This is no different. The onus is on the person renting out their property/room to declare rental income and remit the appropriate taxes. On a side note, it breaks my heart to read "all this money changing hands without being taxed sure see

I am a fan of OSS and wouldn't be particularly worried having my platform be OS, in whole or in part. I hadn't thought of a premium platform on top of the current OSS solution, that's a really good idea and I will need to look into that a l

Do you think this is because the blob found in the middle is likely to have more perimeter squares than edge or corner selections?

I think it's an incorrect assumption that you'll be coming back as a junior (on their part, not necessarily yours). Senior Devs learning new skills do not get bumped down a pay grade or more, with the rare exception that their old skills ar

In what sense? Age? Technical knowledge/ability? I know a programmer in Austin who makes his living in FORTRAN. I'd imagine if he loses that job he's pretty much SOL except for a few niche positions which are likely filled already.

You're right. However, you can blame them for the entitlement almost all of them seem to feel. I say "them" even though I just recently turned 26 and for a long time did have that feeling of entitlement. At the risk of parroting the article

I paused learning Objective C to focused on .Net for my new job, but will be picking it back up shortly. Python is next on my list. And I don't blame you for the C/Perl sentiment :)

I think the biggest benefit to the dashboard is (compared to something like A/B testing) it is much less iterative, so with the exception of adding another graph here or there, when it's "done" it's done. If you have the dashboard at all, i

I strongly suggest you learn Objective C. It's not that hard and when compared with the trash you get using Titanium or PhoneGap it'll put you in a different league professionally. At the very least learn another language, whether it's Pyth

You know what's cooler than a billion dollars? A TRILLION DOLLARS. In all seriousness though, I 100% agree with you, especially on companies that pivot to something lightyears away from their original purpose. Chasing money isn't always a b

Do you have paying customers? I only ask because it really bugs me when an obviously brand new application has a "Most popular" distinction for one of their plans when it's clear that they really mean "Most profitable."

As someone who used to be a janitor I can tell you exactly why most people don't care about them: 95% of the time they're not employees, they're contractors. Every office I've worked in has contracted out the janitorial work to a business

It's terrible that you can't even wait more than a few days before politicizing someone's senseless death. You are a disgusting human being.

In my case, [lastname].com is owned by some domain squatter looking to make a quick buck (or 12k of them last I checked). I own [firstname][lastname].com and that seems to be good, but it'd be cool to have my email me [first]@[last].com and
