Exactly. I now make more than double of the highest-grossing year from my 20's. This article is just fear mongering. If you belong to the group of people reading comments on HN, you are able to drop in and out of the work force as you

Really interesting! Could you further explain how you grouped points into buildings (as shown on slide 10)? I would imagine that different sections of the city have different distance thresholds, for instance. Were they determined by hand o

As a female, thank you for your post. I should also mention, I find this attitude very attractive, and if you are single, I would like to take you out to dinner. As long as you don't mind, of course, that I will pay with all the money
