OK, I lied. I read the 40x51 par,t which is stupid, since normal wages are paid for vacation days for employees who are salaried, and may companies also pay them for people who are full time but paid hourly, based on an accrual schedule.
I wont bother to check all your math, since you blew it in the first line: At $10/hr she would be making $20,400 per year gross, not $35K.
I won't bother to read the rest of your posting, since you did not read mine.
I said "nearly $10/hour over minimum wage". Federal minimum wage is currently $7.25/hour. That places her at *nearly* $10 + $7.25/hour total, or *nearly * $17.25/hour. The actual amount if she took the job listed on Indeed.com would be $17/hour. Which is *nearly* $17.25/hour.
You will notice that $17/hour * 40 hours/week * 52 week/year is precisely the figure I quoted.
Where is your criticism of the sentence fragments to be found in the letter to which you provided a link? Is it possible that you are loath to crtitcize the grammar of someone whose views you endorse?
I stated that it was "better written", not "well written". If you want a point by point critique of either for their linguistic skills, I would, perhaps, be willing to provide you one -- provided you refrain from being accusatory and offensive.
If you are writing an essay in a way that conceivably, or to be honest: most likely, result in your being fired, and you are claiming credits as someone with an English Literature degree, you are, in fact, providing a writing example to potential employers.
The complaint essay had a number of themas, but the major ones were:
- Hey, I'm unhappy - Hey, I think I'm not being paid enough (the position is $17/hour to start is nearly $10/hour above federal minimum wage) - Hey, look at me! - Hey, the snacks are gone for people who work weekends - Hey, I've complained to my bosses bosses boss about other things in the past, because I do not respect my management chain - Hey, working at Yelp sucks! - Hey, I deserve to write, tweet, and so on for Yelp in less than a year after being hired - Hey, even though I write, tweet, and so on for free, and Yelp wouldn't have to pay me to be sure I'd continue doing so - Hey, I have an English Lit degree, so I'm qualified as a writer, as evidenced by this writing sample I'm currently presenting - Hey, I buy into a stupid stereotype called "Millennials"; although it's really a marketing bucket, I think it's a cultural group - Hey, I spend way too much on my apartment, because I apparently do not know how to use Google - Hey, I'm starving to death, even though my social media accounts have pictures and posts of me making, eating, and drinking expensive food
That's not a millennial, and it's not a mature adult, it's a spoiled child with a liberal arts degree. And that degree will generally never land you a job unless you are either willing to "Pay Dues", as the essay I referenced indicated its author did, or you pursue a graduate level degree. And perhaps even a graduate degree will not land you a job, in that particular subject: Geoffrey Chaucer knowledge is not high on the list of things I look for when considering job candidates.
So yeah: she's been pissing off management for a while, violating her employment agreement, and living above her means.
I'm surprised, nay, astonished!, that she lasted as long as she did(*)(**)(***).

I'd bet she has a roommate. I looked at living in SF and my rent would be in the ballpark of $3k/mo for a small piece of shit.
In her letter, she claims to commute from the East Bay. One of her issues is that she was stuck at a CVS pharmacy in the East Bay with not enough cash to make it into SF. If that's the case, her rent statement is completely absurd.
I read Talia's essay and thought it was very well written.
You, sir or madam, clearly do not have an English degree.
Her essay used sentence fragments, run on sentences, split infinitive, improper grammar, and a host of other follies which one would not expect of someone with a degree in English Literature.
I would post a link to her actual essay (in reality, nothing more than a blog posting on a rather unsurpassing blog platform company), but to do so would drive traffic to the site, and I cannot force myself to do that in good conscience.

Starting wages for her position at Yelp are nearly $10/hour over minimum wage. Assuming she worked a full 40 hour week, she was making a minimum of $35,360/year.
That yields, given California and federal tax rates:
$680.00 = Weekly Gross Pay $086.59 = Federal Withholding $042.16 = Social Security $009.86 = Medicare $017.79 = California $006.12 = SDI
$517.48 = Net Pay
$26,908.96/year gross income
Accept her "80% goes for rent" number as fact. That yields:
$21527.168 / year = $1793.93 / month
This is a quite high rent, and implies she's living alone, with no roommates. We'll get back to that.
This is low, but it's livable. She does not qualify for SNAP (food stamps), even after income deductions: she is not below 200% of the federal poverty level. In other words: 30% of people live on less than that.
Let's revisit the rent.
A ForRent.com search (not the best site, but representative) shows 6 apartments in Emeryville -- a nice area, near Berkeley, but across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, for less than $800/month. All of them near public transportation; 2 of them have pools.
That's without taking a roommate. So she could have halved her monthly rent, if she was willing to live somewhere *not actually in San Francisco*.
That's another $993.93/month in her pocket... = $229.36/week + $103.49/week = $332.85/week...which covers everything she complains about in her letter, plus adds some spending money. She'd have more if she split the rent on a more expensive apartment with a roommate.

