    Salary Negotiation

    So I just got a job at a company my friend started working at a month ago. He got his offer in January and I just got mine a week ago to start in August. I knew what he got offered so I knew what to expect, and my offer was identical to his, as from what I heard they pay all new hires the same...

    Business School / MBA

    If I'm going to go back to school full time and get an MBA, I only want one from a top-10 place. Obviously you can still land great jobs with a lower ranked school (or without an MBA in general), but if I'm going to spend this much money and time, I want to go to the best possible school I can...

    Business School / MBA

    Anyone here get an MBA from a top school (Harvard, MIT, Kellogg, etc)? I'm thinking about applying in Round 2 but not 100% sure yet. A friend of a friend recommended that I get an admissions consultant (wasn't selling himself, just a consultant in general), but I'm pretty reluctant to drop a...

    DOTA 2

    Sad seeing secret lose. Been a fan of kuro for like a decade and Puppey is such a boss. Must be pretty rough for rtz/zai seeing EG sitting in Top3. S4 had such a dominate game 2 and then just fed sooo hard game 3.

    Golden AM baby! Woot! It also came with the Sven item, and although the animation is stupid, he is my favorite hero.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Looking for advice. ~5 years out of school with a BSEE. Finishing up my MS in communication/DSP while working full time and will be done this December. I currently work for a defense contractor and it is quite boring/lowish pay (~80s in LA while my 2 friends that do SW are making 95k&115k in...

    DOTA 2

    Still cant believe Secret got rid of n0tail. There has to be some drama or something there, he was playing extremely well and seemed like he fit their team chemistry really well. Secret was an easy team to root for since they had Puppy, Kuro, and N0tail who are my favorite players outside of...

    NYE and Uber

    Uber is awesome, I use it at least once a week in LA, but NYE will probably be super expensive. Halloween was like 4x surge pricing here and I have to imagine NYE in NYC will be way more. Your best bet might be to call a normal cab company and schedule a pickup. Also to anyone that...

    Computer Issues

    Weird internet issue. Recently our wireless router was moved from my roommates room out to our living room. This was over thanksgiving and recently I've been noticing some noticeable lag which has increased to where browsing the internet sometimes doesn't even work. I figured that the cable...

    What a tournament. Every game seems to be good, both bo5 semifinals have gone the distance, and an amazing all star match.

    DOTA 2

    Valve takes 62.5% of the profit, 25% towards the prize pool, and 12.5% towards the organizer. Valve matches any money put towards the prize pool, so the usual split is 75% towards valve and 25% towards the organizer. 860k in ticket sales is 107k towards the organizers. Pretty good for an...

    I dunno about apemother, look at Alliance vs. Navi a few days ago in the Summit. Dendi absolutely destroyed him mid, I've never seen a bigger stomp mid.

    used or new car

    If you buy used, get a fucking inspection and check carfax AND autocheck. I bought my first car used, 2 year old F-150 that looked perfect, totally clean carfax. Got a great deal on it, so pulled the trigger. After 2 years in the snow, rust started appearing, took it to an autobody place...

    DOTA 2

    Also, look at tomorrow. The 2nd round loser bracket games are scheduled to have game 1 of the BO3 played and the rest on Saturday. That isn't how dota is played, totally stupid to give a break in the middle of the series. I'm sure the players are really going to want to play in the all star...

    DOTA 2

    I think this is the worst format of a tournament I've ever seen. 8 teams don't even get to play in the main event. If I went there and na'vi was already knocked out I'd be furious. No tiebreaker game for 5/6 which is 500k vs. 60k, as glad as I am that navi got lucky and won the tiebreaker...

    DOTA 2

    Finals at 9am PST on a Monday is retarded. I'll watch if Navi is playing, maybe if EG/c9 are playing, but no way I'm going to skip work to watch China vs. China.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Year waitlist? We got 4 passes for memorial day last year on about 3 weeks notice. Also the water isn't that dirty compared to any other river I've been in. My problem with it is you hike all the fucking way down there and then you realize there are people taking helicopters down. The...

    Yes, there is no problem. I'm sure the 5-random people had similar MMR as sing and EE. Is valve supposed to flag people who are teammates? Are you retarded?

    Becoming a Youtuber

    How many views/subscribers do you generally need for this to be a real gig? If you see someone that puts out a video per day that gets 100k views, what kind of cash does that relate to?

    Buying a car?

    Careful buying used cars. So I bought a truck about 3 years ago used. Great condition and got a great price on it (about ~5k less than anything I had seen). Checked the carfax and everything was clean. About a year into owning the car I noticed some rust on the drivers side. Not much, but...

    Buying a car?

    Not quite sure what I want to do. I own an 08 F-150. Just moved from the midwest to LA, so no need for it at all and it is just too goddamn big for out here. I have about 8-10k in equity and not sure what I want to do. I wanted to initially just buy a beater as I have to do street parking...

    DOTA 2

    How can anyone complain about that game? I'm as big as Na'vi fan as they come, and that was so epic. I couldn't ask for a better game. Backdooring, furion tps, base races, that is what dota is all about. That game was epic and by far the best game of dota I've ever seen.

    DOTA 2

    Just hard to play vs. Alliance due to how strong their offlane is. I think thats the key. Bulldog can destroy so many people if he gets his LD or Furion.

    DOTA 2

    I think Na'Vi fucked up Game 2 by not pushing. They had aegis luna, all cooldowns up, and they were pressuring high ground, but they backed. This gave Alch time to farm bkb and Bear Raddiance. After that it was gg.
