Australia requires US citizens get a visa to visit. It's not an all around bromance.

Even if you write RPM/DEB's to install all of your config files, you'll need something to trigger installation after you've updated your packages. How are you going to do that? SSH to every server? That doesn't scal

Sadly, these are multi-family homes in a single family home. It's a lot of 7-8 people (multi-generation) families under one roof. Not stereotyping, that's the demographic. It's also why you get a lot of growhouses and brothel

Why do tech people insist on living in luxury, brand-new hotels err high rise buildings in SF? Do they think that's what it is to "make it?" There are much, much nicer places to live in SF rather than SOMA or Market St. Most

You can always drink on the ferries.

Sadly, the fermosan termites will take out the French Quarter before any flood does.

But no one wants to live in the Sunset. You can build out there all you want. The weather is crummy and it takes an hour to get downtown on the bus. That's why it's mostly brothels and growhouses (exaggeration).

Right, but you can't build those everywhere. There are chunks of the city that are landfill (old ships, gravestones, etc) which are seismically unfit to hold a large building, even with pilings. As a kid, my wife grew up always wanting

That's a major over exaggeration and you know it. Name any neighborhood in the city, and I'll give you at least one place open until midnight. You probably couldn't see anything open from your hotel in Union Square or SOMA, b

I was implying that Branson actually wanted the sale, too.

Have his relationships with the majority shareholders deteriorated that much? It sounds like there was more going on than we know, and the non voting ability was a convenient scapegoat. That or they all wanted to cash out and bank a nice pa

Chilly market? We're less than 100 points off the all time high in SPX (which was set last year). You could say the bull run is in its last stages, but it's far from chilly.

Lease payments are about half as much as purchase payments. You're only paying for the depreciation in a lease.

I've seen a test version of the Model X driving around San Francisco. Its looks are pretty retch. I'm not going to say it will be a flop, but its sales won't be anything close to the 3 nor S. If they're smart, they'

Probably leases? They only offer leases on the Model S AFAICT.

That's a > $600 car payment every month assuming 60 months and 3% interest. That's out of reach of most American families.

This is a very simplistic, binary view of the world. Just because the Internet's view of a product differs from the author's, it doesn't make the Internet wrong. It means the author probably needs to step back and re-evaluate

by scurvy 11y ago
It's not a binary thing. You can regulate out fraud, abuse, and DDoS attacks without harming the legitimate use cases. It's like selling alcohol (cigarettes, porn, gambling), but not to minors. You can say "it's OK for t

That's definitely a legitimate point, but not the main point IMHO. The main point is that Tor makes zero effort to clean up the problem and uses the legitimate Tor users as helpless, scapegoated victims and a bullying tactic. "But

Bitcoin thieves and malware scammers buy gift cards and prepaid cards on Rakuten with bitcoin to convert their gains to non-Internet-funny-money. Ship to the foreclosed house at the end of block. Done without anyone being the wiser.

Maybe I'm a cranky, old-school network operator, but this is a very cut and dry problem. Tor runs a network that is rife with abuse and fraud. Tor needs to clean up and police its network. If it doesn't, it will be put on blacklis

I think you meant to type "money losing tech stocks" instead to find just "tech stocks." Profitable tech stocks are doing quite well. The ones you mentioned largely lose money or have drastically cut forecasts.

MS is drastically far from that.

Wait, if the bad influence of riff raff is kept out, what's to explain the staggering teen suicide rate in Palo Alto? It's the best place in the world! Our high cost of living dictates it!

That's still outrageously high for what they do. OK, mark down Betterment in the deadpool for me.

by scurvy 11y ago
Why would Wealthfront or Betterment need massive amounts of VC funding? I'd imagine that their overhead is pretty low. The biggest item is probably marketing expense which they can adjust depending on the environment. Totally unsolicit

Sorry, I meant NS glue changes on .com, not SOA.

You're right. Sorry I meant the NS glue records. Those have a 1 day minimum TTL. If you're not already running multiple providers, switching after one is down won't help much.
