Well, from personal conversations russians as a whole blame "westerners" as a whole. I.e. if there will be post about guy, who made floor from recycled wood, there will be tons of hatred comments towards this particular person. An

Whole thing leads to really weird situations. I have few friends from Russia, who visited USA few times, praise it for freedoms, commerce, life, etc. Some seriously considered moving. Some - moved for good. People who mostly doing their bus

I was bitten by overdraft fees few times, and after much complaining all fees were waived. BUT, every time I insisted on disable all kind of overdraft protections and simply dishonor ACH charge or paper check if balance is not enough. I&#x2

current system appears to work as long as you pump people into system to do work.

That would be pretty silly thing to do and I hope no one actually act on this idea. Hackers enjoy it because they are using "mules" providing their checking accounts and then sending wires or western union transfers. Normal person

I get that quality of IRS work falls with less staff, but on the other hand - maybe it is a good thing? May be it will force changes? While not the worst in the world, USA tax code is... complicated. Maybe it could be simplified.

I agree that you should stop complain about anything IT-related in government and instead try to make a change (and complain about, let's say, bogus process of winning government contract) That been said, I don't believe USDS&#x2F

It also appears that this $90k+ is less than GDP per capita - https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&... which is really weird.

What surprised me - average salary of $90k+. Does someone have any insight what this country produce to be able to pull of such pretty significant wages?

(my background is freelancing on sites like odesk.com and elance.com) Could someone explain what kind of contracting work is talked about here? With examples of products, type of work, technologies, etc? How much of it applicable to US?

People in this thread forget - Europe as a whole existed for far longer than US. USA is home for booming business, and not only IT business. Unfortunately as a consequence - "bad" people use weapons to fight for their place under

No, I am not jealous or anything. I have bunch of side projects which I never considered "investable" since none of them has clear path to monetization and/or built openly. Therefore I wanted to know what it takes to grow a f

what do you mean by "maligning"? Second paragraph of their blog post: "Keybase started as a PGP keyserver hobby project, aimed at making key lookups as easy as knowing someone's username."

From my limited following keybase.io it seems like this is mostly hobby project. How does one get investment for this kind of projects? Do you need to know someone already? Or do you decide to pull a plunge and create business plan and pres

quads props spin at 20k-40k speed. it was pure luck that quad crashed into building first, which probably shut it down, before crashing into woman. otherwise she could have very bad cuts too. flying quads above people is big no-no. they can
