Not sure why this was downvoted.. I live in Berkeley and a 2bdr here is cheaper than a studio in the city.

Freedom of speech also only applies to the state. The government cannot suppress your free speech. It says absolutely nothing about what private parties (or companies) can do about speech. e.g. If you come into my house and start shouting r

If you are a large fleet with many trucks, it would probably be cheaper to hire employees at the truck stops (or manage your own fuel depots) to just pump fuel all day for the automated trucks on the automated routes. Then you could have a

Some things to consider: Trucks pay fuel tax on diesel fuel (can be higher rate than gasoline), surcharges on fuel tax in some states, weight-distance tax in some states, and heavy vehicle use tax. The federal weight limit for a truck--incl

How you communicate an underestimate will differ slightly if you are a freelancer/consultant compared to an employee. The primary difference being the level of technical sophistication of the person you are telling. The basics should b

This is the million dollar question, and is sort of a "choose your own adventure" type of story. I personally got my first clients by 1) doing contract work for my former employer. 2) had written a library for an api client that w

This is great. A lot of people forget that interviews are two-way streets. If the company culture indicates that you won't be valued, look somewhere else. In this case specifically, I'd rather learn how to provide value than use s

Stripe in general is not a great user experience for non-developers. Clicking "Learn More" links, in many places, literally takes you to api documentation.

You were treated fairly. Bluntly but fairly. When you turn in your resignation, your notice is just an offer of a grace period. They are not obligated to take you up on your offer.

It's much safer to just hash twice: the first time using your old hash function and again using a secure hash. Then to migrate you only have to update all your customer's password hashes in place. Additionally, if you lose your database, yo

Just curious, did you try contacting them and ask for a student discount? That works more often than you'd think.

Here is another way to see what is happening, that may be more clear from an intuitive sense: From the puzzle, name the square object S and the circle inside it C_1. Imagine another circle C_2 that circumscribes the square S from the puzzle

We tried both ways, and the free trial was a clear winner. I think this could depend on your service, however. Something else to consider: even though we had more people sign up and pay, we also had far more people sign up and try without p

You are confused: yes there are infinite integers, but every single integer has a finite number of digits. Edit: (Several people have said the same thing so maybe I can add something else) I think another point of confusion might be the dif

Chargify isn't an actual credit card processor, they pass through to your gateway/merchant account. Their value is in simplifying the subscription management and recurring billing.

You make a valid point, but would you not factor that into your ROI calculation?

As an advertiser, I don't care how many people are using one search engine over another, as long as it is non-zero. I care about the ROI I get and spend accordingly.

Just an FYI, I had problems with "Rizal al Mashoor‘s MicroISV on a Shoestring Reader" after several posts (I want to say ~20-40 it's been a month or so). I'm not complaining by any means, I just googled for the article it broke on and conti

This is determined probabilistically, so as you get more coverage (and links) the term occurs more often on the web, thus making it less likely that it was a misspelling. I imagine link text might be given more weight over regular text, but

They could give you the option to turn off the notification if enough people complained about it, though I doubt they would. I don't usually find it annoying when a company goes out of their way to look out for my best interests, especially

I think I see what you are saying. It is my belief that if you feel that something is just, and in your rights to do, that you should do it. I also believe that you still deserve those rights if you choose not to. Perhaps I am more lenient

No. I was saying that if you threaten me with death if I leave my house, and I choose to stay in my house for personal safety, that this act doesn't undermine the fact that I DESERVE liberty. I think restricting others rights by any means (

I still stand by my statement, or at least the intent of my statement. To say that someone who chooses not to exercise a right, for any reason, doesn't deserve liberty is wrong. They are not giving up the ability to exercise that right for
