This is not an apples to apples comparison. You're expecting people to run their own server? Add in costs to maintain the server, learning how to upload files, any downtime or wrong setup costs are on the user. You can say $399 is rans

Too bad it's only Engineering in Palo Alto. Plenty of talented engineers in Phoenix, Nashville and other locations you have offices in. Hopefully you'll expand that, until then no interest in returning to the Bay Area.

You should give WestCoastRoasting a try. I picked up a few lbs awhile back, they're out of LA. Good variety and excellent pulls of espresso.

I have no frame of reference for that pay. Is the pay low or normal? Is the main issue the required 6 days/week?

You have essentially a listing site for Visa friendly jobs. Your UI/UX is fine. Similar website to yours - Craigslist.com and their UI is awful. Focus on how you'll make money, how you can improve the product offering and other th

Maybe. They're a fixed one time cost though, and I imagine that it's much easier to avoid being detected if you're running on your own hardware as opposed to VMs.

You're pushing yourself past any physical limits to achieve an incredible task. It's the same concept of why we're wowed by NFL players on Sunday and why we viewed lance armstrong as a "god" because of his biking ab

Do you usually get this defense on an open Internet forum? I was on reduced lunch as well for many years at my school, and out of the 70ish kids in our AP "block" format(2 hours, same room, co-teachers) only 3 other kids were on r

Very rarely do I actually lol but I just chuckled so hard in a meeting. Yeah, you guessed it. An agile meeting.

Omg. Bookmarking this. Had the chance to take a job overseas but had no idea how to transport my animal. I clearly failed at googling, and the thought of a cruise ship never crossed my mind.

I agree with you but comparing VIM to Atom or IntelliJ or Visual Studio is an orange to apple comparison.

Fascinating articles. Thanks for the share. I need to look into this further. I do openly admit that I do believe that grit is one of the most fundamental elements of individual success but I do think also that the distribution of intellect

I'd be willing to bet that if a survey was done showing the % of those in AP classes who are on free/reduced lunch would be significantly less than those of a general education class.

The issue goes much deeper than "anyone" can go to college. Their is a huge education disparity between wealthy zip codes and poor zip codes. So, yes you were in an AP English class. How many of your fellow classmates do you think

Highly unlikely. You do not cause this level of pricing swings in an A/B test. Additionally, A/B testing this much of a price swing heavily discounts the value of the tool.

It looks quite good! In all fairness, I wanted to make sure your points were heard clearly and I felt the tongue in cheek comments distracted from the clear explanation of how the author was offbase and incorrect. Looking forward to the fut

I agree. In general, I aim to never use emojis within a post like this because that leaves too much up in the air for interpretation. I did find it a bit high horse, and subtle jabs, albeit still jabs at the original article's author.

One could make the argument that without apple, M$ wouldn't have achieved as much. Less competitors, less focus on initiatives and innovation. You could argue that part of the reason that Apple hasn't been that innovative the last

Programs like edX are making this a reality. Education does not have to be expensive and the sooner we realize that most college degrees are worthless in their practical application in the workforce the better off we will be.

The perceived value of a degree may live in its exclusivity, but real value is any degree as still to this day a degree is a checkbox for many decent paying jobs. The net result will indeed be better employment opportunities, as it opens up

Again, n=1 but I've experienced and have friends who have experienced around 50 hours/week for mid/later stage startups. The stress is lower because you usually have more cash flow or significant rounds that make the work mor

To an extent, yes. However, I would say typical early stage startup work is 55 hours/week. Basically 10 hours day through the week, and a couple hours on the weekend.

"Need to know" might be a stretch but you should be familiar with it. There's several times I've come across something in R or Matlab that I want to do in Python, and it's easier to port over code/processes if

What does your son want to do? In all honesty, I would let him make the decision if he wants to go to university or not. There is tremendous value in an undergraduate degree outside of just the education. It's the formative years for a

The Inner Game of Tennis. My tennis coach gave me his copy, from the mid 80s, which was tattered and had clearly been read many, many times. It taught me so much about life, and how to be successful. My tennis coach was also my life coach w
