Low interest rates are good (you could argue) but negative interest rates make it harder to GET dollars to pay back your loans because the value of each dollar is more. Imagine if you borrow 200k for a house and when you sell it you can now

Any news on the test? I'm curious.

I've worked with dozens of companies of various sizes over my career, and I've always found that this type of attitude starts at the top of the company. If managers are kind, curious, and tolerant of risks that might reap rewards,

I just want to use whatever tools we will be using in 5 years. While the underlying technologies of css, html, and javascript have gotten cleaner, powerful, and more cross-compatible, everything that sits on top seems to have gotten bloated

I agree with the point taniq makes in that those easier systems did in fact require a lot of hand crafting, even if parts were automated. I find it interesting the points at which the usefulness of these approaches plateaus. I am interested

Yep. I have to agree with this comment. My first thought was about some advice I would give someone considering this (having been pushed into this situation by a large healthcare client years back). But once I found it was a sales piece, th

Interesting. I have an AI agent that can solve these types of problems. What kinds of other unsolved problems are out there? I'm always looking for something interesting.

One of the examples given is a block puzzle (reorder 8 pieces in a 3x3 grid back into order) Has this been a problem for AI and CNN's?

I'm totally OK with this. Am I the only person who dated a senior analyst and is now married to an IT Director?

Very interesting. Given enough training, would the car learn to find the apexes of turns?

I think this is a result of the frustration Gross has with central banks printing money. He is mad that it makes it difficult to make money in bonds, but no one under 50 cares about this. A side-effect is that it makes stock prices go up re

It might be as simple as adding the important info in an alt or title attribute that gets updated when the visual does.

Thank you for this clarification. I was wondering how holding these options would screw the average employee, since I didn't think the value was taxable, but the impact on the AMT is the piece I was missing. I've got to think that

"likely overestimated average time spent watching videos by between 60% and 80%" Soooooooo... fraud? They say it didn't impact billings/revenue, but I have to imagine they will now be in a position to give discounts, if

In theory, having a chunk in the Roth is a better deal. You pay taxes on that money now, but down the road, you don't have to pay when you withdraw. Assuming it has grown multiple times, you pay much less in taxes by doing it now. And,

This article nails it. Excellent advice. If you read nothing else, read: Engineers are hired to create business value, not to program things

Yes. If you use both, you can work it so you hit the maximum 53k per year, or 59k per year if you are 50+, and have a big chunk in the Roth side so you won't have to pay taxes on the money later (You pay now, of course). https:/&

If you are self-employed and incorporated, and are really crushing it, you can open both a 401k and a Roth 401k to maximize the amount you can stuff away.

You might think it is dumb that China is not allowed to participate in the ISS, but does it make you curious why this is? Is China an innocent victim of politics? Or did they warrant the ban from ISS?

Yep. Yep. Yep. Agreed.

I have to agree with you. HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript have matured to the point where they are very powerful and flexible. I don't always see the point of over-complicating things with frameworks.

Screw the statistics. If you feel compelled to start up a company, I say do it. Put yourself 100% in. You might be 100% successful, or, you might be 100% a failure. But do not think the statistics make you one or the other. Only advice I wo

I noticed about 6 months ago that Dropbox was on this list and disabled it the normal way. It stayed disabled and also didn't cause any problems using the software. Now, why how did Evernote get on the list?

I think this is a way to consolidate the whole Autonomy mess they started when they overpaid for and tried to integrate the company. It seems HP, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Box, etc. are all trying to build the future of business computing. Go
