I'm also interested in the mounting technology. Roofs have to be replaced occasionally and ripping up solar panels or trying to work around them doesn't look fun at all.
Money is the only answer I can give for myself. I'd much rather do a great many other things, but none offer the immediate gratification of a big fucking paycheck*. It gets harder and harder the older I get, but then someone writes a 5 digit "bonus" check and that keeps me motivated for another year.
Not only that, but they don't have to worry about pesky advertisers complaining about the content, nor do they have to be overly concerned about someone saying "fuck," etc. It's pretty refreshing to see TV-style episodic programming that isn't trying to spoonfeed us as if we're all puritanical morons.
I pretty much stick to several generations-old thinkpads with good success just in case. And I get to miss most of the depreciation value. FWIW, Thinkpad X200s with the higher rez screen is my sweet point (max out the RAM, add SSD), but I can see jumping to an x220 with an i7 and IPS in the next few months.
(i always see these Eastern European/Russian cab drivers playing chess on the trunk/hood of their cabs while waiting for fares by the Beverly Center in LA. I hear it's not an uncommon thing.)
Furthermore, this isn't a direct donation to Hillary, but spread out amongst many different democrat backing organizations. Hillary isn't the only democrat running for office this November and the Dems could be in prime shape to retake the House and the Senate if people don't just assume it's all sewed up already.
You'd think that SpaceX would also carry insurance to protect the customers' payloads. I mean, all sorts of shit can happen before launch; massive hurricane damaging the facilities/launcher/rocket itself, tsunami, earthquake, Bubba driving a forklift into the goddamned thing (i.e. human error), cable/chains breaking while lifting the satellite for mounting, etc etc.
Well, to be fair, most downtowns were/are a mixture of both. Shops on the bottom, housing in the upper floors of many buildings. Offices interspersed. Suburban sprawl really changed the way our cities are set-up.
yes, this is exactly the sort of cheating I'm referring to. It's also how the bots work, by spoofing their gps coordinates and slowly (if they don' want to get caught) update position as if they're walking/biking. Kinda suspicious when you're in LAX at 3:50PM and taking down a portal in North Dakota at 3:55PM. Either that or you're sitting on the secrets behind teleportation.
Honestly, as an Ingress player, the first couple I don't mind; those can be solved by adding more servers and issuing credits/refunds. It's the botting/cheating that irritates the fuck out of me. I get it, for a few people, *that* is the game. But for those of us who actually play, it's really a hot button issue. We have the same spoofing/botting in Ingress, but fortunately the game is relatively small and those guys end up getting caught and even ratted on (if they play IRL) by their teamates because what's the point of an AR game if you don't actually go out and play it? "OH, but it's hot!!!!" Yes, stay inside, play some overwatch or something.
Even India has code bootcamps. They're much cheaper than the US (COL differences), but they have their equivalent fees and structures. I saw them advertised all over the place in Bangalore.
Well... I know some folks that did these bootcamps. They have/had degrees in other subjects, but found they either didn't like that direction in their career or found options limited for whatever reasons (automation, downsizing, etc). So it's not like they have a narrow skillset; many of these folks have quite diverse skillsets. It's just not tech focused. So, they looked at software dev. It seems interesting and hey, everyone always has "an app idea." But they can't get a job doing software dev because the HR drones say they don't have any experience. What to do? Return to college for a 4 year Computer Science degree? Fuck that. So now we see an 8-12 week bootcamp that aims to turn you into a junior developer (and let's be real: that's pretty much what you'll be at this stage). Good enough for web dev, or maybe even simple app dev. We're not talking software engineers architecting an entire Fortune 500's digital data workflow and processing needs.
If I were going to go to a bootcamp, right now would be the ideal time. Bootcamps, at least ones like MakerSquare and HackReactor seem to be very focused on churning out quality students so they can keep their networking/placement deals intact. If they churn out garbage, people quit using them, and then they become "cert mills". There are a lot of law schools that churn out students with $100k in debt and no ability to pass the bar. That's what these bootcamps need to avoid. I fear with easy access to student loans, that's what most will become. The model itself is admirable; and I can't wait to see if we can't eventually have a quality, fully online computer science degree for minimal cost using the lessons being learned in MOOCs.
I'd be interested in seeing if they keep a comparable hourly rate. I've always wanted a part time job paying what I make, on an "hourly" basis (salary blah blah blah). I don't *need* to make $X working 40-60 hours a week. I can get by comfortably on.5-.75 X and would gladly do it 20-30 hours a week so I can focus on projects outside of work.
People will still need blowjobs and other orifices to fill. Even though sexbots and AI will severely cut into it, there's still plenty of rich folks who'd love a live human to treat like garbage. Pucker up, fuckers.
I"m tempted to game the system by creating mini-startups under a larger umbrella and building projects and just not telling them what the company truly is.
"Oh, yeah, I built the backend for a rudimentary blogging site called Ratikal Blogger, they folded 2 years ago as they couldn't get any funding. Then I worked on a MEAN stack project for a secure messaging startup called ShutTheFrontDoor, but while my part was fine, they also failed to attract the funding they needed to continue..." etc etc.

Even the X200/201 series are good, for half that. I'm running Mint on my X200s as my primary travel machine. Easy to upgrade and cheap .

Kinda like /. ? I swear when I load /., i can feel the javascript shuddering through my system.

Someone's going to get this and fuck shit up for the lulz.
Those chinese ebay batteries have never worked for me. Tried replacing my GFs Nexus 5 battery; 3 fucking turds, including one off of amazon. :/

Oddly enough, I don't and mine was less than 15 years ago.
Kinda wish MIPS were still relevant these days.
