It doesn't seem all that different from scaring a herd of buffalo into running off a cliff. No reason that we need to by flying to spring the trap on wild resources. > Fish Farming seems more sustainable. It does seem like any major

I personally am drawn to this idea. $100k seems arbitrary though. I would like to see it adjusted for the COL of an average American family. Would you happen to have any reading material or studies related to this tax scheme?

I just wanted to highlight this comment. The rating review systems are becoming a trusted source of information more so than advertisements. Reminds me of another comment on here that talked about how so much of tech is solving communicatio

It's interesting to read this. I wonder if you would change your mind if $5,000 would make or break your business. The odds of that happening are small, but still possible. These odds of needing a full spec'd machine are also smal

Org-Mode is great but not perfect. I would be willing to pay a significant amount of money for anyone that can reproduce most of the features of org-mode outside of emacs in a light-weight format. It doesn't seem like it would be that

3 - 5 cups of coffee per day. And an average of 3 beers per night. Once or twice per year I tend to take 1 - 4 weeks off from alcohol and taper down on caffeine significantly. .. sometimes down to no caffeine. It's rough going for a fe

Okay you have my interest. Could you expand on why you would like to see desktops with laptops for a VM? Would the laptop borrowing happen on a night by night basis? Wouldn't you expect some employees to always take the laptops home. G

If you can get away with it, Xero Shoes: Z-Trail is a perfect "shoe" if the weather is over 50f. Although I completely understand that they are not for everyone, everyday. But I highly recommend anyone needing a pair of durable&#x

I'm not sure about mobile friendly. You could probably use just about any template and hire a freelancer to touch it up. But I just want to put my vote in for Jekyll. Makes static site generation a breeze and I use it for any site that

Airflow might be primarily intended for workflows, but scheduling is fairly robust. But you also say that you want more than just simple Cron so I suggest taking another look. What I really appreciate about Airflow is that it is self docume

I'm worn out on articles dissing the performance of SQL databases without quoting any hard numbers and then proceeding to replace the systems with no thanks of development in the latest and great tech. I have nothing against spark, but

Chrome tends to perform better than Firefox handsdown on my 2015 mbPro. I went back and tried both the developer edition and the stable release after seeing this post because I want to move away from google as much as possible. But the fact

I know that years of experience is just supposed to be a guideline in these cases, as we all know that YoE doesn't directly correlate with ability to perform. But the difference between your Senior Engineers and your Engineers is 1 yea
