Plus, worse they still do price increases even if you have a contract. They've increased by monthly bill by $5 twice. I could break my contract because of that, but since I got a subsidized phone it would cost me hundreds of dollars to do that so I'm stuck.
I've ordered several things with promised same day delivery in downtown Seattle for work, and none of made it even next day. The worst was a microwave that took seven days. I talked to the Uber driver that delivered it, and he said it had been in the back of his Jeep since the day we ordered it. My boss was so pissed off about people getting angry with him since we didn't have a microwave that we stopped buying from Amazon completely.
Now, we pay employees mileage to drive to local stores if you can buy locally. We're spending a lot more time and money because of Amazon's terrible local delivery.
No, but I've seen OC-768 equipment owned by AT&T in a datacenter which is huge, but still less than 40 Gbps. Still waiting on the answer as to how to get a 2 Tbps connection that was claimed. Even OC-3840, which I last I heard isn't being deployed yet, is still only 1/10 of the claimed speed.
What are you using for the physical layer? I call BS on your 2 Tbps claim. I manage 100 Mbps connections to Level 3, Wave, and Verizon, and we're paying over $1k per month each for a connection 20,000 slower than your ridiculous claim.
...end up with even more work and fewer people to do it?
The part I find fascinating about that is that the junior/recent college grads stick with jobs despite the long hours for the experience and the most experienced people stick with jobs because they know it's the same most everywhere else. I guess it's the devil you know. The guys in the middle with five to fifteen years experience are the ones that keep jumping ship to try to find somewhere better.
My company has about eighty people with less than three years experience and around twenty with more than twenty-five years of experience, like myself. I think there's only one person in the middle. Everyone else in that middle quit after we announced a two year death march. Well, they didn't call it that of course. They just said we were requiring scrum teams to add 50% to their velocity for the next 52 sprints.
The no vacation thing pisses me off. My entire adult life, I've only had one "real" vacation if you define it as a whole week off.
One reason there's such a lack of vacation time here in Seattle is that in Washington state, the law only requires less than 2/3 be paid out. In CA, we have to pay out 100%. That's why in CA we require employees to take PTO to get it off of the books, but in WA we basically don't allow vacation time. No company I've ever worked for let programmers take even a fifth (as a guess) of the time we earned.
I work with several devs making nearly that much, and they most certainly are burned out. When you work constant death marches with Seattle Hundreds (16 hours a day Mon-Thu and 12 hours a day Fri-Sun) that almost always happens. I work almost that much, and I moved over a year ago and still haven't even unpacked yet. High pay helps, but you still have a breaking point. There just aren't enough programmers to meet demand.
Correct. Reminds me of the complaints about the expert system used by courts in CA for sentencing that recommended longer sentences for blacks. It was based on actual data on recidivism rates. Is it racist when it is based on actual facts?
> run IE7 or whatever standard they never updated from.
Or worse, IE6 since they still use SharePoint and are stuck with 6.
For most features on our web site, we schedule more time to get the feature to work under MSIE 6 than we schedule to create the feature! MSIE is such a huge wasteful drain on development resources. I shouldn't complain since for me it means job security since I've been programming for IE since Microsoft first bought it from Spyglass.
I do think that HBO was trying to create a contrast between them and Dolores, Elsie, and Clementine. By including disgusting looking actresses like the ones that played Maeve Millay and Charlotte Hale, they created a contrast that made the other women look even better.
4k monitors really aren't that common. We have a Java app that customers run, and it simply doesn't work on 4k. The Java 8 runtime declared itself to be "DPI-aware" but didn't really supported it for AWT and Swing. Out of over a thousands customers using it (don't know how many individual users, but I would guess about 1,500), only one has a 4k monitor so far.
We recently in 2010 started hiring employees in Caracas, Venezuela. They are shockingly non-PC. Locally here in Seattle, we fired a male employee for wearing "dad" shorts too far above his knees. Later we had to let a woman go because she wore tank tops to work. We had a group of women threaten to quit and vandalize the office because we didn't fire tank top woman the first time they asked. In our VZ office, there's pictures of women in lingerie on the wall and a couple of the women have showed-up back from lunch in bikini tops. Completely different culture.
You didn't miss anything. The main character of STD was a gender-neutral somewhat more female looking it. It wasn't a likable character and started a war just because it was paranoid.
The captain Lorca was a much more interesting character (for reasons I won't say because they would be spoilers), but his role was deemphasized since he is a white male.
Calling them that is an insult to every victim of the Holocaust. I'm old enough to have known dozens of survivors, and you are insulting them with that hyperbole.
Also, why blame Trump when this has been happening for years? The picture from 2014 that came out recently showed children being separated from their parents and put into cages years before Trump was elected.
That's what the start-up I work for does. You don't want people to look for other jobs. I've lost many good candidates by taking more than a couple of days getting them an offer. You have to move fast. Google is so big and arrogant that they think this doesn't apply to them.

Software, but the company provides free oatmeal and microwave popcorn. People were upset since they went hungry.

Seattle has talked about banning them. That scares the hell out of me.
A primary concern is ensuring the science is strong enough to distinguish a normal transaction from a transaction masquerading as one.

Depends on the version. We have customers still using really old versions of SharePoint after upgrades to newer versions failed.
What is a computer?

Or maybe scientists and researchers should have some ethics to make sure their studies are valid and repeatable before pushing claims?

What is the company's association with Microsoft? With this type of security, there just has to be.
