nest or something around the component which was used to contr

The Laguiole flatware is beautiful. It is a true mark of craftsmanship, and it is priced as such. As much as I appreciate their elegance, I don't need a $100 spoon to eat my cornflakes in the morning. We tolerate less poor design, bec

I don't know if it's still a crisis, but I think America is saying it isn't, because it's tired of the fight. No matter which side you're on (real or not, overblown or not, etc.), America has been at war with itself

There is no list. It's not possible to say, "I know these 5 things, and they'll make me more productive." Feynman solved all his physics problems with Calculus. That's it. One tool. Part of is is knowing your t

There are several interesting studies on colleges, their ranking, and the outcomes of individuals. It's really well outlined in the book "David and Goliath" by Malcom Gladwell. Top schools don't necessarily increase yo

The fastest way is to make more money. You'll probably need to switch jobs. Barring that, you need to look at your expenses. Do you have credit card debt? Start paying that off as fast as you can. Then start paying off the lower i

That's exactly my point. There are very few people that are real experts, people that can see code and reason everything in their heads with little or no help. There really aren't any. Everyone thinks they are, but they aren&#x2

I always say that Types are not there for the truly expert programmer. They are there for the rest of us. It's a lot easier to pick up code and understand it when you at least have an inkling as to what a variable or parameters needs

About 20 years ago I listened to a photographer talk about his photos of a community hospital. Someone asked him why did he chose this as the work he wanted to pursue. He said (paraphrasing), "When I really want to find out about som

It depends on how far out you are. Finishing what you start is always a "good" sign. That's what a lot of people look for. With the OP, he's 4 months away from finishing his degree. In the grand scheme of life, that&#x2

I really think this is because of the way companies act and not the fault of any technology. We work in a field where companies really believe they should try for the cheapest labor possible without thinking about the consequences. When w

Which is funny because the first job, at least when I went to npse.org, was "software engineer" at Google. The job description says nothing about actually needing and engineering degree. (There's a Senior Software Engineer

This is just wrong. I have a degree in Psychology and went into tech in the mid 90's. I had to learn everything on my own. Is it possible? Of course it is. But the amount of stuff I had to learn on my own was incredible. It is ea

My bad. You are correct. I misspoke. What I meant to say that at times generics (and similar drugs, but not generics) won't work as well as the original drug. Not always, but sometimes they just aren't effective in certain cir

It's because a lot of times the doctors know it isn't going to work on the outset. A number of generics don't work exactly the same. You're punishing the patient and questioning the expert simply for the fact that the

Our standups are great for us but not for the reasons it should be. My team keeps itself up to date with constant communication. Not bothersome communication, people "go dark" when they need to, but we make sure to communicate.

A good friend of mine is a Roblox developer. He said the problem is the exact opposite. The first game he created was one he would want to play and got feedback that the game is too complicated for people who play Roblox and to make it ea

Public service used to be thought of as a sacrifice for the good of all people. For many people it is. Teachers, social workers, public defenders, armed service people. All of these people make a pittance compared to what they could in t

When he says bury what he means is that no one can use it to build something. The company just holds it to prevent everyone else from using the idea.

Better prepared I would say. There are plenty of kids that don't get the opportunity to show how smart they are. They grow up in the projects, have to work nights to help their family, some have to join gangs to survive. You swap the

Kind of old school, but if you were going to give out usb drives at a trade show with a demo/app/video of some sort on it. A lot of rural America doesn't have fast broadband, so this would make it easy to distribute somethin

No, you're absolutely right. There are a number of people who are phenomenal at what they do, and balance their personal lives as well. edit: I would say some (not a lot) great people. I really do think it is an exception, but they a

Years ago I watched a documentary on the World Series of Poker. They asked one of the top players if he was a gambling addict. His response was essentially, "To reach our level of play, you pretty much have to be." This is true
