As others have mentioned your tax rate is way too low. And do not forget Social Security.

Secondly you have to consider that most peoples spending rises to the level of their income. It takes a lot of will power to cook dinner verses ordering out ... EVERY DAY.

Third are you planning to get married? Have kids? They will ensure your take home pay is about 5% less than what they can spend. Relatives in need? If you got money they have needs.

If you are making $250K a year (20K a month) before taxes, after taxes you are probably pulling in 12K a month. Do you want health insurance? Dental insurance .... If you are pulling in that kind of cash you probably live somewhere expensive - they do not pay that much in Mississippi or Mexico. Rent / mortgage 3K maybe even 4K.

So after rent / mortgage and insurance you are down to at most 7K. Cable? Power? Water? Internet? Game subscriptions? Are you going to drive that old car? Vacation anyone? Oh right you are saving for when you are 55, so you will stay at home for vacation. Add in a gym membership. If you are going to save your money for when you are older, then you will want to keep fit.

So what do you think about those old clothes you wear?

Finally as your investment egg grows, what about the taxes? Yes they charge you income tax on a lot of it. If not now then when you pull it out.

All of that said, you could make a great startup, or join a great start up. Which could make you rich, but that is like the lottery. But that is hope, and hope is not a plan.

To keep from overspending, which would put you in the minority, try to squirel your money away in a retirement fund. You will have to wait to 59.5 to start pulling it, but it has a better chance of being available.
I had similar circumstances, I started using computers at a fairly young age and basically developed what I call an "advanced hunt and peck" style. I knew where everything was, but for the life of me I found it incredibly difficult to learn to relearn how to type "properly".

This is actually why I use DVORAK now, the only way I could force myself to learn was to completely disconnect the letters on the keycaps from what they actually represented. It was the most grueling two weeks of my computing life, but it was worth it in the end. Actually, I've since lost my previous typing skills entirely - whenever I'm forced to use QWERTY for some reason I end up typing at a glacial pace, so there's the one downside (thankfully this isn't often, mostly when I pull up the console of some server through iLO/iDRAC to get networking back up so I can just SSH in instead...)
evolution (and evolution-ews, which is open source) work very well for office365. I personally only use the calendaring as read-only, but I assume it can create events. Email works fine.
mousing over things with the way you setup your flashcard site seems inefficient

Is the reporting feature just an airtable form?
Definitely good feedback, thanks.

A major restructuring of the main pages is necessary, I agree.

I definitely need to re-word most part of the website, because selling support should just be a small part of the closed source version that adds the replication feature.

I would re-think again about selling it in a different platform, but setting up a shop is not as easy as it is to just use plasso, maybe I can work better on the platform to make the two more similar.

I am definitely more than keen to provide email support, but also skype or any other meaning of support, I should definitely make it more apparent.

The idea to require a signup is to start building some sort of mail list, as I said I didn't focus on the marketing side so much...

Thank you a lot!

Your feedback was really really helpful!
I'd argue what's the point of submitting to 99% of these? Drive by visits rarely net anything, and I'd be willing to bet most of these won't even generate drive bys.
The social licence for research: why care.data ran into trouble
It amazes me how rare window/door screens are across latin/south america, and I’m sure other parts of the world that need them the most.

I live in Mexico where people will have a mosquito racket in every room, holding one in their hand while they watch TV, yet keep their windows and doors open for air (and mosquito) circulation.

Even in Guadalajara. The first thing I do when I move somewhere is buy some cheap screen-window kits.
Depends. If independence was declared by less than 20% of the population (that's the number who voted SNP in 2017 UK election, and in 2016 Scottish), then I would expect the UK government to stand up for the 4.5 million others.

However if say 4 million of the 5.5 million that live in Scotland were in favour, I'd expect an amicable separation

Catalonia has a population of 7.5 million. If say 5 million wanted independence, then morally why can't they have it?

In their referendum, only 2 million that wanted it, that's not enough to force the other 5.5 million to leave Spain, but surely it's enough to talk about it seriously though.
And evil-smile is an exception to that exception.

The opportunity to contribute to computer history is hindsight here. Many other amazing opportunities the same way also had the same footing. Some probably looked more well positioned, all told.

Same for the other points, honestly.

In engineering, we typically have (mostly) logical discussions on the merits of designs. There are sometimes strong opinions, but they are typically backed by non-subjective data. Subjectivity is frowned upon.

