Stipend probably depends a lot on the area of study. For the ones I've heard about (a lot) it's universally around $12k a year USD.

Your second to last paragraph is a great way to word a conversation I'm about to have. Thanks!

Dumping it all at once is what I had in mind.

I've always thought this was a good idea, glad to see someone doing it.

I wonder if it'd be possible to sign the JS a site serves you, so you know it's unchanged from when you originally got it?

One could make the argument that Americans deserve American jobs more than foreigners because the vast majority of Americans have been contributing to American society their entire lives through their work and taxes and will most likely con

No, it would cause a pretty big swing. Large sums like this are unlikely to be put on an exchange, though - they'd be done through a private sale.

The issue is the same information is available from other sources without a paywall and the difference in information or insight is negligible for articles like this.

I would guess it's running at like a thousand FPS, could be wrong though.

A lot of apps collect this information. There are flashlight apps that collect the same level. This is nothing new.

Or they could be less confusing with their writing, use "raises the question" like they intended to, and not look stupid in the process.

I don't get why people defend incorrect language usage but wouldn't defend terrible misspellings, like "definitely" as "defiantly". They're both equally "wrong" but one is acceptable and one isn&

Looks like there was a recent update to the JustFab drama and class action lawsuit: http://abc7news.com/shopping/online-retailer-fined-$18m-for-... (They had to pay out 1.8MM)

I don't understand how professional writers constantly misuse "begs the question".

Not sure how much I trust downloading files from the same area of the internet that sells drugs and has people offering to kill others for money.

My issue with the fork is the two guys who threw together the site to get "FIRST!!" dibs don't actually seem like developers capable or willing to continue the fork themselves. They just want credit for the work they want oth

If this happened in the US they'd be slammed to the concrete in handcuffs, tried as an adult, and thrown in prison for 10 years for various wire fraud, hacking, and probably some sort of terrorist charges.

I think the real issue here is that SpaceX has to compete on a global scale and American patents don't do anything to stop foreign companies or agencies from taking their technology. I doubt there is much, if any, competition in the US

I'm not saying I endorse the system, I'm simply stating it's the system we live in.

If you can't find any work as a junior web dev at any salary then you're possibly doing something wrong with your resume or interview. It's impossible to give feedback on that without more info.

I think the people behind TrueCrypt deserve some recognition - they solved an extremely difficult problem much better than it had ever been solved before. It's unfortunate they never got Windows 8 compatibility before shutting down.

This looks like a bootstrap site that was thrown together in an hour by two guys with twitter accounts and $10 for a domain name. I really doubt they're going to be doing any dev work.

This is pretty much the norm today, though. Cheaper kindles come with ads. Laptops and phones come with bundled software that the developers paid to be on there. The menus in your cable service have ads. Movies have ads. They're everyw

Bitmessage is a beautiful concept but I've read many people having concerns over several aspects of how secure it really is. I hope the entire web one day works on a similar model.

Analytics for marketing or other purposes might be interesting, but really as I said above, I sort of enjoy programming and don't want to spend the rest of my life buried in Excel sheets. I also think there's more money in program

The issue is they want a below-average skill set for the position. I can't exactly sell the fact that my below average skills matches the job well.

The ability to make six figures is easier as a developer for the introverted type like me. I could work towards getting a job at hedge fund or something and try to be a portfolio manager and make lots of money, but I worked at a hedge fund
