Welp. Seeing how someone with similar stats makes 6 times as much as you do feels a bit weird.
Chicago is so incredibly cheap compared to NYC or SF. You can actually afford to own something in the most desirable parts of Chicago and can still have the benefit of not having to own a car in many cases. I thought about relocating to Chicago (it's a great, underrated city) and was shocked how cheap the rent was in places like Lincoln Park. I could just buy a place. I can't say that about NYC or SF where rents are more than double. What you pay $3,300.00/month for in NYC or SF you can get for $1,500.00/month in Chicago.

Places I looked at also included parking. In a place like NYC or SF a parking spot can cost over $800.00/month. There's just so many wealthy people in NYC and SF and so much more demand for limited living space.

Cost of living will influence salaries a lot.
That sounds high to me in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I still don't make nearly that much. But, it's cheap to live here.
As others have said, the boom is continuous. However, what you could (and presumably would) do is gain altitude at sub-sonic speed, then go supersonic only once cruising altitude is reached. That should help with volume. Also presumably they would avoid flying over major population centers.
It's not fragmentation. Pencil and 3D Touch were designed as optional features from the get-go. It makes perfect sense to reserve them for their premium devices.

Fragmentation is more like when apps run poorly on less popular Android phones because of all the differences (screen sizes, performance characteristics, etc.). But optional features like 3D Touch peek/pop aren't really essential to make apps run well. They're bonuses. And there's literally tens millions of people who can use 3D Touch already, so it's an optional feature probably worth implementing. And if you're building a design app it makes complete sense to support the Pencil, which is specifically targeted at that niche.

Also you're mistaken about Touch ID and adaptive layout. Touch ID is standard across all current devices, and adaptive layout helps you support them all with minimal work.
Ah, the problem is that Rocket.Chat's client apps actually don't work with the Sandstorm app right now; it's only accessible in the browser. That's definitely something we're trying to get the Rocket.Chat team to fix, as you can see in that bug thread.
Good points. I feel that we are discussing the same issue from two different sides. You are OK with an iPhone device that does not have expandable physical storage and I am not. I do want an iPhone (even though I develop for Android) but that keeps me away. :)
Lots of hotels that cater to business customers already to this - go to the local Hilton and pay $XYZ to use their telepresence room for an hour.
Documents.app lets you download to their own app sandbox and move files between iCloud Drive and other cloud services.
I had to log in with my other account ( as I have the 'get back to work blocker' appearing on my other one).

I just want to say, this happened a year ago, and things may have changed.

I just had to make the statement as it hit close to home and Ive never mentioned it previously.

Hopefully there is a system/warning in place so apps arent taken down, without warning like this, when transitioning from a free to a paid account ( I think it was to do with the quotas like you said).

All the best and thanks for the reply.
Did Vyke get hacked?

Anyone think Vyke got hacked? I have a Vyke account.
Automatic extraction of scales and coordinate systems is a much harder problem (http://xkcd.com/1425/).
Because I do a better job than the accountant.

They usually bill a fixed rate, and even if they do an hourly rate, they try to do them quickly to get through more of them. They don't spend the hours I do playing "what if". Sometimes certain deductions can apply in different places for very different outcomes.

An example: You manage a property for a friend. You collect the rent and then send it over to them minus a small fee for yourself. You can claim this one of two ways: You can file a schedule C or a schedule E. Each has a very different effect on your final total depending on the rest of your tax situation and the other forms you have filed.

For example, the schedule E increases your AGI, even though you can deduct all the rent you paid back to your friend. The schedule C does not, because only the total counts against your AGI, not all revenue.

So now when you go to deduct your medical expenses, the 7.5% minimum is quite different.

That's just one example of how the what-if plays into it, but only a very expensive accountant will spend the time doing those things and/or have enough experience to know how to do it right the first time.

That being said, I'll probably do a bake off this year again to see if the accountant can do better than I with TurboTax.

Most people have more ethical qualms about profiting off of incarceration than about possibly paying too much money to people who educate our children. This is not surprising.
Now you can be an attack helicopter.
Individual sites/sub-sites should definitely have the option of locking down or at least specifying the engine that they depend on. (In the case of the latter, in theory GitHub could collect the “in use” specifications of all projects and get some idea who needs what before making a change.)

Ultimately though, if you need control then you have to take control.

I have been using "textile" for the help documentation in my project for years. I simply copied the entire Python rendering code into my project. Nothing can break until I am ready to change (and I rarely find new versions of the rendering engine anyway).
And yet Musk claims transcontinental range (NY-LA) would be possible with 400 Wh/kg batteries and mid-70% battery mass fraction.

Sample size of one (and incredibly oversimplified for such complex topics) but...

- I don't think ingesting chemicals or compounds should be illegal but there's probably a benefit to some level of restriction on their sale and use

- I don't think guns should be made illegal but there's probably a benefit to some level of restriction on their sale and use

- I think there should be certain guarantees in terms of privacy but there's probably an argument to be made that these rights can be restricted in some cases for some individuals (ie: in the course of prosecuting a crime)

Either way, it's hard to make blanket statements about complex issues so you get appropriately wishy-washy responses.
There are a lot of down to Earth devs, but there's also some... how do I say this delicately? ... Assholes. These people grew up knowing they were smarter than average, but didn't learn to talk to an average. They always have to be the smartest person in the room. This person's sentences start with "Well, technically..." more often than not because you're dumber than they are.

