The usual generic financial advice I give is:

- Maximize every retirement vehicle offered to you (max 401k, HSA, etc).

- Pretend that any money you sock away for retirement doesn't exist. This is best done with automated withdrawals so you never even consider it money in your checking account.

- Learn to cook. This doesn't actually save much money at the individual level but is huge for families.

- Set up separate accounts for expenses and savings. Most payroll setups allow you to automatically divert funds to multiple accounts. This lets you automatically put $X in your expense account and $TOTAL - $X in the savings account. Again, the idea is to never consider that money spendable. It goes into a lock box.

- Shoot for a 50+% after tax savings rate. It sounds nuts but it's actually easier than you think. The key is to not bump up your expenses as your income increases. You might not be there when you first start out but if you're increasing earnings 5-10% per year you'll get there quite quickly (particularly in tech).

- Never buy a new car. They're for chumps.

- Never lease a new car. That's for the biggest chumps.

- Once you've built up an 8 to 12 month nest egg of reserve cash, start allocating the rest in a diversified portfolio. Pick securities from the trading company that don't have transaction costs (large discount brokers usually have in house mirrors of popular ETFs for this).

Stick on this path and you'll eventually be sitting on a decent nest egg. Plus if you've reined in your expenses, if you decide to go the founder route you'll have plenty of runway to pursue your ideas.
You edited your post, so I edited mine.

But nice try.

In any case, if you're talking about this ill-defined and frequently unverified concept of "sex" then I'm uninterested in talking with you further. You're don't have any interesting insight into the subject. You can barely keep it together explaining logical implication.

Please find someone more interested in this level of discourse. I'm bored with it.
What's adorable is that you think it has anything to do with left/right politics, especially given that it was pointed out that it was down to Western movies, not about present day Texas, and that it's use implies an insult.
I really hope the Librem 5 meets its target (I'm a backer). I'd also hope that the fundraising deadline could be extended if it only needs a few more days to complete. Having a FLOSS phone platform, especially with a strong communication platform like Matrix at its core, is something that should ultimately do a lot of good for the continued growth of open source/free software.

Not all artifacts are religious in nature, neither are they always assumed to be such. I think no one would assume a bust of Cicero or some random mosaic is a religious artifact.

But I sort of agree with the feeling, because it seems like it is that explanation which people fall back to in the absence of any other clue.

How to Make the Most of a Startup Accelerator
Although maybe I'm wrong - I really question that 250K is "typical" pay even in the bay area. I'd say the truth is that is about 1/2 that (maybe slightly more). If you are the cream of the crop (top 10%ish? in top/senior positions) maybe that is reality - for the majority I don't see it after living here for the last 6 months.
A good read. What about very stable high paying non-tech jobs in very techicnal companies? That is the advice i looked for.

Time-Tracking Software: A Brief Guide
Irrational thinking is never rational. That's something we've both had to consciously realize. We're both irrational about our own things and we've learned to just make it work with each other. Usually the type of things that crop up are never worth getting too upset or worked up over.

I've found that simply being more invested in the decision or issue, it eases some of the tension. That anxiety may have been a result of shouldering all the emotional labor in the first place.

I've seen numbers like that from a company that says their salary range target is "70th percentile of peer companies." Dunno how they defined peer company, but I need to find that one-out-of-three peers that pay even more.

>What else is their development of nuclear arms about?

It dates back quite a long time. Development started as a response to the US putting nuclear artillery on the border with North Korea in 1958 and pointing it directly at Pyongyang.

>What else is their development of nuclear arms about? NK is a signatory of the NPT.

They withdrew from the NPT in the run up to the totally provoked and necessary invasion of Iraq. Around this time Bush famously branded them part of the "axis of evil" and casually threatened nuclear annihilation, among other provocations.

I guess something led them to believe that they needed a nuclear deterrent?

They did at the time make an offer to the US in light of the provocations: sign a non-aggression treaty and let them to continue developing nuclear power. The US didn't, so they withdrew.

>What they actually want is to win

No, they want some kind of military parity before joining the negotiating table because Iraq shows what happens when you don't have parity...
exactly right. It's taking the responsibility for X happening, and dinner is just the icing on the cake as it were :)

Maybe it's taking the responsibility for deciding what to do over the thanksgiving holiday, or christmas.. Do we go to in-laws, travel, do we do it here local, etc. It's not really making the decision, it's the responsibility for making it happen.
In fact, there is an important difference between "container homes" and "container-sized" homes.

I also just don't have that many one-off tasks around home that are

-- Big enough to be worth getting someone to do for me

-- A task that I can have someone do for me with fairly simple instructions

-- Something I'm willing to pay someone else to do for me

I already have a lawn service and an occasional housekeeper and borrow a neighbor's handyman [for brush clearing] from time to time. But most of the "wouldn't it be nice is this were all organized/cleaned" stuff around my house aren't really things I could delegate.

I also just don't seem to live in a critical mass area for TaskRabbit. Just did a search for a handyman and one came up at $90/hr and a 71% positive rating. I think I'll pass.

How's your commute time?
It is merely a single example. There are far more meaningful examples that I won't share simply because they're much more private issues. Nitpick the example, if you like, it doesn't change my point.

