The chart exposes one of the big problems with password managers. None of the categories measures how secure the system actually is. Have there been 3rd party security audits on each platform to check for side channels, or leaks (which version was audited)? Do the companies stand by their product by having a…

You know that time of year when all the old people from places like New York and Michigan show up and mess up your traffic patterns. That's winter.

You're right, it isn't passive aggressive, it's just aggressive. It is a accusatory question: "Are you saying my <X> isn't good enough for you?" It immediately puts the respondent in a defensive state of mind. It is a horrible example if you actually want to resolve an issue. If you really need to say something…

Instead of storming off to my room and cueing up Hulu to watch Olivia Pope's latest adventure, experts say, I should've opened up communication immediately by saying, "Are you saying my TV shows aren't your type and you'd like to watch something else?"

Its working out well, I think. They get the fun of surprise presents and also the fun of being in on the game. Although, sometimes I'm not sure if they're pretending or believing. (The line between truth and fiction seems blurred in young kids.)

Nope. My sister (among others) would tell me that, too. "You'll think differently once you have kids!" But, not really. There are some things that you change your mind about in order to make your life work, but Santa, no. We told ours that he wasn't real up front, and then, every year we asked (in November) "Do…

Obviously Pink's exact rhetoric doesn't work in every situation or on every person, but the real trick here is to figure out what another person's motivations are. Once you have that, you can work with them to come up with an actual solution.

Somehow I don't think spending an extra $50,000 on a house that is closer to work is going to be paid for by not driving as much.

Stretching first may not be the best idea. Recent research seems to show that static stretching may lead to injury. That said, warming up your muscles makes sense.

I agree with that except for "as long as there's light". There is no light; the sun sets before 5pm. In addition: Don't compact (walk or drive on) the snow before you shovel it if at all possible.

I really felt that "Getting Things Done" was horribly written but the system itself works if you can get in the habit of keeping it up.

Related to "How to Read a Book" is "The Well Educated Mind" which in addition to suggestions on reading for content and getting the most out of reading also gives suggested book lists in: Novels, History(Politics), Biography, Drama, and Poetry

If you are going to bill for the project then you need to make sure that the scope of the project is well defined. Specific pages/forms with specific functionality. You must make sure the customer understands that changes are going to be quoted and billed separately.

The value of a product is its value to the buyer. Cost has very little to do with price except as a lower limit. If the buyer thinks that 8K is a price they are willing to pay (and in the example they will be saving more than that every month) then it is a good value for them.

Writing things down word for word is not taking notes, it's taking dictation. When you take dictation you aren't actually thinking about what is said, you are just passing the words from your ears to your hand. You might try telling your daughter to only write down things that are particularly interesting or…

No, it's not opposed to GTD. The whole point of capturing everything in GTD is to get it out of your head. This is meant to relieve you of the mental burden of keeping track of everything that you're supposed to be doing so that you have the capacity to actually do it. Freeing up your mental energy is expected to…

Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil or freezer paper (or put in a ziploc that is tightly sealed). As long as it's sealed it won't freezer burn and will be fine.

You assert that it is reasonable, why do you think so? Good service is valuable, but I'm not convinced that its value exceeds $100,000/year.

Just curious. When did the expected tip go from 15% to 20%? I remember when I was young that it was 10%, but when did it go to 20?

I think that servers will, of course, say that you should always tip 20%, but I have issues with this at both the low and high extremes. At the low end, breakfast at a diner that runs $4, I'm not going to tip only 80 cents. The server did more than 80 cents worth of work just refilling my coffee. So I'm going to…
