Quite ironic they suggest we use "demanding or entitled White woman" instead of "Karen". Isn't a Karen actually a "a female of European descent struggling with mental conditions of entitlement?"

Today its glasses of water by the sink, tomorrow it's "you have to sanitize the car steering wheel after you drive," and eventually it's "don't get close to me if you walked by the bus stop." I feel sorry

You have not really given us enough information to suggest the best solution. For example, is this because you host many websites for other people who all use your custom nameservers? Either way, if you are hosting many sites with custom n

While I agree that 200K in debt for a BA in English is not a wise choice, there's a whole class of families that can afford the 200K out of pocket, and will happily pay it for a top school. I have a child, and will do it for the follo

Getting from zero to paying one's living expenses is probably the most difficult growth phase of any start-up. In my personal experience, this phase is best funded by technical debt. I suspect this is an unpopular opinion because cle

My friend, you are not lost -- you are free. From what I can tell, you have your health, your youth (35 is still young) and you have some savings. If you don't have a mortgage, kids, a spouse, and a job you cannot leave, then you are

The building has all the charm of a temperature-controlled storage facility, which sadly, is what it seems to be.

That first feeling for true financial independence is different for everyone, I guess. For me it's having enough to pay for unexpected medical bills and children.

It does not require an invasion unfortunately. It only requires a naval blockade, which would effectively starve the island until they concede to defeat.

The logo and typesetting is quite ok. But the "Our Photostyle" idea is just plain bad/confusing.

Since we are sharing stories... I moved to East Asia, which can be an adult daycare for Western alcoholics, and realized not only could I drink every night of the week and still have a job, healthcare, significant other, and lots of friends

You are correct. I suppose it could be an unreviewed NPM dependency causing this ;)

This is what happens when you dynamically insert your CSS tag in the head after the DOM loads.

To better remove the criticism, add some honesty and objectivity... "One of the first things I would think of, when trying to solve a problem like this, would be sshd. But, I may not understand the full scope of your problem."

More anecdotal...my mother-in-law is mid-70s. Retired for the last 20 years. Plays mahjong all day. Sharp as a tack, along with her mahjong friends.

This is affecting my websites that use cloudfront, for which Amazon apparently uses their own Route 53 for DNS (nslookup -query=ns cloudfront.net). Since the only way to call remote assets from cloudfront as a website asset is to use: xyz.

Isn't this one of the surprising parts of growing old? As a young person you may feel that your future self will be attended by loving family members and caring friends. But, once you become a "head of household" or head of

Yes, but move to a country with an economy drastically less developed than your own, and your fortunes may change.

It's a short trip between 15 and 18 years old. Treat a 15 year old like a baby, and they'll be making up for lost time their first year away from home. A 15 year deserves a smart phone, but should respect the house rules on when

The S&P reconstitutes itself four times a year. But, imagine that your scenario worked anyways -- the investor would have less than $1000 since the S&P index missed the recovery of Acme Inc. But considering the largest constituent

Welcome to the world of high consequence tax filing! As you may already know, penalty severity for tax mistakes are pegged to the dollar amount. This includes very large fines and possible prison time for "willfully" incorrect t

Obviously concerning. Care you provide more details on this? I respect your desire to stay anon, but any details to add some color would be great. For example, did you completely leave Digital Ocean, and if so, where did you go?

Completely agree. But, I think this begs another question -- why does venture capital thrive in the USA so well as opposed to Asia? Is it a cultural thing? or a fundraising thing?

Hopefully Google will see this and better understand why Microsoft is beating them in cloud services. When I moved about a TB of S3 data into their cloud storage (as a cross-vendor backup) one of their product evangelists called me just to
