"you'll earn/make enough in 9 years to last 30 or 40 years of retirement?"
Yes. Barring the market absolutely tanking or another act-of-god event.
I made good money in tech. But you're missing my point. If you're smart enough to do that, you're smart enough to be be making a lot more money doing something else.
That's because most of the experienced people exited the profession, and now the demand for skilled programmers and engineers is heating back up - automation and AI are hard problems.
I've seen this cycle twice now, next up you'll start seeing articles about CS enrollments increasing.
I'm a EE. I worked in tech for 20 years. I only got a raise when I switched jobs, and worked comically hard for what I was paid.
I switched to finance and I started off making 2.5 times what I did doing engineering work. My next move will double what I make now again, maybe a little more.
If you're smart enough to do tech, you're smart enough to do something else. Do not work in tech as an employee. If you do, work only long enough to do something else or acquire enough capital to set yourself up to engage directly with the market - e.g. own your own company, be it software, consulting, or better yet, something like law or accounting and make use of the tech skills to lower overhead.
Folks have no idea how much money gets made. If they'd did they'd riot. Or at least unionize.
I'll be able to retire at 45. If I worked in tech, I'd still be struggling to have any savings.
YMMV and there are exceptions everywhere. Get a large enough sample pool and the trends are very clear.
I don't see the appeal until the projection scheme is unobtrusive; aside from some specialty applications, nobody is going to want to hold up a phone or ipad either.
No problem pouring one out for the early adopters funding things, but nobody wants to wear stupid shit on their head while they're interacting with the real world. Figure out how to do this with a contact lens? Yeah, now you're talking.
More anxious to see 4K VR, and that doesn't need materials advances to happen.
Based on the exponential rate of technological development, I'm guessing the actual answer to where everyone might be is likely some variant of this hypothesis.
Actually, I was in the room where when he indicated they would demonstrate Mooreâ(TM)s Law - squared - as it applies to GPU capabilities, for the next 5 years.
I wonder if the community could raise enough funds to buy it back. I'd chip in to an effort.. and I know some of us lower UID people must have some resources available by now.
This theory has done a very good job of explaining several physics anomalies, and in particular, makes some interesting predictions for anomalous thrusters.
Something to watch, a good read, and he's a pretty accessible and nice guy too.
There are some studies that also indicate boosts to short term memory and test performance.
As a postgraduate student, I'd think you at least know how to use Google before resulting to ad hominem. It's difficult to get good data as all of the data is horribly biased by funding sources - tobacco industry or health lobby.
Nicotine is an interesting drug with a lot of psychoactive properties. There's a reason it's popular.
However, try to find data on health impacts from infrequent use, or infrequent smoking, or even to suggest such a thing is possible, is not very easy to do.
Likewise, quantitative data on the beneficial effects of smoking is very difficult to find. There is evidence for increased memory performance, mood stabilizing, and possible anti-psychotic effects.
There's no question smoking is bad for you.. but drugs have benefits and side effects, and personally, I'd like to know both.
Slashdot Mirror
Python rocks.
It has allowed me to forget about the abomination that is C++.
C for everything else.
Serious question: Do you know why the Lightning Network was developed and how it works?
If they're going to use LN, this is a perfect application to demonstrate mass scaling.
You make the money when you sell the business, or it's assets (e.g. software, customers). Not from the operations, or at least, rarely.
People would riot.
$100k isn't a lot of money. The fact people still think this is hilarious. It hasn't been a lot of money for 30 years.

It's not the bandwidth.. it's the low latency.
Communities without fiber connectivity are not long-term viable. Slowly people are realizing this.
Exchanges are evil.
Interesting no actual coin with hard privacy (e.g. XMR) is listed. Zcash is tainted by Ver's exposure IMO.

It is trivial to deflect an asteroid (and maybe even a comet) now, with todayâ(TM)s tech, provided we are looking.
We arenâ(TM)t looking.

Regardless, Elon is right.. Mars. Stat.

Sit back and watch fiction become reality.
Looking at their revenues, I don't think Apple is in any danger.
Macs don't have modern 3D capabilities at the moment. It's not a major driver.
Open standards are a good thing.. we've seen this script before, because it works.
I like OpenGL.. but money talks.

RIP Roblimo.. and thanks for all the /.

A GoFundMe has been set up to pay for the legal defense, and a expert lawyer has been retained.
Please consider donating. The kid isn't without fault, but he's being railroaded by the local government.

Plastic is basically refined solid oil.
There is an easy solution. Burn it and make electricity. Or heat. Or hell, just burn it.
Problem solved. ..surely you don't think there's no burning of oil going on anyway?
Brand recognition is everything in fiat money.
Why is the USD the world reserve currency? Stellar leadership?