When I started getting into the arts, I was introduced to the culture of "workshopping" pieces, i.e. have my work criticized. It was disorienting at first, but the honest feedback was very useful plus it helped me develop a thick skin. It helped me get better fast.

> But having a large number of function parameters is not rare or exceptional: you have that for legitimate reasons all the time.

That doesn't match my experience. IME, virtually most cases where I've run into asignaturas with more than about 3 parameters, there have been one or more groups that should have been passed to another function whose result should have been passed to the present function.

But that may be context dependent.

How do you know you're unable to be a programmer? Are you just basing that on having issues with leetcode or CTCI?

I spent 2 years in college studying CS before I couldn't continue. I had just started getting into harder courses using primarily assembly and my interest faded quick. I had this incorrect assumption that developers lived in terribly small cubicles and it didn't interest me much. I had also quickly burnt out, having a job at 40+ hours a week for an ISP and going to school full time in addition was unattainable. Networking and systems seemed to be more interesting at the time and I took a 10 year detour in IT.

In my IT tenure I slowly developed programs to solve business needs, starting with batch scripts and working my way up to very simple automation tools. Somewhere along the way I no longer cared about the work conditions a developer, doing the work was just too fun and I gained an immense sense of accomplishment when my creations were being utilized. Fast forward to getting my first full time developer-only position as a C#/.NET developer doing primarily Windows apps 8 years ago to now being a full stack web developer. It took being paid solely as a developer before I really felt like one and it took until probably 2-3 years ago before the imposter syndrome started to completely wear off. Where I may lack in algorithm knowledge I make up for it in understanding devops topics to have a more complete understanding of the full technology stack running the web apps I have a hand in. I believe every developer could benefit from a little operational knowledge as it usually makes debugging esoteric issues with a technology platform easier.

I'd describe my capabilities as more of an integrator. I used to write every library I used but I find other developers often have more complete solutions I could bastardize into something to fit a specific use case. While the puzzles I work with primarily involve fitting packages together into solutions, the end result still involves all of the same developer workflow of debugging and automated testing. I'm not incapable of algorithm knowledge, it just bores the ever living fuck out of me. I'm extremely fulfilled in spite of having some less than enjoyable positions, so hopefully you don't let this period try to define your future. There's an amazing breadth to this field to the point of easily having analysis paralysis.

Other comments give good alternatives but there are companies all over the planet paying great money for CRUD/LoB apps solving all sorts of interesting problems. There's also an amazing breadth of jobs for people with the knowledge of computing that comes from a CS degree if being a developer really isn't for you. You don't have to be in a wildly different industry but something else may involve solving interesting problems that keep you more engaged.
> If you somehow managed to clone the security key, services would notice that your nonces are no longer monotonically increasing and you could at least detect that it's been cloned.

At least a year ago or so (last time when I checked) most services didn't appear to check the nonce and worked fine when the nonce was reset.

I would be interested to see if they could ditch the awkward rear cassette and replace it with a bottom bracket gearbox. That merged with the shaft drive would be really interesting. Although they are probably more worried about ounces than reliability since it's a time trial bike.

Stock price appreciation. Say that your pay is $150K base and a further $150K in RSUs, vesting over 4 years and with periodic refresh grants. Google stock has tripled over the last 5 years, so by the time 5 years has rolled around, assuming you keep your stock, your effective compensation was $600K/year ($150K/year salary and stock grants currently worth $450K/year) for that first year and slightly less for subsequent years (because the refresh grants are offered at a higher price). After taxes & living expenses you've got maybe $1.5-2M in the bank.

No, this is not guaranteed going forwards, and yes, an outsider could achieve the same effect just putting their paycheck into Google stock. Someone who works at the company has inside information about whether that's a good idea, though; if you're an outsider, it really is a crapshoot whether the stock goes up or down, while if you're an insider, you have knowledge of what upcoming projects are happening, how much key metrics are growing, what morale is like, etc.

This is also why I say it could turn around very fast - if your employer is Google and much of your net worth is Google stock, then if Google falls on hard times you could be wiped out just as easily as your nest egg grew.

John C. Dvorak has been complaining for years about how Google handles press requests. I don't have a good link to point to that captures what he's stated- but i'd summarize his position as this:

Google is completely shut down to journalists. They ignore press requests with legitimate information requests and if they don't like the tone, you'll get no official response. Dvorak observes that Google is starting to get worse and worse coverage in mainstream tech media as a result.

