TL;DR: My advice to you is to get out fast. As more people leave, the further behind the company will get, and the more pressure and blame will be placed upon those who stay. This …

I don't. I've first hand experience with groups which have "clandestine" agendas, both in the private sector and in government. And I don't mean UFO agendas, but money and financia…

You have to determine who your market is. Some potential clients may not be in your market--whether too small or too big--and you pass on them. If there's a demand from those marke…

I only do fixed bid projects (plus expenses). In my experience, clients want to know up front what they'll be paying (or a very tight range, with expenses). Hourly, they get nervou…

This movie is an example of what happens when Boeing's Marketing department and USAF recruiting (with assistance from SAF/FMP) team up.

Here's food for thought. Does this happen with experienced positions open in other departments? Are experienced CPAs interviewing for the new position in Accounting required to bal…

That's incorrect about the Constitution. While it does not lay down specifics, it does give Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce. Known as the Commerce Clause, it's A…

This isn't happening in only SF, or only in tech. It's happening all over, and across the spectrum of ideas. Is the argument that social media is tearing apart our society correct?…

Just saw this. As my late dad and other old timers said a few years ago, the price of land is tied to the price of corn. Land values (both purchase and cash rent) have fallen the p…

There has been some land in Iowa which has still sold for $9-10K/acre this year. Very good CSR. But it's definitely not the norm anymore. $7-8.5k/acre seems to be the range.

Wow! I wish I could have gotten that price for my corn last year. You quoted the price for beans, not corn. Corn averaged 3.40 over the year (currently, around $3.05 cash, not CBOT…

I'm guessing you didn't grow up on a farm. There will always be some farmland effectively for sale; but there will also be other farmland which will never be for sale, no matter wh…

I'm going to address how to handle the employee who came to you in confidence. You need to sit down with her--before you do anything--and inform her you need to do something and wh…

I'm guessing power constraints. More flash you have, more power you'll require. Even increasing power consumption deltas minimally may impact battery longevity between charges on m…

The question isn't how big the farms are. The question is how are those who are "using" Farmlogs, using FarmLogs. Are they active? Are they using just the basic functionality, or a…

Always a tough choice. And only one you can make. Here's my thoughts: 1) People/teammates make all the difference in the world. You love working with your current team; you've enjo…

Geez, what a yawner. This has been either assumed or an open secret for decades.

It's like the old real estate mantra goes: "It's all about location, location, location." There will be some metros where no one cares; they're so short-handed and the tech market …

I agree with this statement. I lived in the Twin Cities for a decade and worked for four (4) different companies--the last three of which recruited me away from my then-current pos…

Let's examine this law via the perspective of speed limits. In the US, most interstate highway systems have a speed limit of 70 miles/hour (around 112-113 km/hour). If you go over …

-Work to live, not live to work. -Time is your most valuable and most finite resource. Don't waste it on working 24x7 for companies who will take advantage of your desire to do so.…

Reading this brought back fond memories. Or nightmares. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between the two.

Reading this brought back fond memories. Or nightmares. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between the two.

Thanks. I associate typewriters with a different era, which really wasn't that long ago. An era where we weren't (all) slaves to our work. You worked hard during the day, and went …
