What is always in demand, and well paid, is people who excel in more than just "programming" or "IT stuff". You can make insane amounts of money if you manage to combine legal with IT or financial auditing and IT.
Correct, too. I do know a fairly large selection of programming languages pretty well, but that never comes up in interviews either. It's basically the requirement. You wouldn't ask a truck driver if he can drive stick or a accountant whether he can calculate. You simply assume they can because it's a basic requirement for the job.
Overpaying someone 100% doesn't matter if that person is worth it. If a person costs me 10k a month and makes me 50, paying him 20k is STILL better than losing him.
1. There is no climate change. 2. There is no conclusive evidence that there really is any change. 3. There might be some change, but it's not man-made. 4. Ok, so we're partly responsible, but we can't change that quickly now, we'd have had to start earlier. 5. Ok, so we're fully responsible, but it's too late to do anything anyway, so why bother trying?
What is in extremely high demand is programmers with 20 years of experience in a technology that has been around for 5, no older than 19 and working for 20k a year.
And that demand will be high, forever.
Pay more and you get more. Pay this and what you get is code monkeys that couldn't find a better employer.
Oh yeah, privatization will fix it! Let's see, what would a private operator do... invest as little as necessary to keep people from switching to an alternative while charging as much as possible...
In other words, it would be like it is now. Maybe with higher ticket prices if they can get away with it.
I assume that a lot fewer hostile actors knew of this flaw before the press release and that the information is sufficient to at the very least spend resources on finding out how to exploit it. Yes. And I dare say with some confidence that this assumption is valid.
The thesis is rather that freezing development at a point so you can spend years to test your system makes the chips more expensive and lower in performance.
Design flaws happen. Computer hardware and software are by now SO complex that it is technically impossible to create a secure chip or system that is still affordable.
Of course I can create hardware that's secure. That takes time. To give you an idea, if I had to design hardware with maximum security in mind, you could maybe today buy a CPU akin to a P4 for no more than what an average BMW would cost you.
Care to inform me how I would be the winner if flaws in hardware become published with ZERO chance for their makers to deliver any kind of patch before malware creators get a chance to exploit them?

Banks have deep pockets...

Willingness to travel to customer location, own car required...
Please do.
I'll take the man when you're done hiring. He'll probably get cheaper that way, too.
Diversity, it's awesome. Especially if others have to do it.

I feel it has more of the dead parrot sketch.
The 5 stages of climate change denial.
1. There is no climate change.
2. There is no conclusive evidence that there really is any change.
3. There might be some change, but it's not man-made.
4. Ok, so we're partly responsible, but we can't change that quickly now, we'd have had to start earlier.
5. Ok, so we're fully responsible, but it's too late to do anything anyway, so why bother trying?

Being legally able and allowed to export to (country the US does not like) could offset that, easily.
Checked it. It's still where it belongs, but thanks for your concern.

Exports to (insert not-so-friendly-state-here) and a government wanting to have a convenient kill switch could be a reason.
And that wouldn't be a lot better if we learned of this flaw AFTER AMD had time to fix it?

The US. They learned that you can turn a nation that is hell bent against war with a single attack on their own soil to a nation that wants blood.
Worked twice so far.

It starts to feel a bit like Celebrity Big Brother. Every week someone else has to leave.
More kinky.
Hmm... Hard to decide which one of the assholes I wanna waterboard first.
Considering that the alternative would have been Hillary...
THANK YOU, OBAMA!
That's no longer a requirement for marriage.
No, but until you torture and kill my father, brother or child, I could at least be indifferent to you.
After you do, I want you dead. You. And your father, your brother and your child.
And in the free world, the pirates are the Navy?
