Was about to post empathy myself. It's of very high importance on my list and it's incredible how early it can start to develop (see it in my toddler son already). Although I think in a normal loving household, empathy will probab

Completely agree. I love the idea, except the weekend part. Not only do I not want to do your coding puzzles over the weekend, it will also make me think that weekend work is a thing at your company.

I have nothing against co-sleeping, since it is great for attachment, which we are big on. I just couldn't do it from a practical perspective: it means one of the parents is going to bed at the same time as the kids, every single night

Here in Canada, prices are not cheap yet, but getting better slowly due to increasing competition. What I see is that the subsidized plan makes sense in the moment, in that it's the regular plan + the cost of the phone divided over 24

Yes, but locking you into a plan in a time when plan features and pricing are almost constantly improving.

That said, it still blows me away when I see my friends taking these "subsidies" without understanding that they are basically paying full price for the phone, if not more.

Isn't (3) what they've been trying to accomplish for years? I believe what you see now in LinkedIn is their best effort at tackling that problem (and I'm not impressed).

You may well be right. I guess we'll see how much of the MacBook Pro market is made up by actual professionals.

Mine was pristine. I'm pretty sure they replace the battery and the case (if need be), so it always appears new.

As a consultant (freelancer) myself, I was going to recommend that as the best way to gain maximum control over your terms of engagement, but based on your username, it seems like you've already figured that out :)

Workplace policies aren't only in place to create an equal playing field or a meritocracy, they also exist as a recruiting tool and to make companies attractive. A company with your preferred policies may be more attractive to a certai

Are you actually taking income out of this portfolio? I'm in my mid-thirties, so I invest in index funds, but any dividends are re-invested. It's not something I intend to touch until retirement or some extraordinary situation.

I agree it's not passive yet, but with a blog, he doesn't need to do much automation. Once the content is up, there will be a fairly long tail of visitors to whom the content is new. When I applied for my professional engineering

I remember reading on r/soccer that some real life transfers have happened in football partially motivated by scouting done in FM.

I would argue that it is flair, because it's a move you don't see on the pitch very often (and with good reason). It's almost always unnecessary and a way of saying "Hey, look at me!". Maybe you're saying it&#x

The only way I can see someone observing what you describe in FIFA 16 is if you're playing it without having taken the time to learn the controls. Can keepers kick the ball into the other half? Certainly. Some can even throw the ball

Not sure why you're getting down-voted. I think people are confusing "fun comes first" with winning not mattering at all. For young kids, the focus should be on fun (otherwise they won't play) and skills development (fun

I would recommend searching the r/FIFA subreddit. There is a ton of stuff on there that is childish (it is a game played mostly by kids after all), but every so often one of the better players will post a thorough guide on how to emula

What's the last FIFA you actually played? I mean none of the stuff you described has been in the game for at least 3 or 4 years.

> Their considerable amount of revenue comes from kids who loves to shoot, dribble, and do some skills without thinking about physical reality side of it. Actually it comes from kids who love to open packs of cards.

There have always been kids who wanted to play sports the fancy way, with flair, long before video games. Especially at the youth level, you'll just get a lot of kids who value creativity and self expression over what the most winning

I completely agree. It's something I consciously try to change within myself on a regular basis as a parent. My point being, it is a struggle and an understandable one. It's not as easy as saying "You're being a helicopt

I'm not saying kids can't handle it. My point was not that it's not entirely reasonable to expect parents of today to act in the same ways as their parents did when when they were growing up, because the world now looks a lot

Fair enough. I use Self Control and it works well for me. What features in Focus are the difference makers for you?

Whatever you do, don't go for an office that has a "noise suppression" system in it. A company that I used to work for has one, when I first joined I thought it was just a loud HVAC system (until I was informed what it really
