No where does it say that companies think developers are more important than money.
The results state that the companies perceive the risk of not being able to find skills as higher than the risks of not being able to access capital.
This is especially true if you're a cash rich organisation.
In the current financial climate finding returns on your investments is hard. Interest rates are at historically low levels, bond returns are zero, and so that leaves higher risk investments to get returns. That effectively translates into money moving into the stock market and VC type investments which pushes money further and further up the risk tree making funding generally easy to find.

I currently own 2 merceders a C200 and an E220D. One of my best mates owns a Tesla S.
The Tesla is really nice. And goes incredibly quick. But for me it doesn't tick the right boxes for me to spend that amount of money on.
I totally get that it is personal taste, but I'm not a fan of the interior of the tesla. It doesn't feel as nice as my E. And while the tesla wieghs more than my E it doesn't have the same solid feel inside. Stupid example is the sound the doors make when you close them. Also, once you get over the geeky "thats so cool" response to the massive screen in the tesla I'm not a fan of it.
Acceleration isn't a thing for me. Cars have never really been about performance, I have motorcycles for that.
One thing that my mate owning a tesla has done is totally remove any range concern about owning an electric I might have had. Sure my E will do over 1000km on a tank. But his tesla has a full tank every morning. The 30km each way commute to the city just isn't a cause for concern. Also our state govt has built a network of charging stations along the primary highway network.
For me an electric car in the same category as the Mercedes E class would be hugely compelling.
Your Australian example is nothing to do with local generation. Ackland is an export coal mine that exports thermal coal via Abbot Point coal terminal.
There are no new coal fired power stations on the drawing board anywhere in australia currently. There are, however, a significant number of solar farms currently under construction.
The primary issue facing australian electrical generation is a total lack of bi-partisan policys. The NEG which was used as the excuse for the crazies in the liberal party to role Malcolm Turnbull was going to bring in some stability to generation policy. However the 'tards decided it was better to completely self destruct in a failed attempt to lurch to the right instead.
Net outcome is that the 10 years of electrical generation policy vacuum will continue. But now all those old power plants are 10 years closer to EOL.
What gives me the right? The fact that I ask your permission to submit your CV to a company and that I inform you that all contact details and referee details will be removed.
Why do I do this? Because employers can be dumb. They will sometimes call referees without getting permission. They will call candidates "out of band" to try negotiating and screw it up.
So feel free to try and sue me for doing something that you gave me permission for.
And I couldn't give less of a toss what the email address is.
My job is to match skillsets and personality to a role. Before sending a CV on to a company I strip contact details anyway. So the hiring company doesn't have that as a baseline. And if there is an email that I think will cost the person I advise them to create another one.
But the recommendation to change it never comes on the 2nd half of the email address. It's always the first. @aol, @hotmail, @rediffmail, who cares? Bigknockersgg@gmail.com got advised to use a different one because she was going for an HR role and the company would have to send the offer letter there.
Seriously who knows what setup people have behind the scenes anyway. An @aol might be in use simply because it is the email address that they have been giving people for the last 20 years. It could potentially all being forwards to a Gmail account anyway.
Australia has the largest uranium reserves in the world, about 30% of the worlds known reserves. However only exports uranium oxide and doesn't do any refining, so technically doesn't make the list as a uranium exporter.
That said 2016 was about 7000 tonnes of uranium ore. The really massive consideration is that that has the same thermal energy as about 140-170 million tonnes of high grade thermal coal.
With the bag and tag I was referring to major incident. In my jurisdiction that is any event where a weapon in drawn. The cameras are not treated that way for minor incidents. But minor incidents are generally not what we are concerned about.
Regarding malware into a video that would require a whole additional layer of compromise. You are talking a 2nd hack on top of the first. And frankly a malware that infects machines out of a standard mp4 or avi is way way scarier than this.
How do you remote hack a camera that is off? You wouldn't leave it running inside an evidence bag.....
I don't know about US rules but it is under the rules for body cameras in Queensland, Australia.
There are currently ~12k police officers in QLD and ~3k body cameras available. The rules in QLD are"Unless impractical, when an officer is carrying a BWC, the device is to be recording prior to and during the exercising of a police power under legislation; or applying a use of force."
The policy goes on to define that in more detail, but it boils down to "if you are interacting or likely to interact with the public in any way have it turned on"
The particular cameras they use are also running all the time. But they only begin storing once the officer presses record. What they do have is a 30 second buffer built in, so that it will store the 30s prior to the "start" click.
The cameras have seemed to work at calming everyone down. There has been less assaults on police, less complaints against police, and higher charge to guilty ratio.