Besides, the issue isn't picking what restaurant we go to, it's always being the one who has to decide, to weigh the options. And not just restaurants, but what time should we go? When do we leave? Should we drive? Take the bus? When do we need to get more groceries? What dinners do we have planned for the week? Are we running low on laundry detergent? Was I supposed to call the doctor yesterday? She was handling all that an more, nearly all the time. I wasn't doing as much as I could have been doing. Now I make an effort to do more and our relationship is better for it.
I said what I meant: they're not reliable signals.

You've got a space of time in a person's life between, presumably, graduating high school and sending you a resume. What did they do with that time?

Merely having a degree doesn't say much.

Merely not having a degree doesn't say much.

Having an honors BS in CS from CMU, MIT, Stanford, or a bunch of other schools implies academic competence and exposure to a certain range of ideas. But I don't know that they can be productive outside of that environment.

Having an ordinary BS in a STEM subject from a random college that I've never heard of means even less to me. But is it zero? No.

Holding down a job for those four years is a signal, too, and it needs evaluation. What kind of job? While living at home? Did anything progress during that time? Is it relevant to what we're trying to hire for?
So if like me you want to know how to disable session tickets in Apache httpd, you need to be running at least httpd 2.4.8 with OpenSSL 1.0.2. Then you can set:

SSLOpenSSLConfCmd Options -SessionTicket

Alternatively, if you're running at least httpd 2.4.11 with OpenSSL 0.9.8f, you can set this instead:

>Perhaps China wants to annex NK

If China was considering this type of thing, it would be a split of NK territory between itself and South Korea. China would be holding secret talks with South Korea about militarily assisting them to reunite with the North, in return for China getting some of North Korea's territory. After the initial show of strength, China would offer top NK leaders and military officers lifelong residence in that annexed territory, with immunity from deportation. The U.S. right now is probably trying to stop such secret talks from starting, probably by impressing on the SK govt just how much their standard of living would be impacted by reuniting with the North. Of course, China would be using this as leverage in the secret negotiations to gain as much NK territory as possible.
Recognizing and addressing the real emotions at play in marital situations like this one has been a life-long pursuit for me in my adult life.
It's a good philosophical question: A company creates a great product. What person actually created the value? The product visionary who thought of the idea? The developer who implemented it? The manager who approved the budget allowing the work to happen in the first place?
So .. how do you propose covering stories where nobody will talk on the record?
Not the GP, but...

Obviously cat sharing, but you'll have to find a way to take a margin from what was nominally a goodwill activity.

Maybe you pay cat owners in cathours (pronounced cath-ours), and have a marketplace where people can buy and sell cathours. Even better, make Catcoin (CC), set up an ICO, and get to work.

You're treating a description of the status quo as prescriptive, which is how you're mistakenly viewing the article and the poster to whom you're responding as "outrageously sexist". Women are still, by existing social norms, expected to be relationship caretakers, and this is being identified as a sexist problem to be addressed, not as a goal.
> The store build-out on this model may be done, at least in the US.

It most definitely is NOT. For instance the nearest Ikea to the Raleigh/Triangle area is over 2 hours away.

There are 24 US states without a single Ikea store.
>Bay area in a nutshell. You can have higher savings rates too

Your example is a higher savings amount, not rate.

In your example, I may still prefer the 80K one. Why?

Assume taxes are a third of your salary in both places.

In the 80K job, you save 40K, and your living expenses are 13.3K

In the 160K job, you save 56K and your living expenses are 50.7K

In Nowhereville, you are saving 3 times your annual cost of living. In SV, you are saving just a little more than 1x.

The result? Even though you save more in SV, you will not be able to retire quicker.

(My claim of 1/3 in taxes in both places is likely inaccurate, but the essence of the calculation doesn't change).

A higher saving amount does not mean earlier retirement (unless you move to a cheap city to retire).
There are a lot of insecure managers who don't want to be challenged on the merits of their decisions. There are also lots of individual contributors on teams who are strident in their beliefs even though they might be informed only from a narrow perspective.

If you're a manager, you can address this by inviting thoughtful debate and sharing information. But if you're a non-manager employee, you can't always rely on managers (even when they're good and capable) to have _time_ to deeply consider your ideas and share relevant info. Therefore, sometimes you have to accept that major decisions get made without your input.

Ideally you have managers you trust even when they make decisions you don't understand. In practice, getting that requires a willingness to move and enough social acumen that you're likely moving into management yourself.
The problem is for big crawls( and 500k is not large) you probably don't want to use your desktop for example my home adsl is only 3.5 as we are 6kyards from the exchange.

And I would not want to get my works 100Mb banned by google. This is where services like deep crawl come in to play I can set up my sites to be crawled at night and look at the reports in the morning.

And another problem I found is desktop crawlers are very resource hungry at one small agency we had two striped down dedicated machines just to run crawls as the risk of causing a crash was to high
For AI to Change Business, It Needs to Be Fueled with Quality Data
Glassdoor skews low due to having more historical data. It should be noted that a lot of people also work in the Valley & live in SF since companies there pay more in general (although rent in the Valley has been rising the past few years in general, especially in Palo Alto and Mountain View).

