Being the best at something is a good ideal, but hopefully you'll never get there. Because if you do, what will be your drive? I'm serious about this. Think through your stated motivation, and ask yourself what you want out of

And the pool pumps would have to be replaced to deal with increased corrosion. I know of one such pool in a retirement home that had the saltwater pumps taken out because of cost saving measures. And the amount of salt was nowhere near en

It's a cost/benefit win for many companies in the U.S. where maternity leave, let alone universal health care, is not the norm. The optics of such a policy cast a favorable light on the employer, while the cost is minimal, and mu

This stock, among a few others, is in a tug of war between hedge funds who decided to short it, and the retail investors who bought in hopes of a short squeeze. The hedge funds appear to be doing everything to avoid closing their positions

Maybe you aren't from the U.S., where it is legal for big pharma to flood media with ads. It has been going on so long here that older people think it is normal. I think since people have become aware that it is not accepted practice

I think the way to pull out of this (it happens to me now and then) is to let go of enough of the actionable idea to allow yourself to start without any expectations. You need to be able to fail. Otherwise, your mind focuses on the detail

As a massage therapist who was a programmer, built my own house, and am currently a whitewater kayaker, I use my hands a lot. At times I have noticed precursors of carpal tunnel syndrome, and have learned a few things. The tension usually

Don't kid yourself. Anything the feds think is important enough to start regulating should be taken seriously.

You could look a little more closely at all the new technologies being started today, and realise that in the big picture, you are never late. You just need to find the right party.

What are your sources for this opinion? Ask yourself if socialism threatens the grip big money has on the world. Perhaps big money controls the media you've been listening to.

Yes, if the U.S. continues toward destructive internal conflict. It's still about providing a high enough standard of living to keep the ambitious citizens producing, while keeping it low enough to keep the armed forces stocked. I th

Why does the US media think we are all idiots? More and more people understand that the rich will use any excuse to ratchet up prices. It's called greed.

Don't let the hype or naysayers distract you. Blockchain tech is a game changer, and you don't have to like crypto or have your life savings in it to benefit. Take real estate, for example. The amount of corruption in this indu

I'm pissed that people who are clearly aware of the end results of corporate ownership of government still play the red vs blue game. It is exactly this deadlock of the citizenry that guarantees a weak government, subservient to the co

No, but it is a start. Just like not working 7 days a week was a start, and not owning humans was a start.

I ran into a situation where a manager with poor technical skills was promoted primarily because some hiring boxes needed to be checked. Then several of my peers began leaving the unit this manager was heading up. This went on for years unt

Interesting headline. It's almost as if the establishment is attempting to bolster the FUD in crypto because the underlings are losing trust in traditional currency.(gasp!) Certainly, we should blindly trust our rulers?!?

Don't waste your technical skills trying to solve personnel/cultural problems. Either get the point across to your supervisor, or leave. Of course, the supervisor may be part of the problem.

For me it was a gradual...it took many years to put the pieces in place. I wanted to get a pension from my IT job...meaning I had to stay 13 years. I knew I was leaving at about 10 years. But it is good to have a safety net or two, so I
