The trick is to maintain your job during the recessions and keep investing. Easier said than done, but if you do succeed, you'll be in very good shape when the market bounces back during the next cycle.

I presume this is a joke, but, if not, good luck. If you can pick the next Google reliably, you're presumably already worth tens of millions.

It seems like a middle-class existence should still be quite trivial to provide for most Americans. We can afford universal healthcare, but we can't afford a system of for-profit insurers, unconstrained pricing, non-negotiated drug pri

Oh yeah, sorry about the confusion. iMessage through iCloud.com

I'd kill for a way to use iMessage on my Windows desktop, so Apple is doing a great, albeit frustrating, job selling the Apple ecosystem. Wish I could at least use icloud.com. Even went as far as to look into how hard it would be to us

I've heard that advice as well, and I'm guessing it's either from slum-lords or landlords that haven't encountered tenants willing to hire lawyers. Probably a viable strategy for very-low income tenants and college stude

Fair enough. I did not consider that aspect. I'd still hope there would be a slightly less annoying way to accomplish that though.

While the ads and bloatware Microsoft was specifically trying to get away from in the 2000-2010ish era coming back, but this time packaged by Microsoft themselves, is absolutely baffling, the Cortana voice playing when you install Windows 1

If an industry requires illegal subsidies to thrive, there is no industry. They should naturally go bankrupt. If a nation decides it is important enough to subsidize (i.e. strategic food stock to feed a populace), then they should do so thr

Interesting. Assuming "enterprise" really is that big of a deal in this arena, they had a chance to integrate with Red Hat's customer base and lost it to IBM. I suspect IBM will handily pull into third unless they manage the

To others thinking about doing this: keep in mind this is against the law in the United States. Even if it's for a "good cause", you can't just "pen-test" (hack) anyone you want. Granted, I really doubt anyone

Why should that be stopped? That should be part of the risk the underwriters take into account when making the loan. Of course, the outcome of that would be that a large number of degree programs would no longer offer any meaningful loans,

Shucks. No ipv6 support in my area.

Sure, but when does not paying for quality peering become throttling? To me it’s the same thing — just a stealthy workaround. A few months to a year? Poor peering, sure. Longer than that? Intentional.

Nope. I’ll try that out. My modem is only getting a ipv4 address right now, but maybe I can configure it.

I've had Centurylink for years (fiber and DSL) and they consistently seem to throttle most video sites. Netflix/youtube has always been hit or miss. If you ask about this on reddit or dslreports you immediately get shills claiming

Well, I certainly wouldn't, but in four to five years if I need a general purpose server, it'd be nice to install Linux.

And private sector is far, far more stressful. Instead of worrying about whether or not you'll get a week of back-pay, you have to worry about how you're going to feed your family and keep a roof over your head after your job is t

You are vastly, vastly discounting the value of the benefits. THE most secure pension in the world (you cannot buy one that good on the private market), incredible health benefits, incredible vacation policies, lax work policies for most jo

Goodness. Sounds like some high quality software you’re working on.

Do a majority of public high school teachers still enjoy pensions, three month breaks a year, and legendary job security, or is that going away as well?

And, just as Fedora's mind share was really starting to take off, specifically with the HN crowd, IBM goes and buys the company.

Man, allergists might actually have to do some real science soon instead of coasting on diphenhydramine, prednisone, selling shots, and various other remedies that haven't changed since 1955. Oh yeah, forgot monoclonal antibodies, the

Citation? Brain drain, so that Silicon Valley can produce various ride-sharing and world-changing pizza delivery apps, is better for the world? I certainly think it's better for the rich as it drives the stock market up, but a blanket

The workforce leaves because the company doesn't raise the salary to account for new training. You can't have it both ways.

Sounds like you need to pay more, have a better working environment, else work on your recruiting pipeline. A phone interview should be able to sniff that out quickly.

I get this same feeling reading the bogleheads.org investment forum. It's mostly comprised of the 1%, and while the investing advice really is wonderful, a lot of the questions asked are to the tune of "Is 3-10 million dollars eno
