Not zero (taxes, upkeep, etc), but yes. This is the main thing.

This sounds really expensive! No mention in the article of how she managed it.

Not sure, but maybe the ability to use whatever graphics card you want?

> it was decided that the design should work in all terrains to be more cost-effective. I'm not sure they know what "camouflage" means, because that sounds like it should be impossible.

Wow, I'd be surprised if some young congressperson doesn't make their career by publicly eviscerating Boeing soon.

It's better than "be good". Getting interviews isn't the hard part. Getting through them is.

Honestly? Make stuff. Get patches submitted to relevant open source projects. Make a small project that's actually finished (bonus if it's demo-able).

No the OP, but: They're likely viewing them as similar to certifications. Different industries treat certifications differently. Enterprise technologies like Java and .NET and IBM products are helpful if you are aiming for that sort of

It seems the ones in the article end after you pay off 2.5x the original loan, at least.

by larrik 8y ago
Well, a loan ends after you pay back the principal, this only seems to end after a certain period of time, even if you end up in a great job and having to pay back 3x or 4x the loan. Whether this is still worth it depends heavily on whether

I don't really see the connection between my comment and yours...

Not super obvious, but the "no one wants" in the title is referring to that explicitly.

I signed up in 2004 and never stopped. I bumped up to Blu-Ray too (and get pretty annoyed when a DVD shows up instead of a Blu-Ray...) I love streaming TV shows, but for movies I just don't like it. I don't even know why.

I don't think you can, and worse, iTunes used to have free radio stations that were pretty decent, but are now locked behind the Apple Music paywall. Radio is an area that Spotify falls flat on its face. If I want to listen to random h

I did that. Then I went back to Spotify and simply do both.

I call this the "sales mindset" vs the "accounting mindset". In my opinion, once you see the accounting mindset take hold of the leadership of a company, it's prospects are dead. It's not growing any more. Gran

> What I'm trying to do is keep tweeting therefore they can't take it if it's active. Good luck with that, Twitter has a long history of taking handles on behalf of brands and celebrities...

They're basically the only non-Apple streaming service WITH a desktop player, though. They even have a Linux client!

Usually the publication would pay for it to ensure a fair review and to hide the fact that they are reviewing it, which may skew the results.

The margins on pizza are crazy. You're probably looking at a dollar or less in materials cost for a cheese pizza.

I always assumed it was because your frame of reference gets longer and longer. For a 5 year old, a day is 1/1825 of their entire life, whereas for a 50-year-old it's a smaller piece of your life by a factor of 10.

It started like a decade ago, I think? It's gotten a lot worse, though. It's like they really really want you to only watch shows on Bluray or streaming.

Yes, this was the whole point of Google, and how they beat Yahoo, etc.

> On TV, the ground rules are clearer: Ads come when the show takes a break. Except this isn't true at all. For one, they run ads over the top of shows (which is super obnoxious), but at least they tend to be for other shows rather

I removed them from my speech, and started getting complaints that people think my phone call dropped... Guess I don't talk fast enough to eliminate them.

That's only one kid, though. If you have 3 or 4 kids, the difference isn't close anymore.

This doesn't make any sense. There's no scenario that keeping the DB limited to being accessed by Heroku dynos would make it less secure than leaving it open to the internet AND all of the other ways you can access it currently.
