I still value my subscription to The Economist, and Financial Times. A bit pricy but I feel caught up and the content is minimal compared to something like WSJ that is overwhelming with content I do not want to look at. I look at the price

Splunk was so expensive we could not use it to monitor our servers used for weather modeling. Seriously. The log files generated were at times too voluminous and you frequently blew thru your bandwidth cap. Great product, but completely u

Hard to beat FT and The Economist, gets to the point quickly. I do not like the weekend section in FT about "how to spend it" The WSJ is too heavy, takes too much time to read and overwhelming. Barrons is not the publication it

This happened in ~1993. Crazy. People flew from Salinas to Monterey (<20 miles) as the Peninsula was cut off. Shortly after that, I had a business flight and flew out of Monterey and passed Watsonville (35 miles away), where ~1000

Step back and ask yourself (objectively) how well you work with the team. I had a co-worker (really smart, but a bit of a narcissist and perhaps very mild asperger syndrome) that was a little too aggressive in telling everyone how smart he

work two consecutive days from home. Then spend one or two nights in your car or fine a cheap room/deal in a house where you work (or sleep in your office - "I was working late..."). If you can work two ten hr days the day

Nice post! Two 2-year stints with a 74-mile one way commute into Silicon Valley, CA. a) The first was 1989-1991 (before highway 85 was built and 3/4-lane sections of Hwy 101 were 2/3 lanes. (heavy traffic, slow commute) b) The sec
