The entire piece is catering to Bob's anxiety. As one of the replies mentions, it is about communication. But if Bob is really getting bored, then it he isn't a fit with your company, and that's a decision he needs to make. I

It isn't irrelevant because Buffet didn't use that strategy.

Bit what is the difference? Just a hundred fewer people, and the knowledge that you're just polluting for a few extra minutes of boarding time? I don't see any positives, even at the same price per ticket. Also, smaller planes are

In the Buffet example, OP left out that once you cross a certain threshold of wealth, it is almost impossible to NOT make more. There are hedge funds, exchanges, shell corporations, ways of diffusing assets across businesses, and other stra

Long live the first generation ipod shuffle. It just worked. Now every gadget has so many "why is it doing this?" and "how do I make it stop doing ___?" that I've checked out entirely. Cords are hip again in my hous

Funny, I have a friend with Apple airpods and has he walks through his house they ask / try to connect to all his apple devices. That's part of the reason why I prefer a cord.

I don't understand why this took so long when it was part of the ACA in 2014 [1]. How did it take another administration, an executive order, and 8 more years?! Hell, even the Clinton plan was calling for it in 1993 [2] but that never

I somewhat agree, but I've bent Excel to do things that aren't "excel thinking" for literally decades. Reshaping is something could have used many times in the past. I used to pull data into PERL first to reshape it but

The latter needs to be done for all drone builds. Its quite simple: turn on manual mode, turn on blackbox recording, record hover throttle setting; enter this value in the firmware via the Mavic/CLI interface. Pretty simple. Surprised

True, but is there a better analogy to a critical infrastructure failing that hard for that long?

by sbf501 4y ago
It is a new phenomenon when the the thing that goes extinct is critical infrastructure (e.g., pollinators). We've seen similar things with the great potato famine: a critical resource went (temporarily) extinct due to blight, and the r

Well, if we don't solve the poacher problem, eventually it will solve itself: no more rare animals to poach.

Well it's a good thing LastPass doesn't require you to put your passwords in the hands of a third party! Just the locally encrypted passwords. This is vastly different than, say, a crypto exchange, where the meme originated becaus

One important point here is that half-life of 5.3 years still takes decades to fall to acceptable levels. In the nuclear waste debate, I often see half-life used as "full-life", with disregard for its exponential nature.

I've filed multiple (hardware) patents in previous companies. Which part, exactly, is a scam? I think the only reasonable criticisms of the patent system is a lack of intelligent lawyers in the areas of discipline that often fail findi

> The only way to stop this is with regulation This is a controversial point, but a salient one. If EVERY manufacturer makes a smart TV, then there are no longer dumb TVs. It is collusion of a sort, not a monopoly. One could argue: just

Unlike other films from my childhood, it holds up very well, mostly due to the actors. The very, very last moment (what "really" happens at death), however, is awful.

We may experience the first ever dopamine burnout. How much can the brain handle? Remember the film "Brainstorm" from the 1980's? Where the guy almost dies because he blasts a real-life full brain capture of sex into his own

Not entirely. Startups have a <4% success rate. I'd prefer a more stable opportunity. As a senior principal, I consider myself "top talent".
