It always amazes me how many cyclists I see riding without helmets (and anecdotally they seem to be the ones who typically ride in a less safe/defensive manner as well). My wife works in healthcare and has worked in settings looking af

Wow, what a terrible experience. The evidence does seem to show that this guy was just trying to do the right job and do it ethically and he was basically tarred and feathered for doing so by his superiors, who are just a rung or two below

FYI, as the Wikipedia article linked on the site states, in some place (e.g. Canada), the term "Eskimo" is considered politically incorrect (along the same lines as "Indian" as a term for native Canadians or Americans).

Your post could have described me as well. The only thing I would add is that for me, in university, I did run into some friction about my choice, from time to time. You'll find that when people are young, making a choice to go against

Thank you for sharing. As an owner of a 2013 MBP (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD), I'm wondering what kind of specs are recommended for good performance with Parallels Desktop? I'm looking to be able to do development (e.g. Visual Studio).

I disagree with the premise that this line of thinking is somehow exclusive or original to tech CEO's though. At least in my own experience, most parents I know can afford tech, but limit it in some way. Unfettered access to tech for y
