True but my way works for craigslist sales and my gigolo side business, so I've got that going for me..

It might be easier to state that you are selling your time and not the item, the item is a free gift you are giving to the person that you agree to meet with for your time.

"Oh you like this printer? Well the printer is free, but if you want it, you have to pay me $40 for 1 second of my time."

You meet, say hello. Collect $40. Give the free printer.

sah2ed, you are the real MVP!

Until a security incident occurs, the vast majority of people, be they developers, admins, management, senior management, etc. view security threats as something that only happens to other people. Why do we have to patch this, we are behind firewall x and y, we could NEVER be compromised.. yeah.

I think it would depend in large part with how active you keep your programming skills and how up to date you stay on industry changes. Sure, your initial reaction to reading this is that you would stay sharp as ever, but management is a different kind of grind, and it tends to wear on your soul. Perks are good, trade offs not so good.

Personally, I'm glad I got our of management and back into the nuts and bolts side of the house.

The arguement I have read is that the device the president had was only possible because he has a full security detail 24x7 that can keep track of the phone. Doesn't the secretary of state have that as well?

Great write up!

>and the reduced stress that I experience knowing that our home life is taken care of while I'm working is worth the loss of income, especially since we live in a place where we can comfortably get by on my salary.

Until you unexpectedly lose your job and then have no income. Hopefully you have savings to fall back on, if not you find yourself facing questions like: How can I feed my children? Or pay for medicine.

Don't get me wrong, I hear you brother. I had a stay at home mom and loved it, my wife came from a divorced family and didn't like being a latch-key kid.

So our decision for her to be a stay at home mom, to give up her career wasn't terribly difficult.

But I would be lying if I said I didn't worry about only having one income. I'd swallow my pride in an instant and go shovel shit all day if it meant that the family would have food, but it's a little stressful none the less.

The problem with dual income is that paying for childcare often doesn't scale well as the number of children go up. That cost quickly eats more and more of the second income.

How about from a hot air baloon? I'd like to visually inspect the Playboy Mansion pool.

ELI5: Presumably this was a result of the LHC's power upgrade to 13 TeV. If so, should they now be able to repeatedly get these results again and again?

Maybe it was a type and he meant to say: >You see, a six digit passcode has one million possible combinations instead of 10,000.

I was thinking the same thing.

Seems like an example of a CEO with an over abundance of hubris.

Awesome, just wish the viewer was better. Like being able to click on the right or left hand side of the photo you are viewing to go to the next one would be a real treat. #Lazy

Someone should product design that blog, or my browser if that was the reason it looked so horrible...

Your comment really speaks to a larger problem that social media would appear to have created, that being a "need" for as you put it social validation. You hear stories about people becoming severely emotionally distressed because they only get a low number of "likes" an confront friends for not "liking" or commenting.

It just feels (to me at least), that this is a problem. Granted before what we consider to be the electronic age of social media, this kind of validation existed -- for example, getting a phone call from a friend would give one a similar level of validation - I have a friend! He/She likes me enough to call me!" - it wasn't something someone expected to happen every ten minutes and it wasn't something that required you to do anything.t

Now that we are all connected, we post, we expect validation that someone has read the nugget we posted. Yay! Friends!

I dunno, just strikes me as something to be leery of..

What advantage does this have over say Jekyll?

Having read recently about "Good welling to blackberry for a fraction of what it was valued at and how screwed the employees were that had common stock, I'd be leery of any kind of common stock. But that's just me.

>If money wasn't a key factor in going legit, then why do it?

Desire to see ISIS and its kind eliminated. Frustration with formal government impotence. That would be my guess.

This made me laugh. Well played.

Awesome!

This is what I don't understand, can someone ELI5 it for me:

"Even nutrition, the report said, could be problematic, because any Mars vehicle will likely be significantly smaller than the International Space Station, and astronauts will be too far away to receive the regular resupply missions they now get on the station."

Why does that have to be the case? Why are we limiting the size of the spaceship to what can be launched from Earth? Wouldn't it be better to construct teh ship in space so it could be a behemoth that had ample supplies, etc. and in effect could be a semi-permanent space station in Mars orbit that could be launched from to the surface with smaller ships?

But that's not addressing the statement that the attacks themselves were masterminded. It just seems to sensationalize it.

Everyone talks about how this was orchestrated by some masterminds. What am I missing?

Nine assholes get together in a room and decided to hit nine different places at X time. How hard is it to synchronize watch times?

Could cyber warfare actions against a terrorist organization be considered illegal when we are actively trying to bomb/kill them? Honestly curious.

We started our son when he was 6 as opposed to 5 and we have zero regrets. It seems like the emotional development between 5 and 6 year old boy is generally pretty huge.

Grade-wise he mainly gets A's and a B here and there. Honors classes, etc.

While I don't attribute the age he started completely to this, I do think it had a rather positive impact (currently in 8th).

Conversely, I think I started kindergarten at either 4 or 5 and struggled/hated school my entire life. Even had to put up with Evil Nuns. #jake #elwood Food for thought.

The only question I have is this: Why do we have to rely on Anonymous to do this? Don't get me wrong, kudos to them for having had enough and taking a stand.

But my question is this: Why aren't all of the countries in the G20 actively doing this ALL the time already?

I believe it (not having read the article). I went Paleo when my blood sugar finally went from borderline diabetic to your blood sugar is now diabetic, you either get results or go on pills at my doctors suggestion. Just had my three month bloodwork done and the reduction in blood sugar and cholesterol are staggering.
