    How to Legally Own Another Person

    MINDSET 
    Taleb has quit publishing books through the standard channels and now publishes them free. What I shared here is just a latest chapter of his. He may or may not be a "guru", but he's definitely not trying to monetize it. He has a body of work I think is pretty cohesive, which he...

    Vigilante, Does WalMart Sell Crap?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Haven't noticed this, and those are the 3 places we buy them. Wal-mart for sure gets lower quality guns with the same brand and model #, not as in seconds but cheaper furniture, surface finish etc. Big 5 does too.

    Vigilante, Does WalMart Sell Crap?

    "Intrapreneur" You need to find a company and manager that will give you the time/freedom to create your own niche within the company. This was my career until I moved to sales. I managed to get a lab/clubhouse built, hired a couple of amazing people to do the stuff I hated and then went to...

    NY Times Article about Amazon

    Oh, right then, always that. There is so much bullshit in these stories. Do the people at Amazon work in a high pressure place? Yes. Is it less so than Google? Apple? Microsoft? No. (EDIT- I speak from experience, not from reading other stories)