A lot of us go through a period, when we're young, where we start correcting people because, well, we're smart and they're wrong. Most of us get over it and actually learn how to talk to an average (being able to accept when they are right and being able to STFU when they are wrong or explaining it delicately if it's actually something important). Mostly because we learn that an average hates to be corrected all the time. But also because conversations can be fun if you just don't worry about whether what people are saying is "technically" correct or not.
> To me, what's evil is the desire to make everyone the same for the sake of being the same.

No such desire here. In fact, I'd not be opposed to a treatment that made people autistic, or, for a (perhaps) more attractive proposition, synesthetic.

As long as there is informed choice by an adult.

You can want neurodiversity, and think it is a good thing. Maybe it is. But imposing it on others, for me, is not defensible.

Now, setting diversity aside for a moment...

> Medicine is not the Wild West...

No. In general, we only allow people treatment when we think they have a disease(1).

This idea has merits: for example, it seems "obviously better" to treat the hypocondriacs hypocondria than to allow them to take unnecessary surgery.

But it also has problems: the definition of disease becomes a matter of consensus (i.e.: a political matter, even if the politics just happens amongst doctors - or worse, philosophers or politicians) and individuals are disallowed choosing what and who they want to be, by themselves.

Perhaps the best way to go is to have a "waiting period", to force you to consider and seek alternative treatment before undergoing procedures that are dangerous. I dont know, and I fear this is one of those "really no good answer" questions.

(1) This might be a circular definition, "disease" being a thing we can treat for
I tend to agree. I mostly use it to Peek at an object then swipe it up to reveal a menu of operations that can be performed on that object. That can be kind of handy.
We've used Postmark for a while, it's worked great.

Considered moving to Mandrill for a while, to reduce the cost (they had a free tier) but never ended up doing it. Now I'm happy we never did, since they just axed/reshaped their service :)

(on dedicated IPs, it's worth mentioning that reputation is moving from IP to domain, with DKIM et. al., so it's not as important as it used to be)
I don't really follow ICANN news. I have some vague idea that they've made some questionable moves over the past several years.

I know nothing of the Obama administration's involvement.

Could somebody translate the article into a form I understand? ICANN manages the sale/assignment of IP addresses and manages the Root DNS Servers, right?

How does USA currently control them and what does the proposed change mean?
Yes. That's called infrastructure. Whenever America has 'subsidized' infrastructure, the nation has seen many fold return. Whether it was rural electrification, or secondary roads, or rural mail delivery, having it a given for everybody means anybody can assume a certain level of service. Commerce thrives on that.
I'm in San Antonio, TX. The 7th largest city in the US, but it has one of the lowest costs of living of any major metro area. It's also home to several tech companies, including Rackspace, one of Amazon's primary competitors in the Cloud space.
Are you sure that's still the case? I recently switched one of my site's transactional mail from a free Mandrill account to a free SendGrid account, and have not seen this issue.

I'm assuming that the issue you're referring to is triggered by the presence of a Sender header. The Sender header is present in the emails that SendGrid sends for the site in question.

The Return-Path and From address are at the domains that I specified (e.dnscheck.co and dnscheck.co).

Perhaps this is something that has recently changed, or is only an issue with certain configurations.

Developing an airplane, I would guess.
You could use the same logic to say virtualization isn't safe, but it doesn't stop cloud providers from putting multiple people's VMs on the same instance. Regardless of the technologies you use in your datacenter, there will be vulnerabilities that will need to be found, patched, and fixed.
Then get an Android smartphone that supports 128 or 256GB SDCard, problem solved.

Sonic boom physics are subtle and counter-intuitive. High level, you:
(1) keep the airplane as small and light as possible (reduces total shock energy)

I work for a hosting provider that acts as a reseller of certs and we use the DV file option the author speaks of. It's easy for us because we can automate the entire process for the customer.

Whenever I've bought a cert for myself I've used the same process. I never thought email verification seemed like a great idea.
I omitted the employer name because I don't live in SF and would be easily identifiable if I didn't.

What does "taken advantage of" mean in this context? No one is forcing them to buy anything. If someone doesn't feel the price is justified, for anything, they shouldn't buy it.
Farewell Node.js
Well, I forget to use it on the keyboard too. :)

And the keyboard has exactly the same problem; force-touch uses space that already has a purpose and a gesture that is somewhat similar to that of the normal keyboard function. I tried it just now and there is a decent chance I will start typing random characters instead of activating it. That, to me, is a failure of an interface. I will admit that once activated correctly, the mini-trackpad is a better method for moving the cursor (although, almost anything could improve over the default text editing on iOS).
Would be nice the add citizenship as well so we could see if foreigners are being paid less than locals.

