Are you talking about data above the 21GB limit on their "unlimited" plan or the 2G data you get after going above your data limits on the lower plans? I only pay for the 1GB plan but I haven't found it unusable when I go abo

Their marketing is pretty clear for the plans that have soft data limits but they hide their throttling for the "unlimited" plan in the fine print. http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/individual.html &gt

The average retail investor is doing just fine. Anyone who did something as basic as hold an S&P 500 ETF is up quite a bit from the crash.

Credit card processing does seem to be moving towards real-time. Lately I've found more and more merchants where I get a notification on my phone instantly after my Amex is swiped.

I just interviewed at a company that asked me to invert a binary tree on a (virtual) whiteboard. In fact, they asked me twice! Once in the initial technical interview, again in the follow-up! Haven't heard back yet but I'm reall

That one clearly does, hence the throwaway. (edit: parent edited post, this no longer makes sense. Original was about revolutionaries never expecting the guillotine to fall on their own neck)

There has been no violence in this situation.

How do you reconcile your statement that "I have not called for violence against any person and do not condone it." and your tweet about being "100% okay" with a violent "antifa" movement? http://pop

I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused by that. I'd never heard of Spark the micro-framework and thought the author had somehow Spark the cluster framework into this article.

You're not fooling anyone.

While I don't entirely disagree, I wonder how you would run that sort of experiment. I've been on the interviewing side of the hiring table and if someone had brought up politics—either side—I would probably leave with a sour tas

How does shunning someone for their political beliefs help advance your own beliefs? Seriously. Refusing to professionally engage with someone due to private political beliefs will do nothing but strengthen the resolve behind that belief.

This incident reminds me of growing up as the son of an oil company's PR man in the Bay Area. We lived in one of the small towns in the North Bay. My father handled public and government relations for the oil refinery in that small to

> And what the fuck kind of concept is "out of state" tuition anyways? Seriously? Huh? You and your family didn't pay the taxes that allow for the in-state rates. Why should you be able to move there and take advantage?

You probably flew out of Narita. Haneda is 20 minutes.

You can't just hop on any train anymore, that's the problem. Many high-speed routes require reservations and a surcharge. Those are also the trains most likely to have conductors who actually know the rules.

I always got a kick of the compliments I received from humanities professors in college when I wrote my papers in LaTeX with CM.

Non-European citizens can't use Interrail. There's a similar product called Eurail but with the discounts available for advance-purchase tickets, the pass often doesn't make sense if you're traveling with a relatively s

Err, Europe has credit bureaus too: http://aei.pitt.edu/33375/1/ACCIS-Survey_FinalReport_withCov... Jump to page 31 to see what is stored by the bureaus in each country.

When I got my first job after college I somehow stumbled upon Bogleheads.org after receiving an indecipherable 401k information packet and trying to figure out what to do. An invaluable resource, their wiki led me to the church of low-cost

A few things about that: 1) The beer isn't free, the passenger paid for the entire can or used a 1K drink chit. 2) UA flight attendants are famous for making up rules and many try to avoid handing out entire cans of soda, and this one
