Clapper didn't get punished because he did his job. Lying and spying is what he's been paid and ordered to do. If he didn't commit perjury my guess is that he would have been disappeared. I'm not arguing for him or the s

The problem is that I typically work for small startups that don't have a big budget to work with. I'm also not sure what sort of data the people in this thread are working with. I can't make $125k per year in the midwest as

Based in the midwest. I agree that $60 per hour is low. If you know of anyone who will pay more, please send them my way :)

I never made a dime or had any positive experience with Linkedin. Just recruiter spam and "friends" begging for endorsements... so I don't think you're missing out on anything.

I torched my linkedin account a while back after recruiters wouldn't stop hounding me. I also despise social networks of all sorts so that contributed to my decision. Before I torched it though I tried a little experiment. I left my te

12 years of professional programming here. I almost killed myself about two years ago. Have had depression since I was a kid. I saw a doctor, got on meds, went to a therapist and started feeling slightly better for about a year on and off.

All excellent points that I agree with. Absolutely a disability from standard human terms, did not mean to argue that. I only meant his brain is still incredibly sharp, and from that aspect he's at no disadvantage.
