If you're trying to be ironic you've succeeded. I assume you posted this to draw a line between the woman with a Virginia ham and the woman with the Mercedes, but the rest of the scene is about Tony didn't fully understand hi

It takes a tremendous amount of energy and time to sell a used luxury vehicle. BTW, just giving us a link to a Mercedes listed for $15k tells us nothing. We have no idea how long it's been listed or what the owner of the vehicle is wil

I think she made a valid point though. Selling a used luxury vehicle isn't going to make you a ton of money, especially if you have to replace it. In a lot of circumstances it makes a lot more sense to keep a paid off and reliable vehi

I like this a lot. I'm really sick of the debates regarding appropriate motivations that are so common on this site. It's not that motivation doesn't matter, it's just that it's different for everybody. The one part

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. It's good to hear the other side of the story.

I do think it is both right to view the problem as a savings glut and a genuine lack of worthwhile opportunities for the entities responsible for the savings glut. Why? Because the entities responsible for the savings glut, the multina

You really do need to look at what you're getting in return from a degree. As far as I can see there are only three things an MBA (or any degree, really) can give you: knowledge, a network, and high pedigree within the area you want to

Given who owns the company now, I'm pretty sure that they'll be looking for acquisitions to tack onto their upsell activity. Pretty sure that's what this IPO will do. GoDaddy will be buying some companies in a year.

I'm pretty sure they don't do the sexist advertising anymore. Though I agree that their policies are questionable.

Benefits aren't an issue for me at this point in my life (my SO gets them for us currently). Good to know on the equity grant, I'll make sure that's part of the deal.

Health insurance isn't an issue, my SO provides our benefits. I have to file taxes quarterly?

I love the order of magnitude one, but I think whoever said it was probably trying to be funny.

I've been seeing some papers get voted pretty high lately, so I thought I'd share this with people who might just be entering into reading papers for the first time.

Can you lay out a new case for them? If you've already agreed to Option B, then I would say it's going to be difficult to do anything other than assess which option is more ideal for you personally. Otherwise I would add an addend

Can someone explain to me how this doesn't violate the Sherman Act (I'm being serious)? Comcast is actively engaging in trust behavior with another company in order to obtain a desirable merger ruling with the FCC. How is that not

I agree with some of the technical things that he is saying (though he's several years late to this conversation), but saying things like, "This provides 90% of the benifits [sic] of parallelism for the common use case without pr

I think the fact that you chose Technical Manager, and the reasons therein, says a lot about who you are. When your motivation is for other people that's a very good motive, in my opinion. Good technical managers are a rare treat and h

Number 2 is totally accurate. I can't tell you the number of stupid questions I have fielded by our Junior devs, just because I'm in their site line. I have the unique experience of having been both in offices and an open floor pl

Team productivity? What is team productivity other than the aggregate of individual productiveness? You could argue that open floor plans help bring the weakest programmers up a bit, but at the cost of bringing down your strong programmers
