I love sheepdog startups which are like grandma sleeper cars with 1000 hp under the hood. Innovating in an area others dismiss, and killing it.

The used cars section in Consumer Reports is invaluable to avoid white elephants. Also, take a candidate vehicle to your mechanic before finalizing a deal.

In America, hospitals mostly charge whatever they want.

Bots and unthinking cyberdisinhibited people competively flame and troll whomever is the current punching-bag for brownie points, schadenfreude and negative attention seeking behavior.

For those actually needing scalable, resilient nosql, CouchBase ia worth evaluating.

Magical thinking apparently includes freedom from respecting laws and ethics, and cheaping out on family planning for more magical "reasons."

I thought it was Breitbart, Danger & Play or InfoWars, but it's good to know Pando sinks below WaPo, BuzzFeed and Gawker levels.

This happens all the time. Twitter-dramatic people rachet up their Karpman Drama Triangle histrionics against celebrities to try to get something juicy to up their social media currency. Sama deals with this every day.

Effort and results may not be enough because real life isn't a meritocracy. Insecure manangers worry they'll promote someone whom could be promoted past them as their new boss instead of them getting promoted (promotions as win-loss), save some money on their P&L by BS under-promoting people or pigeonholed someone as a worker role instead of mentoring/trialing them for managing or leading. These and other nonperformance factors can high-peforming staff surrounded by communication major managers.

I jailbroke for these reasons:

GuizmoDNS - OpenDNS+DNSCrypt

TetherMe - free tethering

Pandora Downloader

Pandora Skips

Unrestrictor 3G - Remove IAS and other limits by fooling apps into thinking they are on Wi-Fi.

Bytafont2 with Futurama font

iTransmission - torrent client

Also nice were bandwidth meter in the status bar, Fake Carrier, Five Icon Dock and Freeman's work porting aptitude, yum and deb packaging to iOS to make installing tweaks and apps easy.

It's a shame that Apple doesn't provide more app/os integration, customization and middleware hooks.

Never be around or communicate 1:1 with a woman you don't know alone. Always be with other people whom could be witnesses or with a clear paper-trail. Furthermore, keep "getting to know" questions to safe, nonintrusive topics for anyone new. Strangers are potential liabilities until proven otherwise.

Yes and ask HR for honest feedback, specifically for improving one's professionalism. They most likely won't do it, but let them be the one to be unprofessional.

Anonymous sources can say you're a pedophile and I'm a canabal hatchet murderer, and face no consequences for making false claims.

Furthermore, for those with very thin skins (SJWs) whom see microaggressions everywhere, it's fine for them to use whatever tools are available because the ends justifies the means, as a person, in their mind, is guilty merely for being born with innate identity privilege attributes. SJW behavior is disproportionate retribution combined with stereotyping.
