   > Who says you can't discuss options openly with doctor B? Exactly. In my case doctor B once took 30min to explain something I didn't understand, he also grabbed some books for it.. without charging me. One part is true, I can&

   I live in a small village and whe have two doctors. After visiting doctor A you'll leave with a bag of drugs, doctor B will not give you anything more than you need, even if you ask for it. The crazy part is people prefer doctor A..

   After you added your app on itunesconnect you can upload the binary. You need "application loader" for that. I haven't found another way, but would be very pleased if there is one.

   Just finished my first phonegap 3 app. I used kendo mobile for the ui, performance is pretty nice. It's not free but saved me probably days.

    It's pretty easy to search for these arguments? "in particular why having the execs paid by a different company wouldn't work" this would work. you could just launch a new company with only the ones earning the top sala

    I can tell you this will get like 80% no votes. We voted two years ago if we want 6 weeks of vacations instead of 4 resulting in 66% no votes. Swiss people like to work. We are raised with the believe that work is our strongest asset. I tal

    I'm from switzerland. We voted yes this year on the "restrictions on fat cat salaries" [1]. And this was a try to hop on the train on people's currently antipathy regarding some top executives in our country. But there a

    Good question. I once saw a documentary about this topic. They pointed out a lot of the kids went to school without breakfast at home, because their parents were poor. After implementing a sponsored breakfast at school grades improved a lot

    Sometimes I would really like to turn my internet connection off to get things done, but as a web developer it's quite impossible. A few weeks ago I had no internet at home. It was great. Not having the possibility and not using it are

    The last time I talked with 5 potential customers they all agreed that my idea would really fit their needs but they can't see how this ever would work. Explaining to them couldn't change their mind.. I like your approach, but som

    The prefrontal cortex regulates the three challenges "I will not", "I will" and "I want". These three challenges cost energy everytime we make it. That is what we call willpower. And almost everything you do ne

    "If we use up our willpower resisting one temptation we will have less in reserve to resist the next. That’s a big deal because you don’t want to use up all of your willpower resisting a cupcake.." That is true, but also you can&#

    We have about 3% unemployment rate in Switzerland. You have to know something about us, we love to work. Why? Because we are raised with the thought that's our strongest asset. Pretty small country with zero resources. Last year we vot

    I always walk in with this in mind: "Let's see if I want to work here". At the point where I'm really convinced and want to work there I get a little nervous ;) I also insist on doing some work there, to prove myself of
