tl;dr: Rape culture is human nature. To counter rape culture we need to get a religion.

Amazon need to increase its profit. The best way without increasing price from the already steep discount compared listing price are have better discount from huge volume publisher. Publisher balk as their profit margin will be affected. Amazon increase price due to no better term. That is purely logical business decision.

However, the extending shipping time as a punishment part from amazon is not.

(Disclaimer: i work for publisher and a writer myself)

Why on earth i did not have read anywhere about USPTO officials return a letter to this so called patent troll with simple reply: "Explain this pattern in layman language."

USPTO officials should have the power to inquire pattern applicants about their pattern until complete understanding, not to work alone and try to understand it by them self. It is hard to understand something technical, and it is utmost difficult to try understanding technical stuff with only 'lawyer' language as interface.

The fact is, many of this pattern applicant try to hide their 'Obviousness' of their pattern behind lawyered up and jargon filled language that proven to be hard to understand and open to misinterpretation.

Look for passion AND self-control. We do not want somebody who keep using wrong tools for the job.

I prefer to be passionate about tools on hobby project, understand the real implications and usage before commit to use it in project on the job.

Malcolm specifically said that "it takes 10000 hours of deliberate practice to achieve mastery."

There are two component here: 1) 10000 hours and 2) deliberate practice.

What op present us are "you can ditch 10000 hours because deliberate practice is enough" but when you go through the article it shows that all test subject were trained for very narrow set of mastery for short time period (bean bag tossing, microsurgey) or very wide set of mastery for long period of time (football play)

If wordpress is not capable enough for you it is either 1) what you are trying to do is not within scope of normal web interaction or 2) you have very limited experience using wordpress.

you need to consult a web developer that you trust for these issue.

Interesting. From what i understand:

- Lean startup (eric ries): big picture/map for startup

- Product/Market fit: you have found a scalable business model

- Bmc: tool to quickly mockup a business model and its feasibilty

- Job to be done: tool to understand customer problem space systematically.

Now, pick the right tool for the right job.

And i thought the article will somehow tell us that jeresig argument to code everyday was wrong.

i genuinely thought that the article should do justice by putting the same effort as jeresig post. Yeah OP argument that "CEO job is not only coding" is not wrong but i expect OP will argue that "code is not the onpy thing developer like jeresig do" based on the headline.

This is not a sentence anymore. This is manslaughter.
