Quotes of the Day

Job-hopping works best when the economy is strong and there are plenty of job vacancies employers need to fill. That isn’t to say you can’t hop your way to better pay in an economic downturn. But, generally speaking, you’re likely to have less negotiating power in a job market with high unemployment and few openings. Software developers and staff accountants who’d never quit turned out to earn 10 percent less than the job-hoppers in their field. But operations managers and administrative assistants who had stayed put were earning around 20 percent more than new hires. For nurses, there wasn’t much of a difference between job switchers and job stayers. [2021] - Erica Alini

There are two practices that I try do every week. The first is the 5BX program developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force. I also do a session of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) once a week. I settled on a 9½-minute HIIT workout that I've adapted from one descripted by fitness expert Clarence Bass. Here's how it goes: 1) 3-minute easy warmup; 2) 30 seconds all-out sprint; 3) 1½ minutes easy recovery; 4) 30 seconds all-out sprint; 5) 1½ minutes easy recovery; 6) 30 seconds all-out sprint; 7) 2 minutes easy cool-down. [2021] - Philip Shepherd

Moving average crossovers are notorious for false trend reversal signals. [2009] - Robert C. Miner

One simple but invaluable technique is to listen carefully to the words people use. People tend to use over and over key words that denote the values at the top of their hierarchy. [1989] - Anthony Robbins

Instead of theoretically spotting cancer at its earliest microscopic stage, MRI can only detect cancer once it exceeds a certain mass size; it's macroscopic and even less likely to find a tumor early than the micro testing. The chance that an abnormal MRI could promote "incidentalomas," benign findings such as nonmalignant nodule or cyst, is high: a meta-analysis of all the studies indicates that it occurs in at least 19% of people. That, along with the lack of sufficient evidence, is why the American College of Radiology recommends against total body-screening MRIs. [2025] - Eric Topol
