I didn't read this paper, but I never understood why players who get into foul trouble are pulled from games. I guess the only explanation is that players play differently after a few fouls. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to take someone out so that you don't have to take them out in the future.
This poster didn't say that anyone could be good at staying at home. They said anyone can stay at home. I think this is true and don't understand the downvotes.
I'm curious if I can tell the difference between good coffee and bad. Where can I go in Austin, TX to get a great cup of coffee, and what should I order?
If I can't tell the difference between the good stuff and the stuff I usually drink, then there is no need to go through the fuss, however, I'd love to have an awakening.
We should all really be thinking in terms of sustainable competitive advantages. Serious question: How can a startup software company create a sustainable competitive advantage?
Many times, I have been stuck on a programming problem at the end of the day. Many times, I come in and solve it immediately first thing in the morning. This leads me to believe I think more clearly in the mornings. Anyone else have this happen?

I took 14 hours of calculus in my EE undergrad. Reading posts like this remind me that I really enjoy studying math outside of school. In school, I had to learn so much, so fast, that I couldn't appreciate the beauty, nor take time to ponder the wider implications of what I was learning.
Many times, I have thought about opening my Salas and Hille's Calculus book and just starting over from the beginning. Anyone ever done anything like this? Any opinions on a better starting book for someone in my shoes?
I have upvoted you for a very insightful and resourcful reply. The term "business" is big, kind of like the term "engineering" is big. Would you also say that studying engineering is harmful to a startup?
It is one thing to say that an MBA won't help you much with your start-up, but it is another to say it is detrimental. Other than the prejudice of investors, I just don't understand why education of any kind is harmful as long as it isn't filling your head with lies.
So suffice it to say that I disagree with my hero, pg, about the value of an MBA. I can tell you that I personally have gained greatly from the experience, and that I'm better at all facets of business (even startups) because of it.
Insightful: all reasonably designed competitive games share three basic traits:
1. ambiguity of optimal play
2. diversity of play
3. allowance for skill
I can tell that you aren't into cars. People that are into cars really get a lot more than the A to B utility. they identify with cars. They drive them for the sake of driving. They race. They accessorize. They like the way driving their car makes them feel. I'm not a car guy myself, so I can't elaborate, however, I know some of these people, and they think computers are mostly "single purpose". It is all about perspective.
Bring your boss options, not problems. Your boss has plenty of problems. Don't add to the collection. When you bring options, you also get the chance to influence the direction of the company. One problem at a time.
