"Boston Consulting Group estimates that self-driving cars may account for a quarter of global auto sales by 2035."
If it isn't required that ALL cars are self driving in the US by 2035, I will be very pissed off. I moved to Seattle 7 years ago. Horrible drivers, just horrible.
I can tell you first hand. My now ex wife started in on a degree in programming. About 1/2 way she decided it wasn't for her in spite of getting all A's. I forced her to finish and she graduated with honors. But she couldn't find a job because people in interviews can tell it someone is passionate about programming and she isn't. Long story short, we are now divorced and she is very happy as a nurse.
I can tell you why there are so many jobs in tech for MI.
People forget about it but, in 2008 we all got laid off, like literally 30-40%. What did the laid off people do? We left the State. Now companies are thinking dam we needed those people.
I live in WA now. I can (and have) get a job offer in MI with 2 phone calls. I can't say its that easy in WA.
"beyond the IP geolocating and credit card billing address checks it already runs" What else can Netflix do? Anyone know? Also Reed seems to be implying Netflix is actually encouraging it. Does anyone know how?
I tired playing LOL for a while. I liked the game, but I couldn't stand the community. Every game I played featured someone who was crying that someone else took thier character or someone didn't know how to play. Anyone who thinks this is just players having an "off day" is delusional.
It's not just the weather. It's the lack of sun light period. Sure the sun stays up till 10pm in the summer. That doesn't at all make up for it going down at 3pm in the winter.

Actually this really is true. There is a general dislike of people from Cal. They blame people moving in from Cal for the outrageous cost of housing. And they think of people from Cal as being slackers.
It's kind of different out here. Back in Detroit for interviews, I was normally put in front of a computer and asked to write code. Pretty practical, and I did well.
For whatever reason, out here everyone loves the whiteboard, run though a binary tree on a whiteboard, wtf does that have to do what what you are actually going to be doing? Nothing, but Google, Amazon and MS all have you do it, so everyone else copies it. Hard to put you on the spot like that over the phone.
Also your timing isn't the best, right before X-mas holidays.
PS Why doesn't slashdot like paragraphs?
I did JSF for 5 years, went to an interview and they asked me what I thought of it. Instead of saying what I really thought, (I think its a POS) I answered in the political "Its not right for all situations".
This was before Oracle bought Sun. The guy then started telling me how great is was and if it wasn't super nifty for everything why did Sun recommend it, etc. My response, if it was so great, why didn't Sun use it on their own site? Everyone in the room laughed, and I didn't get the job, not that I wanted it after that.

I guess I'm still getting used to the whole "I came to this country 10 years ago, but I still drive like I live in XXX country"

And while I'm at it, nice mimicking Netflix's name and logo.

The Chinese are developing technology we have had since the 70's!
Depends on the part of the country. Seattle it's very, very rare to see a developer smoking. Raleigh, more common.
I found outsourcing to be very positive. Watch China mess it up and then they appreciate the work we do all the more.

My brother committed suicide and its was 2 weeks and tons of emails to get his Facebook page removed.
Yea just read. They aren't moving to Open Source, looks like they are moving to "anything but Microsoft" Big difference.

Prime example, and he isn't kidding. They just hate you up here.

Its rare we get female candidates. White female candidates, never.
Banks do the exact same crap which is why we are in this mess.
You always have to kiss their butts to do anything. 1/2 the time they are in the server room playing WOW.
Not that I'm saying paying off hackers is ok :)
That's the new line if you do anything that the DOJ doesn't want you to do. OMG wear your seatbelt or the terrorists win!

They don't seem to have much for Xbox and the android apps to say where stuff is in stock to not work with video games.
