Living in the Canadian Rockies, we regularly see temperatures in the -20c (-4f) and colder range. I'd highly recommend looking at:

And as others have mentioned, it's all about layering!

The best book on leadership I read was Jocko Willink's Extreme Ownership[1]. He was a career US Navy SEAL and bring a lot of great leadership approaches from the SEALS and correlates them to the business world. His principles lead back to the idea of taking extreme ownership of everything related to your team and the "mission". I really liked his no nonsense approach.
The best lesson I learnt on leadership is to listen to and believe in your team. They are the experts, not you anymore. Your job now is to clear the path to their success. Different people need different things to succeed, it's your job to figure that out and try your best to provide it.
What I recommend: Figure out what kind of leader you want to be. Read as much as you can and talk to other leaders inside and outside of your company to see what works and doesn't work for them.
Finally, make sure your team has a crystal clear definition of what success is and the milestones to get there. Ensuring this understanding will help your team move in the same direction.
Good luck!

That door has no handle, no sign of a swipe card reader. Any ideas how the people who can would get that door open?
My guess...some kind of reader hidden in the door that triggers a mechanical device that lifts the panic bar (another comment's comment) or otherwise disengages some such other locking mechanism.

Cross provider sync is on our roadmap but not available yet. If you want, send me an email with some more details and I'll look into the feasibility.

I'm building TidyCloud. It's a toolset on top of common cloud storage drives to provide cross platform search, duplicate identification, security risk identification and usage statistics/analytics across your files stored in the cloud
I'm looking for beta users if you dig the idea and want to help out a feel HNer.

This may just be conjecture but it's always seemed like they are solving the wrong problem. Why aren't they looking for alternatives to parachutes which to me seem like an archaic way of doing things. In saying that, the number of different maneuvers required in landing the space shuttle definitely shows how hard this problem is.

Story time. I have tried many online videos (Youtube etc) and I really never got anyway. I had wanted to learn how to play the piano most of my life but for multiple reasons (primarily fear) I never tried with a teacher. A year ago at age 31 I serendipitously ran into a woman who turned out to be a piano teacher in my town. Long story short, I started taking lessons and now I am finally playing the piano and it feels amazing! In cannot emphasize strongly enough the benefits of having a teacher. There is no way I would have gained the skills I have from taking online courses.
In my opinion, there is nothing more valuable that being able to have someone show you when you are making mistakes and has the experience to explain how to fix them.
