   I believe that there are great places to work (like the example you gave). What I tried to convey in the article is that this is not a result of HR departments sending out surveys and trying to "engage" people. It's a much mo

   I should have clarified this a bit more in my post. I think it's possible for people to perform at a high-level and be "engaged" at work, even if the company isn't constantly winning like the warriors. The only analogy I

   Good idea, I've also been hearing for a while that collaborative workspaces improve employee engagement, which is garbage.

   I built an app to help people take a digital detox ~ 3 years ago ( https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2015/01/12/need-unplug-... ) The biggest issue we ran into was that we didn't have API access to

    I've worked remotely for almost 7 years, for a few companies. Loneliness is a real thing, especially for people who are more outgoing/social. Here's what I've found works for me: 1. work at a coworking space/coffee

    Yup - I do believe that FB is severing their relationship with these data brokers shortly, so unsure if this will continue to be available.

    I did a similar process when house-shopping. Setup ads for a particular location, specifically targeting people who owned in the area, but who lived out of state. 1. Personal FB ad copy 2. Landing page w/ more information about what we

    These would be great questions to answer when creating an event invite. Would make a pretty useful chrome extension.

    It sounds like the meetings are compressed into the other two days of the week, which also sounds quite miserable. I'd love to see an app that analyzes the internal meetings that happen inside a company and flags the repeat offenders.

    A common theme with the self-driving car discussion is the potential to reshape cities. While I'm sure this will happen, I'd love to see thoughts/ideas on the impact in suburban & more remote areas. For example, will peop

    Yup - in addition, many take the winter off. It's hard work during the peak times of year, but I'd compare it to the schedule of a school teacher (~3 month break).

    I live in Maine. So far this year in Maine, the price is about 2x what it normally goes for. Locals say it's because there's such strong overseas demand (China, etc). The average price of a lobster roll I'd say is around $18.

    For me ( https://fridayfeedback.com ) it's been a mixture of outreach (sales), writing in-depth guides about topics that are interesting to the target market (managers). I've tested some ads, but no dice yet.
