For their battery replacement program, my serial # did not come up as affected and they refused to service it over the phone. They quickly changed their minds when I showed up at the Apple store with a battery so swollen it was pushing thro

There was no "stealing" whatsoever, OP got tilted by his slacker partner (understandable) and undersold his shares of the company. As a general rule, I never do business with friends or family: 1) If things go poorly, you risk los

Seems like the study is largely inconclusive because creativity is difficult to measure. I will say from my personal experience that I am far more creative when I am unmedicated versus when I am medicated. I've come up with great paten

Kudos to you for sticking to something for (at least) 8 years - it's very very easy to become discouraged, so it's inspiring to someone continue to press forward after so many years.

The American Dream is the polar opposite of relying multiple generations to achieve stability. The general interpretation of the American Dream is the notion that any one person can achieve success by working hard enough.

If you are an engineer and the company primarily makes money through cold calls by salespeople, then the salespeople are a revenue generating center and you are a cost center. A company increases profits by increasing revenue and reducing c

Nice work. Completely ignore the most relevant part of the comment. Great job contributing a negative amount of value to the discussion then following up with a childish "sue me."

"So you think a CS chitty is automatically the best possible career in development no wonder you used a throwaway handle. I would have said having a good grounding in physics or engineering can be a plus having to work from first princ

This has been my experience within teams as well, but it was clear to me that we were hired in spite of our degrees rather than because of them. I do not regret my physics education, and I would encourage young people who are passionate

From my experience both interviewing and hiring, a physics degree absolutely will not help you in tech. You will have more credibility than any non-STEM graduate, but employers will constantly wonder if you've bridged the gap created b

What? In his current situation, even if he doesn't zone out, he can still produce erroneously transcribed data too. Why even go to work?

In his current situation, if he zones out, he produces nothing. In the situation where he's aided by the potentially faulty described system, if he zones out, he produces erroneously transcribed data.

The constant stress can definitely wear someone down if they don't have any proper outlets. I had clear skin my entire life until I started to develop severe cystic acne as a 32 year old adult (after about 6 months of non-stop work int

I've been chronically ill for over a decade and founded my first company last year. Perhaps the hardest truth I've had to learn to accept is that I simply do not have as many hours in the day as a healthy person. I spend at least

His share wasn't 19 billion. What percent of your net worth have you donated to causes you support? Is the total anywhere close to .2% of 50 mil?
