Whattttttttttttttttttttt Now these are some legitimate complaints. You should write a post about real issues. Did she end up suing? I feel like you can't say something like that and not end up getting sued.

That's a crazy good cash back percentage - what card is giving you that?

They are required in lots of places, but people don't always follow the law. It's not surprising to hear the old "the machine is broken, need cash" excuse.

Thank you for your hard work! Don't listen to the haters. A lot of hackernews seems to be hipsters who dislike anything that's not the latest, most obscure technology to be using. Grunt is solid, and does a great job at helping fr

I guess it can go either way depending on the situation. A good deal of my experience with this is actually in the Philly area. In NYC, if there are a bunch of cabs around already and you're looking to leave asap then it might not be a

Most of the people I've talked to in my age group (mid twenties to early thirties) adamantly avoid taking a taxi whenever possible. The reasons why have been beaten to death by now, but they include: - Uber's show up on time, and

Well to be honest, anytime people are asked to work on something new at 5pm it typically represents a monumental failure on management's part. If reviewing those code tests was important, you should have made time for them to do that d

This is a common misconception (love when I get to use that phrase unironically!) about MMM and the early retirement he talks about. What he's really selling is financial independence, as in not having to worry about money so you have

That's sad. I feel like a lot of them would be better off getting a normal, well paying job as a non-gaming dev, then work on their own projects in their free time.

Sleep. Make sure to get at least 8-8.5 hours, every night. You'll start seeing the benefits very quickly. You may feel more rested and be tempted to stay up later. Don't do that. Get your 8 hours, every night.

Lol I'm always horrified when I read what it's like for them. I feel like almost every other kind of developer is well paid and appreciated, yet for some reason game devs seem to always be overworked, underpaid and underappreciate

Holy moly - 6 days a week? I can't fathom having to do that at a salaried job and staying for more than two weeks. Unless they were paying me an obscene amount of money, but even then, I'd probably be on the look out for something

That's the only thing that really separates these services. They all have similar catalogs and features for the most part. The issue I have is with the exclusivity deals that come up as part of them trying to compete with each other.

I read the article - the pros seems to be: - Ad free music - Listen offline - More tracks from established creators The first two are a given with any streaming service. My point was their catalog isn't enough to make me switch over. A

I'm not sure I see what this is really offering customers. It seems like just another paywell for creators to put their content behind. While that's good for them, as a consumer I don't really have much motivation to sign up

This is a sad truth that's a lot less flashy of a headline, so it's not surprising it's not covered. You're unlikely to see an article with the title: "People who buy stupid shit they don't need and can't

That's the problem with any social network that allows this. Upvoting and downvoting has less to do with whether a comment is correct or true, and more about whether the hivemind behind the community agrees with it. A great example wou

Step 1. Learn how to code Step 2. Get someone to pay you for it On how to be a good programmer though, this seems like a solid guide. Looking forward to reading through more of it.

My only issue with iOS is that Safari doesn't play WebM. You have to download and open them with the VLC app. I wish they would just accept that it's a solid format and adapt it, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Most people just don't know any better. And when the social norm is spending all your money (and then some) on things you don't need, most people don't even realize there's another option. I myself didn't realize un

Financial worth comes from your net worth, yes. But your worth as a human being isn't related to any of that.

I'm sad that I can't disagree with you. Most people don't realize how much those monthly (and daily) expenses add up. A huge failing of our society is that we don't teach people how to be responsible with money. All they

I'd disagree, no one is forcing people to buy iPhones. If the kids all have iPhones, then they have parents who aren't very good at not buying things they can't afford and teaching their kids that worth doesn't come from

Is the iPad Pro a feasible replacement for an actual computer? Not even close. Not until it runs a version of OS X. Was apple mocking poor people? Of course not. It's 2016. Can we stop overreacting about every little thing yet?

What I mean by that is it gives you the choice of what kind of work you do, and when you do it. If you're financially independent, you are free to do what you like with your time. For example, when I (hopefully) reach that point, I&#x2
