Older people are more likely to have a spouse with insurance or to already be freelancing/contracting and used to providing their own insurance. Even in the days before Obamacare, I think there was a short time you were allowed to be u

People should know this though. My auto mechanic (in the US) charges $90/hr plus costs. I don't think he's making $180K/yr and even if he were, it's the market rate.

Sounds like a solution which increases bureaucracy and spending yet has the plausible objective of fighting crime. I can see why this issue never goes away.

Things like backoffice code which are very specific to one business. Or something like the Javascript that ties together the widgets of a GUI. These types of things are basically only useful in exactly the context they're currently bei

I think technology will eventually solve this problem through P2P sites that no one owns. Ads will still exist but they'll be mostly as endorsements, official sponsorships, and infomercials (e.g., any corporate blog). People who can&#x

For JavaScript and CSS it's a lot of googling. Mostly because they have no standards you can rely on. For a language like Java, I mostly google to see if what I want to do already exists in an Apache library or is now part of the lates

I guess the emphasis is on trust and not so much on coin . Double-spends and coin creation are handled by trust. Everyone's sort of their own central bank. I guess that could be acceptable but it's concerning that anyone who&#x

Given the market cap of Facebook is $245 billion and it has 1.44 billion active users, then each user is $170 (170 == 245/1.44). If each user generates $1 for Facebook each quarter, that's $4/yr which is an annual return of 2

I'm starting to feel like a grey neckbeard. In my day, when I wanted to hang out with my friends, I called them, from a landline, known simply as "the phone". These days, I'm at or near a desktop/laptop computer alm

It's basically the GNU Classpath wording, but I had to modify it slightly to achieve my goals [1]. Part of the wording about the objective (the first sentence) was shamelessly borrowed from the Mattermost project [2]. GNU Classpath is

Recently in my projects I've gone to AGPL with a linking exception for unmodified versions. For me I think it's the right balance between freedom for users and freedom for developers (while they may be making proprietary software

I'd vote for removing dead/useless code, reducing scope/visibility, making things immutable, and running an auto-formatter. In the case your code is being re-used by outsiders, in an API or something, yeah bad naming ends up

Someone asked for sources in this thread. GP provided the NPR source for: "The US government just cut down the amount of fluorine in the water supply." That was heavily downvoted. So I provided the source for GP's other state

In practice, the client has zero friction in firing you (legally or from HR). Especially if contractors are working remotely, firing one is as simple as filing an IT ticket to cut off privileges/pay. As a worker you get none of the tax

In the US I more often see "contractors" who are official employees of a consulting firm and work alongside and onsite with normal employees of the firm's client. If the client ends the contract, the firm will soon fire you i

The way I read it, they have no plans in 2015/2016. Longer-term, we plan to incrementally replace components in Gecko with ones written in Rust and shared with Servo. We are still evaluating plans to ship Servo as a standalone product

Companies described like that tend to be for underpaid workaholics. Also I think the "work hard play hard" phrase implies an unhealthy culture of excess. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/is-work-hard-play-hard-code

That's not the scenario I was referring to. The second quote was just to show the hypocrisy (of the scenario in the first quote). What you're describing is covered by contract law I guess. Contracts can also be trumped by law. E.g
