Being able to do ridiculous nonsensical problems with b-trees, it's the most important skill any developer can have... That and "rewrite this paragraph backwards, with every word ending in a consonant in pig-latin"... type of things..
You make good points. I'm a senior software engineer in the Atlanta area and I make just over 100k, that's a joke by valley standards I have dreamed about going out to California and working with one of big tech rockstar companies (Apple, Google, Netflix, etc.), if they'd actually have me that is...
but the truth is now that I'm past 40, they probably wouldn't have me... and even if they did, I wouldn't go.. I'm all in (taxes, interest, principle, insurance, HOA) on my mortgage for slightly over 1000 bucks, and that is for the number 1 public school district in the the state (Forsyth)
The average home PC not getting any better is driven by market demand From the 90's, to about 2010 or so, I would upgrade my parents' machine every 2 to 3 years.
Now that they are on an SSD and 16 gig of RAM there is absolutely no reason to.
What I've seen from most of these studies is that the beneficial affects of moderate drinking is irrespective of the form of alcohol consumed...
I would seem like a glass of dark red wine would be better for you than a pabst blue ribbon, resveratrol and all that jazz.. But it doesn't appear to be the case.
Trying to boil diet down to some kind of simplistic equation, this=good, that = bad, doesn't work My personal anecdote, my grandmother, of eastern European descent, ate potatoes, in some form, with nearly every meal (EWWW CARBS), and nearly every day would eat sausage or low grade, hi fat cuts of pork or beef (jowls etc...), for lunch and dinner... Also lots of cabbage, turnips, and vegetables of that type...
lived to be 98, and was physically and cognitively intact all but the last 5 years or so.
There is no simple equation, except maybe, don't be a fatass, and try to not eat food that comes off an assembly line.
Just an FYI: My comment was an allusion to a famous quotation in recent US political history... Not a lawyerly critique of the fundamental nature of a TOS
because, they're all just luddites.. filthy, crabby luddites.
"He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

Perhaps this is where God took all the water from the great flood
no, no no... a few low-level engineers... it's always a few low-level engineers....
We are
when the great flood happened in 4004BC many of the order "scientists" use to date things got all messed up
It seems likely, given the nature of Uber, Silicon Valley, and San Francisco, that diversity goals may have played a role in his hire
So you are saying, just from reading the article, that this guy was just an affirmative action token hire..?

Ubuntu is by far the buggiest OS ever released, open source or proprietary.
That's why I stick with stable, bug-free, Windows ME, although I'm hearing good things about Vista

1 or 2 beers in a healthy person with a good diet isn't going to tax your liver or kidneys in any destructive way..
I new a lady who had kidney stone issues who was advised by a doctor to try drinking 1 beer a day.
So if 2 is good, 6 or more must be GREAT, amiright?

Anecdotes are not data, Africa, central Asia, and Oceana are really big, I'm willing to hazard a guess there are places you didn't go.

TOS's, like Laws, are just a god-damned peace of paper
It was 18 degrees in Georgia this month, 18 degrees! global warming LOL
The better, or dear leader is going to be very unhappy.
So li-ions go to 5% of their original capacity in 4 years?
that doesn't sound right

Just to jump on the grumpy old man, It's new and therefore bad, bandwagon, but the latest incarnation of the wireshark UI... hipstery bullshit...
I think you may be overstating it. Nicotine presents cardiovascular issues not found in affine.
Don't blame the victor, Zuckerburg won at life, and to the victor go the spoils.

Parking meters? Yeah, that's possible. We'll just get the old ladies to walk down the middle of the road now the pavement's unavailable.
Seriously now, do you think a parking meter is as wide as a sidewalk?
