And the replacement of our manufacturing base by Japan and then China is not an issue?

Unemployed consumers don't consume.

I think I missed the part where he had the leverage to make that kind of demand. Perhaps even the brand-name consulting firms have figured out that ridiculous severance packages do…

I forget his name at the moment, but the author of "The Management Myth" retired early from management consulting to write a book on philosophy.

Although I agree with most of the premises of the article, I was dumbfounded by the assertion that marketing is a creative role that doesn't require mathematical skills. Marketing …

Bowker is the official issuer in the US. Different countries have different issuers. The cost-per-ISBN goes down as you buy larger blocks.

In business school we were taught to incorporate uncertainty into projections and models, at the very least by including multiple scenarios. I'm surprised this isn't done in the re…

I think the comparison with housing is interesting, especially given the social status implications. RE: tuition vs. CPI, I think it has been pretty well documented that tuition in…

If you're interested in doing this: 1. Google "POSE Running". The site has lots of information and drills for changing your form to accommodate a mid-foot strike. 2. Consider trans…

I can save him the trouble of writing the book with one (compound) word: Crossfit.

They mix up the movements and there is a rest day every fourth day. If I do deadlifts one day, box jumps and pullups the next, and running/situps/back extensions on day 3, my body …

I guess if you're completely unfamiliar with running, lifting, and movements like pullups and pushups, then you should probably start by going to an affiliate where a trainer can s…

Yep, expense is one reason I haven't joined an affiliate. Luckily, I'm able to get through most stuff at my Bally's if I go when it isn't crowded, but I've thought about finding an…

I liked that as well. Although I am no expert on exercise science, I believe the science behind Crossfit is relatively solid. I've been doing it for about 2 months and it really is…

I'm not sure what you've written here is entirely in opposition to the Crossfit philosophy, although they don't emphasize bench. I agree that beginners should be cautious about lea…

I think I missed the joke.

My guess is that he wanted to see if you could think your way towards some kind of algorithmic approach. I think his biggest mistake was not moving on to something else after a min…

I think the idea is that if TechStars accepts you, then you quit your day jobs and jump in full-time. That is part of the opportunity they are providing.

I think this is a great point. At the stage a TechStars company is at, they need founders and advisors. Anything else is going to create inefficiencies. And if they're lacking in h…

Having had to use Blackboard several times in the past, I have a hard time believing they have any IP that should be protected. As I recall, their functionality is similar to any n…

I actually live in the Belmar development in Colorado that is mentioned in the article. For the most part, we've been quite happy with it. With a Whole Foods, restaurants, bars, pu…

Interesting. In my experience, company leaders typically engineer discussions in order to validate what they already believe, and of course it can be a career-limiter to argue too …

Some of the coursework is difficult precisely because it is unstructured. I didn't find the finance courses to be particularly difficult because the problems typically fit into a f…

1. Learning to express oneself concisely (while still conforming to rules of grammar) as well as verbosely may make one a better writer. 2. Writing tweets does not necessarily help…
