The argument I have heard is corporate profits are already taxed. The capital gains tax + corporate profit tax roughly equals normal income tax. Personally, I'd prefer higher capital gains tax and lower corporate tax. I think it would

I use my cameras to check in on my cat when I am out of town. Typically a friend only visits briefly once a day and I get peace of mind out of knowing that the cat is eating. If the cat was not eating, I'd ask a friend to take it to t

I think this calculator is counting "State/Local Income Taxes" as a credit instead of a deduction. Input a salary of $60,000 and a $6300 deduction into "State/Local Income Taxes". $6300 was the single filer sta

In my experience, yes. I previously took it for alcoholism. I found it very broad acting. I stopped drinking compulsively. I also became indifferent overeating, smoking cigarettes, sex, and pretty much everything else compulsive. I've

In the last month I've used hotels.com twice because it was lower than booking directly. In SF: Hotels.come was $180/night, hotel's website was over $300/night. In Copenhagen: Hotels.com was $120/night, the hotel&#x

I don't think consumer software has been that valuable in my lifetime. MS Office, & Turbo Tax are killer apps that people pay for. People willingly pay for online games too. Other than that? I guess some people buy apps. I don&#x27

I think knowing the hardware is less challenging than previously. The trend is to make everything whitebox and then abstract as software. Hypervisors replace supporting many hardware configurations and software defined SANs replace dedicate

The Google dataset might not be the best for measuring this. Names and abbreviations rank highly. I think Warren Buffet might help contribute to the high ranking of 'warren'.

How is the response time? I thought using my 40" 4k Samsung TV had too much "mouse lag" for desktop use.

I host my static website using Firebase and Google Domains. Google has easy integration between the two and seems to include all the listed benefits out-of-box.

IIRC just because it boots with ECC ram doesn't mean it is actually error correcting. I'm under the impression Intel spends considerable amount of money to prove their memory controllers actually error correct & historically A

Sounds like you might be better off using Jenkins than roll your own. I use Jenkins over cron when I want easier auditing & authentication. I got the idea to use Jenkins as a 1-size fits all hammer from https://www.cloudbees.

Anyone know the origin of the name they chose? Did they name their bot after the rapper Percy Miller?

I was loyal to AMD's CPU from 1999 - 2013. Price and not nerfing advanced features (overclocking, VM extentions) kept me coming back. However, there aren't many recent server/workstation options. So I begrudgingly switched ov

I tried using FreeBSD 11 and XFCE as my development platform. Good: XFCE worked OOB with Intel graphics outputting displayport to a 2560 x 1080 display. Bad: Video playback in VLC and FireFox was choppy. Not sure if the AMD FirePro or AMD Q

I agree on the hardware side. However, more times than not I have to fight with the video playback tearing or dropping frames. I've had least amount of problems with ElementaryOS, but that distro has stability problems that counteract

Enterprise: Solaris and use zones. Internal/Personal/POC: FreeBSD 11 and use jails. Both get you ZFS and something lighter-weight than VMs. Need Linux? Bite the bullet and use VMs.

Thanks for posting this. This is the best perspective & concrete advice on DSU I've seen. I'm not a big fan of going through the motions, but understanding why we go through the motions changes my outlook.

Devil's advocate: I like it when ads have the technologies as keywords. Preferably listed explicitly & directly. I have arbitrary preferences like Apache Camel v Spring Integration & Ansible v Puppet. I'm not on the market

@teams that have tried this, Do you find problems with bridging background knowledge across roles? For instance, you have programmers with 5+ years experience reading/writing code. They understand basic data-structures & design pat

I'm not sure it is just startups. I think larger/more established companies fit into this too, but they may just be emulating hip startups. I work at a 100-500 person company. I do not attend most company events because of the amo

No matter how tight you make the stand up, it still creates an artificial time to do a disruptive start/stop. A 5 minute meeting really leads to close to an hour of derailment. http://paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html
