The Scotty Principle is important, though the degree to which you over-estimate really depends on your manager/corporate culture. This is a skill that takes years to hone and you just get better at it over time. Also, be wary of people that under-estimate. They do major harm to a project.

It seems to me that most good software developers change jobs every 2-3 years. If I was at a job for 6 years, interviewers would ask why I was there for so long. They often see it as a sign that you are lazy. I've been at my current job for 5 years and colleagues keep telling me that I'm in danger of not being able…

This is tough for a lot of developers (myself included). It really hurts you during interviews when they don't see you as being confident in your abilities. Now that I'm at a senior position where I have to manage a few other developers I've really started to see just how bad most people are at coding. It seems…

As someone that ref'd kids hockey for a few years, the parents at the games can get pretty out of control. It's not particularly uncommon to have to eject parents from the rink. It was a pretty crappy job, but it paid well at the time (considering I was only 14-16). Having to get irate adults to leave is difficult…

That is far too expensive. I'd say NP at $10k IF it was well done. This doesn't look well done, so NP at $5k, mostly for parts.

Not that is should matter, but I'm in my mid 30s. If we have too much regulation then growth is slowed down a bit, if we have too little then not-wealthy people and smaller businesses get screwed. Obviously the government shouldn't pick corporate favorites, but they should ensure consumer protection. If some…

I'm just saying that no involvement with the 'free market' is an incredibly bad thing. Better a little to much involvement than too little.

Safety 3rd, after looking cool and having fun.

And there was a time when monopolies were even more commonplace than today and insider trading was just how business was done. Does anyone that isn't a billionaire want that again?

My computer and 2 of my bikes were all worth more than my last car (though less than my current one). At one point, I had 3 bikes (not all mine) totaling about $12000 on a rack on my $1500 beater.

I'd value this as worth a bit more than a comparable xb, which seems to be about $4000. So I'd say this is a NP up to maybe $6500, just because of the condition and rarity. No mileage on the posting is a little scary though. Also, be 100% sure on the import legality before purchasing.

I'm pretty sure it's usually spelled "squabble". At least I've never seen it spelled "scwable".

I'm surprised that T-bird went so cheaply. Nice looking car. I would have guessed at least $15k.

How can a game journalist be that out of touch with the gaming community? I'm hardly a prolific gamer and most of my friends aren't gamers,, but even I've played LoL and WoT. And how are they even remotely hard to understand? It's your character against the others in the map. Just like a multiplayer FPS but with…

Nice article, but it would have been great if you could answer his questions about maintenance and reliability as those are the most important questions.

It may be possible that a pay-walled site can make money, but you're going to lose the vast majority of your readers/viewers. I've only ever paid for content on a handful of sites, but generally it seems like you can get 90% of the articles for free elsewhere. For me, I don't care about the production value, I…

I hadn't heard that before, can you provide a link? Does that apply to the first 200k per year, or over the model's lifetime? And what's to stop Tesla from making some minor changes and calling it a new model every 200k sold to keep getting the rebates?
