“Silicon Valley” returned Sunday night on HBO, and the season six premiere was a great start. As you all know, I was super pumped for the hit tech show to return for its final season after many years of great success.“Artificial Lack of Intelligence” was an outstanding. It got our storylines for the final run setup, and I couldn’t be more excited. (RELATED: The Trailer For ‘Westworld‘ Season 3 Has Been Released. It’s Absolutely Insane) Richard went in front of congress to discuss data security, Colin secretly has been compiling user data against the boss’ wishes, Gavin is now running a very small version of Hooli and things seem to be going well for the most part. In the final moments, we see Jared back at Erlich’s house as he takes a walk down memory lane. Overall, it was a great way to show how far Pied Piper has come since the show got underway several years ago.What happens from here? Well, it seems like Richard is going … [Read more...] about REVIEW: ‘Silicon Valley’ Season 6 Gets Off To A Strong Start With ‘Artificial Lack Of Intelligence’

Renting remains a cheaper option than buying along Colorado’s Front Range, study finds
Along much of the northern Front Range, renters will pay less per month if they keep renting rather than trying to buy a comparable home, according to an analysis from Meyers Research. The exception is if they can put 20% down on a property in metro Denver, Greeley and Colorado Springs using a 30-year mortgage with a rate that is 4.5% or lower. Then they can end the month with some extra cash. In Fort Collins and Boulder, however, they won’t come out ahead, even with 20% down. Owning will always require more cash out of pocket. “This is just talking about now vs. now,” said Ali Wolf, director of economic research at Meyers Research, who put the analysis together.RELATED: Good news for Denver tenants: Growth of rent slowing Rents could keep rising or the home could appreciate over time and build wealth for its owner, she said.

They don’t have enough savings to achieve 20% down, … [Read more...] about Renting remains a cheaper option than buying along Colorado’s Front Range, study finds
