What does it mean by "A good company to work for"?

Any company where your direction is somewhat aligned with your goals is a good company. This alignment is expected to be never perfect. Even your own goals may have conflicts and may not be self aligned perfectly. So being paid little may not be an absolute indication that the company you work for is not a good company, though it may be a factor to consider. There are many factors come into play and with different priorities for different people. Factors The people around you are the sort of people you like to be working with, this includes boss, colleagues, subordinates and clients. The work you do match with your interests and capabilities. The work itself is fulfilling. You are paid right. This does not necessarily mean that the highest possible payment would make the company a good company or that a low paying company is a bad one. Also, you are paid on time. Yes, time value of money is a real thing and every one has cash flow requirements. You have job security. People do ge...

ڈاکو آنے چاہیئیں

میرے گھر کا چوکیدار جس کو میں تنخواہ دیتا ہوں مجھ سے کیسے بڑھ جاتا ہے اور مجھ کو ہی وہ دھمکاتا ہے جب بھی ڈاکو گھر میں آئیں لڑنا اس کو پڑجاتاہے لیکن جب ڈاکو نہ آئیں مجھ سے کیسے بڑھ جاتاہے اور مجھ کو ہی وہ دھمکاتا ہے میرے گھر کا چوکیدار جس کو میں تنخواہ دیتا ہوں سفر ۱۹۹۷/۲/۷

Backing up your backup on Amazon Glacier

You would know the value of their digital assets. More so, you would also know the value of backing up your digital assets. There are various threats to your digital assets, each with different risks* and impacts.Hardware failure is the most imminent, followed by accidental software actions. The way most people do backup is to make multiple copies of their data on external hard drives and or DVDs, or perhaps tape drives, in this order of possibility since this is the order of ease of use. Which would work good against hardware failures and accidents, These however would not save the data in case of physical crisis: fire, flood, theft etc. Physical threats (fire, flood and theft etc), however lower their risk may be, still have a risk. Some people do backup on the cloud, making zips and uploading it to their free email accounts. And now there is a plethora of cloud storage. Though cloud storage may work, but given the ever increasing amount of data, this can be proh...

Putting Ideas in the public

I have a gift (or a curse); I can think on many different fronts at the same time, often too many. One of those fronts is technical / business ideas. There is a ever growing list of ideas that come to my mind. And I want to make use of each of those. However realizing that I have been not so productive with these ideas. I spend too much time in generating and enhancing these Ideas and contemplating on them and do not focus enough to get through with them to convert them into value. And I know Ideas do not have any value unless they get used. Lately I have been thinking about this and I thought instead of keeping the ideas to myself in hope that I will get time and focus to implement them why don't I put those Ideas on the web to the public. This got me thinking.... However, some part of me does not want to let go of the ideas, I see business potentials in many of the these ideas and being a normal person, I wish I could get some benefit out of it. However, I know that s...
