It's the jobs. You want to work at Google, you work in CA. You want to work in movies, you work in CA. There are various environmental factors (like the weather) and economic factors (like locking in property taxes when you buy) that k

I think most Boomers didn't have financial support, and they didn't need it: their wealth accumulated at a faster rate than large expenses (college, healthcare, housing) grew. Those large expenses are now almost all exhibiting bub

"It takes a village" has really bitten for me, I've seen just how bad it is without. Moving to the Bay Area, far away from any parental help, seemed so great when I was 25. Now I have children that I am raising without family

I can not give you more +1s. If your goal is to be healthy, and not necessarily be pretty, exercise is integral. You can be skinny and be unhealthy. You can be overweight and be heart-healthy, if you exercise. I am obese according to the BM

I think Discord is a clear buy for someone like Microsoft. It gives them a big leg up, and doesn't really compete with Skype in the demographics.

I think Blue Apron recipes are generally too fancy: check out Sun Basket. I like them more, and they are pretty good on the timings (if it says 20 mins, it's actually 20 mins).

Does anyone have a recommendation for a NAS that can do a nightly backup your Google account/OneDrive account etc. etc.? I found [1], but that's a lot of fiddling at command-lines. I just want a button in a web interface that OAut

This is a great question. The main goal of Go Cloud is that the abstraction is not leaky and that you don't get access to specific features in the way you are describing in the application itself. Now if the specificity of the thing yo

Yes, we are solving a different problem. Terraform is about provisioning resources, Go Cloud is about interacting with them. We actually use Terraform for provisioning in our samples, and we see the two working hand in hand.

Possibly! We're targeting Go 1.11 as we want the module support. It might work on GAE as is, but we haven't tested.

As someone who knows very little about the blockchain, I was wondering if the Bitcoins are "known"? Like, they have a hash or something? Can't they be then blacklisted from use somehow? I thought the whole point of the blockc

The reason why I enjoy Tolkein so much is that I like the poetic, almost biblical prose. I know why it drives some people mad, but I really liked it. I've never found anything that comes close to replicating it. I would love recommenda

See my reply above. TL;DR: Google's employment agreement means Google owns the copyright, which is what you see here. That doesn't mean we are endorsing the repo or making any claims to its importance.
