   I agree, regulation is largely what's keeping supply down. That being said, I think there's something wrong with purely living owning 10+ investment properties while millennials in Syd and Toronto are being priced out of buying a

   I feel anyone born post 1980 has a shot at slowed-aging, maybe even reversed for post 2000's. No data, just a hunch on the pace I've seen from the biotech sector.

   If you're like me and have just accepted that at some level you'll never be a morning person, I suggest spending the first 40 mins doing something mindless (shower, browse fb etc), then a coffee. Works for me.

   I feel bad for American parents, trying to drown out the stupidity and teach their kids that if we/they don't change society drastically, CC will snowball.

   I'm no network engineer so I'm not sure at all if this is even possible but: Mesh network in my city's CBD (aus) that costs just $10/mo for uncapped mobile access. I'm sick of paying for $40-60/mo for calls&#x2

   Doesn't need to be an app. A mobile web app would be fine.

    Absolutely. Well functioning team = more efficient = lower costs for the client.

    Good software isn't written in a vacuum. Discussing ideas with others is essential, and that's easier with mutual respect.

    I definitely work more efficiently with people I can connect with. I think the bias is good.

    Even in WA, good pay! How many years exp (if that's ok to ask)? I'm getting a fraction of that in Syd.

    I actually prefer the "time since" method. Don't have to do date maths in your head to see how active the repo/file is.

    I'm from rural australia and I definitely remember kids hanging out at local shopping centers. I visited home recently and they still do, especially in summer (40+ degrees, who can blame them).

    I'm only speaking from experience, but I quite liked Neo4J. I had ~50M edges and as long as you get the Cypher command right, it's amazingly fast. The web GUI is slick and very helpful, and it's got a community edition!

    So many recruiter requests. Current contract is from LinkedIn. Was able to negotiate pretty hard just from the sheer quantity of offers.

    That is a good idea. Forces you to really nail down tasks between you and your goal.

    I suppose you are right. At the very least it's an item for the resume.

    Indeed, I built it for my own needs in the first place. I've collected the data from multiple sources, some of the TOS I agreed to explicitly said not to use it in competition as a social media platform. I would be happy enough if peop

    ML-based social platform where the algorithms learn a user's tastes. Limited to images, it's somewhere between Tumblr/VSCO/Pinterest/IG. It works for me, and my girlfriend loves using it, but the problem is she alwa

    You would be surprised how much Ultimo has been gentrified in the past decade, it's quite trendy now. That's a good price for proximity to the main beach, and especially with the separate apartment. Have you considered subletting
