Do you have kids? I would love to move out to the country but I'm really worried about impacting my kids ability to develop skills and build a business/social network. My parents moved out to a very small town from Toronto, Ontar

"you could sit with your back to the wall instead of to the heavily trafficked area" In many offices, you can't just re-orient your desk or choose to move.

What state/city? I'm assuming you live in the US. I live in Canada and I've never heard of a poor kids childcare of free summer camp paid for by the city even here. People talking about saving money by not spending money on

In general, I'm really starting to question any reports on salary alone once it gets past $100K/year. After that point, performance bonuses in their many forms can have such a large impact and that doesn't seem to be represen

I always thought that technical book writing wasn't about making money directly, but for up selling in other areas. I.e. improving your resume, looking prestigious to potential consulting clients, or landing paid speaking gigs.

Sorry, I'm not sure if you want me to address the colloquialism or the statement so I'll address both. "The bar is higher" essentially means that a task is more difficult than it previously was. In the past it used to be

I would argue that content still works, it's just that the bar is higher.

Ideally he won't think anything of it because I've spent so much time with him we're working side by side building his first business by that point.

I have high hopes that the time I'm investing in my kids will not only benefit them, but long term will benefit me as well. At 5 my oldest son is doing a lot of small chores around the house. He just passed the tipping point of where

Opportunity cost and the potential of leaving a good company for a potentially toxic work environment are two bad outcomes that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not saying you shouldn't try to better your position, but s

I'm not the GP, but I've helped others by sending them market rate stats etc, and talked about negotiations generally (e.g: ALWAYS negotiate an offer). Jealousy is real, it will impact your day to day relationships with people.

I'm very curious what your take is on revealing your current salary to recruiters/potential employers early. Do you tell them early to avoid wasting your time? For myself I'll just say that I've done well since I realize

This is awesome. Kudos to you. You are doing these guys a favour, but it is also very beneficial to the company in the long run. If they are good and aren't treated well then they will leave. It is as simple as that. I'm also g

I'm not arguing that users blocking ads is an issue. To me that is the same as someone deciding to not look at an ad in a magazine or tear them out/cover them up before reading the article. What they decide to do it up to them.

It may be easier to think about this in meatspace. Is it a crime for someone walking around to not look at a billboard? Of course not. Is it a crime for someone to plaster over an ad on a billboard with their own ad? It isn't explici

I'd argue that this is also stealing from the content creators or other people/companies that added actual value (e.g. group running a forum that pays for hosting with ads).

by seestheday 12y ago
I agree. This is theft. It's technical and complicated so it likely won't be ever be enforced or prosecuted, but I think this is outright stealing.

What about pellets/implants? Aren't they supposed to release more consistently over a longer period? Please excuse my ignorance on this, I am in Canada, have been blessed with naturally high T levels, and have no experience with

Unfortunately the problem is that they work too well. Every time they are legalized in a limited capacity they are abused in professional sports. The effect is massively amplified if you give women drugs because they don't have testos

Relying solely on a helmet seems like a really bad idea. I recommend learning how to fall using your hands/forearms and not damage them at the same time. Martial arts training (judo would be a good one) can help a lot here. There are

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but there are thousands of banks in the US [1]. Getting rid of all of them except for a single federal bank is a gargantuan task. 1. http://online.wsj.com/articles&#x

I think you're radically underestimating the entrenched interests that are at play here.

I'm shocked that you value your free time so low. Let's do the math. There are 24 hours in a day. You should be sleeping for ~8 of those leaving 16. Assuming you are supposed to be at the office for 8 hours (pipe dream, but let&#x

As a parent from Canada I feel so sorry for parents in the US. That you consider only 12 weeks as "abuse" is even more depressing.

In Canada those rights are extended to the man. It's called paternity leave. The parent even mentions that he split the leave with his partner. There are still cultural barriers resulting in many men not taking the leave, but at leas

Honestly, once you learn 5 or 6 languages/frameworks they get really easy to learn. There is not a lot that is truly new with different frameworks, just different combinations of the same things.

Honestly, it wouldn't take you long to get the skills if you could get access and were a decent programmer already. One of the problems with these sorts of systems though is that it's not like they're open source and easily

Big investment banks pay well. Big consumer banks, not so much, at least in Canada. I was shocked at how low some of the laughable salary offers I received were.
