In _No Shortcuts To The Top_,[1] Viesturs gave more treatment to the topic of oxygen - I don't remember the exact quote, but he said something to the tune of: > I prefer to climb without oxygen, but when guiding groups up Everest, i

This is fascinating to me. Your assessment is entirely defendable, yet in this situation I end up with the opposite assessment: "this is a make believe world with arbitrary rules - bend them as much as you can, because why not" &g

True - many schools collect employment data, but unlike the author, they don't tend to shine light on "total costs of program" (like four years of $30-50k/yr salary + housing expenses + books) Ah, law schools...

Title is a bit click baity, but I agree with the author's points. He sees it as a negative thing, but I see it as a massive improvement on college/uni/grad schools, who wouldn't even know where to start with gathering&#x

Popehat [0] has an excellent list of questions to ask when giving a new power to the government: 1. Does the United States Constitution permit the government to do this? 2. What would this power look like if it were expanded dramatically in

The team I'm on uses Helpscout. I've used Zendesk in the past, and hated the unnecessary formatting added to every message. Helpscout is invisible to the customer, but more than adequate for our needs. Our only pain point is it&#x
