I think there might be something here. I've written about it and I wonder whether the current interpretation of Agile is just another manifestation of our can-do, 'get-ahead', 'ach…

Also nice reminder about that lovely photo of Zuck with a sticker covering up his webcam. Now why would he do something like that ... ?

Helps to purge the nonsense from the mind (which can often derail you later on, if suppressed). I journal in the mornings at 6am. I find that it'll take me a few pages to get past …

I found the book 'Work together anywhere' by Lisette Sutherland extremely helpful. You can skip past the first five chapters if you already are in this situation. It's really helpe…

It's a somewhat misleading comparison because nobody uses Latin today. MSA however is the language of the news, media and academia so everyone can understand it.

Made my day reading this!

Well spotted - It must be a typo because normally I hear parts per billion in reference to these figures, never ppm.

All the more reason to select organic produce and where possible start growing your own veggies or link up with local co-operatives. It's something we've done and having a close re…

I have a few kiwi friends and it seems like most of them (and most of their friends over there) are financially very successful regardless of their profession and background. Appea…

I would recommend the 'Princes of the Yen' as an incredibly insightful documentary based on Werner's analysis of the Japanese economy.

I'd check that cup again, BSVino - if I were you. I'm sure a lot of people on HN can have similar or greater claims of success as you do on your 'about me'. We wouldn't want to 'di…

I would certainly say that we are seeing similar trends in the UK regarding the description of the two worlds. It's almost going back to feudalism. The drawbridge is being drawn up…

There was a movement in the UK that did exactly this (reclaim the streets, I think). They got infiltrated by the police!!

We had a bit of fun with the mapping of the two versions of 'i' here: https://handsonturkish.com/typing-turkish-alphabet/

Also worth pointing out that in the UK, we were offered three choices of births. Home, water or hospital. We started off in the birthing pools until mum decided she wanted the epid…

I'm still puzzled by duolingo - it uses an outdated pedagogy and an overemphasis on 'fun'. I have only looked briefly at the courses but I find the structure unconvincing. Regardin…

Maybe, maybe not, but either way I don't want to give them the benefit of doubt for my reasons mentioned above. Cheers!

I think this story could appear harmless - or perhaps not. The potential gold mine of information that insurers and the health industry could get from this kind of data could be st…

I like your term 'information hygiene'. Very relevant to staying focussed.

I am sure certain members of the Gov won't forget the lack of his appearance (and the impression it gives) so who knows if it was a good business decision or not, down the line.

Aside from everything, I find it remarkable that the media are gunning for facebook right now (referencing all those shady algorithms / shady partnerships etc etc) to the extent th…

I feel the same and was happy to pay the $1 to WhatsApp, until that changed. I can only imagine that FB values its unfettered access to you and your data as worth more than $40 or …

Holidays - or time off - usually meant going on pilgrimages to important religious sites (still many routes around Europe that you can follow). Wars also took place in winter when …
