https://deeringdavis.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/things-im-better-at-now
Just ask this (social) scientician. Posted by: Jenn Deering Davis. December 6, 2010. 8 (startup) things I’m better at now that I’m 30.

A blog about programming and my life. Archive for July, 2008. July 27, 2008. I attended Tea Party by TeaBreak.pk. Today and all I can say that it was a “Mind blogging experience” :).

Here are few snaps:. From Teabreak TeaP…. From Teabreak TeaP…. Mubarak ho - 1 week ago.

That assessment is mathematically correct, but psychologically wrong. Many things that don’t look optimal are in fact optimal. Once you take the necessary constraints into account&...
