If your criticism of this position is "who cares, it's just spiders" then you're essentially saying it's not a big deal because it doesn't involve something you give a shit about, never mind that it's the

To be clear, I'm more angry at Jonathan N. Pruitt, the fraud. Looks like he hasn't retracted these papers from his Pubs list: https://labs.eemb.ucsb.edu/pruitt/jonathan/publications But still, there is n

Glad she came clean, and glad the retractions are coming in. And now she has a tenure track position at a UC. While the scientific record might be corrected, the historic impact on a cohort of people who got less because of this remains una

Maybe. It's always good to play the game of asking whether such a signal is honest? ...why not just be unstressed and get white hair if it garners attention and help? Which demands thinking in terms of tradeoffs ... What is the cost o

..and then eventually, having no aerospace program, Canada goes on to buy F18s from America. I think the Arrow was an economic threat couched in strategic language. The arrow was kick-ass long before 14s, 15s, 16s,18s entered the science. A

My biggest challenge with value based pricing (VBP) was that it required an upfront discussion about the perceived value of the work, and my prospects/clients were often totally in the dark about "value". I don't think V

"...for kind people return kindness with kindness." Some would argue that if you're treating kindness like a transaction, where acts are done with expectation of reciprocity, then it isn't really kindness.

I'm curious to learn about your adventures in value based pricing. I've worked as an independent consultant for 3 years and have priced by the hour, and using value based fixed prices...the latter with mixed results. I love Jonath

This isn't an issue of language, it's a check on the internal consistency of a number system. No year zero and the decade starts next year are internally consistent. That most people think the decade started doesn't make it t

I read DM when I was into Intermittent Fasting (IF). I was fasting one day per week (Mondays) and I found I would cheat on Sundays by eating big meals, etc. So I changed it up and let the die decide if any given day was a fast day. I used 1

Agreed. Audio book was unlistenable. I had to tap out after the first few vacuous chapters. This guy is talking his book, not reality. Buyer beware.

Timmy is the worst interviewer on pods... Asks questions that don't require him even to be present..in fact, some of his shows he isn't (and they are arguably better). He should learn to listen and actually have discussions.
