I like that idea. Trying a slightly different approach, and searched on indeed.com for "mathematics" and "$50,000" (filters for jobs that are supposedly 50K USD and up per year). Jobs on the first page: - Mathematician

Not trying to troll here... The biggest violation might simply be the size of the attorney bills related to using GPL licensed dependencies in your code. There's simply no great way that I've found to get attorneys to give you a

To go a step further, Amazon no longer allows one to buy a Chromecast on Amazon.com. This alone makes me mad at Amazon.

I'd stop going to work if they stopped paying me. Every unit of comp I am paid (and don't spend) now is 1+ units of comp I don't need to earn later. All other things being equal, getting paid more is frikkin' awesome.

Earlier this year I was trying to reach the IRS, and couldn't get through via phone after N attempts with no email options. I called my congressperson, complained, and got it resolved through an aide in my congressperson's office

If the police didn't blatantly seize assets , you wouldn't need to hide & fail to mention a sizeable amount of cash. Taking advantage those who, post-seizure, cannot afford to make a case for themselves is the opposite of &qu

I pay $1550 for a small studio in SF. My neighbor pays less than $300 for his apartment, which is the same size as mine. I've lived there since 2016, he has lived there since 1985-ish.

If resurrecting dinosaurs via ancient DNA could possibly be a thing (pretty sure it can't), I wonder how big dinosaurs could get on the moon. I believe gravity was the limiting factor in how big land based dinosaurs could get, so how

If Bezos just hopped into his Etrade account and hit the "sell all" button (just pretend it works that way), the stock would absolutely crater, at least for a bit. In practice, he'd find institutional-ish investors who were

How about monitoring via polling? I'm imagining something like this... - Set up application with your AWS/S3 credentials - Poll S3 to get list of all your buckets on a regular interval (once a day, every 5 minutes, whatever) - Ge

One thing to keep in mind here is that companies often use recruiters to fill their more difficult roles. If 25% of positions are filled by recruiters, these offers could be closer to the top 25% of salaries, too.

That'd be an easy way to send an Airbnb owner to jail. Rent their home, place a hidden camera, and report the camera you placed.

+1 vote for Heroku. Re: spending a little money, Scaleway has some the cheapest servers I've seen & would consider using. 2.99 Euros (3.54 USD as of now) for a server w/ 2GB of RAM & 50GB of storage is a pretty solid deal

That's why lectures suck for me. I can't "listen fast enough", and I lost track of the lecture when I try to take notes. This is where something like Khan Academy is way awesome-r for my style of learning.

Quick and dirty math. Let's say a new Kia Soul has 200K miles of useful (as an uber car) and costs $20K USD. The driver drives 2500 miles per month, getting 25 miles per gallon $4/gallon. Insurance is $100/month. And ever
