It is possible to be a successful, growing, progressive, ethical, technically incompetent windows shop. This is probably the norm outside of the SV/Bay Area bubble.
What you should be comparing, then, is California's per-capita GDP to that of the entire country. It's about 12% higher than the country as a whole,
I didn't inject GDP in this, I was simply responding to someone else's simplistic analysis. But at 12% higher per capita GDP is actually underperforming given its taxes, cost structure, and resources.
Why would the tax rate negate the 12% output advantage. You seem to be mixing GDP per-capita and median household income or per-capita household income. California's median income is 3rd and 30% above the national average.
As of 2015 (according to wikipedia) California is ranked 10th per capita (not counting DC).
Which illustrates another problem: California's economy is volatile. The point is: California is far from the top.
What exactly is your definition of the top?
Other than New York, all of the states with higher numbers either are "petro-states" with low populations (Alaska, Dakota, etc) or quasi-city states (Massachusetts, etc).
Ah, so now you want to get into detailed analyses. Well, given the high cost of living in California, a lot of California's GDP isn't real output, it's just churning. That is, California's massive regulations and taxes may increase the GSP on paper, but they simply aren't productive. And wealth in California very unequally distributed, with a minority living in wealthy coastal enclaves while much of the rest of the state is urban slums and rural poverty.
In any case, you are entitled to your own opinions. If you come from Europe, India, or Mexico, I'm sure it's dazzling. And if you're a Prius-driving Facebook engineer with a $2M home in Mountain View, I'm sure it's just fine for you too. But if you think that "look people, if you tax like California you can be like California" is persuasive to people in the rest of the country, you're a fool.
It's true that the incomes are higher on the coasts, but the costs are also much lower in the interior. Rents 1.5-2 hours out from SF are roughly what I was paying back in Tallahassee.
I'm a Florida ex-pat living in SF for the last 7 years. If you are an engineer who isn't incompetent, and you want to maximize your income, you basically have to work here. 80-90% of the engineers I knew back at FSU are here for that reason regardless of their political ideology.
California was ranked 17th per capita in 2012 if you include DC as a state. As of 2015 (according to wikipedia) California is ranked 10th per capita (not counting DC). Other than New York, all of the states with higher numbers either are "petro-states" with low populations (Alaska, Dakota, etc) or quasi-city states (Massachusetts, etc).
This exact thing has happened to me at Amazon and Google interviews. At Amazon the interviewer was apparently one of those people who don't like to be corrected and ended the interview right there. Now I always reply, "The answer you are probably looking for involves a lookup table..."
Specifically, he worked with the group tasked with evaluating the feasibility of the project. They found it to be completely unrealistic. Reagan went ahead a decided to do it anyway and now it's a political thing. They tried everything, hydrofluoric-acid lasers mounted on 747s, lasers on satellites, intelligent pebbles. Didn't work.
The reality is MIRV, post-boost phase evasive maneuvers, and decoys are all fairly trivial to implement. Even now, these tests you see with 30-60% success rates assume the launch site and trajectory are known before hand.
Apparently there are more Logo "skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors." than Bash. I think there is something very wrong with their methodology.
Smog was a big problem in the 70s. Smog blocks out sunlight and causes cooling. Laws were passed and it was dealt with in the most places. Now we are talking about greenhouse gases which are a different thing. Please pay attention.
Eliminate the H1B program, increase the quota for skilled Greencard holders (EB1, EB3). Wage problem solved because workers can leave if they are paid poorly.
The hidden assumption here is that there is a finite amount of work to be done. More stuff with less work is a good thing. If all a higher minimum wage does is induce companies to produce more stuff with less work, then it too is a good thing.
Not sure what the deal is, but I seem to come into contact with a disproportionate number of Israeli tech companies claiming to be able to do absurdly impossible things like theoretically impossible compression, etc.

Every one of those countries except Sweden was invaded and bombed during WW2 and Norways GDP per-capita is way higher than the US.

x86 has had POPCNT since SSE 4.2.

IBM has been pushing it pretty hard. Just google IBM and swift.

The thing you can audit is the firmware. At least in theory.

How much money is Google spending on infrastructure improvements?
Judging from many of the /. comments, the process has already begun.

If you bother to actually follow the link it shows gcc producing faster code except in the artificial benchmarks he cherry-picked on page two.

Yep.

Just saying. Raising the min-wage won't fix the problem of being locked into a specific company.
The hidden assumption here is that there is a finite amount of work to be done. More stuff with less work is a good thing. If all a higher minimum wage does is induce companies to produce more stuff with less work, then it too is a good thing.
Finally, I was waiting for someone to bring it back.
I don't really think they are trying to scam me. I suspect these are Madoff style affinity frauds primarily targeted at other Jews.

I actually had Star Control II running on a 286.
Are you working with Yocto and the iMX6SL EVK? I need a complete replacement for mfgtool, right now it's killing my workflow.
So, you are telling me that the utilite2 is doing at least 100k per month?
I might be OK with Freescale if they didn't require you to use a windows only tool to flash the damn thing.
