Surprise! I have twenty companies that all look about right. Net profit: 280 million. And the result is still shit. The solution is obviously to pick good companies, not lemons. Except, that was the whole problem in the first place.

My understanding was that the right against self-incrimination was largely meant as a patch, to prevent suspects being tortured into confessing by devaluing their confessions. If that's the point, I don't see any reason for a cour

Handshake deals are reliant on trust, which friends/spouses usually have in good supply. This protocol is attempting to add enough formality to lower the trust required somewhat (because people have been welching, so enough trust is not a

Happiness is a fairly broad category of mental states, which encompasses contentment. Happiness is linked to both a set of internal subjective feelings (impossible to describe, as there's no reference point. See also: the color red), and to

Worth pointing out that even if you personally did not become what the director expected of you, by leaving you likel brought the remaining team's average closer to the expectation.

"Stalker", to me, implies a certain degree of obsession with a particular person. This app is much less discriminating than that- maybe a good tool for a conman, though.

I'm in my mid-twenties, and was seriously considering it when I thought it was reliably reversible. My reading at the time indicated that this wasn't the case and there was a good chance that you'd stay sterile after reversing the operation

In any given exchange, the speaker is likely optimizing both honesty and diplomacy, trading one against the other as the situation requires. The phrase "to be honest" signals that the next bit is going to sacrifice an unusually large amount

So governments are going to shut down bitcoin- as I understand it, this is done by making it illegal to use bitcoin in otherwise legal transactions. That seems like the kind of thing that'd tank the value of bitcoin, making it useless. On t

I generally agree, so long as you remember that talk is cheap. If you shouldn't respect someone too much for talking about the great things they'll do, you shouldn't hold it too hard against someone for talking about terrible positions.

This is a very plausible prediction. I don't like it. Frankly, more than a little bit of me hopes that this gets bogged down in development hell. If it comes out, I'll go see it, but I can't imagine it living up to the book.
