Change "heroin" to "cocaine" and you could tell the same story about many stockbrokers, so what's the point?

I like living in LA. The weather is what I like best. I would be miserable anywhere it rains or snows. I like the freedom of driving so public transportation isn't an issue for me. Neither is rent or health insurance...I own a house an

I live in Los Angeles and the first 5 boxes sounded like that is what you were describing. But public transportation is lacking so you need a car pretty much. Public healthcare I'm not sure anywhere in the US has that...you just buy in

Remember also that salary often reflects luck, willingness to be unethical, and many other qualities that have nothing to do with your worth. Unethical is a strong word, when employers have had the upper hand for way to long. How many tim

If you have a waterproof phone and you get it wet (I am an avid jet skier), the charging port will not work for several hours afterward (moisture detected warning). A wireless charging pad is a must for these situations.

The data doesn’t necessarily mean that being married increases a man’s wages, according to the analysis by Guillaume Vandenbroucke, a research officer at the Fed. It may mean men earning higher wages are more likely to marry and lower-inco

And they even note that they are a proud equal opportunity employer and don't discriminate based on age. The fact is they will hire older people, just not as special agents. Special agents have a mandatory retirement age of 57 so anyon

by byoung2 8y ago
Note that discrimination based on age generally only applies to applicants 40 or older. For example, companies can restrict hiring to people over 18 (e.g. to sell cigarettes), over 21 (to sell alcohol), over 35 (to be president) but they ca

I think you would have to run your own email server for that (but you will likely not have the same uptime as a cloud provider, resulting in lost messages anyway). All of the cloud providers have to filter spam as a selling point to their u

My boss was big on TOGAF and ITIL, at least the concepts behind them. He would always talk our ears off about Margaret Thatcher and the origin of ITIL. In 4 years of working for the company we never got farther than talk. Meanwhile we were

For me, voice doesn't work well for shopping. I love Alexa/Echo and I have a dozen devices mainly for home automation and general questions (weather, lookup). But for shopping, I want to find the best product and look up the cheap

Is the idea to network with people who live nearby? There are already apps that do that (e.g. NextDoor). Any app can be made given enough programming knowledge or money. The real question is "should it be built?"

Can you provide a citation for the per hour stat? I didn't do the math before, but let's try some back of envelope math. You can estimate it based on mileage. Assuming that a car averages 50mph and a jet averages 500mph, then yo

When you compare accidents by mile or by hour air travel is still much safer than driving. It is true that to drive 12,000 miles would take 12,000 hours while you can do that in 20 hours in a plane. That said you are also more than 50,000x

It depends on the sequence of events. If you are already arrested and charged with a crime, and a warrant is issued, it's too late to wipe. But if the cops have you pulled over on the roadside and demand you unlock your phone, you shou

Has anyone tried a screen lock data wipe app? Put in the special pin or pattern on the lock screen and it deletes sensitive files. You can easily restore from the cloud later.
