There's nothing wrong with asking you to complete a programming or other technical exercise. This is a valid evaluation method. The same as you would have to make an investment to complete it, they would have to make an investment (and take a risk) to hire you. Fair is fair.
This is like embracing the rich challenge of shoveling out someone else's outhouse. It MIGHT be worth considering if these types of things are generally appreciated, but frequently (and to some extent deservedly) they are looked upon with scorn.
Wow. Very sad though unsurprising. It's rapidly becoming "go-time" with regards to no longer behaving like animals. The same goes for indiscriminate breeding since we have been in exponential growth for the last 600 years.
Myself, I would prefer people had the freedom (to destroy themselves) as opposed to being incarcerated into survival. (I guess for the incarceration to be enforced amicably (which practically never happens) would be the realized ideal of socialism.) No doubt, that's rough, though, when you must contemplate either emigrating or enduring the savagery.
If something is LEGITIMATELY classified, that is, is an actual matter of national security, then it should be punishable to publish it. Is that meaning so difficult to glean?
Of course, if the release of the thing that is classified exposes some wrong doing, then that should certainly be considered to off-set the punishment, perhaps entirely.
of your invested work and interests. Similar to the above, I don't think the type of degree would matter much in industry, though it might matter a great deal in academia (ie. for teaching). (At least at the junior college level. (Private) universities might have more leeway in this area. I'm not familiar with that.)
If it was me, I would not look so much at the degree as simply a credential for gaining admittance somewhere. I would look at it as documentation of my core intellectual values.
A. Find the cheapest quality program you can (determining quality itself a challenge in its own right and more elusive than prestige). B. Apply yourself diligently. Make debt avoidance your first priority.
More important than moving on, he needs to stand his ground, or the situation will just repeat at the next place. Just start going home earlier. Only accept reasonable, SHARED after hours responsibilities. (I will only ever do as much as my co-workers are doing. "What's right for the goose is right for the gander", etc.) Being a "good guy" and trying to accommodate your boss's ("asshole") is just about the slipperiest slope you're ever likely to find anywhere.
Dip ship MBA (types) are just about the closest work place equivalent of "jocks". The only thing that interests them are bullshit intimidation games like chicken. What's more, they are usually pretty seriously buggered themselves, have no guts, backbone, or substance, and are quick to roll over, "happily" even. Most importantly, even when you beat them, never lose your ability to sneer at the whole thing. You don't want to get sucked in. It's like a bottomless cesspool.
you to do stupid, mundane updates, do them, but subtly sneer on it. And when they make a bad call and ask you to do something contrary to the scheme, send it back with a question or recommendation. They can still want it, but at least you will have documented your uncertainty in case it needs to be re-worked later.
In a word, don't just mindlessly generate code to specification. And sure, keep an eye out for other prospects. If you've got good design instincts, another employer could pick you up, even if you're not current on their specific tools.
I had thought that the way to reclaim the elections for the people was to (a) remove private funding of campaigns and (b) put all the candidates' platforms on the internet. The part I hadn't seen yet was how to narrow the field enough to make this practical, which, of course, he hit upon with removing private funding of candidates ABOVE 10% popularity. I think this idea is 90%+ implementable as is.
The corporations will still have some control over who makes it to the 10% level, but it should become a much greater money sink to do so, substantially reducing their rate of return.
Great coverage of this beautiful topic/project! I must have missed it on the first pass (owing to some "work";P), but was glad to see my main questions covered of active stabilization and FAA approval.
Great job. Thanks!
Also, congrats for not pulling a "The Gods Must be Crazy" landing. I was pulling for you!:)
This is from the IEEE, not some sensationalist commercial news source. They are only concerned with summarizing the (nuclear) disaster course, not just general muck-raking and rabble rousing. Providing industrial analysis is one of their leading functions. Your otherwise valid sentiment is bleeding over onto them unjustly.

Wish I had some "+" mod points to give - excellent!!
... "number of * between anger management episodes"?
*Days, hours, minutes as appropriate.
Q: So what about all the cars today that come with built-in computers, navigation, internet capabilities, and cell phones?
...by the time the election rolls around. Lord, how embarrassing! What f- balls!

Yeah, especially after they achieve cold shutdown. Yeah, cold shutdown fusion, that would be news worthy.
Now industry has found a way to source its optimal preferred resource - adept programmers with no common sense.
