    An Excel Course?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    A friend of mine flies all his new managers to New York to take an Excel course, before he lets them do anything in the company. I think the price of the course is pretty hefty too. He always says "it's not a calculator" and laments that people don't do a very good job using spreadsheets. So...

    So, as much as I would like to claim genius for knowing about this stuff, my team adopted Cypress on their own. They found Sentry too. I discovered how much other developers love Cypress when I posted a position in a local developer Slack for a temporary e2e test writing pinch hitter to increase...

    Seeing Adult Life

    INTRO 
    Welcome! It's not bad at all to develop a technical skill, or even to work at a job where you can learn skills, management, etc. Just don't let lifestyle get you stuck working for someone else forever, if that's not what you wanna do. I've always thought that having a few technical skills that...

    Aren't Website Templates (CMS, HTML/CSS) A Cheat Code to Process?

    EXECUTION 
    Another way of thinking about what @Fox said here. Process is just a type of capital you can use in your business. Capital is everything that makes labor more efficient, or leverages the efforts of people. Templates are also, effectively, capital assets of the business. If they are shared...

    Two things that we're doing in my project that help are: automatic test coverage, and plugging in a bug reporting tool. For the front-end e2e tests (end to end), we're using cypress.io. Cypress has a lot to love about it form a developer's perspective... using it seems to actually make...

    Ok, since the words "road to serfdom" (Hayek!) and Atlas Shrugged have been mentioned a few times in this thread, I just want to link to some good friends you might like.

    I just want to mention that since we have pandemic bonds, we had might as well develop pandemic futures and pandemic futures-options. Who has a contact at CBOE?

    The bonds are debt financing. What they are doing is supplying capital for an insurance contract, similar to catastrophe reinsurance that keeps insurance companies afloat after disasters like hurricanes. What's really responding to the situation, or waiting to respond, is an insurance policy...

    Alarming inner quality

    MINDSET 
    Quick anecdote to demonstrate how bad this can get if you let it. I once had a term paper and a report on a book (is was "Sister Carrie" by Theodore Dryser), due on the same day in college. I had not started either, and they were both due the afternoon of the next day. Two different classes...

    It occurs to me that distilled alcohol is a very effective disinfectant too, so I think I will accelerate development of the distilling facilities. Alcohol producers and consumers welcome. We'll brew up some Dutch Courage and fight off the dark age.

    No, but we aren't reading the news in Chinese either. If we were, I'm sure we would be talking about other things, like what our great leaders are doing about the problem, or something. Since many of us read US media (including web media) instead, we get panic, fear, and "this Grandma in...

    Alarming inner quality

    MINDSET 
    What you're describing is not so much an inner quality or inherent vice, but a set of habits. "Inner quality" implies a fixed mindset... you don't want that because it's hard to improve when you think in terms of immutable state. You need a growth mindset to apply to this problem. The reason...

    Quercetin is an example of why (probably) people grow bitter herbs, and eat them, without really knowing why they do it. Who would choose to eat all this weird tasting stuff? Who would drink bitters, or quinine? But we do, if we can separate ourselves from junk food. Look at traditional diets...

    I'm coming into this a little late, and trying to catch up. So you want to get into retail eCommerce for your "cashflow" business. And to get there you are freelance writing. Is that right? When you say "cashflow" are you thinking passive income, cash on cash return, less time more money, or...

    I get your meaning. It's just that, if we throw out the law of large numbers, all the numbers are meaningless. Also, going from 6.6 to 8.4 would be a 27% increase in mortality rate. In other words, more than 1/4 of the survivors at the 6.6 rate would die if 8.4 is correct. I think that would be...

    Wuhan virus or not, my house is equipped for blacksmiting, metal casting, raising chickens, growing fruit, growing herbs, pickling, making soap, making antiseptics, and making mead or wine. With slight effort I can add distilling, black powder, stronger antiseptics (cautery stuff like silver...
