natarius4k··on How Facebook Tries to Prevent Office Politics
No, manager can't prevent you from switching to any other team or even start a team on your own. The idea behind this is that it ensures that talent naturally gravitates towards teams with most impact. Managers have no say!

Let me know what you think

natarius4k··on A Simple Hack to Stick to Any Goal… Using a Rubber Band
Consumers are not rational!

Specially on kickstarter people buy impulsive and want to be part of something.

The Coca-Cola recipe is publicly known for a long time and cheaper copies are available...but people keep buying The original.
