Does the bbc now have the modern clickbait intensifier generator as well? something that randomly adds "speechless", "your draw will drop", "what they dont want you to know" etc etc

I think most of the people who wrote the agile manifesto said "Agile" been warped into something they don't agree with. Its supposed to empower teams, not enforced from on high to increase pressure on teams. Heres's a go

When my grandfather died he left behind a huge library of books. Many were junk, some were gold. I have a bunch of ebooks, I guess no one will ever see them again.

I absolutely agree. The ironic thing is that the US protects the oil going from the ME to China. Trump even said this the other day, maybe things will change? https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/114312864287

I agree the loss of manufacturing & production skill in the US is a problem. I dont think you can blame Wall Street directly for "short termism". Monopolies aside, investment flows to the most efficient ways of doing things. R

You should try to get in to some meetings where these guys are. Its good to be known by these people, you shouldn't be scared of them, esp if you're working hard for them. Things they do: Talk to execs to find out what direction o

What I really meant was. Yes, China doesn't have any leading edge foundries. But neither does the USA.

> The author also omitted that China has no bleeding edge foundries (like TSMC & Samsung's 7nm fabs) Is that supposed to make Americans feel any better? :) Seriously the Chinese government still thinks of Taiwan (and on a bad da

I hate checklists. I've just done an information security checklist at work, 200 questions, lots of them irrelevant, many are very vague, often require evidence that is time consuming to put together. Next week I have a release that I

Maybe you should actually read it. He said companies might be tempted by maximizing short-term returns because we are late in the economic cycle.

I would have though that the CEO of the world's largest investment company would count more than "one single data point". I know there are a few examples of short term investors ruining a company - but have you any examples o

Its largely a scale thing too. When I was growing up I used to go on weekends away and camp overnight in rest areas, side of the road or private places. It worked great. A few decades later those areas are really popular with tourists but t

Thanks I've seen but its only US stocks, I like IB for futures and options data, which is harder to find. The API is fine, just I have to run on my workstation.

The problem is that Lyme isn't the only tick borne disease. There are a bunch and some speculate there are more undetected ones. When someone has "chronic lyme" maybe they have some other prion that no one has diagnosed yet.

Most people still see deer as cute, but its starting to change. When I see deer I just see disease carrying vermin. Deer populations have exploded. I wish they were systematically culled. Time talked about this a while back, I havent seen a

I love IB but their API sucks, you have to run TWS or the gateway with manual 2 factor login. Anyone managed to improve on that? I'd like to get account and market data from code running on the cloud.

I'm trying to figure out if the cost in Sweden (or UK NHS) is using the older recipe so the a valid comparison. If so the US Walmart product isn't so different. I'm trying to compare like with like.

Some people are very good at organizing and reading & working on the material before the lecture. This seems ideal, though I'd never been able to do that.

Is this the traditional insulin that Walmart sells or newer versions that are so expensive in the US?

I dont understand why there aren't more generic competitors. If 20 years ago companies were profitable selling at a much lower price, surely a new biotech company could do the same now? We're all looking for startup ideas with sub

Both are clearly wrong, should have been using proper IoC with a fooCheckerFactory creating a checking object that inherits from a generic interface that is passed in the context.

Intel nucs use lower powered U-series mobile CPUs, which AMD isn't so great at. Hopefully soon though.
