   I hate going on-site. It is a waste of time. It is a "go away" price. EDIT: And companies routinely pay for it.

   $30k/week? Would love to read more about how that worked. I thought my $180/hour with $1k per diem for on-site was phenomenal. Jeez, I need to charge more.

   What level are you looking for? There are a lot of ways to define that stream. Last trade, book data, etc. What degree of latency is tolerable for your application?

   My role is data scientist for a venture backed marketing startup, but I also wrote/designed all the tech used for ETL and reporting. I use docker in production to sandbox models that are called by the client via a web app. I admin a pr

   OK. I'm calling market top. Love docker, but to date I've given them zero dollars and do not anticipate that changing. The Microsoft strategy looks cloudy at best.

   Thanks for the link! I was looking for some papers on the topic (small satellites & space debris). Here are a few that popped up (not sure if CubeSats are 100% apples for apples): http://archive.ists.or.jp/upload_pdf&#x2

   As a developer, I can't agree more. Unfortunately, I have to work with sales teams and a variety of groups/individuals that just refuse to buy into the concept. The irony is that I get more done in 4 hours at home than I do during

    I could have just as easily used "rent" instead of "mortgage". Spare me the political grandstanding.

    You can certainly aspire to that. Some companies are really good at hiding their true colors. Mortgage, kids... Sometimes you need a paycheck.

    This is smart. Guilty as sin or not, testifying against an employer seems risky for one's career. You want to be able to explain to future employers what happened in a manner that takes personal character assessment out of the equation

    You're on a tangent that has zero to do with some asshole debasing the currency that I store my wealth in.
17. 497.▲
    by fixxer 12y ago

    As a citizen, I have a vested interest in seeing the currency protected, so this isn't "us versus the G". Your argument is irrelevant to this matter (regardless of how much I agree with your feelings about the NSA).

    Any rating system is as arbitrary as the next, right?

    Why not just binary ratings?

    Yup. Same one. Doesn't matter. Straw man argument.

    I think you've confused this thread with the OP's article. My comment was in reference to a bank robber who was charged with the murder and kidnapping of his accomplice when he ran away from police with his friend (who was shot).

    One straw man argument after another... We're talking about a bank robber. We're talking about crimes committed during the robbery (preventing his accomplice from getting medical care, which resulted in his accomplice's death

    I am responsible for my actions. I own my mistakes rather than blame society. Lots of people come from nothing and don't resort to crime. Your view is one of the worst types of liberal elitism and I honestly am repulsed by it.

    by fixxer 12y ago

    I agree with you to an extent. Where was the robber's empathy and humanity when he decided to commit a violent crime? I'm sticking with "fuck this guy". If you really want to bear a cross, I can think of a few better can

    Suppose he didn't go to prison for kidnapping and murder. He's still going to prison for bank robbery and those imaginary kids are going to grow up without a daddy regardless. Your argument is moot.

    by fixxer 12y ago

    Sure, but theft is a subset of the crime in this case. Counterfeiting is a form of theft that literally destabilizes a regime. As jessaustin pointed out far more eloquently, my view is not novel. The fact that we have an organization within

    You are criticizing a negative feedback loop while simultaneously endorsing policies that would create equally detrimental feedback loops. What is true justice?

    Oh, the children! What about the children? What does it matter? He robbed a bank! Someone died! He chose to break his contract with society. If I did that, I would expect zero considerations be made for my two kids. It is my responsibility
