FWIW my experience is closer to 200k minimum. Especially if you want to be in one of the 1 or 2 best school districts in the area. But yeah, right ballpark. Definitely cheaper than…

Since some people feel I'm being unfair to the midwest, I'll mention: * Chicago has a pretty decent public transit systems. * MSP and St. Louis both have decent light rail systems …

I'm not saying "all midwesterners are racist and believe in crazy shit". I'm saying it's more common and harder to avoid in the midwest. I think that claim is both true and demonst…

This off-hand comment sent me on a hilarious wiki tangent. At some point you'll be able to say your Calculus lecturer was the Queen's father. Just think how different his life woul…

A Joel List is a quick-and-dirty list you can use to assess the competence of an organization. I don't think this list achieves that goal. #1 and #2 (CICD) are fair additions to Jo…

Yeah, nothing says "claiming authority" like explicitly calling yourself "Alt". /s

1 is bullshit. Anonymity is baked into first amendment protections. The political nature of govt's request is blatant.

The respect goes both ways. I call people with doctoral degrees "Dr." unless I'm invited otherwise or we're in a non-professional setting. Doctoral degrees usually aren't mere piec…

Fascinating. To this day, it's nearly impossible to find any account of these events. It's really hard to imagine that someone could commit such outright blatant theft and get away…

I've worked for employers who were 100% convinced this is theft, even without some intent to use that information, and even discussed very similar hypotehticals in on boarding.

Right, things are a bit confused at the moment because the parent's hypothetical is so close to the case at hand. I'm addressing parent's concrete hypothetical -- where the person …
