This is one of my favorite features of Soylent and the like. If I drink 2-3 bottles a day, I know I can have one avg sized meal and/or snack and still be under a reasonable daily calorie ceiling.
though it definitely doesn't solve your limited menu point, I've always found getting 70% or so of my calories from soylent to be way more sustainable than eating the same regular foods every day.
For non-technical: I've always thought Buffer[0] and Hubspot[1] were fantastic resources for SEO, marketing, etc. Hubspot even writes extensively on how to write content for SEO/SEM, which is sort of meta.
For technical: Stripe[2] is a popular answer to this question. I also like Auth0[3], especially b/c they often have content that isn't just meant to market their services (eg this tutorial on k8s[4])
got my MBA, _then_ learned to code while trying to build a startup, so became 'technical' and 'managerial' at about the same time.
I think my MBA taught me how to view the business at a systems level. When you consider the various financial and performance metrics that managers look at, a business is just another engineering problem.
w/o the MBA, I'm not sure when I would've learned that way of thinking.
I run an MBA admissions site on the side and did some analysis on this.
tl;dr if you are confident an MBA can create a step increase in annual comp of even $10k, the cost is more than covered over the remainder of your career.
Hire a tax preparer. It costs more than doing it yourself, but I find we often discount the cognitive cost of just doing a thing when considering whether to outsource stuff.
In other words, build / use systems to minimize the impact of your own limitations on your responsibilities.
AF vet, and frequently frustrated by this taboo. It's so contrary to the interests of everyone except the employer, but folks become visibly uncomfortable whenever talk of comp comes up.
Well, the American folks anyway. I work with a lot of Europeans, and they don't seem to share the norm.
Saying a curtailment of federal authority is necessarily a good thing makes you sound like an ideologue.
Government isn't intrinsically good or bad, and there is no ideal amount of it. Case by case we should decide when the public's interests are served by having a voice in a marketplace besides the money we spend.
I find this "personal responsibility" narrative interesting (and, full disclosure: also bullshit), since it reminds me of sports discussions--everyone has a strong opinions, they're nearly all un-falsifiable, and they almost always appeal to notions that no one disagrees with.
i.e., no one actually thinks that actions ought not have consequences. Arne Duncan et al weren't trying to 'un-teach discipline' or whatever, they were trying to address secondary problems around discipline.
I love Google's ngram viewer for context here. Use of the phrase "personal responsibility" _skyrocketed_ around the late 80s[1], more or less matching the rise of the right-wing "bootstraps" narrative.
During the period covered in the ngram viewer (late 80s to 2000), the number of people in American prisons more than doubled[2]. In fact, it continued to rise precipitously until--you guessed it--circa 2008, where it finally plateaued (after more than tripling since 1988).
So, I dunno, maybe this is my bleeding heart talking, but if "unteaching personal responsibility" means "putting fewer people in prison," sign me up for the next lesson.
The highest roi I ever found for critical thinking enhancement was LSAT prep.
Specifically, the logical reasoning section has you evaluate a series of arguments and answer (often tricky) questions about the argument--analogizing, finding flaws, etc.
Formal books etc are fine, but if this were programming, I'd say dive in and write code. Imo LSAT prep is the 'write code' in this instance.
head(less)s up: the links in the footer of your docs are busted. it looks like they all point to an `/en/` route but the actual URLs include no such tier.
My guess is he's being singled out because many (esp. on the left) view him as intellectually disingenuous. He came to prominence as a 'thought leader,' leaning heavily on Ayn Rand's objectivism to inform his 'small government' politics.
ETA: actually, it's more likely the author thinks Ryan's preferred policies are cruel, not that he's disingenuous.
Any takes on what FL's incentive is here? With no state income tax, and with the relatively modest # of people employed by funds, why target investment funds?
