They very nicely informed our team that they just didn't seem to have enough work for all the contractors, and I was one of the contractors they just didn't seem to have enough work for, so I was off the project, one year + 7 or 8

This reminds me of my two years working for the U.S. Defense Department as a contractor. For a few months I worked with one of the highest ranking individuals in the building, I did a great job and finished much faster than they expected...

Ernest Becker's 1974 Pulitzer Prize winner would agree with you [1]; in fact, the theory goes so far as to state that all of human culture is designed around avoidance of death, and even avoidance of the acceptance of the reality of tr

Agreed. I'm 30 years old and I can still visualize everything about my grade school schoolyard from a "bird's eye view" quite easily (can even do this with the apartment I moved out of and never saw again after 3.5 years

I like how you say "tin-foil hat aside", then go on to state with what seems to be complete seriousness that 9/11 was carried out by the U.S. against the U.S. using drone-controlled passenger airplanes.

Bringing in a "good talker" with exciting-sounding business ideas and great-looking credentials, then trusting him to run the show - often in ways against my better judgment - killed one of my businesses and nearly killed another.

Is this really 'instant'? I tried using Coinbase to buy Bitcoins a little over a month ago. Spent a week or so logging in repeatedly, including right at 6 AM EST, which is supposedly when the site 'resets' and the day&#x

My point was to call attention to the inanity of this argument we keep hearing over and over again from middle class people who want to have it easy while also feeling good about themselves that they're on the "poor people's

By the middle of this article, I felt refreshed to be reading something that seemed to be saying, "There are people who struggle economically, but that's okay - the world is an imperfect place, and people take their own lives down

The other great apes are quite intelligent and occupy the top spots in their ecological niches. Bottlenose dolphins pass the mirror test for self-awareness and appear to have individual names [1], and are at the top of their ecological nich

My MacBook Air fell into the camp smackfu is talking about. Big thread on the Apple website about the problem, no public acknowledgement of it from Apple. However, when I brought my out-of-warranty laptop in, they replaced the faulty parts

It's pretty clear this was his plan from the get-go. Now we know why the U.S. was looking for him so hard. Revealing that the country is tracking its citizens is one thing. Revealing covert cyber espionage secrets to a country the U.S.

I've been listening to the book Spycraft, and if there's one theme that keeps recurring, it's that things never end well for the agent informing against his country. The handlers often turn the guy over once he's outlive

Sounds like impassioned idealistic rhetoric. And what should happen with the Chinese higher ups who authorized hacking teams to infiltrate the U.S. and other Western targets? Further, who gets to decide what should happen and why, exact

It seems to me that the real problem is the habit of always "doing" something we're in, making any wasted time when we could be doing something but aren't feel bad and anxiety producing. When I'm on a long train ride in a third world coun

Murdoch made a mistake sending Jobs that first clarifying email. HC shows a lack of any coherent direction having one junior person send a response, and then a senior person follow up with more exposition. The moment Murdoch does this, the

There seems to be a strong emphasis in search results on domain name match, similar to Google several years back. e.g., search "dog training" and examine the results - there's a much higher mix of spammier content mixed in with helpful cont

The article has some good points. However, it loses a lot of credit by waving off Donald Trump's successes as being the result of a monetary investment not accessible to the many. Trump's real success comes from the education available to h
