I love Houston. I lived there for several years growing up, having moved their from the SF Bay Area. Yes, it has sprawl like none other. From the westernmost point on I-10 to the easternmost is about 50 miles and growing every year. Yes

That's how my parents were. When I was 18 or so my father walked me through his income and all his retirement accounts, wills, life insurance policies, etc. He wanted me to understand at least the basics of his finances in case anyth

Saudi Aramco is probably the largest but since they aren't publicly traded, we don't really know. Estimates put their annual profit at ~$180 billion, so their quarterly revenue would be ~2.5x Apple's.

The industry refers to it as "prospecting for oil on the floor of the stock exchange." Moments like this will cause a lot of oil companies to become financially untenable as their market value falls below the long-term value of t

All of OPEC has been falling for the marketshare scramble for much of the last 30 years, this is a key reason why their ability to maintain pricing power has diminished. Whenever the price of oil falls below OPEC's established floor, S

At least parts of SA had competition, since there were neighborhoods served by both TWC and Grande. Long before Google Fiber I remember actually getting better speeds than I paid for on Grande. I think I was paying $25/25mbps and see

I store about a terabyte on S3. It costs us $25 a month. If I spend more than a few minutes a month administering an alternative setup, I've lost money compared to just paying S3.

The people doing this also aren't likely doing visa runs, they'll just come in under the 30-day visa free entry and then go home once it expires. Much harder to get caught that way. Though I did read rumors of Thai police crackin

I've only been to Koh Phangan and Koh Samui before so I'm definitely looking forward to checking out the Andanaman Sea side. Since I'll be working I decided I don't want to move around islands, just pick one place and w

At the end of the week I'm setting out on something similar. I work for a startup that lets employees work one month a year from anywhere. I'm flying to Hong Kong and then onwards to Koh Lanta in Thailand for a month. Beautiful

I spoke without double-checking our account. We did receive a response about the forum creation problem and that was the result of my own misunderstanding. I'll update my original post.

edit: I was wrong. Ignore what was here before, AWS did respond and I just didn't notice. Apologies to AWS for speaking out of turn.

I think I would quit in about ten minutes if I had to put up with someone else's music choices. I don't even like putting up with my own when I'm working but I'm forced to to drown out everyone else.
