Given that Scott's article recommends a 100% stock allocation to everyone >= 10 years from retirement with half of that in emerging markets (which only represent a small percentage of the total stock market), I take his advice with a la

Also, if ad networks are so noble, why do they go to such effort to make their tracking so difficult to remove?

You've got it backwards -- they're worried that the FTC is going to put the hammer down if they keep going with business as usual.

It's too late for me - once user tracking became prevalent I switched to using ad blockers and haven't looked back.

If you're worried about interest rate risk, a short term bond fund will mitigate that risk. Also keep in mind that a 'market crash' for bonds is only a ~10-15% drop. Wait a minute, you're worried that bonds have had a big run up in prices a

While I agree with his suggestion to just save yourself time, grief, and money by going with index funds rather than managed funds or stock picking, there are some nitpicks: - "[Bonds] are not 100% safe, as their value can plummet if the is

I think this would help with domain squatters, in some situations. Who'd buy a 'used' domain that's already built up a reputation for being filled with garbage?

True, but you still end up with similar performance to a tree.

Or to put it another way: The OSS project is likely able to make that $10k go pretty far. (Not as far as >1B, but still)

I think of it in these terms: If you're implementing a key for a std::map, you have to implement operator<, which in turn implies that std::map is tree-based. Similar for unordered_map, which would want operator== and a hash function. E

If a user is already intent on removing a credit url, hiding it behind obfuscation isn't going to change their mind. As an author giving out an effectively open source theme, the only asset you can depend upon is your users' goodwill. I thi

Yeah, I know, but the other two factors I mentioned regardless make me go with free apps.

Whoops, nevermind!

STL data structures are explicitly defined as to their internals, which in turn implies their performance. For example, when you're using a STL map, you know it's internally a tree and has the upsides, downsides, and performance characteris

I've had an android phone for about 6 months and haven't paid for any apps. In general I've found that for every paid app, there's a free app which is close enough if not better. I also dislike the idea of buying software for a device that

Given that they're a volunteer project, what's the OSS project need the money for?

I think you're confusing the research wing and the education wing of the modern research university. Research grants are given to professors/staff to fund specific projects, which are separate from/in addition to their everyday teaching res

I think the fact that the authors were using base64 encoding to hide it answers your question.

Who are these for? They're like the AOL Keywords of the new decade.

Oh god a link cloud, I wish people would stop using those. Also, http://www.ifitweremyhome.com/compare/US/FI recommends Tom of Finland books to learn more about Finland.

They won't be selling everything at once; it'll be distributed over 30-40 years. They don't have that much saved either: http://www.bargaineering.com/articles/working-americans-have... And, on top of all that, following the hump is anothe

Yeah, not saying they don't exist, but good luck finding them.
