FYI
- There is the 7.62% fed and fica that comes out of the employees pay check.
- The employer pays an additional 7.62% percent in addition to what comes out of the employees check.
- Total fed and fica is 15.3 percent.
Many here do not understand the cost of hiring an employee.
- Yes, you have the per hour pay rate.
- But you also have the fed and fica. The federal government charges an additional 7.62% of the wage paid, to the employer on top of the wages.
- And there is also, added Workers Comp. Ins. charges which are based on the number of employees and the size of the payroll.
- Equal Opportunity Employment laws.
- And there is health care, if you have 50 employees, the ACA requires you to provide health care. There are 27,000 pages of reg's in the ACA alone.
- Finally, there are numerous reports that are required by the feds, states, etc. when a business has employees that also add to the cost of choosing to hire. Making the choice to hire is a real balancing act for small businesses.
I think the basic formula is base pay rate plus 50%+ is a real estimated cost to the employer.
FYI I am not saying any of this is wrong, but there is a lot more cost for each employee than just the base pay rate. And in order to understand anything one should have all the facts.
This is cool stuff!
The post is ok the sub posters are a problem! the entire sub thread is nothing but a display by ignorant PC correct losers. There was no reason to bring any of this (what the bull leaves in the cow pasture) in. It is unrelated and just makes the 3 of you look bad.
Ignore this sub thread!
Just saying!
First of all, I stand by this belief
There is no chance the powers that be and the corporations could ever design a replacement.
But upon reflection, I see a flaw in my comment. A small group putting the basic pieces in place then letting the many do it again, create and innovate it could work,Who Knows;) There are some interesting ideas out there;) It is all about the approach;)
The first building blocks on today's internet were put in place by very few in academia who built the equipment and setup an initial fairly simple point to point connection.
Over time more very basic protocols and capabilities and academic users were added.
And then it was let loose, to the creativity, innovation of many and the chaotic growth happened which led to today's Internet and the Web.
There is no chance the powers that be and the corporations could ever design a replacement. The complexity and demands from stake holders could never lead to a successful project.
I am not so sure I would advise my grand kids to get a CS degree. I wonder if a trade skill like Electrician or Plumber might be a better choice with a better earning potential and future;)
They will all have CS skills since their Dad and I are both in the business anyway.
If it continues to move you tax it more! Once all activity stops, the tax rate is correct;)
A majority of all funds paid for transportation at all levels of government is just diverted to other stuff and has been for years. It is just the politicians and bureaucrats bonus slush fund. Last year they patched pot holes in front of my house and I got a special assessment;)
I am 61 and I just did a no sleep 24+ crashed at 6pm the next day and woke at 2300 hrs (so 5 hours of sleep) guess i should worry;) But then again i drink a pot of coffee a day;) lol
I have been writing computer programs for well, several decades. I use spaces for the fact that when I cut, paste, yada, yada everything stays. I often have multiple side cut scratch pads open.
It is just what I do, there is not one right way;)
TBH I see the editor as being much more important. I like an editor which is mostly/all keyboard based.
My 2 cents is I don't know what moron decided someone should ever have to take their hands off the keyboard and use a mouse and lose registration.
I hate mice, My first favorite editor was WordStar CPM/TurboDos using terminals. I could do everything from the keyboard. Over the years I have tried many editors. And I have settled on emacs (I know;) lol) the learning curve is huge, but in the end you can groom it to do everything, even "Column Blocks";)
The key to tech and the reason I enjoy it so much is one must adapt,change and learn constantly;)
If your not learning something new every 6 months, your out of business 6 months after that;)
I did not have children, did you or do you intend to? So your for schlong control, lol right like that works. Elites (No I am no way in that club) don't have many kids. others do. What do YOU propose we do about that, since your so concerned? Your subject not mine;)
If we wait and it is already law. We all know once we have lost it. Getting it back is harder.
I browsed your links and I understand. But you can not filter and block their complaints without blocking and slowing down fair use!
Look at the Bogus DMCA!!! Law firms sending hundreds of false take downs out and the targets have no ability to respond except a draconian useless system that does not allow any response to false take down orders.
If the government has their slimy fingers in it will be corrupt;) I think the gov just needs to butt out and let freedom flow.
The problem is complexity and inconsistent laws and regulations give lawyers a field day to do their damage.
Like I said earlier in another thread. The term Net Neutrality is a trap because most of the supporters don't have a clue that it means!!!
This is not "Net Neutrality" this is a ticket to traffic shaping and selective throttling of the packets anyway an ISP wants.
From the summary
"And throttling BitTorrent traffic across the board is also an option, as long as it's framed as reasonable network management. The worrying part is that ISPs themselves can decide what traffic or sites are unlawful. This could potentially lead to over blocking. Currently, there is no indication that any will, but the net neutrality rules do not preventing these companies from doing so."
I esp. loved this part , "there is no indication that any will" right this will never happen lol;) what a crock;) lol
I use BitTorrent alot and have only used it for open source downloads. ISOs for the most part.
True Net Neutrality means, any ISP that examines and routes packets based on their internal secret algorithms and business reasons is in violation of Common Carrier regulations under Title II, clear plain and simple!!
I agree, over all it is not all corrupt, there is some corruption for profit. And we must admit there is work to do. Where are the concepts of peer review when we have to deal with proprietary data, secret data, the actual modification(normalization?) of data where the original is deleted?
But then I am older and removed from current reality. But I do see issues. For profit journals, auto written articles, fakes, subscription journals, paywalls. I feel a good shot of open would be great;)
I used to buy many expensive tech books. But I have not purchased a book in years.
I also do not think it is based in education apps, the whole education method is obsolete. The information is grouped in subject matter sites.
In the tech world I just use google and type in my question and the answers are in sites like Stack Overflow, W3C Schools, etc.
The education model using the old style teaching ways is over, but those in education don't know it yet.
Most of what is taught in schools today are things that really are not needed and even the things related to the subject are out of date.
The current education system should stick to the RRR's and make sure students know how to learn and have the tools. Education through grade 12 is free in the US. Those who don't want to learn never will, those with the drive and interest can get all the specifics they need from the net. Providing they have the basics for learning.
As for Collage, the (i know this will go over badly) only reason to go to collage is to get credentials so you can work for someone else. In the future will it be more than that? Just wondering;)
Ok, me bad, went back to my old books and it was NightFall that I recalled. I just replaced all the suns setting every 2000 years for a Rogue Planet;) causing the chaos.

Facebook is great for family and grandkid news on private. Does anyone actually go to Facebook for any real news!
;)

Just my 2 cents
Yes I have my flame suit on lol
Billable client work is always at the top of the list ;) ;)
Things for yourself is always at the bottom
Being a programmer my question is, why isn't there a configuration parameter so the user can choose? Just my 2 cents ;)

If the human race does not move in to space WE will go extinct.
I did not have children, did you or do you intend to? So your for schlong control, lol right like that works. Elites (No I am no way in that club) don't have many kids. others do. What do YOU propose we do about that, since your so concerned? Your subject not mine ;)

What I wish to know is what they propose to do to stop this from proceeding. I hear a lot about, Oh My God, but not what to do? My 2 cents ;)
Yawn, When I am reading lines and lines of code it sure is not aloud ;) Just saying.