Most of Yahoo's problems can be traced back to those male CEOs. Marissa has not fixed the problems, but she didn't cause them either.
While it was pretty stupid of the GP to blame Yahoo's current predicament on Marissa's ovaries, it's just as stupid to blame them on "the previous administration". Yahoo has some serious directional problems, and a lot of that has to do with board members selected by activist investors tugging them in all sorts of stupid directions, looking for a short tem up-tick in the stock price so they can sell out, and get their 12-15% ROI.
Firing these researchers is also a good step. Yahoo needs to focus on fixing their core products, not pie-in-the-sky long horizon research.
Actually, it was a pretty bad idea.
The absolutely most "pie-in-the-sky" thing that any researcher could be working on in the field of CS today is probably "how do we keep Yahoo from tanking completely".
[... list of personal hobby-horse bugs...] So what are these 15,000 employees doing all day, if none of them can be spared to fix a serious bug in a core product?
Mostly, they are handling Yahoo's small business web hosting business. Which is surprisingly huge, considering they outsource their domain registration to Melbourne IT, which is well known for being incredibly hard to pry domains away from (they believe they own your domain, rather than you owning your domain), and a Manilla call center doesn't really help.
If you get your domain with someone else (GoDaddy, etc.), then Yahoo's offerings for small business are relatively sane. I expect most of their day is spent doing administration and support.
Why is there no unit/regression testing to keep bugs like this from being deployed?
Regression testing generally does not do dick. It should be in your toolbox, but you'd probably be best advised to keep it under your allen wrenches, rather than keeping it on top of other more useful tools. The problem with regression testing is that it tests for problems you've already fixed to make sure that they do not come back. If you've spent a week tracking down a problem: trust me, you are unlikely to reintroduce the thing, even accidentally. It's a reactive testing methodology.
Unit testing is more useful, but not the best testing one can do. You can know that the units you are testing work in the way that you intended, but in terms of the overall scheme of things, there's "this unit works in isolation", and then there's "this unit plays well with others". Working in isolation is pretty meaningless, if using it is still impossible because of interface impedance mismatches.
Best is functional testing. This requires a lot of infrastructure, starting with design documents, and a lot of test infrastructure which is used to verify the design, and then verify the design as deployed. It's a lot of work. It's worthwhile work. Almost zero web companies do it, because "web sites are for churning": you fully expect to rewrite everything from scratch next week, and everyone involved knows for a fact that they are not building anything of lasting value to humanity, because the code they write will likely not survive next month's rewrite anyway.
Which comes down to the fact that no one builds cathedrals any more, because everyone is convinced that you can iterate to success, and being able to do that faster than anyone else is more important than building foundations on which you can successfully build walls, walls on which you can place trusses, trusses that you can place roofs on, or roofs that you can tile/shingle so they don't leak, etc..
So usually good organizations do unit testing, bad organizations do regressions testing, terrible organizations do "deployment testing".
And yeah, researchers are pretty good at building cathedrals, if they are allowed to draw up plans, and then follow those p

You mean like "treason" being applicable, when the only currently outstanding and ratified articles of war that the U.S. has are versus North Korea?
Otherwise, you know, we'd be going against Wall Street for their "treason" committed during the "War On Poverty" (another ongoing war on a concept that the U.S. has "declared").
That means that phone backups need to be encrypted with a pass phrase and biometric identifiers (including pins and pass codes) cannot be used as keys and need to be verified by a secure subsystem before performing decryption.
Hi!
My biometric identifier has been cracked! Due to the Error 53 fiasco, which pissed off unlicensed repair shops that don't have legal access to parts not pulled out of stolen iPhones bought off of eBay, the Error 53 thing has been disabled, and now, as long as you have an electronic copy of someone's fingerprint, you can pretty much unlock their device.
How do we change our fingerprints again?!?
Oh. We can't. So what you are actually saying is, "biometrics are a totally crappy mechanism for securing anything".
I can only wonder... if the Crusoe and Efficeon patents are being licensed from Intellectual Ventures (who ended up owning them), or if we are going to see another East Texas lawsuit over this.
The corporation has been charged but none of the people at the corporation have been charged.
Corporations can't go to jail. All they can do is pay fines or be dis-incorporated. Historically the fines charged tend to be minute - small fractions of the cost to make whole - and they are almost never dis-incorporated.
Actually, disincorporation is not an option, given that it's a California Company, and that's not a legal remedy (i.e. it would take a majority of shareholders voting to voluntarily dissolve). Delaware and Pennsylvania have similar restrictions (Pennsylvania requires both a majority and illegal activity by the directors, among other causes).
Not that the whole "make whole" argument is pretty bastardized for this case, since the amount of methane being leaked, if it goes on for a full year, is about the same amount of methane you'd get from 30,000 farting cows during that same year. You also get more methane out of a couple large landfills. So in the larger scheme of things, while the false color plume photo was kind of neat, it's really not that much in the way of an actual problem.
