Stop working for assholes. In 17 years I've had one employer try to do that to me. Every other one I've signed, including with major tech companies, explicitly state the opposite.
Only if you were stupid enough to sign a contract giving it to them. Not only are such contracts illegal in some states, but you don't have to sign them. Refuse. Watch them quickly get rid of it.
I'm not worried- I put the 200K in earnings and the default deduction into turbotax for feds and state. It still was less than a 33% tax burden. The federal was only a hair above 20%. Just do the math- the progressive rate doesn't allow it to get that high.
Pretty much everywhere not Manhattan in New York has shitty public transit. Brooklyn is ok, but Queens (the largest borough) it may as well not exist. But if you live in Manhattan its pretty good.
BCD was part of the C standard library since the 70s. And every modern language has a BigDecimal type equivalent. All of which can handle negative numbers. You're 40 years behind on your arguments.
You missed the point completely. Testing doesn't mean the code works, or is correct. It means that a predefined set of tests passed. There's still LOTS of room for the code to be very broken. Statements like "You see if code works by testing it" are dangerous- testing it doesn't mean it works. It just means it doesn't fail in obvious ways.
Eh, startups need specialists too. Even today not all software even has a network component. And if you're building a mobile app, in your first 3 or 4 programmers you're going to need someone who knows iOS, someone who knows Android, and the backend people. Now you do need to be *willing* to work on other things in slow times, but front end specialists are still hired by early stage startups.
For you I would suggest- stop. You're asking all the wrong questions. The question on whether to use an incubator or not is so far down the road its not even funny. That's step 12 or so. You're at step 1.
Find a problem. Figure out a solution. Market test and focus group to try and figure out if your idea for a solution actually is a solution. Then come up with a business plan- a fully detailed one. Make sure you think you can actually be profitable in a reasonable time. After that, write your MVP (here is where you may consider hiring or quitting your job, but it may not be time yet). Then, depending on the business plan you have, either start selling or go to investors.
So you both lie by 5K- you might be better off percentage wise, but the gap is still the same. And you're assuming everyone realizes they need to do this.
I don't know if this action is the right answer, but lying about your wage isn't sufficient (and could be used as grounds for an at fault firing later).
Nope. Never had anyone come in to an interview in a suit, not even on sales side. Like I said- maybe big finance or legal. My friends at hedge firms don't even wear suits.
17 year career. Never had a dress code. Never heard of a company other than IBM where there was one. Unless you're in a very specific financial, I'm just calling bullshit.
Now I don't know many people who wear hoodies- too warm in a heated office. Jeans or shorts and a tshirt are the norm.
I find the loudest, most disruptive thing in there are the waitresses themselves. Hard to concentrate on the screen when they're ducking in front of you and taking the order of the guy next to you.
You want an app that's supposed to protect your security online to be written by someone who hasn't studied or used the language but decided they could do well enough "within a day"? Yeah, no thanks.
*Then why did the US and UK pick different countries? *Why is this only for certain airlines, and not for all airlines in that airport? *Why is it only for certain airports, and not all airports in a given country (only one of two international airports in Morocco were mentioned. Its not that hard to get from Casablanca to Rabat).
Or we can take the obvious answer- its all bullshit, and you're a racist prick.
Let's assume this is a real threat And obviously it is doable, you could open up an ipod, rip out the guts, and put other stuff in its place. Why just 8 countries then? If its a real threat, its a global threat. Its not all that hard for someone to fly to another country first and then travel from an allowed airport. If this is a real threat, it should be from all airports. Otherwise its just games.
That is the GUI. A launcher completely replaces your homescreen and apps drawer, which is just an app. The default launcher has no special privlidges or permissions over a third party, so implementing it there is no more technically valuable than doing so in a 3rd party. So find a 3rd party you like and use it instead. That's one of the benefits of Android- swap out the parts you don't like.
I'm not arguing VM vs IM. IM is better for almost everything. But IM doesn't solve the problem of not being able to connect and have an ongoing conversation- the phone tag problem.
IM doesn't fix the phone tag problem. I IM you a message. 20 minutes later, you look at your IM app and respond. By then I'm out at lunch, I IM you back an hour later. Then you're in a meeting. Repeat. It solves it about as much as voicemail did.

You're lying. I made over 200k and didn't itemize this year. I paid less than 33 percent in state and federal traces.

But if everyone lies, doing so just keeps you at relative par- the problems with it still exist.
Testing only finds the problems you've already thought of. Peer review can (but is not assured to) find the problems and situations you haven't.

I'm pretty sure the number of programmers who know C is several orders of magnitude higher than Rust.
Ignoring the stench of racism in your comments:
*Then why did the US and UK pick different countries?
*Why is this only for certain airlines, and not for all airlines in that airport?

My app, FuckSlahdotAds is the fastest growing app. It has grown from 0 users to 1 in the last 3 seconds, an infinite% increase.
This is by far the lowest value, least use slashvertisement I've ever seen.

They may not have been great, but they were just good enough.