When articles like this do come out, they're usually privileged access and tightly controlled. Lots of beautiful photos of young, attractive google employees "changing the world."

In this case, we have yet another article published talking about how google is doing everything right.

Krebs is typically a reliable journalist, but this article stinks of privileged access to me. The key point is right at the beginning of the article:

Google has not had any of its 85,000+ employees successfully phished on their work-related accounts since early 2017 [...] the company told KrebsOnSecurity.

I think some labs keep the same virus for ethical and unethical reasons.
I worked at TMobile and had a similar story: I worked insane hours on projects, found myself sleeping at my desk way too much.

The thing that was important in my situation was that my working hours were becoming increasingly erratic, and a lot of my coworkers had no idea what I was working on. For instance, there were days when I'd come in at noon, put in four hours at my desk, then drive to the data center and work until three in the morning.

So I was working about fourteen hours but it looked like I was working four.

If you're working for a small company, people will probably be aware that you're burning the midnight oil. But if you're working for a large company, there's a lot of good reasons to be present at your desk from nine to five.

So you ban them and they get back up to the same, if not worse behavior. Maybe they behave a little better or try to avoid getting caught.

I think you're really underestimating how tenuously the UK's claim on Scotland really is.

A Scottish king took over the English throne in 1603. Blame him.

I see no reason that should a sustained majority (so 3 million plus Scots or 4 million plus Catalonians) be in favour of independence, that independence shouldn't happen (In an orderly structured fashion ensuring the rights of citizens on both sides are kept)
Memorization, deduplication and good data structures should help IDDFS and similar algorithms too.

Is our transformation to 100% clean energy ASAP a certain eventuality? On a long enough timescale, it would be irrational for utilities to not choose both lower cost and more sustainable environmental impact ('price-rational', 'environment-rational').

Evaporative cooler owner here. Thought I would add a few data points in case people were curious. We live in Denver, CO (arid climate, typically mid 90Fs in the summer but can reach over 100F. We tied the all time record of 105 in June FYI).

We inherited a MasterCool evaporative cooler (think big metal box where the evaporative pads are made of aspen fibers) when we bought our house. It wasn't very well sealed so we were only able to drive the temperature down ~10-15 degrees F so it would get pretty uncomfortable once it got above 90.

Replaced recently with a Breezair unit and it's been way better. The air it draws in seems to all be going through the evaporation media so we've been able to maintain 72-75 degrees in our old drafty house throughout the summer so far. I mostly don't mind the added humidity as I get fairly dry skin but we have a few doors which swell and stick due to absorbing the additional moisture.

I really wanted to get a Coolerado unit but they only seem to be readily available for commercial applications. The difference with this unit is that it is an indirect evaporative cooler so the air it blows into the cooled space has no added humidity (and it claims to be able to achieve > 100% wet bulb temperature due to its design [1]).

the reality is that medium-sized web applications do not need full-fledged databases like Postgres or MySQL and could get along for basically all their needs with something as lightweight as like RediSQL itself without the need of being able to manage a real database.

What is really difficult is to let people know about this opportunity and let them see the advantages.

The article only correlates the end of phishing with introduction of the physical keys. I'm wondering if it's really necessary - if typical 2FA via one-time pw to SMS is easily sufficient.
I can think of a few ways to reduce that tracking risk. The token could use a per-site offset (securely derived from the per-site key) added to the global counter, and/or could have a set of global counters (using a secure hash of the per-site key to select one). I don't know how much that would increase the cost, or if there's something on the standard mandating a single global counter.

In principle devices could be designed with the ability to generate a new key. But if you don't trust the hardware how does that help?

You may be able to make more of the hardware yourself, depending on how capable you are with electronics.

(Much) more expensive devices can implement FIDO while actually using arbitrary new keys for each registration and you could arrange to hand-pick the keys and then verify it behaves as intended and uses your chosen keys.
Apple wasn't levered though. To this day, many people will tell you they were on the brink of bankruptcy. The "beleaguered" stuff was self-reinforcing judgement of their product line and its prospects.

My last house had a hot attic with a window at each end - I always intended to set up four fans on relays, two in each window, so it could blow cool air in from either end, to take into account which side was cool and shady (and night they could just switch off to to reduce wear).
