This is really Youtube at its best. Deep dive into a niche topic, expert led, compelling storytelling, and professional production. Not sure how/if something this could have been created / shared 20+ years ago.

In Canada each province has a fairly strong teacher union. In Manitoba for example a teacher with 10 years experience will earn approximately $95K CAD (more than most software developers here). This with strong pension benefits that can

I consistently find that people who are unhappy/unsuccessful and also identify as "smart" are generally very good at rationalizing why things don't work out for them in a manner that protects their ego.

Been using ahrefs for years, not sure what is sleazy about it. It audits your site for issues, shows Google rankings for keywords, estimated volume for keywords, backlinks to specific sites, backlinks to specific pages...etc. It doesn&#x27

This is often the only choice when there is so much noise. In the midst of an election a weekly (bi-weekly? monthly?) summary article of what happened, and what is important is more than sufficient for me.

I like it! Sites like NHL.com or ESPN.com are borderline hostile navigating this info. It is reminiscent of the morning sports pages in the newspaper I would read each morning as a kid. The one improvement would be if there was page that su

Many of these bikes are not a great compromise at all, they are just all together bad. A "dual suspension bikes" for $200, will be both bad on a trail, and on a road. It will have terrible rims, terrible tires, terrible everyth

These offers show signs of life for Canadian salaries. I am presuming you are in Toronto, and these were IC roles. What types of companies were the 2 best offers?

Not all do. For example a defense Attorney defending a DUI charge will likely be a flat fee. They will also charge according to what it is worth to you. e.g. If you were Palo Alto's most successful real estate agent, and were at risk

Nope. Teachers salaries would be similar to that across Canada. Software dev salaries would be very close, with some exceptions. Winnipeg/Calgary/Edmonton are all very similar to Saskatoon. There would be some higher paying

US Presidents are the peak of this. Presidential salary is currently $400K, the real money is made as a former President. George W. Bush, Clinton, Obama have made incredibly amounts of money since being President. Bill Clinton left offic

It is curious how the trauma from his kidnapping is considered different than if he had been a 2nd generation war criminal. Presumably the child of a war criminal would also have suffered trauma in youth, but there would no consideration o

Shoot higher! If you are contracting in a situation like this a reasonable rate could mean $250-$1000 an hour. Really depends on what kind of money your currently make. A better approach in the case would be to offer to investigate, and pr
