You highlight an important point: your direct manager can really make or break a lot of these but they're ultimately beholden to the same macro environment as you. I try to shelter my direct reports but if we M&A, cancel major proj

Study after study provides evidence that compensation is the most important motivator up to some individual range/level, at which point its leverage quickly tapers off. Food & shelter would definitely be below the cut-off but a 5%

Well, if they're trying to get you to switch or to adopt something new, they're trying to sell. There's more to trading than just money for product/service; could be attention, effort, endorsement, opinion and other sign

This is just false. Lots of real estate organizations require a credit pull as part of your application. You aren't renting from the owner/landlord but from the property manager; there's no notion of just "pay a bigger

Well yes, if the "nefarious" reason you suspect is to gain easy political points. Why wouldn't they just look at regulating the product side (ie the actual services like crypto currencies) on their own merits and not discrimi

So in a candidate response-based survey 54% picked the more palatable "Growth Opportunities" item but 42% also selected the far less attractive motivator of "More money". Accounting for the "perceived gallantry&quot

especially when you look at the scientific pay-off from relatively cheap unmanned space exploration vs. what we get from shooting humans onto the space equivalent of the front step of the house.

Johnson accomplished a lot and, more importantly, in the correct order to make sure things got done. I think you're right though (and that he probably felt the same way) that he'll always be the Vietnam president. That may be a li

It gets better; there's something like 130M tokens sold to founders & other insiders that have no transfer or time lock associated with them. Guess which ones will be the first traded at full pop?

It's a smell that a course that dedicates an hour to object-oriented programming even mentions UML. Wouldn't your audience be far better served if you offered dozens of focused sprint classes (1 topic; 1 hour) rather than some sor

HA! - I don't think you intended to make this joke but if you did, Kudos! If we give the HN hug to enough niche sites, maybe they'll pick up their SEO game, improve the ranking and start optimizing for the big ad dollars :)
