By that rationale you could wonder why anyone eats at a restaurant when the components are so much cheaper if you buy them yourself. Not a perfect analogy but the value add is they are packaging up what you need, giving you instructions, et

In most cases you can remotely wipe the compromised device but it will take some small amount of time to do so. You can also de-authorize the device in your password manager, etc.

Because life is about the journey and not the destination. The destination (barring religious ideas) is the same for all of us. I enjoy running and walking as an adult since about hs age. As a kid I loved riding my bike too. Going at a slo

I recently discovered a large portion of my windows 7 partition was due to space set aside for system restore. Then there is the swap space and hibernation image which if you have a lot of ram is enormous.

Maybe the tech shop in SF too. Go on meetup.com as there are always tons of events/talks on different topics. Search for your preferred language, platform, db, etc. Amazon Aws pop-up loft often has events.

The problem is you are probably going to live in your house for 5 to 30+ years. There is not guarantee the sane governance your HOA provides today won't be insane next year. I am thinking of buying a house in the coming years and plan

Is that true? You could not have a clause that allows people to see source but pay to run it? I know Chef now has a new revenue model where version 12 is free but if you want various modules enabled like a webui you need to pay.

I wonder if that's true. It's incredible how deep chutes get dug on heavily used mountain bike trails. They might contribute more heavily to erosion because the surface area is so much smaller. Sort of how a woman in high heels ha

Yes this is the same CEO but your summary isn't quite right. He was trying to figure out a pros and cons of Uber vs. Zenefits and for instance he asked: "My biggest problem with Zenefits is that it isn't a buzzword like Uber.

Finally an actual factual and interesting comment instead of moralizing. Apparently 16 year olds cannot drink or have consensual sex (in most states) but are capable of taking out loans for hundred of thousands of dollars and make accurate

Huh? He gives at least one example as to why he is concerned: > I once saw an adjunct not get his contract renewed after students complained that he exposed them to "offensive" texts written by Edward Said and Mark Twain. His r

A bottle of wine is 5 x 5 ounce servings. 750 ml is 25.4 fluid ounces. Where do you get 10 from?

Most of these password managers support 2 factor auth. And personally I would consider it unwise not to use 2 factor if your passwords are kept in the cloud (as opposed to a local password vault).

I think that keeps me from wanting to have kids (besides my own innate selfishness and desire to continue investing all my energy into myself/gf vs. little ones). I would want to provide them the luxury of being a silly kid and the abi

In the end it's not that big a deal because there are tons of places and ways to have a happy life and be a "success" (whatever that is). But it takes time and experience to learn that. The kids I spoke of lived in shady cany

I used to live in Irvine which strikes me as very similar to PA (I live Mountain View now). The pressure put on kids there is incredible. And it starts from a very young age. Frankly the kids are way, way sharper than most adults I meet. Ev

It's sort of a self fulfilling prophecy. If you take a car everywhere and barely move then by the time you hit 65 you will be in pain all the time and won't be self-sufficient. If you are constantly active you will usually have mu

I always dress for an interview one step above the "norm" as a nod to the formality of the occasion. So if everyone dresses in jeans and a t-shirt I might wear slacks and a polo or jeans and a button down shirt. If they wear busin

Except something I read recently said you should not do that either unless they somehow give signs that is something they are interested in. At this point I have just given up. I did ask a woman colleague about this a while ago before I was

There is no form of ID required to walk around in the US. If I am not driving I don't have to carry my DL. If a police officer asks you to stop and what your name is, you ARE required to ID yourself in most states but not to prove it v

Rape doesn't have to be violent. The person could have decided she was into it even though she was saying no, no, no and just proceeded. Presumably she didn't report the rape for her own reasons. I can only imagine how painful it
