A drunk walker careening into traffic poses no threat? Must note the "level" of drunkenness; motor skills at acceptable level but "above" limit per-law? You can still get public intoxication fines / jail, as well as a DUI if you hop on a bi

I have "normal" FaceBook friends (ala non-tech, don't care about data and privacy, add every survey application, etc.) Removed myself from FB recently. They call me by phone. Business contacts are on LN (a different discussion) and I throw

I found the post more of a great philosophy of a life approach -- even outside the "sober vs not" theme. Sometimes hostility from others who are not sober can come from the turn of an introspective eye (conscious or subconscious) to themsel

I'd add, cinnamon naturally "perks" one up for the most part. I used to add cinnamon to my coffee (to avoid sugar), but works as well for tea, or your hot water, lemon and honey for a non-caffeinated morning (or afternoon slog) beverage. h

To make an endeavor feasible, it would really have to be a GX large-scale multi-nation effort, and, the agreed (tacit or otherwise) collapse of certain industries (like, collapsing copper pricing, etc.) I don't believe the current socio-pol

Sometimes we are helpful as middle-men, being the "bad" guy for the negotiations (upping the salary in negotiation based on X, Y, Z). ~20% avg fee for $80,000 vs $102,000 is a difference of $4,400 to the company, and an extra (lets say 15%

Of course? The article, while focusing its attack Manpower is more an indication of systemic problems of the large-scale staffing firms. Race to the bottom, wage squeezing, etc.

Poignant comment: As an industry executive with quite a bit of tenure I could certainly throw some additonal wood on this Manpower fire, however to be brutally honest, many of the issues raised within this string are common across many glo

Truly an MVP? Seems very light on the actual content. Interesting launch, I'm curious as to thoughts or copycats of very minimal launches with no "content" but launching only for feedback.

A lot of staffing firms are suing former employee's over such. On my own research, you are "safer" if you never allow the company to pay for premium options, you had the LN account prior to employment, and honor your non-compete post-employ

I'm always fascinated by the lack of "space" like exploration projects for the ocean. Seemingly closer access, as if not difficult technical problems, but with greater access to actual resources. Thoughts as to why? http://oceanexplorer.no

Merging of tech, fashion / hiring the "best" for design, etc. Branching out from engineering vs design (where so many say "I'm a coder, not a designer" and, making the point, that sometimes, you should invest (even by hiring), into "design.

Unfortunate..a link to the Q&A would be helpful, pehaps with less vitriol. However, it has been said (and I've noticed, though I'm a lurker by far on Quora) that the more popular vs factual answers are upvoted / higher ranked. It does s
