I learned a long time ago that if you share your knowledge freely with your co-workers that only increases your job security. I postulate this plays off imposter syndrome. Your co-workers think to themselves, if this person is willing to sh

For most of my career I worked with a small group (20 to 30) group of highly educated and mostly brilliant people. I barely graduated high school. As the years passed and we all began to age, I realized that the amount of knowledge we all h

What politicians know that the authors of this study don't seem to realize, is that if we are told the same story repeatedly for long enough, no matter how absurd, we'll start believing it. If you throw in some scary outcome if we

I agree with you a 100%. Your bike should help you maintain good riding posture even when you are becoming road tired. Just be careful about who you pay to fit the bike. Most shops claim to be experts, but I have had bad experiences with so

Read as much as you can from Robert A. Pease. He was the guru to contact when it came to analog design. The column he wrote for Electronic Design can still be accessed on line. If your luck you can find one of his books used. Look him up on

Tacit knowledge is what I've always thought of as "intuitive feel". As you grow in experience in a field, you start getting this feel for what will work and what won't work. This can be a great advantage, or a great disa

I maybe out of my league here, but I think you are confusing conditioning, training, and learning.

My best suggestion is to develop another skill that could be distantly related to the skill you already have. In my case, before I retired I was good, not great at circuit design and was good, not great at developing firmware in C. With tho

Voting for someone you don't want in office because you don't want that person's opponent in office even more is not throwing away your vote? Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to eat for breakfast!

There is a perfect storm brewing in the food industry. Investments in the spring when crops are planted were down. There is a solar minimum occurring which will effect the yield of food grown. There is a locust plague going on in some parts

It is my understanding that only about 6000 ancient human skeletons have been found. https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/human-fossils Many of these are incomplete. So the samples of children with bad teeth could easi

I can't help thinking that this problem is being looked at backwards. Maybe in primitive societies good teeth were far more important to survival than they are today. If that were true, then people/children with bad teeth would no

Maybe he was just standing in the right place at the right time, but he was also prepared with the right tools to do what he did. Doing good business is more than a spin on a roulette wheel.

Most of us chose the profession/vocation we practice because that is the opportunity that presented itself at the time. Very few people set out to be "rich". What they really want is to be comfortable, and able to pursue cont

At what point do we draw the line that a certain number of deaths outweigh a certain amount of human misery or vice versa. In my state they don't even erect a traffic light until a certain number of people have died in that road inters

This is fear mongering at best. Anyone who has had a major injury or has been majorly effected by a disease such as pneumonia knows that it takes years to recover. It's only on TV a person receives an injury or is struck with a diseas

I've found this article, and the associated comments to be very enlightening and insightful. I suppose that is because almost every human alive has been touched by these disorders. What I find most interesting about the discussion on t

Yes there are those who suffer through no consequence of their own. But they are in the minority. I'm guessing that the majority of people with these compromises have been smoking, drinking and made poor lifestyle choices. I didn'
