Given Kape's past history, I'm skeptical that PIA will be able to maintain their current levels of privacy regarding data mining and logging. I'm willing to give PIA the benefit of the doubt and accept that they believe they&

This comment surprised me, as I have a BS in math and Laplace transforms were not something I was required to learn for the degree (although I had the option to take courses as electives that covered them). My university offers a math degre

100% on the test is 150% beyond what would be expected from the absolute worst case real life scenarios. It would require extraordinary circumstances beyond what has been seen or modeled in reality to push an actual flight to these limits.

The other child thread helps to explain where my discrepancy came from. Most companies prefer to have a unified pay schedule, so if there are workers in the company that you'd expect to pay bi-weekly/semimonthly (such as hourly wa

Thanks for the followup, this puts a lot in perspective. The article notes: > In March 2013, 94.8 percent of private businesses were single-pay-period businesses meaning that most companies pay all workers on the same schedule. Therefore

That's very surprising to me. In case I wasn't clear, I'm referring specifically to salaried pay and not hourly pay, where more frequent payouts are the norm. Admittedly, I only have my own anecdotal evidence among my own exp

To contextualize this: A big problem with current cryptocurrency exchanges is that they're centralized. In order to trade on them, you have to take coins out of your own wallet and send them to the exchange's wallet, which you don
