the jobs that lead to potential upward mobility aren't in Lincoln. Plus, this kind of forward-thinking (incur $15k worth of debt now, pay it off with money saved on rent later) is really difficult for someone like myself who already has a lot of debt.

Don't employees usually bring a +1 to these events anyway?

Oddly, the company party at my place of work has been employee-only for the last half dozen years, which has consequently meant I have left the party not long after opening and saying hello to a few folks, playing darts or something, grabbing a drink, and getting the heck outta there since I want to head home to my +1 and not expose my +1 to the feeling of abandonment.

> The problem was that other Cloudflare customers started calling and threatening to cancel their service if Cloudflare didn't cut the Daily Stormer off.

This is not the excuse they used back in August. Back then, the CEO said "The Daily Stormer site was bragging on their bulletin boards about how Cloudflare was one of them and that is the opposite of everything we believe. That was the tipping point for me.”

What a quote! "women are like cheese, they get blue veins and start to stink."

Older women (even ones with children) can be just as beautiful as younger ones. Not with an attitude like that, though.

It doesn't help working out is perceived as something manly, and many women appear to think it's beneath them. Women under 30 are used to the fact they can have attention with zero working out. They use make-up instead, but it can carry you only so far if you get flabby and overweight.

The phrase "Like lipstick o na pig" might be rude, but it didn't come from nowhere.

Curious what your answer would have been, though. Most of the answers seem to be "find a toy version of it".

Let kids do what they want, it's not necessary to become a computer programmer to have a happy life or to make money.

If they ever find the interest on their own, they'll ask.

that's pretty much the best way to get kids to do anything.

"Whatever you do, son, don't read this Calculus textbook. And you are not allowed to eat these vegetables."

When I was younger, if my parents told me not to eat vegetables, I’d be happy. I was already refusing to eat them.

I agree with you. The third group is also the first people to get laid off and thrown away when there is an economic downturn.

Actually execs have less job security than the third group. The execs' value is largely tied to their existing employer (vs. having transferable skills like the third group), and they are very vulnerable to random reorgs within the company, so it is not uncommon for them to be fired and not be able to find something comparable somewhere else.

I'd say the salary more than compensates for this.

No, that would be contractors :)

This is one thing I can't stand about the Bay Area. Roommates are for college kids. It is not normal to be 30 years old, making over 100k, and living with roommates. But everyone I know lives like this, including myself.

Same background here. China, not Moscow or Crimea

I worry about the next generation. They say that wealth skips every other generation, because if a child grows up in a well-to-do family, they will not value hard work as much.

> They say that wealth skips every other generation

Strangely, in all the empirical studies of socioeconomic status and its relations to family and environment, I've ever seen one detect that effect.

I suspect that the popular saying really just reflects that parents and children have high contact and lots of friction, and grandparents and grandchildren less so, and nothing about the reality of wealth or hard work.

my wife and i have the same concern. we fully intend to make them work as hard as we did. though theory is often more difficult to translate into actual practice. it's not feasible to move out of a good community that you spent your life working towards just so your kids can understand the meaning of what it's like to live poor, like your parents did.

The article only says they found a "security risk". I wonder what that is, and how it would allow identity theft if they are actually using public/private keys. Did Estonia secretly backdoor their encryption?
