Cool be offended. But I would still disagree with your attempted rebuttal of my original points. a) Not just Young or attractive women will get attention. There are a lot of older/non conventionally attractive women that use online dat

Then switch to ARM already. I’ve been using an iPad Pro (1st gen) 9.7” for most things including google docs/web/email and it’s plenty fast. And it still has 46% battery after 3 days. For development I have a 8core Xeon box with

Eww so they have a landing page when you want to cancel. Pretty slimy. If it’s too annoying just give them a chargeback, heck do it the next month if they don’t stop. That will fit the attention of at least their payment processor.

Lots of nontechnical people at google used Linux. Of course it was supported by IT, so less hw problems. I also made a few Debian box like 15 years ago for a nonprofit I interned with. Seemed to work just fine for basic web stuff.

Didn't know that, also FUCK AMAZON from now on. But what are they going to do? Some sort of civil suit is not that big of a deal if you have your assets appropriately sheltered. Although this makes me hate Jeff Bezos just a little bi

Lol it's not that big a deal if you lose a job when you have around 12months living expenses saved up. So that goes twords living expenses, then you get unemployment at 60% of income. People need to move on, and stop being so emotion

Windows 10 LTSB is really close. Then M$ decides to put candy crap + windows 10 home on the surface PRO. This puppy has great hardware but windows 10 feels like what some MS advertising exec wants everyone to use, not an actual os.

Amazon search and non amazonbasics products are approaching garbage-level. How about half a page of advertising to buy some Chinese knockoff of a product that will break in a month. My mom wanted some new lighting Apple headphones (earpod

The trades e.g. electrician/plumber advertise apprenticeships all the time in the USA. They get paid + education which starts around $16/hr. If only some of the large tech companies would start adopting the same model.

Yes housing is not in accorandce with the construction costs. Essentially you have inflated bureaucracy and artificial supply constraints & zoning (NIMBY) trying to keep the housing prices up. Houses are just fine in Boise, ID or Alban

Subscriptions for everything. Ugh. What if we want all of our money to be disposable for what we want to spend it on, not what it is earmarked for by some large tech company...

Put $70k into VFIAX for 40 years. That will get you $2,061,991.75 at retirement @7% interest. Maybe a little more or less but this is inflation adjusted. I’d say if you are planning a normal to frugal retirement that is all you really need

Seattle is trying hard to catch up. 10.1% sales tax + just under 50% liquor tax.

Put it all into VFIAX if you intend to hold onto it. Then forget about it for 20 years.

Bullshit. It is 100% advantage for the employee. Another employee and myself got laid off with 2 days notice from my former employer when they decided they were going to try to use less people. This is really annoying since I now am worki

Agreed. Having both the intro to programming MOOC down and a GitHub is really the way to go. This way if you apply to somewhere where the primary business is not programming you will have something to show HR and also something to show wh

The median home price in Seattle proper passes $1million. SF median home price passes $2million. Microsoft/google busses start to get rocks thrown at them, hire private security escorts.

I would save enough to be financially independant. That gives you true freedom, then you don't even have to work. But it would also take about £500k GBP to give you 20k/yr for the rest of your life. This might take another 5-10
