I’ve been on American and Jet Blue flights at least half the weeks we’ve had so far this year. Flight Attendants ALWAYS tell people the huge bags have to be gate checked, at least while I’m watching. The one or two times some asshole has snuck past with a giant hardshell to the back row of the plane, the whole plane…

Here are the relevant government guidelines: http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/ha…

Because Google lives in a world where this law exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_A…

You should absolutely not have a CS degree if you want to work an infrastructure job like “IT Architect”. Total waste of skills. “Software Architect” is the job you’re thinking of.

You do the work, tell HR your job title is changing to reflect your duties whether they agree to it or not and update your resume. Six months later, if there’s no corresponding monetary bump, start looking to do the same job somewhere else.

This is awesome. If it’s making it hard for the rest of us, it’s probably making it difficult for these things too: http://thenextweb.com/us/2011/04/20/…

E-Trade has a really good native advertising campaign going on, apparently.

Who, outside of the financial industry, is even allowed to run your credit when you apply for a job? Genuinely curious.

That is true. It also has no minimums, and the expense ratio gets much closer once you have enough money to care.

I'm glad I can be of help!

TL;DR version: I think drug testing and insurance are inadequate and largely deceptive selling points

Not having the box checked is literally the entire cost of not going to college, and man what a cost it is... I have gotten to about 20 or so second/third round interviews where the person who represents HR in the interview process (not the hiring manager/director/vp, workgroup member or departmental peer) spends the…

I think that is incorrect because, as I understand it, the mechanism by which stocks(and bonds and commodities) are priced has nothing at all to do with earnings and everything to do with the balance of buyers and sellers, referred to as "net volume". Net volume is positive when the amount of the thing people want to…

I use Betterment, which has no minimum investment and invests in a shit ton of really great vanguard and other ETFs.

Doesn't need to be hip bones, tbh. The bones are just a source of sufficient carbon to turn the rusty rocks from iron ore into a passable steel. You can make about ten ax heads from each bear. It's all about eliminating waste through badassity.

I did not know this, but it explains the ridiculously high apparent survival rate of nobles in battle.

Any self-respecting mountain man forges his own new Ax heads from rusty rocks and the bones of bears he has killed in hand-to-paw combat.

I can verify from experience that the strategy you describe works. The toughest part is being polite, because all of my opinions can't be expressed in polite company. But if you can find some common ground or at least someone who likes to argue, the sexy times practically happen without my even realizing it.

Spending is good; saving is bad. But this is a really basic view that can make personal finance intimidating. It makes us feel guilty for spending, even when it's practical. It can make us overly obsessed with saving.

That's basically how all sciencey folks I've met work. It doesn't really matter what academic field you're focused on, the incumbent olds demand you pay homage to them before they let you into the system. Layman conceptions of morality and scientific meritocracy have no place in actual scientific "meritocracy".
