Having been to Bangalore I beg to differ. Also I would probably not live in the worst neighborhood of any big city but find one with good neighborhoods and amenities. If in the Bay area, avoid the Tenderloin.
I've consider the RV as my work has the same amenities as well as a large shopping center across the street. But my old lady said "no". It's also impracticable if you happen to play the Hammond Organ for fun.
So what they pay them is the local equivalent of minimum wage. Factor in cost of housing and commuting, as well as CA taxes, and they would probably be better off in the mid-west.
It's not that simple. Sure tech has an impact but there is also the contingent of people with money who live there for lifestyle and prestige e.g. "We spend our holidays in our little place by the Bay".
Cleveland, Pittsburg, Detroit, and Upstate NY are all good locations with easy access to urban centers such as Chicago, Boston, and NYC; and a host of good tech schools to recruit from such as MIT, Rochester, Rensselaer, and CMU. I've investigated moving east and have found some cities who are tech friendly, no longer are smokestack cities, have amenities and social life, no droughts, no earthquakes, no wildfires, and a cost of housing 50% less than where I currently live. And salaries are basically the same as I am currently making. I am really considering it. I would have no qualms moving if a decent job offer came along.
Services is dying. IBM, MS, Dell, etc. just about every big services company is cutting back. Anyway, a friend who works at HP said they are starting to lift the hire freeze for developers and his project has hired one and looking for another. So check their postings. Of course that is just a datum, so do some research if you are looking.
It also changed how people socialized. Instead of popping down to the corner store where you often met people from the neighborhood, you now have mega-marts. Instead of canning parties of in-season veggies, you have frozen foods. Small truck farms were driven out of business.
Also in the field of medicine. Some medicines are very temperature sensitive, insulin comes to mind. Easier blood storage. Easier organ storage and corpse storage.
It changed so many things besides just food storage and preparation.
But failure to do so results in starvation or death by food borne illness. It sounds like a good trade off to me. also note that food was more expensive due to lack of refrigeration, which is why it is the primary focus of what constitutes poverty in the US. It could also be argued that cheap food means obesity. If food was more expensive, less would be wasted and portions smaller.
Really? What is "fluff and filler"? English? Calculus? Programming languages? PE? Should we only have courses like "Freshman Java", "Second Semester Freshman Java", "SQL", "No SQL", "Spring" (offered in the Fall only), "How-to Scrum" (qualifies as a PE credit), "Git Hub", "Advanced Git Hub", "C#", Etc. ?
And I find it this funny "carry proper government-issued credentials". As soon as it starts it will either be cracked by a secret police agency or the service will be classified as a bank so that identification is required due to anti-terrorism laws. How naive are people? And as bad as governments are corporations can even be worse, creatively 'borrowing' your face to opt you in for services you do not want, destroying your credit rating, limiting you employment opportunities etc.

It's not *that* big.
I was going to point out the boring predictable reboots of reboots happening. It might as well be "Jaws 19" or "Star Trek 27 Rebooted".
I blame "The Matrix Rebooted".

Economics 101 only explains a few simple things.

I my area 30 days or severance is required.
"I too find it slightly odd the article doesn't even mention what the severance package benefits are. "
Another quality /. posting
I can't help you. Forcing to use the Devil's Tools would violate my Constitutional rights. (Message exchange brought to you by the USPS)
The one year "Rumspringen" is only a guideline after all, not a dictate :)
That is called handling things in a professional, reasonable, humane, and human manner. The way it should be.
They don't care because they don't have. The taxpayer will always bail them out. A great way to institutionalize incompetence.
And don't forget, backups run faster when directed to /dev/null
1) Change root password
2) make root password unmodifiable
3) Have root password expire at 23 months + 29 days.
So let's just legalize rape and murder while we are at it. After all, it happens anyway, right?
Just not their services divisions. I understand Oracle business services are also having problems.

Why not share you numbers? An efficient labor market cant operate without a good flow of information.

Guilty. It's hard to QA yourself at times.
