Similar prices to be had around NoVA / DC. Data center electricians with 2 years experience were at 35/hr, and the Master electricians with experience were roughly double. No shit, I was a data center manager then and contemplate

> Doesn't this mean that middle-men are just being inserted who are absorbing some of the productivity (earnings) of the worker? Essentially, yes.

This is called Middle Management, and exists entirely to buffer high level decision makers from day-to-day workers.

Everyone seems to harp on ‘Dulce et Decorum Est' -- presumably because they had to read it in an English class at some point -- but I always rally liked 'Futility'. It's like you can hear Owen losing his faith in God.

Hockey is not a good measure of kids activities. Not really common outside of the north, and wayyyy more expensive than most other sports. Kids basketball consists of 1) kid. 2) shoes. 3) ball. And you only need 1 ball per group of kids.

It may be on par, but that's total comp. My understanding is that the 'Flix doesn't do bennies, matching, vesting over time, etc., they just throw straight cash at you. Reduces their overhead -- no plan administrators, etc.

Maybe not a whole block but I could see 2-3 average-size houses splitting costs and times effectively. Outside of an hour or two of dishes, an hour or two of laundry, and a couple hours cleaning, there will likely be a lot of idle time. Li

Maybe, if the BTC payment was at a higher rate that could help offset the risk and inconvenience.

Nothing to add, just glad to hear that folks are asking this. I work remotely for a US firm and I'm baffled in their choices viz-a-viz payment sometimes.

Seriously. I used to run data centers on both coasts and we had easily a half a dozen eDiscovery firms and several regular law firms with big data center presences -- presumably because they're using some of those tools. Hourly billin

For the uninitiated: Italian Fascism was so named as a reference to classical Roman Fasces, which was a bundle of sticks or rods wrapped around an axe that symbolized authority.

> Stratfor's use of insiders for intelligence soon turned into a money-making scheme of questionable legality. I'm impressed that "soon" was a thing; I would have assumed that was the goal for the outset.

From Fedora 26-on Drivers have been pretty good. Nvidia card works great with the binary-blob from the RPMfusion repo, and no issues with using the Brother network printer. Pre-26 I'd agree with you.

Been using Fedora as a daily driver since '09. Generally liked it more, and I do CentOS/Red Hat all day at work so I'm a little more familiar with the internals. Steam and Proton work pretty well on it, too.
