Your fortune 500 company pays $250-400k total compensation to young coders (2-9 yrs experience)? Which company is it? You don't? Then you're not paying more or less the same...

You can even offer 0 equity, but pretty sure if you offer a $180k salary you'll have a flock of new grads apply. The reason you're not getting enough new grads is probably because your compensation isn't competitive enough.

To answer your question, yes, pay in SF/CA/USA definitely outweighs the increased cost of living. Software engineers here are paid more than anywhere else in the world. It makes sense though since the wealthiest tech companies in

I think the eye damage is more to do with looking at something of fixed distance for long periods of time (computers, tvs, tablets, & phones). A person living in a dense forest would still be constantly adjusting his/her focus.

Why are there so many people excited to do this? Don't they realize it'll be a copy/digital clone of them? Even if they could upload a digital representation of a person's brain without the person dying, it would still b

So if someone said they'd shoot you in your sleep, but replace you with a clone with your memories and give that clone $100. You'd do it?

An NBA player or Hollywood actor takes years of training and dedication, and hours upon hours of time investment. A youtuber only needs a fraction of that, and how well or poorly you're doing (views/subscribers) is instantly verif

I would say most video games do not have fast/easy rewards. There may be numerous small wins scattered throughout the completion of most games, but I would argue it's not much different from the distribution of small wins you coul

I don't think dedicated mentorship is required for junior devs. There's usually code reviews in which they can pick up on a lot, a mountain of resources online, and there's nothing stopping them from asking for help/opin

A country can outlaw cryptocurrencies from their country, but the rest of the world won't simply follow suit. With countries like Japan or Korea embracing cryptocurrencies, it's unrealistic to think they'll become "RPG p

It's not currently possible to have a crypto with 0 fees that's both distributed/non-centralized as well as very secure against attacks. If there is, Bitcoin can easily incorporate the technology.

The Bitcoin bubble has already burst, multiple times in fact. From the high point of $31 all the way to $2 in Dec 2011. From $266 to $130 in May 2013. From $1200 to $200 in Mar 2015. From $5000 to $2900 in Sep 2017. From $7300 t

Coinhive estimates that a user with a mid-range laptop would have a hashrate of 30 h/s. 10 minutes of mining = 30 * 10 * 60 = 18,000 hashes Since Coinhive pays out 0.000090 XMR per million hashes (current rate as of Dec 11. 2017), that
