It only causes eye strain if you look around, which, the whole point is to remove distraction and other things to look at.

You can't, now, I guess. My wife's consolidation loan is only 1.5% (well, 2% with a .5% discount for auto-online payment). We lucked out, I guess!

How is this different from indentured servitude? In any way what so ever? "Free trip to the colonies, in exchange for a chunk of your output for the next 20 years."

Depends on the interest rate of the loan. No reason to pay it off early if you've got a 1-2% loan - you'd be better off in the long term investing that 'extra' money and getting 3-5% return.

> If you execute well you succeed. That might as well be a tautology - if you don't succeed, obviously you didn't execute well. Unless money has gotten tremendously cheaper, $500 seems at the absurdly low end of out-of-pocket t

Interesting - I had the opposite experience. I had In N Out in San Diego, and then flew to DC, and have Five Guys. I much preferred the Five Guys. In N Out tasted/felt low quality. I do agree about Shake Shack though :)

The big difference is CapEx - I can setup a linode with my 'free time' and a few bucks a month to prove out a business. You can't 'free time' a brick and mortar without a substantially larger risk - no bank is going

Calling Five Guys a 'downmarket' anything is silly. They're probably the most expensive / up market fast food burger place out there. And they don't do shakes (at least here on the East Coast, where they started).

I think it depends on the junior dev - if they 'learn' when they get their question answered, the productivity of the team over time most likely increases quite a bit; it's an 'investment' in future productivity. If

That sounds just like CIA actually. Civilian agency, responsible for intelligence gathering and sharing that information with <others> to <do things>. They're not law-enforcement focused, which might be the key difference

You don't think they've thought of it being used between their contractors/executives? And that they haven't put any effort in to stopping that sort of use internally?

When you get a clearance, you sign certain pieces of paper that contractually waive certain rights with respect to that information you are cleared to receive. You also obligate yourself contractually to a number of other responsibilities

You misunderstand. I was merely pointing out that the existence, or lack thereof, of a court order, was completely beside the point as far as the National Security Agency is concerned. The NSA is chartered and bound to not do domestic spyi

The NSA doesn't require a signed court order for it's activities though. They're not allowed to spy on Americans (unless that American is communicating with a foreign person) at all. The FBI needs court orders, and is focus

Confirming or denying, or stating the (in)ability to talk about it is a breach of the requirement to keep the information classified. The proper response is 'we do not know what you're talking about'. Which is what they sai

And there are plenty of health care companies that evaluate AWS and decide they don't need a BAA, due to the way the system is constructed. This is a 'your legal team' issue, not a global issue (ie: it's an issue, but not a blanket problem

Why are they fake social interactions? Any bit of connection to other people is a social interaction. For some, it's a major part of their social interaction with peers. For others, it's a small bit part. It's definitely not 'fake' though

Or you could grow up and leave the Valley, and realize the world is a lot larger than you seem to appreciate. Or just kill yourself now, and save us all the whining.

A lot of people aren't interested in Python 3 yet, as you noted - many dependencies, etc. are not '3' compatible yet.

Maybe it's just different learning styles, but I think most folks prefer video to text. Like you, I can't stand it - I jump straight to a transcript or other text to consume the information: I read and understand WAY faster than people talk
