You read the article? They go off of actual code the individual wrote rather than college. The idiots are the ones graduating college. These companies are just finding ways to get ahead the curve to get the cream of the crop.
I see nothing but good things for this. In the development world, real talent is discovered prior to students even entering college. I'm sure companies like Google have discovered this correlation and decided that it isn't worth putting their employees into debt before permitting them to get a job. On top of that, colleges have become a cartel, constantly raising prices because of the requirements many businesses have. Google can snipe capable developers early and stick it to these colleges that give their deans 500k yearly bonuses. I've always felt that a Github account is a far better indicator of skill and talent than a piece of paper anyway.
Is Facebook getting targetted because they don't pay off politicians? I would support breaking up Facebook, but there are a hell of a lot more important companies that need to be broken up. Comcast, anyone?
People are concerned with the Cambridge Analytica stuff, where an app scrapes essentially publically-made data of users, but browser extensions are far scarier. If granted the right permissions, they have free reign on scraping password data. I imagine far more extensions are doing it.
Also, when surveyed by your company on whether you're happy with your pay or not, why would you say you are? I want my company to think that I could leave on a dime and that they have to keep offering me more and more money to stay. Just seems logical.
As a developer who now works in the Microsoft stack, they are a godsend. Their Azure offerings reduce the boilerplate overhead that I would have previously had to deal with in our local datacenter. And their.NET framework extremely powerful, extensible, and easy to use. Developers asked for them to be open source, they did. Developers complained about Visual Studio being too bloated, they introduced VSCode (which right off the bat beat Sublime and Notepad++ as a powerful text editor).
Nothing. They'll just find other excuses to hate on Tesla. If you notice now, a lot of users here are spreading FUD that Tesla was able to "send out" an update within a week. You'll never be able to please these guys.
Your concern doesn't make a whole lot of sense. ALL car manufacturers run into problems - some minor, some big. Every new model year they tweak something about the car, test it at their proving ground, and then produce hundreds of thousands of those vehicles to ship out. How is it any different that Tesla was capable of creating a fix, testing it, and sending it out as an update? If there's a problem then they can roll it back, unlike other car manufacturers who have to issue recalls and, even then, many unsafhttps://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/05/30/1929208/consumer-reports-recommends-teslas-model-3-after-braking-fix#e vehicles would remain on the road.
No kidding. The ignorance in this community is astounding. I saw a lot of comments on the last article where people were arguing "You can't change breaking distance with an update! That makes no sense!" Stupid fucks never heard of regenerative breaking and that these cars are probably tuned around having the most amount of electrical return.
So many people in the community put such a high degree of confidence in their limited knowledge of topics they really don't know much about.
PUBG uses the Unreal Engine, which is owned and maintained by Epic. They could revoke their license on the platform and PUBG would be SOL. Perhaps they're looking for a huge payday before shutting the game down because they're not getting any new players.
I work a sizeable company. EVERY new employee (myself included) says they plan to leave at some point soon. It's the mindset of our new generation...everyone thinks they're more capable than they really are, and that their first job is merely a footstool to something greater. Then complacency sets in. They get new friends, maybe a girlfriend, realize they don't want to go through the struggle of finding not only another job but a "better" one, and then they get comfortable.
You all think you're so smart saying "Lol, I can copy/paste or screenshot it!". That's not the point, dummies! Say you want to send someone some info you don't want hanging around in their inbox. They get it, use the info to access...whatever...and then you get assured that they don't just hoard that email. If a user's email is compromised, it's just a house of cards as they can easily skim through and see all the services you're signed up for and reset passwords to those, including banking, credit cards, etc. It's advised to keep your inbox clean to prevent stuff like this from happening, at least now companies that send out the emails will have some control over this.
This is why Slashdot comment section is fucking aids. The comments here are "durr, I don't even use it, who cares?" while the comments on reddit actually add meaningful discussion. Believe it or not, you might be technologically inept and don't care about "new fangled tech" but there are plenty of people out there who use a smartwatch and like the technology.
I realize most people on Slashdot are old fogies who don't like new things, so it's expected that many here just won't understand the advantages of having a smart watch. For me, I loved having it...BUT, I sold out of the whole tech. Android Wear is extremely useful, especially for someone who works out, but it was clear by the battery life (most of which having only 1.5 days...2 days at the very best for a new device) that manufacturers wanted your watch to be unusable within a couple years. Fuck that. I'm not about to invest in "optional" tech that the company wants to milk you for. It's a convenience, but not one I'm willing to get slapped around for. When they start making them with more current processors and battery life that goes for a week, I might consider having one again, but until then they can stuff it. A shame when innovation is stifled by corporate greed.
If they can get it on ARM and ensure native applications function bug free, then they might be able to have a true "single device" usable as phone and desktop. Currently, the Windows 10 phones that can be docked offers a watered down version of Win10 that just feels like you're looking at a phone screen on a desktop monitor. I've been waiting for this for a while.
Right, it's painstakingly evident that these parliament bureaucrats have no clue how a system like Uber works and are attaching their preconceived notions of how a job should be. This is what happens when you let a bunch of technology illiterate fools in government dictate technology legislature.
Tesla/Elon Musk critics will use this to fuel their illogical hatred of the man and his brand. It's funny to see the logic hurdles many are already jumping over in this thread. If you all are so sure Tesla is going to fail, please short sell otherwise STFU.
My Nokia Lumia 820 with Win8 Phone OS lasted at least 5 days with moderate use. People may knock the operating system, but it ran flawlessly and performed extremely well.
Your bias is showing. The fact that you jump on the anti Elon bandwagon is so very telling. We're talking the Model 3 here, not Tesla as a whole, and furthermore not Elon.
I personally have zero issues with seniority-based job security as long as the person is performing at an acceptable level.
The issue here is that "acceptable level" is highly subjective depending on the company and the industry. If you're looking for job security, don't work for a volatile company that could succeed or fail in a matter of a few short years. Tesla is that company. Your "acceptable level" threshold is much higher there. For folks looking for job security and a lower acceptable level of work, look for a government job or work for a utility.
The people that surprise me more are people like yourself that seem to be so gung ho for Tesla to fail. Why? If you're so confident about the stock going into the shitter, then short sell it. That's right, you won't, because people like you have been spouting off the same thing year after year while Tesla's stock continues to rise. Get outta here with that Fox News bullshit...

Oh Slashdot, you'll never cease to surprise me with your irrational hatred of Tesla and Elon Musk.

Don't listen to AmiMoJo. They're finding FUD where there is none. That's the kind of perspective of someone you can never win over.

Fair enough, though I doubt you're making that as an informed statement. You likely haven't driven in one yourself.
I work a sizeable company. EVERY new employee (myself included) says they plan to leave at some point soon.

So by your information, the Tesla employee who was laid off was much more likely to be a terrible performer.
