My biggest problem is that if we are trying to measure the economic value fo a college degree, then shouldn't we only be looking at recent college grads? I mean, he is saying there is economic value in college degree (and therefore you should buy them), but what if you were looking to go to college today? Is that college degree when you graduate going to be worth it in 4 years? I would wager to bet that if we looked at the numbers, college degrees are least valuable to recent graduates and most valuable to people with years of experience and also happen to to possess a college degree.
So what your saying is her post is false and she is just trying to drive traffic to her YT account/Blog? I'm sorry I am reading between the lines and I think that's what your saying. Innocent question, no offense intended.
I think the real question you should be asking yourself is:
If I I get hired on to a start-up that fails (as most start-ups do) where is my CS degree, 1 year professional experience at name brand company, and x years experience at no name/failed company going to leave me?
If you think you are going to be sitting pretty after the worst case scenario (which also happens to be the most likely scenario btw), then you should consider working at a start-up. I think some other commenters have touched on this topic as well.
Reading seems to be the thing they hate, because the vast majority them believe in their hearts that this site pirates their works. That or logically thought, but hey they are probably weak willed men incapable of logical thought in the first place.
LOL, don't we all wish we had enough karma to downvote...
But alas, we are all but weak willed trolls in a growing thread of fuck tards. Don't fret, I'm certain I can attribute your poor taste to your being a man and me being a woman. Sexist pig. Vaginas; Fist pump; HN; Fist pump;

The place each person watches is on their personal computers. When a user streams content or "looks" at a webpage, they are downloading it and viewing it on their personal computer. In this context, where is this place of public accommodation?
This case is like suing the sales man on the corner that you buy your newspaper from because he doesn't know sign language.
Of course this is all a rather technical interpretation of the situation, but think about it another way. Should this precedent be set, American businesses could be paying tens of thousands of dollars more than foreign business websites who need not comply with U.S. Law. The best part is closed captioning streaming video is just the tip of the iceberg. Once the ADA patent trolls get moving, we may our see(or what would have been our) tech start-ups incorporate abroad to lesson not only the direct web site costs, but the lawyer fees they will be paying once the ADA trolls think they are richer enough to be extorted.
Most people? Who are you referring? Any professional in her situation, male or female, would have spoken up if they had a problem. Period.
Those people may well have stereotyped her, but when she fails to speak up about it and sits there silently giving no indication that something is wrong, what would you expect. This isn't kindergarten. These people don't get paid to read minds. What it sounds like, is at least part of the time these people genuinely thought they were helping her, and she gave no indication yo the contrary.
She is not a professional, pure and simple. If you aren't a professional, then what are you doing at E3? What are you doing in any situation where assertiveness is expected in order to get your job done?
"OK, kids, time to stop squabbling in the sandbox and go home."
I could say the same for our judicial system up until now. Slam them all day if you'd like (referring to the judge), but all the patent troll rulings up to this point has precipitated this state of affairs.
I'm glad someone made the connection; if his landlord is going to Airbnb anyway, why not cut a deal?
If I was his landlord, I would have more than enough leverage with the breech of contract to get him to sign a new similar contract, this one charging maybe 2 times more rent. The landlord gets paid more, which in turn covers his slightly higher (or possible the same) landlords insurance and then some. The landlord lets his tenant do what he's good at (maintain a sterling Airbnb profile and choose good renters) and the landlord takes a larger cut. Worst case scenario, his tenant doesn't take the deal and the landlord proceeds to kick the tenant out for breech of contract (could possibly lead to a court battle, but breech of contract is a pretty cut and dry phenomenon and the contract most likely has breech of contract clauses built into it) and do was he was going to do anyway (rent it out through Airbnb or otherwise).
As it stands the landlord will be throwing money at lawyers (possibly covered by landlords insurance, but could effect the premiums later), which may not turn out favorably for the landlord in court, to ultimately do something that is outside his area of expertise (act as an Airbnb hotel himself).
"Before yottabytes of data from the deep web and elsewhere can begin piling up inside the servers of the NSA’s new center, they must be collected. To better accomplish that, the agency has undergone the largest building boom in its history, including installing secret electronic monitoring rooms in major US telecom facilities. Controlled by the NSA, these highly secured spaces are where the agency taps into the US communications networks, a practice that came to light during the Bush years but was never acknowledged by the agency. The broad outlines of the so-called warrantless-wiretapping program have long been exposed—how the NSA secretly and illegally bypassed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which was supposed to oversee and authorize highly targeted domestic eavesdropping; how the program allowed wholesale monitoring of millions of American phone calls and email. In the wake of the program’s exposure, Congress passed the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, which largely made the practices legal. Telecoms that had agreed to participate in the illegal activity were granted immunity from prosecution and lawsuits. What wasn’t revealed until now, however, was the enormity of this ongoing domestic spying program."
Its a recent article outlining what's ahead (and presently implemented) for the NSA. Given what is already known, the U.S. Govt already has access to your e-mail, and they have the capabilities to decrypt it should your e-mail become high priority.
"The simple answer is: Those who want a job, don’t have the tech skills that companies want. It’s simple supply & demand. Their skills are generic business & have no coding / technical background. "
to read:
"The simple answer is: Those who want a job, don’t have the tech degrees and years of tech experience that companies want. It’s simple supply & demand."
Anyone can learn how to code. Anyone can learn how to code well. The problem is learning technically skills would help you do a new job, but they wouldn't help you get one. Minimum requirements include tech degrees and years of technical experience in the field. Having project work helps, but if you can't meet the minimum requirements on experience and degrees, then it doesn't matter what your technical skills actually are. There are a small handful of companies that make an exception to this tradition, but as it turns out I would say they make up less than .01% of employers (of course this is a ballpark estimate, based on my personal experience, but I would invite anyone to pick out major employer that fits this category and is actively hiring).
I also agree with michaelochurch regarding technical silos and just bad employer expectations in general.
>After a small number of failed logins, your IP is temporarily banned. That means that bruteforcing is nearly impossible.
If someone in genuinely trying to crack passwords, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they know what proxy servers are and how to use them.
This is the strategy of weak people. If it is actually used, in the way prescribed, by an average middle class American it will inevitably lead to financial ruin.
The only people who can realistically live off of this strategy are investors who know what their doing and can easily make orders of magnitude more than this using their own methods.
Though if you think this is the strategy for you, then more power to you. Can I just get you to sign a waiver that bars you from whining to the government or big business when it doesn't work out for you?
