Can't comment on Linux - but curious if the location was discovered as well if the erase process had started? And if so, did you report it to the police?

Without reading all the comments (I'm sure there is great advice). The older you get the more structured your life gets. Startup cofounder, husband, dad of 2 (10 & 7 now...), Ironman, runner, endurance cyclist. Focus on the importa

Best of luck to the Kaggle team. We attended a data scientist conference they presented at in 2012 which led to our YC application, and formation for SimpleLegal. Hats off...

This. It is very possible to fly without ID. Have done it several times due to lost wallet/id. Takes longer. And there is more verification. But def possible.

Slight clarification - my point wasn't to keep a car 10 years. I bought it when it was 4 years old. Kept it 5. Looking to trade it in (it's actually still worth right around what I paid because of the low mileage), but my next ca

Americans are also foolishly suckered into believing they need a new car every few years. It's not a phone. A car should last 10 years and there is absolutely no reason to buy new unless you have money to burn. My truck is going on 10

Agree that it's ambiguous. I fired it up and saw a new play mode available today (rally free run).... so not new levels, but new gameplay option.

Does it need more content? As it is, we've become spoiled by endless content and $0.99 cent games. Half the 1 star reviews for this game are that it's too expensive or too easy. My only gripe is the lack of family sharing and the

I bought an Apple Watch 2 with hopes of it being a good enough running watch at least for casual runs (an upgrade to my 310xt). Instead I returned it and got a Fenix 3. Bring on the ultras.

Hourly billing is (very slowly) going away. Fixed fee arrangements will be king (people want predictability). So then a lawyer will want to be as efficient as possible. The legal industry is admittedly behind the times, but they do continue

But they are. Because those are the difference between saving money per month and not. Disposable income is where we make a choice. We save it or spend it.

Agreed. I was merely comparing my situation. I am still (but barely) in my 30's and have a family of 4. And I agree about the SoCal thing (though there are smaller houses to be found, I lived in 1400 sqft in Orange County. But they are

SimpleLegal is not working on immigration. You may be thinking of Simplecitizen. Teleborder also tried. Along with many other non-YC companies. It's not a easy problem. Source: am cofounder of SimpleLegal

The sense of entitlement is a lot higher these days. I grew up in a 900 sqft house with 1 bathroom. Yet all my peers (myself included) seek out homes 2x, 3x or bigger. Same with cars.... my parents bought used, reliable cars. Today we want

If this goes through, best of luck to everyone from Pebble and Fitbit. Hardware is tough, but we all need it.

Is this where you want to be? Are loyal to the job, value the position? Then stick it out, understanding it will likely be tough to find a new gig. If you don't want to be working at a place that makes you uneasy, then move on. Control

They start with letters. It takes a lot if ignoring before they seize your assets.

I got several of these calls. Transcript of the voicemail. It's comical. Sad that some fell for it. I'm just glad the local cops didn't show up and take me into custody. >>>>> Mission team of IRS we have just r

Another option is that someone says they will post it, or asks to post it, and invites their friends to up vote. So the author may be standing by.

That's why we buy $3800 Zipps. Though they are both aero and light. That said, got mine used for $1800. Sold them 2 years later for.... $1850.

Assuming you have enough money to survive the rest of your life, then retire. If not, you'll be back. And understand it gets harder with age. Want a family? those 16 hr days to run that business get nearly impossible. Want to return to

My sentiment is that after salaries most of the VC money gets funneled to landlords, lawyers, and subsidized food/food delivery.

Same can be said for the surrounding areas of some of the other cities on the list.
