I view it just like many other educational certificates. It is a positive that you have earned it. What's most important is what have you done with it and what can you do with it. Bootcamps don't change people, they just provide t

Currently using http://www.freshbooks.com Definitely not the best in terms of user experience but it has enough features I didn't know I need, that it keeps me happy. Things like multiple auto-reminders for late payments an

This is my whole problem with Bitcoin. Too many people see it through an "investment lens". Bitcoin is supposed to be a currency not an investment at it's heart: "Used as a medium of exchange for goods and services, currency is the basis fo

The Bush era tax cuts were also never meant to be permanent. That is why calling it a tax hike is disingenuous at best.

IMHO the better solution would not to store marshalled objects in the session cookie. Especially ones that you don't have direct control over. There can't be any reasonable regression-test or upgrade test that could test for this.

I think that entrepreneurship shouldn't necessarily be an end, but rather a means to an end. For some it is th end goal but I'd wage that this isn't the norm ( outside hn of course ). Figure out where you want to be in the long term and fin

Author makes some good points but comes to an incorrect conclusion. It is very important to live within your means (income + some delta > expenses). I don't think anyone would disagree with that statement. There is some debate how big t

I couldn't have said it better myself. I also only invest in a city with outstanding economic fundamentals. I could invest in more depressed areas and have higher cash flow but the risk is not worth it to me.

Yup the renters are paying down the mortgage as we speak. The beautiful thing is as you accumulate more/larger rentals the income just keeps on building on itself.

There are longer then 3-5 year mortgage terms in Canada. I believe up to 15 years is commonly offered. Amortization length of a mortgage can be up to 35 years for residential mortgages. 35 year amortizations were only eliminated for CMHC/

I bought in Edmonton, Alberta. It's not easy to find cash flowing properties. But if you are slow and methodical there are opportunities. Find a system that works for others and try to model yours after theirs. Why reinvent the wheel whe

Some of it's true some of it's not. It doesn't really matter one way or another because this site is useless. Spend more time hacking in a framework that you do enjoy instead of bitching about the ones you don't.

Is it just me or is ignoring the interview process in favour of the firing process as poor as the opposite? The best method is to weight them about equal. Have a rigorous interview process where you try to hire only the best fit. If the n
