They need to ship all of the rats from New York City to the Sahara desert to turn it back into a jungle.

If the Philippine debt is repaid, you'll have established the new Silicon Valley, complete with a talent pool dominated by software engineers and a large number of blockchain and AI experts.

A suggestion for Apple.

1. Apple is worth $2.44 trillion USD; pay off the whole $240 billion USD debt owed by the Philippines.

2. Establish Apple HQ facilities in the Philippines and employ the vast majority of the country's talented software engineers there.

3. Take advantage of the cheap labour, low costs, and high standard of living to ride the wave of unending profit.

This is how you turn things around and switch the lightbulb.

The real reason why Mirabilis ICQ become unpopular.

On the height of their popularity, they started naming their products appending either "devil" and "demon" to their products.

Of course, most people who are conservatives back then like parents, aunts, 99% of the their users, basically other than "you" the power users didn't like the new naming.

So they move-on to Yahoo Messenger and never looked back.

Moral: Don't name your popular product like how Mirabilis ICQ does it back in the late 90s.

Interesting, upon 'ps aux', There's a 'sleep infinity' process running.

No Ruby Pre-installed.

Instead of going to the Moon, why not just create a self-sustaining vehicle that can allow humans to survive sustainably in any terrain, desert, forests, mountains, land, sea, lake or water. On soil, above or underwater.

And make it a race prize competition similar to Google Lunar X Prize Race.

It’s not a framework problem, it’s a CSS problem.

Depression is nature and unescapable, you just have to bare it and build endurance to lower the threshold of the stimulus that trigger it. It needs to be running simultaneously with your other natural brain activities.

In 2011, I found a job of my dreams, but it ended in 2012, since then I began to took jobs that I'm not comfortable and I do not like just to provide for my family, it was hard and sad, and it lasted from 2012 to 2016. Now I'm happy I have a new job that I'm very comfortable with.

Depression is not new to me, I've experienced it since childhood, teenage period and throughout college. There's no OFF switch for it, the only way to turn it off is build strength and endurance for it, sooner or later it it will attack again, but it would be too weak to affect you.

You'll get into Google if you have a CS degree plus good in memorization.

memorization != understanding, I hope Google should give chance to the latter being the "time-tested proven" engineers which some can't answer "computer science trivia" because most of them don't spend time memorizing theories, they spend their time building and applying what they learned.

I don't have a bachelor's degree, Asian and already 13 years out of college, now a family man and going back to college to get my degree is not an option (since I'm working to provide for my family), is there a possibility for me to work or start a company in the US?

Am I the only one who notice the '.space' domain?

Legalizing Marijuana is one of the sureshot way to boost the economy of any country (poor, third world, middle and rich) through tourism, travel/leisure, business commerce and export.

That is $200, then after a year you will have to pay $100 to get updates. That was not cheap, I was hoping that I can continue recieving updates for my initial purchase, since many apps which is payed only once does that.

It was previously a New York based startup that is now fully based in Singapore.

My english is fluent and compare to Singaporean english it was excellent, considering that majority of their employees are Singaporeans, they might have preferred Singlish speaking candidates.

The explosions is so timely it gives more reasons to oppose any US immigration reforms next week.

So timely, gives more reasons to oppose the immigration reform next week.

I predict that Bitcoin will be banned in the U.S. before it would be adopted by any countries.

Well I just killall chrome processes anyway for my desktop to be usable, these multiple and dozens of chrome processes is an absolute nuisance, and it crashes my machine, my desktop, chrome is not even reliable coz it crashes on me everytime. if you want to get pissed bigtime, use chrome.

I wonder what's wrong with this comment, I get downvoted for wishing out loud for a supercomputer to code on?

If any big companies today would be the first to utilize Bitcoin and use them, they would really glad that they did, with the prices of bitcoin soaring, the more people invest in it the more the price gets higher and people trusts the currency, it would be really wise to invest in them. Imagine if any of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Paypal would use them first, it would be faster to propagate bitcoins into the main financial system, and I think they will make a really good and wise decision.

Banks is still necessary to migrate analog currencies to digital currencies in todays financial economy. People trust banks and they would also be offering support on how to use the new currency, and with their investments on the highest security to guard their assets, it's much secure for them to generate the wallets and safeguard the information and incorporate them into the main currency. Banks are absolute necessity for propagating the new system, and merging the old currencies into bitcoin.

Imagine, if banks are using a bitcoin wallet, issues a bitcoin card (in a form of debit, savings card or credit card) with private keys on back and public keys on front, the bank then deposits money into the wallet then the end user withdraw money with the same bank or supporting banks.

This is one of the scenarios I think that would incorporate bitoin into the current financial system.

Oh I wish I have a supercomputer and could play with one right now.

Is Persona reviving the old Microsoft Passport?

Microsoft first implemented this in early 2000s, I remember Microsoft Passport marketing the single sign-on feature, it did not catch up.

Thank you so much for this post, this gives me a little bit of hope and urge me to keep trucking.

I too was a man full of rejection:

1. I was kicked as a co-founder of a successful startup. 2. Upon finding a full-time job, a year later I was fired and have a lawyer to write demand letters for me which I never comply. 3. Found another job to work remotely that require me to have a Macbook Pro, but being financially short I converted my only desktop to a hackintosh. Then months later they send somebody at my house and upon discovery that I don't have a Macbook Pro I was fired. 4. Found another job, months later I was being shouted to leave the office and was fired. 5. Found another job, I was really happy I was into mobile app development, and 2 weeks away from release and shipping of the app, I was fired and the app didn't get shipped.

Right now I'm hoping to get into developing my own product, only if I have the strength to move on, and this post gives me a little bit of hope, I say 'Good luck, bad luck, who knows?'

Number 1 rule for hiring geeks.

- Do not ask for a .doc Microsoft Word document resume

Because we might be scrambling and downloading LibreOffice and converting our .latex resume to .doc, if you want to get our attention, ask for TXT, PDF or LaTeX format.

Looks and feels like ruby-lang.org

Just saying.

If you give someone a job that is not their forte, the odds are they may be really good at it, or not.

Well, Jesus is a carpenter, Peter was a fisherman, Bill Gates is an economist, Steve Jobs is a marketing guy. See the pattern here?
