In general, I think the soft skills sections should get a lot more promotion (it's buried so far down the sidebar I had to scroll!). The technical stuff is already well-documented elsewhere, but nobody ever told me how important being politically savvy was in this niche until I had already blown both feet off several times.
"Higher interest rates" doesn't even begin to define the exploitation of these people who are desperate for cash. The rates for these loans are on the order of 400%, which makes the comparison laughable.
It's almost like saying "the US national debt is $22 trillion, which is more than the average American makes in a year."
"You did not reveal yourself to be human. Goodbye!"
Since then I've filed Twilio alongside Cogent in the "doesn't ask too many questions about who uses its services and for what" category.

Are these roads safer or prettier or something that I'm missing from the map?
Amtrak from Dallas to Austin is a 6h22 trip for $29 (value fare), departing only once per day (11:50am) and taking about 2 hours to reach Fort Worth, a 30-minute drive.
By contrast, there are 11 Greyhound buses from Dallas to Austin per day, from $13-19, and the ride is never longer than 3h40 (mostly 3h to 3h10). There are usually 3-4 Megabuses in each direction per day as well, for around $12 for an unreserved seat.
So far it hasn't been.
As a former competitor in USACO, ACSL, etc., I would have loved to have resources like this around for practice and self-study back in high school.
I always had Batman fantasies about that thing.
FWIW it works quite well if you connect it to a MIDI host and use another controller to play or sequence the synths on it.
...just don't connect your 12v AC adapter to the OP-1's USB hub that wants 5v, or you'll lose all data connectivity (USB disk mode and MIDI) to the unit. :(
Glad to see another Townview graduate representing us well. :)
Maybe this deprives the kids in the neighborhood school of some diversity near the top end of achievement, but maybe they shouldn't have been dicks to us in middle school if they wanted us to stick around.
Disruption is out there, but as long as Live Nation/AEG owns the big venues where you can see Journey or Kanye or whatever popular thing, there will probably always be TM extracting their pound of flesh.
I heard someone refer to something called the "Economist effect", where an article in the Economist about a particular trend signals its end.
