Actually, they do get their fee if they show they initiated the relationship. Goes both ways: if the company is already working with the candidate, then recruiter doesn't get their fee.

So, not a legit reason not to share their client's name.

In my experience younger voters are more likely to vote for "give me free everything" which drives up the debt.

Stop electing Republicans and Democrats would be a start.

> They've been immoral/unethical from the start.

Yeah, that's what I don't understand about the current outrage at Facebook. IMHO they are far ethically better today than they were say 6-10 years ago. I just don't understand the outrage today if its ok to do what they did several years ago. I mean, I left Facebook in 2011 due to their ethical issues.

Lots of good advice here, but why aren't you talking to a tax attorney or other legal advisor?

There's a lot of private information that's valuable to others. Doesn't make it right or ethical.

I remember driving 6 hours from home back to college during August in the midwest and having to stop every couple hours at a gas station just to clean the windshield. Now its rare to hit an insect on the road.

What the others already said; also, I am reminded of Enron and the stories almost 20 years ago of people being wiped out due to the Enron collapse. My internal reaction at the time was "diversify a little."

PayPal | Senior and Staff Software Engineers | San Jose | Onsite | Full-time

At PayPal we're building the next generation of API platforms that power marketplaces. The Marketplaces API (developer.paypal.com) is live and given its adoption rate we need to architect and design for anticipated scale as well as publish new, highly avaialble, low latency APIs. Our team owns the entire stack from the API definition and public documentation through the bits and bytes that run in our data centers.

We are looking for software engineers that want to design APIs and the microservices that powers them. Our engineers own the all the decisions for our product stack and are empowered to define our roadmap. Please email me at jreagan at PayPal dot com for more information.

Interesting. My 2013 BMW vibrates the steering wheel if it thinks I'm going to move sideways into something (and that includes fast moving cars coming from behind) or it beeps loudly if it thinks I'm going to hit something in front of my based on my speed and distance of the object in front. And its highly accurate IMHO. My take on self-driving is someone needs to hook up these signals to controls on the car - the "hard part" does a reliable job.

+1 on the Millionaire Next Door. Read it in my mid-20s 25 years ago, glad I did.

As a parent of two teenage boys who's had this conversation with many parents of teenagers: a) this has been the trend for several years b) they are choosing Youtube over TV, Netflix, etc c) teens go where their parents aren't (Discord, WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc).

As I heard a teenager say a couple years ago "why would I create a Facebook account, its for old moms."

Love the idea, thanks for this!

You forgot the smiley at the end of your last sentence.

I've always thought of it this way (since my 20s or so): 1. If I died today, would I have any regrets? 2. If I live to be 100+, would I be a burden on society?

I make decisions with the goal of being able to answer no to both of those questions. I'm in my mid 40s. I don't always get it right, but I feel the thought exercise is very helpful.
