I am in a city of 1.26 million people, in a second world country called the United States and I have only 2 choices over 4Mbps. and zero choices over 24Mbps

Congrats, I know you probably had to eat a lot of artifacts to get where you are today.

Most companies seem to think Node.js developers are comfortable getting paid just barely enough for beard-wax, pabst blue ribbon, and double decker bicycles.

Whereas Java developers expect to get paid market wages so they can live in houses and buy cars, that sort of thing.

Node.js - I don't want to pay my programmers
Java - I don't want to pay microsoft

so yes, it matters.

These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triump die, like fire and powder
Which, as they kiss, consume

Boy meets the wrong girl, they die for love.

->
Boy, girl, dead.

->
people.forEach(die)


I mean, sure it gets the job done, but man, might as well just pay someone in India to write and read it.

This question alone should be enough to shut down every single "conventional" conversation about diet and exercise.

Otherwise we are just talking about perfectly spherical cows.

I agree, I was referring to this article a day ago http://science.slashdot.org/st...

Everything ever about diet and exercise.

I guess we need to rehash this?

A Staples store is a warehouse for their office supply delivery business. The retail presence is more there for brand awareness and a showcase.

To contrast, Radio Shack is a cellphone kiosk that once sold electronics.

This is about like wondering how Bank of America can stay in business if nobody uses safety deposit boxes anymore.

I have 5 kids, 4 of which are school age. They are all homeschooled, not all of them have always been homeschooled, we move back and forth if needs arise or if a situation is not working.

There is a joke we told at my telecommute job.
"It's so nice for the bank that we work from home, because now we are in the office 24 hours a day."

That is the same attitude we have about school. Every second I spend with my kids has at least an undertone of me trying to keep them excited, curious, and intellectual about the world.

It isn't that they never go to school, because they are home. It is that they never LEAVE school, because our family is a school, with very clear and persistent intellectual goals and pursuits.

This is hard. It is expensive. It is a privilege afforded to us by only needing a single income. Every day we challenge our kids intellectually and academically, there is no other school that we could send them to that could boast that.

In my experience, someone in Texas or North Carolina or wherever makes 10k MORE than someone on the coast. For some reason, the higher the cost of living in the area I am offered a job, the lower the salary.

And hats, hats, as far as the eye can see!

If you think facebook and google pays outrageous salaries then either you are 20 years old, you have never interviewed there. They pay about 60% of the going market rate. The vast majority of people prefer to be paid in money, not nap pods and gourmet dinners during "optional" (expected) overtime.
