Yes, it is a question of big principles and that's what matters. "principle: a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behaviour or for a chain of reasoning."

At least PayPal is making a show of deciding. YouTube will demonetise your vid and pretend keeping running ads for free is not a problem.

And this matches my experience. I once joined a 10k without much research. It was on the weekend I wanted to run fast 10k (at the time that was 50 minutes for me) and I decided I might want to run it with other people. The detail I missed w

I think you might be looking wrong at how big an accomplishment it is to be in top 3 or 4% of random sample of people in a field where a lot of people do it recreationally. All running events I took part look more or less like this -- there

No, I just want to say that probably most of healthy people (well, at the very least men) can, with a bit of preparation, achieve the above mentioned result with no prior history of doing any serious sports. It would require some effort but

I was 35 when I was able to run 10k in 47m on my first season after I lost 26 kg the previous year. This is about about 7:30 minutes per mile. I was also able to run 5k in 21:03 (about 6:47) and at the end of the season a marathon in 4:12:0

Hi! I specialise in fixing failing projects. Yours probably not the worst I have seen. First of all, don't do a rewrite! Your team most likely do not know what they need to know to be able to perform a clean rewrite. You are new and st

You are not looking if they "sounded" intelligent. You are looking if they were true.

You are right, but it is not very useful way of looking at the world. Sometimes you just need to trust people on certain things to be able to make useful decisions having very little or no knowledge in the subject. One useful way of dealing

Burry is doing a lot of pretty short term speculation, according to his filings. What is a crash for a short term investor might be a bump for a long term one.

What you do is look at the rationale that was given before it happened. You look at their reasoning and figure out if it was actually what happened in reality. Just make sure you are not picking up on their rationalisation after the fac

Yeah, good point. So another point would also be listing ability to replenish the reserves (availability of LNG terminals and other negotiated supply solutions).

To make it even better it would be useful to have the stored amount per capita and also number of days the country can rely on stored amount. Although I understand the usage will heavily depend on the weather and how far the country will go

It is irrelevant. Using your argument, you could stop all support right after the devices stopped being sold. So it was being sold for 15 years and the software has been in support for 15 years and it is old so we stop selling it and suppor

What do you mean "Tech is moving fast"? I am not asking for the routers to be equipped with new features support. Just the features it was shipped with to keep being usable. One of the main reasons to buy these SMB routers over co

But that's the whole point. Imagine you have to throw out your car after 5 years because the manufacturer stopped updating the software. We are getting there. 5 years is not nice. A large, established company like Cisco, selling device

If you think about it, humanity goes into the direction of spending considerable effort not to hurt innocent people. But the companies found dealing with exceptions is costly and decided to optimise themselves by not dealing with exceptions

It will depend a lot on the situation. In my personal observation, bootstrapped businesses fare better in many important aspects. But this might be due to survivorship bias. If you are patient and your business allows, I think there is a lo

Actually, it is more like 300 million. The coal formed because plants produced lignin but there was no organism that was able to break it up, until fungi evolved. Now it is pretty much impossible for new coal to form in significant amount (

by twawaaay 4y ago
Except forest fires do not produce CO2. They release carbon that has been temporarily stored in trees and is part of the carbon cycle. On the other hand, by driving a car, you are adding to the atmosphere carbon that has not been in the cyc

I think it is worth to note that there is nothing wrong with the scrum techniques. Just like any shoe you find in a store might be fully functional and useful to somebody it might just not be good fit for you. Now, that might not be a probl

Every team and situation is different. The point of agile is to teach your team to solve problems. To build ability to spot whenever something can be improved and then understand what is expected of them and the tools at the disposal. An &q

Good point. Focus is a resource too. If your the world suddenly shifts and you need to focus on survival it might make sense to cut things that might or might not be profitable but are unlikely to carry your business to survival but will fo
