   And it is also very niche. The custom PC market has been, and will continue to be a "healthy" market, but it is by no means a growing market. The difference between a custom built PC, and a modular designed phone, is that for th

   I hate to burst you bubble, and I am glad that you believe that Rutgers is a part of the Ivy League[1], but I assure you it isn't. Rutgers admits nearly 61% of applicants in, and based on a cursory google search, UMich accepts about 37

   I'm glad that you put Rutgers with the likes of Princeton et al, but it is the state university of NJ. So not everyone came from a prestigious school.

   What utter nonsense. Larry and Sergey were shopping Google around and no one wanted to buy, Apple was acquired from within by their investors, FB, Yahoo, Amazon all took on a massive amount of VC to get off the ground. That is the cost of

   Except that's not what he said. He didn't say that the C-levels didn't have control, just that they don't have to approve everything that you want to do.

   And that is a stupid way to feel. Using your kid analogy, they didn't turn their backs on anyone, they took a better paying gig so that they can do more stuff for you. So that they can get you a quicker ROI by having more assets at t

    You are going to get charged $99 either way. Prime video has always been, and continues to be an add on to the Prime membership. Remember when we paid $79 just for shipping, then they added video much later? I'm not saying it will al

    I go to a research university so there are 4 main sources of funding in no particular order: 1) State funding (public tax dollars) 2) Student tuition 3) Research Grants 4) Alumni donations State funding is down, research grants are down, an

    This comes up all the time on reddit. The NFL makes no profit. Do not confuse the statement of the "NFL makes no profit" with "the collection of teams that make up the NFL make no profit". They are not the same thing.

    You do realize for markets to be efficient (including labor markets), it is a prerequisite that all parties have equal information. If your employer is the only one that knows what everyone is making, and you aren't allowed to discuss

    I know it wasn't much info, but it's literally all I have. I have the offer letters too, but they are all about the same. As far as platforms go, it doesn't matter to me, Mac, *Nix, Windows, I use them all, and I am fairly l
