  1. Re: software developer tends not to be a stressfu on Software Developer Tops List of U.S. News & World Report's Annual Best Jobs Rankings (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Yet as you said, people still expect 3-7 in new stuff and 10-15 in old stuff. So you end up with people who have to lie to you to be given the chance to prove themselves.

    It's not to prove themselves, it's a sleazy management tactic used to squeeze employees out of salaries on par with the actual job. If someone feels they're being "given a chance" they are less likely to haggle.

  2. This is the worst pseudo-science since Trump shut down the EPA for generating most of it.

    Shouldn't they be raising Internet rates instead, since Internet service is needed by cord-cutters too?

    Stop giving them ideas, you cunt. This is either a move designed expressly to push people to streaming media instead of cable or they are legitimately retarded, in the former case I don't care, in the latter case posts like yours could be extremely detrimental.

    You mean it's exactly like I said? That thermal cycling is a failing which impacts longevity? Whodathunkit, now fuck off, AC.

    Depends on the definitions used. IEEE and ITU differ quite a bit.

    Firstly, Bluetooth isn't microwave, it's UHF. Secondly, Bluetooth is about as precise as a candle. "Precise" in this context means "aimed such that the peak of the wave hits a handful of atoms, or even a single atom through the interference of multiple waves," not "modulated" (though it also has to be modulated, that's stupid simple to do.) What is hard to control with microwaves is a precise amplitude, precise frequency, and precise phase modulation at the same time - all of which are required to use microwave-stimulated magnetic hysteresis changes to materials in preparation for write operations. Honestly curious how you had the self-esteem to speak so incompetently though, guess that's probably why you decided to post as an AC.

    Jet turbines do degrade over time when they undergo thermal cycling, that's the leading cause of failure, actually.

    Thermal cycling is known to weaken materials (not good for things spinning at a high speed for long periods of time,) while microwave emission is generally hard to control in a cheap and precise way.

    Quantum effects take place in every single cell of the body and have a curious additional effect of entanglement between particles growing in range with increasing particle count and interactions in a highly ordered system like within a cell. Hell, it was only a decade and a half ago we realized chloroplasts utilized quantum entanglement to harvest light so efficiently, the structure of heme is virtually identical and is able to act as a trigger to eject Oxygen from Iron (a pretty strong bond, otherwise.) To think nerve cells, arguably the most electrically charged portions of an organism, aren't utilizing quantum effects in their computations is the real absurdity here. There's not one single effect we've encountered in studies of physics which doesn't already exist in nature, it just took us figuring out there was an effect to know what to look for.
