Had a good laugh when I saw these posters on the subway (D) this morning on the way to a doctor's appointment. When a business gets on the bullhorn to tell you that they're a net positive for society, it's pretty much a given

Um...you're in an abusive relationship and probably need to get out.

New York here -- not in the startup scene, but still technical and happy to talk things through with folks if they're interested.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's the way her life is built around buzzwords, brands and hopeless consumerism.

Oh man, search for "married sophisticate" and read the "day in the life of" section for the group. I wanted to kick someone's ass so badly after reading that.

Qatar is interesting -- my wife is considering taking a job there at some point in the nebulous future. What is the technology community there like?

You refer (I assume) to the UK and the US? One invented modern parliamentary democracy, and the other is a global superpower. Both have been at the business of democracy for 200+ years, and have never had to deal with the problem set Bangla

There is. Given the dynamics of Bangladeshi politics, a life sentence from the current government is actually a jailing until the opposition comes to power and pardons everyone convicted by its predecessor. I'm against capital punishme

They do have real time information for the A-division (numbered trains). The B-division trains are, however, a dogs breakfast with no central monitoring or dispatch. There are plans afoot to spend a couple of billion dollars to perform a di

This must have been in the golden age before Citigroup was run by idiots.

This is fascinating. I hate to ask, but nothing ventured, nothing gained: is there anyway you'd be willing to talk about this more offline? My email address is on my profile.

Regarding (0): could I ask how your acquaintance ended up obtaining the regional bank's charter?

This has been driving me insane. I loved cross posting to Facebook and Twitter from the People hub. The application that brings that back will earn my money. The prospect of paying for something I used to get for free is kind of infuriating

That's a good start. It's not just hanging out with the same people though: it's also a change of scenery. I find that a sammich on the park bench knocks the morning's clutter away and makes me more productive in the aft

Tell me about it. Front office technology at one of the larger banks here in NYC -- the only reason we still have jobs is because the desk needs someone in technology to yell at when things go wrong. Your taxes and living observation gels p

Man, Glassdoor is making me jealous. Kids with 1-3 years experience making 204K in NYC? BRB, applying to Google SRE.

A cursory google search should have shown that gmake (GNU Make) is widely available and used on FreeBSD.

Does anyone know how much money we're talking about here? How much do, say, Google SRE people make after a few years on the job?

I got FreeBSD running on by dropping into the PXE shell a while back. Didn't last past reboot, though: DO does some weird stuff to boot operating systems (maybe it wipes out the MBR every time?) Got a $20 credit for my trouble (good PR

Well, in its defense, it's not doing anyone any harm, and actually is a pretty awesome operating system (ZFS is, to put it mildly, delicious). The world would be much poorer if FreeBSD left this mortal coil.

The "Deport Justin Bieber" petition blew past 100K signatures a couple of days ago; I don't see him being told to leave the country yet. Could it be that these petitions are completely useless?

Ah, memories. I did this in a production database (thought it was a QA environment) and brought trading on the mortgage desk of an investment bank to a grinding halt on September 14th, 2008. The DBAs saved my 23 year old ass that day. I mak

If you avoid the Wall Street lifestyle, you can make do quite beautifully on about $150K a year, which is what my wife and I do. It's a good way to save for other life aims, for sure.

No. Not unless you're the techie that makes partner, in which case you're still going to bring in less than the people who are actually swinging pnl.
