I always considered myself bad at math in school. For me the drilling as the problem. I have trouble focusing on arbitrary tasks. After I left high school and started to teach myself programming I became much better at it. Having an actual

A theoretical reverse DDoS: You somehow prevent traffic from reaching their load balancer so it automatically scales their AWS instances to zero.

Good idea, after that it's really just rate limiting and perhaps only looking up the same URL every X days. Perhaps a per domain limit as well. No problem they probably haven't already solved.

Honestly, I'm not automating anyone out of a job yet. I work in pretty low level IT at the moment. Trying to start my own business. I don't know how you reach people like that. It isn't the majority of them also. Is it mental

This is something some people don't understand. Gentrification and things like it aren't only a racial issue. Sometimes you move into an area simply because the unemployed drunks and drug addicts can't afford to move there wi

I agree. This is sort of like a lot of constitutional issues. The forth amendment is clear, you can't take cash off of people without charging them with a crime. The problem is you have to be wealthy to fight it.

That might work. If I wanted to put an employee under a non-compete the easiest way seems to offer something in return. Something along the lines of: "...Employee shall not work for any competitor during his employment and 6 months the

That's how it works in the US, most of the time a non-compete is entirely unenforceable.

I have been told by a lawyer friend of mine that for a contact to be valid both parties must have the ability to negotiate it. He said that is why most non-competes are unenforceable in the first place as you don't really have the leve

I don't think that explains why the apartment building 5 minutes away in a worse town (higher crime, access to lower rated schools) rents a 2 bedroom for more than the cost of my mortgage, taxes and insurance. My belief is that the peo

This isn't the case in most of New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Cost to rent a crappy 2 bedroom apartment (with the people below blowing smoke up into your bedroom) is the same as a 3 bedroom house, property taxes, and insurance. It really

Does anyone know of a modern high capacity (100 Gig+) MP3 player? The largest I've found is a modified Ipod that can get me 240. Everything seems to be 8 or 16 gigs, I have 300 Gig's of audiobooks and podcasts alone.