Of course it's a terrible commute, but some people prefer that - it should also be noted that the comment you responded to was talking about the Valley, not SF. Software engineering jobs in SF proper is a raw deal IMO excepting that you get to live in SF & be closer to the offerings of SF (or you can commute into SF, but might as well be commuting to an area with better pay IMO). Engineering quality is probably roughly the same across the Bay Area though.
I feel like I need to say this.

The concept of "saving face" is the western interpretation of the social dynamics going on in certain asian cultures.

I doubt even those asian cultures are properly able to explain what it actually means, but the concept is quite complicated and is more about maintaining a "social balance" than ensuring you are embarrassed yourself.

I have seen too many foreigners in China disturbing the "social balance" by angrily shouting at native people and afterwards proudly proclaim that they made them "lose face". Actually it was themselves that "lost face" by disturbing this "social balance".

I dont know how to explain it because it is quite complicated and as so many interpretations of what "crazy" asian people do, it is just a western interpretation of something that they understand by instinct.

Its a very very different world and culture. Just my few cents from here.
A few year ago when I was doing some historical research about DNS, I came across quite a few interesting papers that all discussed "agents" in a way that seemed based on some shared knowledge/assumptions people had at the time. In particular, these would be agents for locating things in the "future internetwork". There's a paper by Postel and Mockapetris that comes to mind. Is this an example of "ambassadors"?
Doesn't that depend on your definition of creating value? Im biased because I'm a developer perhaps, but I think that these ideas would all be theoretical concepts if these developers weren't actively building them.

Perhaps I have a pessimistic view of the industry, but I've worked at 4-5 startups now (4-5 because one I'm on the fence about calling a startup) and I've come to find that the most value was always "created" when the devs and middle management (product) worked closely together to deliver and hustled/bustled without being blocked by some upper management bullshit. As soon as these companies grew, and these 250k-300k a year "executives" joined, everything slowly went up in flames. This is anecdotal, but it's an issue I've come to notice through personal experience in our industry.
It hasn't been proven that employers put so much value on a degree. Certainly a lot of people think that employers think that, but I've yet to see a real life hiring manager come out and say "I don't care how much experience you have, without a degree I won't consider you."

In that one scenario yes, that communication could save the day. I think the article is more about what happens if you multiply that by 100, and one person is disproportionately making that communication happen.
In the developed world, highly religious groups are the only groups who have been able to sustain fertility rates above, say, 2.5 children per woman. The ones I am aware of are the Amish, Haredi Jews, Mennonites, and the Hutterites. All of those are around 6 children per woman.

The demographics of these groups have real consequences. The Amish have witnessed a 50-fold increase in population in the last 90 years (from 5,000 to 250,000). Haredi comprised only 5% of the Jewish population in Israel as recently as 1990, but they're now at 10% of the total Jewish population and a whopping 29% of the the Jewish population under 20 years of age.

Unless they are tightly locked down by the manufacturers. Perhaps jihadis will not be able to hack them in such a way as to take remote control, and perhaps the manufacturers will eventually make the automatic not-plowing-into-pedestrian system override driver controls.

Yes, no system is perfectly unhackable, but since terrorist cells tend to be small and relatively isolated I could see it being the case that the people who want to use cars as remote weapons would not be people who have the time and talent to make that happen.

State-sponsored groups may be a different story of course.
First off, I think this is a sensationalized article. My friends with liberal arts 'academic' degrees are finding jobs. Not always professor level jobs, some of them are teaching high school, others are adjuncting, one writes contracts for the DoD (her degree was in creative writing).

'College professor' is currently a middle-class job and it has been for a long time (since before I was born at least). What we have in this article are stories from people who are in the middle class and hit a bump in the road, and never recovered economically. This can happen to anyone, including you, the silicon-valley start-up STEM uber-programmer.

It is just bad luck and highlights the lack of a societal safety net. In short, this is a shock piece describing something that is very common in the USA. It is shocking simply because our mental image of a 'College professor,' is a well-to-do clean-cut person in a tweed jacket scribbling on a chalk-board. You don't think to yourself 'homeless prostitute,' (the examples were clearly very specifically picked). The contrast is intentional.

This isn't to detract from these people's plight. It is certainly a real one (maybe an example of one of the most real things that can happen to a person). The majority of us are a couple of unfortunate life events away from making the decisions that these people had to make. Lose your job and have an expensive illness at the same time, you'll pretty much be there. These people started behind because of massive college debt, for the most part, but it doesn't change that we're all close to this.

I'm disheartened that this is being reduced to in economic terms 'a supply-side problem,' under the assumption that the economics of supply and demand actually apply to a person who is (for all purposes) not making a living wage and in debt to their eyeballs. It's bullshit if a person is employed 60+ hours a week and they aren't able to properly feed clothe and house themselves (and their family, for that matter). It doesn't matter what the job is.

Honestly, it's bullshit that we have homelessness and hunger at all. At what point do we have a serious conversation in the west about attempting to become a post-scarcity society? I don't think we even know what is involved to make a society like that tractable.
