Instead of $1/day, do $365/year to limit transaction fees.

You could even offer to let them withdraw the dividend each month as an allowance or let it reinvest.

I was thinking the same thing. Who is really going to read these updates? If I was forced to do this at a company, I'd probably automate responses with a bot of my own. I'd call it the schitt-bot.

It could be worse: PayPal and their 3.1 MB Child_Snowflakes_8_V2.mp4

Not really. One could be deaf or blind from birth, yet fully intelligent. It's more a matter of getting sensory from the world into the brain. That sensory may be visual, auditory, touch, etc. The brain is very plastic in this manner.

It seems a lot of consultancies follow this pattern:

    1. Hate permanent job.
    2. Start consultancy.
    3. Spend half the day finding work/collecting bills; other half programming.
    4. Eventually find reliable client with long-term project always pays on time.
    5. Cancels all other contracts to focus on reliable client.
    6. Go to step 1.

The way to break free from this is to scale the consultancy by hiring developers and profiting on overhead. This was not mentioned in the post, but if you neglect the scale factor, it will be very difficult to break past a typical employee salary. There are only so many hours in the day. The alternative is to sell a product.

In reality though, I'd like to know what the author did for health insurance when he quit his job weeks/months after having a baby. Medical risk is very high during this period.. looks like he is based in Canada (not US), so I guess that answers it.

One of the features of KeePass is that you never see or type an actual password. You simply hit CTRL-C to copy the pw to memory and paste into the form. This is a guard against key loggers and visual snooping.

What does this mean: "extraction of KeePass 2.x password database information from memory"?

When is KeePass data held in memory? When the program is simply running or only when you copy a password to the clipboard?

KeePass shows accounts in a ListView type of control and in a dialog, both of which probably store the data in memory. I'm just wondering if this tool can snatch accounts just from simply having KeePass running, in which case this could be bad for malware/spyware. Picture a malware program running, waits for KeePass to show up in the process list, grabs all your accounts and sends them to a remote site. Yikes.

I've been on two interviews recently, and both saw experience in .NET as a negative. I found myself having to down-play experience in .NET in both cases, in order to guide the discussion toward more applicable skills for the role. Even when you may be a polyglot programmer, interviewers tend to label you as .NET or Microsoft. Which, has apparently become a bad thing. Unless you're interviewing with a Fortune-100 company, in which case, .NET is still somewhat popular.

Agreed. Sellers and buyers of domain names (or web sites) selling for at least $300 should use an escrow service. The fee is around $25 and can usually be split between parties.

Just think about the price you're paying/selling the site for. If the amount is more than you're willing to lose, use an escrow service.

That's the problem with oil and gold. No dividends. So you sit on it for a couple of years, earning nothing. Still, oil is a finite resource and is very sensitive to world events, war, etc.

Audio books has made "reading" a hobby for me. I never thought I was the type that really enjoyed reading a good book. After switching from radio to audio books while driving, traffic has almost become enjoyable (not quite, but you get the idea). I've read so many books the past few years, it's amazing. It feels like it increases your brain's learning rate, or at the very least, it gives you some very interesting topics to talk about.
