If you want to vault your way up a career ladder, you go where the jobs are. I dropped out of college with half of a music degree, and the Bay area was great to work my way into gainful employment.
If venture capitalists want to reinforce this model with 25-35 mil units of investment into areas with massive costs of living, they must have some tangible proof that these areas are fertile grounds for return on investment.
The article says, "According to DDS Director Chris Lynch, "Bringing in the best talent, technology and processes from the private sector..."
Because the best are just waiting to volunteer to work without clear compensation.
I'd agree, except that this policy is probably in the EULA, and Android apps are insecure. I hope you dont need to do anything like banking on your cheap ass phone.
Yes, Apple should have less irritating policies. No, the alternatives arent worth doing business with.
I agree that additional surveillance is a bad idea, but, is the underlying idea here that the government is levying fines for all sorts of topics that shouldnt be laws?
If the legal code is the problem, lets fix that, not the symptom.
Anyone have a measure of the bandwidth required by Occulus apps?
Streaming video for games and porn should take a healthy jump when the next major release of these devices occurs.
Having worked in a couple companies with this kind of problem, I think the issue is that all too often dev groups dont directly build their prioritization in terms of every single item tied to a piece of revenue. Gambles or demands to land new business frequently beats investment in retaining customers or lowering operational costs.
I think at least two business realities compound this issue. One, salespeople on quotas set priorities in some dev groups, and they are inclined to overcommit and gamble. Two, "Lean startup" and "minimum viable product" language is great for early rounds of funding and tactical direction, but I have not yet worked in a company that had a clearly articulated line in the sand to evolve from MVP to "enterprise software". Sooner or later, customers want stable, fully featured software. Report generation is my personal albatross.
"Twitter might respond to reports that somebody is considering 'self-harm'"
Well, it seemed like a good idea to roll out our new policy all in one go, but make sure there wont be any legal liability problems if we fail or choose not to act.
Anyone want to bet the terms of service will protect Twitter if they report someone incorrectly to mental health professionals, and thus cause problems in that persons life?
Everything has its price point in the economy. How many would buy immortality if the cost were your first hundred years as an indentured servant paying it off?
I think your argument is flawed, as much as I want to agree with it.
Like almost everything else, people fall into some bell-curve shaped measurement for any number of traits. Amazon certainly isnt the only company selecting for drive, endurance, capability, and other factors out on one side of the bell curve of a population. At least in the startups I have been part of and seen (mostly in California), there is a clear division between the public relations effort of a company culture, and the fact that results are what matters.
You get to have a fun culture that is generous and helpful to its participants as long as the investors think that giving you more rope is going to make them more money. The moment you get past the wild optimism phase, the tone abruptly shifts.
Elder scrolls online is a Bethesda game. It is about 18 months after release, and there are still bugs that require you to log out and back in multiple times in a play session.
Fixed eventually is damning with faint praise.
Its not a bug, its a feature. Its just not a feature to the customer.
I think "minimum viable product" has its place in some technical industries, but sooner or later companies need to grow up and make polished enterprise software. You know, with qa, "feature complete" functionality , and good performance.
On one hand you get the cost of a breach from deliberate flaws in a product. On the other hand you get the revenue from operating in the UK, less the possible cost of developing a second product crippled with these backdoors for the UK region. Is it going to be worth doing business in the UK under these terms?
There is a level of complexity the average consumer doesnt want to deal with. They want their banking secure, their cars reliable, and to not incur a risk of jail for their daily affairs.
Government is not allowing criminal action (fraud, theft, harassment, etc) to be prosecuted in many cases. To my mind, an unenforced law might as well be taken off the books.
Nice way to limit an argument.
I'm allowed to take time off, and paid to do so. That doesnt change the fact that my team isnt staffed for the work to be done in my absence.
I can take time off if I am wiling to come back to a disaster to clean up. Most of the time, that is just not worth it.

And still never be able to afford a house, even in the war zone parts of Oakland.
I really like the idea. The San Fran salaries for CS are maybe 15-20% low, though.

There is a thin line between your insurance revoking coverage or raising your rates past what you can pay, and passing information to the government.
The question is, are they already selling it to insurance companies.
Start the countdown to an official Indian Android app store, and further to that store having horrible adware and malware issues.
Rules exist for a reason. How many of those administrators are employed due to past fraud attempts?
Does the purchase price come with some sort of bond or insurance if the system doesnt live up to the claim?

Shipping doesnt work?
Can you decide not to be a criminal?

... you mean like America? Use Shodan to look for SCADA devices. Not hard to find.

Looking for default ports used by the problem software probably isnt a bad start. https://docs.mongodb.org/v3.0/...
