This. I worked with JP Morgan Chase for a brief stint and they sent us to Acxiom for week-long training on how they do data collection and what we could do with it. One of the stories they shared was how if a product was purchased at a Disney store and that same account had previous purchases for children's toys, then we could correlate that account with an address and send the address an offer for a Disney-branded Visa or Mastercard. If I remember right there were over 500 data points on households, not including transaction histories.

I second this, and highly recommend sharepoint for all you collaboration and intranet purposes as well. As a developer, I can truly say how happy I am when I need to work on a Sharepoint site. Sharepoint even integrates with Outlook! Amazing integration with your existing Microsoft stack!

I picked up programming in my mid-20s and, after a couple corporate jobs, have been freelancing for the last 11 years or so. I get contacted by recruiters on a weekly and sometimes daily basis, I have a nice network of SMBs that I occasionally work with, there has been no shortage of work. My rates are between 85 and 150/hr, and because I have an LLC, all profits are directly paid to the LLC. I pay less than 10% in taxes at the end of the year after expenses and deductions and what not.

If you're a good programmer, have decent social skills, and know how to sell yourself, you can easily make 100k+ a year while making your own schedule. Fuck corporate.

His lyrics:

“I’m not in reality, So when u see me fucking go insane and make the news, the paper, and the fucking federal house of horror known as the white house, Don’t fucking cry or be worried because all YOU people fucking caused this shit. Fuck a boston bominb wait till u see the shit I do, I’m a be famous rapping, and beat every murder charge that comes across me"

Compare that against the shit I remember in the 90s (dre, snoop dog, easy z, compton's most wanted, tupac, blah blah blah) and it's kinda poetic. Eg. Above the Law "Another Execution" and it seems like rap lyrics are getting better:

Because I take out my weapon And I quickly start blastin', I go total loco like a crazy assasin, I look at my posse they say nothings confusin', Why? why? why? It's just another execution

Seriously, Tesla would be smart to get their industrial strength, enterprise-ready, better-for-the-environment batteries FAA certified so that other aircraft manufacturers,such as Boeing, Airbus, and others, can license the patented technology and count that it will make Tesla, and its investors, more money.

There, FTFY.

If I want your opinion, I'll ask you to fill out the necessary form.
