   That's interesting but according to your link, Advance Premium Tax Credit <> Refundable Credit. In practice, what will be the difference? How does an existing high-deductible plan compare to a Bronze plan with the Advanced Premi

   At this point the fine is still imaginary. Nobody has a $1000 fine in their mailbox yet. People are used to getting money back from the IRS. Most people don't understand what a bill from the IRS means. How many people even know t

   This is what I think will happen: 1% of uninsured will jump through all the hoops and apply for a subsidy (which is more complicated and more expensive than just picking up the phone and calling BCBS for a high-deductible plan.) 9% of unin

   That style of art did influence me in art school back in the 90s, I was working with a free beta version of Rhino3D. Rhino3D.com only a few years ago removed my 1990s models from their galleries but here's what I'm talking about,

   I agree. Seems their strategy is to offer some teaser feature/product/whatever and the only way to access it is to create a new Google Plus account. So now I have THREE separate Google Plus accounts. Personal, Business and now

   Seems to me someone with this much skill/ability could easily make $100k/year ($100 x 1000 successful app months) plus pension/benefits just working for the government. 10x easier work with 10x the pay and more stability. A

   I disagree. Nobody at Google would have a job if it wasn't for Adsense/Adwords, which hasn't changed since the Goto.com days. It's a fancy click counter script paying everyone's salary. Search = content to sell c

   I hate to play Devil's advocate (please prove me wrong) but you have almost a million app downloads (more successful than most) and high school kids at Taco Bell make more than you. And that's before taxes. What will you owe the

    Same here but I find few people comment on the articles or get involved in the comments. Seems that's one area where Google Plus is winning.

    Would be nice if Gmail's "Spam" button actually blocked future emails from that same person indefinitely! Sometimes they get around filters by sending from different emails, that's really annoying. I should probably qui

    You're talking about the "skills" section. I don't need to work with jQuery directly to know John Smith wrote my company's jQuery code and he has that skill. If you want to write an in-depth review of John Smith&#

    I don't think he mentioned safety or crime either. Law enforcement varies state to state, town to town. Off-limits neighborhoods, speed traps, tricky intersections where accidents are common, quirky customs and conventions. Gang colo

    You didn't need a comma here: "at times and it slowed" Or here: "can be tricky and I sometimes struggle" Granted, you might want a dramatic pause or the comma might break up parts that could be misconstrued as toget

    I don't think they should make such broad generalizations about the tech industry because of three 20-something guys from San Francisco, New York City, who aren't even employed by any large, reputable technology company.

    I disagree he got lucky. "Pud" is brilliant. Isn't this the guy that created TinyLetter, Adbrite, F-company? This stuff is legendary.

    Is that true for anyone? If someone I really respect is encouraging me, that's very persuasive but there are so many forces at work when choosing a career, I don't think there's any way to quantify that decision. But of cour
