A good github repo does go a long way. I have one project I did as an interview 'test' that I leave up there simply because it shows my thought process etc. It was not a proprietary thing so no sensitive information is in it.

This is tied to their own Mortgage operations rather than those they bought with Countrywide (disclaimer: I worked at Countrywide for six years). As the article notes though: "The bank’s acquisition of mortgage giant Countrywide Financ

I find it interesting that so many people have a hard time comprehending Freelancing yet support entrepreneurs. An insurance or mortgage broker is ultimately a Freelancer who can sell their output to a corporation and I doubt any of them fa

Admittedly it is theater but even a symbolic defunding like this can help. If nothing else it is impressive to see that this issue has so much bipartisan traction in the most divided House since before the Civil War.

What is interesting is that if the bill passes with a 2/3 majority Presidents are unlikely to use the Veto. Nothing stops them from vetoing it but they usually take the passing with that strong of a margin as an indication that the vet

I cannot imagine being that age and having that sort of media scrutiny much less while dealing with potentially losing both parents. I do not excuse the actions and certainly the adult in his life played a role. But to have Walker Cronkite

I think it is because they live in a world where secrets are to be kept no matter the cost in the end. This article is just another step in the progressive revelations that have totally destroyed their credibility yet they do not care.

"Neckbeards sending FOIA requests isn't serving any purpose." Could you be more judgmental? Whomever is sending these requests, shaving habits aside, may not adhere to your premise that 'The best outcome here is to get t

It should have been one of those news stories that are saved for the 'look at the absurdity' humor sections of the news. It does seem to illustrate the political fighting that has gripped the nation though. The Mayor and DA hold o

Whatever you do, do not submit McLibel as a favorite moment. They have no sense of humor about it.

The reason I post is that the NSA, DOD and HUAC started a smear campaign. The duo defected because of their frustration at NSA activities not being reported to Congress. Might be some parallels to today.

I am glad to hear that more is coming out about his death. I think, slowly, Yuri Gagarin's place in American history is being solidified. It would be interesting to find out the process that Gagarin was chosen as the first man. The pol