One particularly interesting thing is that the body cams are not mandatory, but the officers are choosing to wear them. Especially when they are operating in the entertainment districts.
Officer is on duty. Something royally hits the fan and is captured on bodycam. Within a very short space of time, while still on the scene, the body cam is shut down and stored in an evidence bag. The providence of that evidence is documented and recorded.
From this point onwards the camera is powered off in a sealed tamper proof bag. It is then returned to the station and signed for. The bag is opened and the video is transferred to the storage system. Most likely the camera storage card is then also put into an evidence bag and sealed.
So where does the ability to hack these camera matter? You aren't editing the footage in any way during this window.
Just because a hack is possible doesn't mean there is a usage case for it.
Lets say you upload malware. Who cares. You manage to take out a camera or 2 before they get cleaned. meh.
I don't think they are interested in breaking the encryption. I think they want to know who is talking to whom.
The content of the messages themselves is less important than the people involved. They already have that data from phone providers and ISPs are required to record what sites / addresses people visit.
When it comes to a messaging platform that encrypts the content of the message what the govt will be aiming for the participant data.
An identified person of interest will have their communication network mapped. These people will then be monitored and, if they are identified as people of interest, monitored in turn or potentially converted into an intelligence source.
If you go single supplier you can get use their respective PaaS offerings easily. If you go multiprovider you end you either splitting your operations into one pile or the other to get paas or you end up going least common denom and end up shitty Iaas everywhere.
The choice, as others have said, will be aws or azure. Both allow an on-prem stack as well so you can control the physical as well as virtual.
Id really rather never touch an oracle db ever again if i can.
If I wanted 99.99999% reliability I sure as hell wouldn't be trying to do it myself. I would be going for straight up hosted solutions with Azure or AWS. I would use their location based hot redundant failover system and I would have warm failovers sitting with which ever provider wasn't my first choice.
Geographically redundant, multi carrier connectivity, in first class data centers with redundant hardware on site ready to go with secure facility access is insanely expensive.
Not even sure I would agree with the not user friendly. Something like Linux Mint is a lot more user friendly than Windows 10. I spend 95% of my desktop time on a linux machine, but still have to fire up windows for certain software packages.
Fusion360, Photoshop and a decent video editor. Those are why I find myself firing up windows. (not to mention games but I haven't played in ages anyway)
Given i dont get a discount for cash why should i care about 3% (your merchant pays way too much if they are paying 3%) going to the processing company.
And re data, what is the nefarious outcome i need to be concerned by? So google knows i go to my local coffee shop and spends $9? Or i have a spend of x per week at the supermarket. Im really not sure why i should care.
What are they going to do? Advertise to me? I am tax compliant, i dont have a random drug problem im trying to hide, political donations have to be declared anyway. So whats the angle i should be worried about?
And these issues happen very very rarely and, even when they do the impact in minimal.
9 million people without cash? Bullshit. Technically I am a NAB customer as I have a NAB cc and a NAB savings account. They are literally never used and exist purely as a backup. I cannot remember the last time I used them. We have a population of ~25 million people, and while NAB is a major bank there is no way in hell they are the primary bank for 9 million.
I also use android pay for 99% of my store transactions and only ever use my card when I exceed the phone pay limit, which seems to be somewhere around $450. I would be lucky to use cash for 1 transaction a fortnight.
Finally while you may have been unable to do EFTPOS transactions out of your savings accounts credit cards still have offline capabilities. So if you were one of the really really rare people, who only has a savings account and only banks with NAB then maybe you would have had an issue if you tried to do something during the brief outage. Everyone else would have just used the office CC transaction model.
At a guess because the well walls will fracture before the top pops off. Steam will push through the rock fracturing it as it goes and diverting the pressure to other areas.
I work in recruitment for engineers in the civil infrastructure space. There are plenty of millennials in that pool.
That % is going to very much depend on how the question is worded. I would argue that most people don't have a 2 year plan, let alone a 5 year plan. When I approach someone and try to tempt them with a new job I get about 10% of people that are genuinely interested in looking at a new role and I don't see much variation based on age range. But this is not them deciding to look for a new role, that is me trying to poach them.
My clients see turnover rates of about 12% - 15% per year, a turnover of over 20% per year would be a sign of significant internal culture issues. Obviously this is a self selecting set of high income high education worker and will not represent the entire market by any means.

BS. Japan does NOT use brown / lignite coal out of Australia. At all.
Brown coal is mined out of the latrobe valley and used in the power plants that are directly near it.
In fact Australia does not export brown coal at all, to anyone.
Japanese coal power plants run on black / bituminous coal mined primarily from the bowen basin region in queensland.