I was saying that sometimes you can't update any of that quickly, but you can - via amazon ses, for example - validate a single address. Doing that will allow you to get past at least part of a project's set up and keep moving until you can get dns issues updated. it's not a 'never do it', but 'that can come a bit later without being a roadblock' issue, imo.
There's plenty of them on the market.

Glad you're happy, but $46k is too low. If you've been at this for 2-3+ years look for a remote position! Even something like $60-70k will be a lot better.
I'm completely against the war on drugs for most of the reasons stated in this article, but I find it's blaming of Nixon and racial/ideological politics as the worst most unproductive form of cynicism. As if there are no well meaning, well founded reasons to outlaw drugs. People often forget that poor, minority neighborhoods were often instrumental in getting tough drug laws passed. Because they often faced the brunt of the criminal effect of large numbers of drug users. When a working class mom gets her kid's bike stolen by a junkie, she's not too interested in contemplating rehabilitation, she's just mad and wants her bike back and the asshole punished.
This conforms to a somewhat surreal experience I had talking to an internal recruiter in Chicago a few months ago.

"Oh, you already have offers on the table in NYC and Boston, with no family here? Yeah, I understand why you wouldn't be interested in Chicago"
Sure, but 1. even a small amount of friction will cut off the vast majority from doing it, especially when 2. there's no payoff to lying about your location in a salary transparency app
In a number of ways, modern upper class air travel is significantly more comfortable than it was throughout most of the Concorde era. First class and then business class were a lot more like today's domestic first/business class even for long haul international flights. Of course, things like entertainment options are a lot better today as well. (Though there's no 747 upstairs first class lounge :-))

Security, etc. is worse of course--though that's largely outside of the airline's control.
Re: a lack of indication where it will work, maybe it will be address in a future device that has an actual 3D display, where some UI elements hover over the "surface" closer to the user, apparent that they can be pushed in deeper. I wonder if Nintendo will implement that in their next handheld. :)
With all due respect, I'm sure, "things are getting so divisive" because millions of people have had their lives destroyed, for decades, in USA and further south, for the enrichment of lobbyists and for the short-term political advantage of a worthless SOB who is now roasting deservedly in hell. Sure, lots of people haven't "noticed", because the whole farce was calculated to feed and placate their prejudice. Those who know anything about the Drug War, e.g. the dozens of big-city police commissioners who join LEAP the day after they retire, know how awful it is. Those who don't know anything can't be expected to learn overnight.

If that doesn't raise one's blood pressure, nothing on this Earth will.

Let the tone policing commence!

[EDIT/PS:] I never said "morons". I used a literally descriptive term. Those wilting violets (uh-oh, more characterization!) who are upset by such a bland description should just try thinking a bit deeper.
Where/how does one find such positions?
Glad you love it. I work from home and commute sometimes to downtown DC (about 25 mi each way). So I am thinking the 107 mi would be more than enough even being conservative and expecting a 60mi range.

But from what you're saying, it sounds even worse!

We really aren't expecting to do any road trips with the car, instead opting to rent a car for that occasional weekend trip. Seems like a good balance. Why choose a car for the 3 road trips you take every year?
Do you foresee any special challenges in keeping nitrous oxides emissions down?
for sure! It's not like if our example gets an email saying someone would like to hire them for $180K, then they'll drive over for an interview and hand in their notice the same day.

But do you think this is information that (as I think) should be asked here? I'm thinking it can only help workers.
We're baselining an experience better than domestic first class. One seat on each side of aisle, so everyone gets a window and aisle. There's more footroom and more headroom than the typical first class on a 737 or A320.

But this is something airlines can customize.

Lockheed Skunkworks have actually built prototype jets in under 2 years from go ahead to first flight. The A-12 (predecessor to the SR-71) went from contract to first flight in just over 2 years.

Getting the aircraft certified and into production is where most of the actual expense is.

I wouldn't say that I am okay with being underpaid, exactly, but I have come to semi-grudgingly accept that I simply don't find money motivating enough for its own sake to put up with the drudgery and boredom that always seem to come along with the jobs offering more of it. Good jobs don't pay and paying jobs aren't good, as a first approximation.
Validation (based on reputation etc) would make wonders, like (ex-)employees of a company could flag or vote up/down if a salary in that company seem legit or not.
I don't know if "shallow thinkers" or "morons" are appropriate terms to define the people that jessaustin is referring to. But I think it is entirely possible that many people simply think differently than we do, and you need to communicate with them differently as well.

Basically, the audience you and I usually interact with, e.g. here on HN, and probably at work, assuming you're in tech also, is comprised largely of logical thinkers. We don't have a lot of experience dealing with people who have more emotional thinking characteristics, so we assume that using an entirely logical argument is the only correct way to change people's minds.

I can't find numbers, and I don't know how much, or if, this has been studied, but I think a large portion of the population thinks more emotionally than we would expect them to. I don't necessarily think that's a negative thing, as emotional thinking helps, e.g. bind us together in cohesive communities even though the individuals in that community might be very different from each other on a personal level, because even though they're different people, they feel an emotional attachment to the same community.
I had a hard time getting recruiters to submit me for contracting gigs.
