My back of the napkin put $50K @ 60 hours put at just above $13/hr base rate. Taking a look at Glassdoor, my guess would be several years of small raises would get you pretty close. http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries&#x2

The best part about it is when you think about what your hourly rate would be if you made $80,000 and worked 60 hours a week with 20 of them being time and a half overtime. Comes out to around $22/hr base rate. You start doing that aro

In 2014 a lot of us don't use shared servers anymore. Personally, for someone like me, throwing this up in my dokku sounds great. I don't think this is designed for the Enterprise.

Can people please stop saying strawman over and over and over again. We get it, you read about it on Wikipedia by way of Reddit and now it applies to every single time someone disagrees with you.

I don't know. I think its closer to the good ol' East India Company pushing Opium around the world. No one needs Facebook. It's addictive and warps a persons perspective of the world around them and their friends and family.

Interesting timing considering Sprint just announced the Facebook plan for $12/month. And internet.org reeks of imperialism in the worst way.

Sprint isn’t being paid by any of the apps, but Mr. Draper didn’t rule it out in the future. “It’s definitely possible,” he said. “But we have not gone down that path yet.” Sprint is collecting users to be sold to the highest bidder. &quo

Back button hijacking like this is spam. Please stop selling this product. When someone hits the back button they want to leave. Forcing them to stay on the site after that action is wrong. Shameful. I know you won't care, because peop

In a way it makes sense, as most of these multinationals do not reside in the countries where the laws are being made. Maybe if they stop doing business there, or it is more difficult, it will give local companies(which pay taxes and provid
