I"m curious, whats the amount you are investing, what's the profit, and what's the risk? I've always been a little bit suspicious of day trading as a way of making money considering the type of ads I see, the fact that I

Then again, there are some amenities I'd like if I'm paying SF rent. For instance, I was recently in SF and looked in into a one-bedroom non-luxury apartment that I could easily have afforded back home. It was 3k a month and didn&

I'm curious, do you have any suggestions for reading on designing microservices while explicitly dealing with network chattiness? It seems like that can be a major issue. For instance, if you have your microservices setup in the cloud,

I think that a great children's museum exhibit would be really interactive and engaging. So if there's an exciting exhibit, I'd think there would be interest in smaller educational projects the kids and their parents could pu

I don't think they would care that much. I think they could just drug test employees if they were concerned about pot. And I haven't heard of any major non-DOD companies on the west-coast drug testing.

I think it's just because Stripe has an interest encouraging people to start side projects/small businesses. It increases their userbase.

I'm not too familiar with those, but it looks like they just shut down the circuit. We were looking for arcing to pinpoint where the problem was. It was a short wave radio station, so it had a large antenna. Arcing in the antenna was p

I really agree with you. The idea of a homebuilt powerwall sounds really cool. But it's not something I would come close to working with. Awhile ago I did a some volunteer work at a radio station. One of my tasks was to check for arcin

I'd look into companies focused on SBIR grants. The SBIR program is a governmental program designed to spur R&D in small businesses. Over $2.5billion is awarded annually. For instance one grant deals with researching detecting and

Developers are in a completely different situation than a lot of other people. The money we might get by aggressively negotiating would mean a lot more to other people. But refusing to negotiate or to that raise won't increase other pe

I'm curious, how much more do you think you could get by leaving, or if you had been job hopping? Companies say they value loyalty, but that can seem fake if loyalty ends up costing the employee money.

I also tried that. I got a phone off contract for really cheap (I think it was Verizon) and then tried to port it to T-Mobile. My connection was really flaky. I finally filed a claim on my insurance for my phone and switched to a nexus 5x.

I think this is much simpler than Oracle v Google concerning Java APIs. Levandowski stole thousands of documents from Google, started a competitor using those documents, then sold his startup to Uber. And the timeline makes it look like Ube

Some companies do it to just get an idea of what's available. I had a job as a contractor at a startup and when they decided they wanted to convert me to full-time they had me apply to their job ad.
