Exactly how much justice was there in Aaron's not having followed the unjust laws? He was a kind, brilliant person, barely out of childhood, and his life has come to an end. I admire what he did and I find the way he was treated crimin

The British might work differently, but the things you describe sound like US Army marketing materials and things that our officers say without intending to implement or follow up on. There are good commands that might be better than averag

There are people that can accomplish most tasks after having been shown once, but for some reason can't perform on texts or written assignments. Going back to the military, in the course for my technical role, we had a guy that barely

Get all of your technical leadership to talk about what the future of the company should be. Talk to candidates about where they think the industry is headed. Find a good fit. I'm not sure what you should ask to determine competence at

Four Hour Work Week. Guy spends endless amounts of time bragging about his life and how any time he tries anything for the first time ever he's magically the best in the world at it. It reads like one of those late-nite TV ads they use

I know it hurts to hear it. You may have decided you'd rather have a relationship with your family than equity, but what kind of family are they if they would effectively steal from their own kid?

I live in the rural South and although it may sound ridiculous to you, I've met more people here that believe all of the inflammatory, fake nonsense they read on FB than I have that don't. They use it as a primary source of news a

I suspect that you're right about being able to teach analytic thinking better if we designed a cirriculum around things more directly relevant to that. However, liberal arts schools that follow the classical philosophy don't just

I went to a concert in Mannheim about 8 years ago. They had quite a few fairly reasonable rules, but they also had security guards to enforce them. If you broke any of the rules and refused to get your shit together they would pick your as

Most don't, but some do. However, (and I think this is pretty obvious) the point is that shooting for 90k to start in an incredibly high-cost area, for a difficult specialization in a field that's in super-high demand and that has

I work on a team that lost about 66% of its members in the last year and a half. Every single one of them liked our manager, but the way the organization works at a higher level was making everyone's life miserable. People absolutely l

I preordered it so its sitting on my desk. Just trying to find time to read it. After skimming through it, I suspect it will address a few aspects, but the overall goal of the book is so different it likely won't address most of them.
