@guyinblackhat Just learning about his death. Just was at another funeral yesterday for another friend who died at his own hand. I thought of him often, as I was looking at maybe doing some work in Micronesia and he’s the only person I knew who lived in the us pacific territories.

@WCInvestor If you make $500k a year and don’t understand how you could survive on less, you have completely forgotten how you lived on $50-60k/yr as a resident. It is easy to imagine spending more, hard to imagine spending less. Don’t cry about taxes, everyone’s first $60k is taxed the same
If there would be a ratio of how much trust we have in a group and how much power they have to ruin your life, I think IT professionals are at the extreme end of that scale.
