Dude, I miss Portland dearly. The GF is down to move to PDX, but she needs to finish her JD and practice for a few years before she can sit the bar in OR.
If you didn't get in in the good old days of, hell, the 90s, buying is not really an option anymore. A house I was looking at sold for $360k. For a 450sq foot house. Just barely bigger than my apartment.
Rents and Housing are absolutely out of control all over LA, not just SFO. I have no idea how anyone affords it on anything less than tech wages unless they're shacking up with 3 people. What's the point of making good money if you're spending it all on rent?
What doesn't sound so great is it will probably end up being a gig-economy style hustle, always trying to get that edge to keep your job. "Oh, Bob, you got 3 certs last month, that's great!, but Susan got 4 and she paid for them on her own dime, sorry, bud, there's the door, get the fuck out."
I"m running a legit copy, haven't seen any ads as of yet on my lock screen. I also went through the options to disable the ads, didn't see the particular option shown. Either I'm behind on my updates or I've already had them disabled.
dun dun dun... by malware delivered through the lock screen ad network...
How hard is it to image the entire storage area on iPhone? Like, a bit for bit copy of everything on it? And then.. just load the image into a vm and brute force the PIN, while leaving the original device intact?
Twelve seats out of 400+. However, they are also sitting on school boards, and the like, making more of a "difference" at the local, not state level. Unfortunately, most of the people who already live there think most of these guys are fucking idiots for doing shit like dropping their pistols on the floor (improperly securing them in their holsters) in the state House, and have basically Ted Cruz'd themselves with the conservatives already in the state. They picked New Hampshire because they liked, generally, what they saw, and are now determined to turn it into hell.

Why do we have to land on first try? I would think we could do like we did with the moon: several manned trips to orbit Mars, test the actual transit technology, with a couple probe drops (and possible launch/recoveries). Kudos for wanting to get it all on the first shot, but this could be several missions before we actually put a boot on the surface and try to return it.
The biggest challenge in my mind are the legions of cheaters who want to game the system (i.e. not doing the work/taking the tests themselves). I mean, this isn't much different from real, physical college, but at least in real, physical college it can be a bit more difficult to do.
I'm currently enrolled in a real credit-granting/transferrable class at edX. I'm personally learning a lot (or, rather, relearning), but I can tell there's a lot of students, based on the discussions, who really aren't up to the level that the class requires*.. This will also always be an issue. I can't imagine what the drop rate looks like.
*meaning if there's a job on the line, it would encourage some folks to engage in less than honest methods to achieve the grads, rather than seek the knowledge
And then you have people that are just assholes. I was more than content to be left to my own devices in school, for example, but there were some fucking jocks who just couldn't let me have my peace. Macho bullshit has been around for a very long time. I don't see any reason to believe that ancient humans also had their fair share of jocked out fuckwads.

This, on the surface, sounds great.

and we will *not* like your posts! Take that, America!

Shut the fuck up, Barbara Hudson.

17 of those Shkreli specials.
Folks, like my parents, who live in the sticks with no real broadband options, as well.
There's a ton of aspie freaks online that can't seem to figure out sarcasm or humor in general, either.
Hrm.. Never knew.

AIM and ICQ. No one uses that shit anymore so it's as good as encrypted to the feds.
"What the dang hill is this traffic?"
"OMG.. IT's.. ENCRYPTED."
maybe they should've backed up their cloud in another cloud. Cloud.

Did they see their enemies driven before them? Did they hear the lamentations of their women?
That's why I only play Pathfinder.
I'd love to have that on a sticker on my laptop or a patch on my punk rock hoodie.
