Companies need to start training people. You see training in every field except IT. I'm lucky and my company does a reasonable job of keeping its workforce trained but almost everywhere else all I hear from people is they get no training. You can't expect people to work 60-80 hours a week AND train themselves on upcoming or newer tech. It's absurd.
Expecting candidates to know everything is ridiculous. Hire the person with potential, then invest some time into training them and mentoring them. You'll have a better employee and a more loyal one. Right now it's like musical chairs, people go until they burn out in 6 months to a year then switch companies. The average employment term in SV is like 9-24 months if I remember right. Where I work it's closer to 10-15 years. Shocking the difference it makes.
Those aren't real ads. After running the ad and concluding that no candidates came forward, the company is free to hire an H1B to displace an American worker. They don't actually expect anyone to answer the ad, it's just in fulfillment of a legal requirement.
Very true in Silly-Con Valley but the rest of the US is a different story. Broaden your search and you'll find SV is the outlier, not the norm.
>If a researcher, tester, AV company sends some PoC code opening calc.exe, then this is not malware!
If a researcher, tester, AV company sends some PoC code opening calc.exe, then you can reasonably assume that malicious code based on the same exploit already exists and is probably further along.
I'm working on my OSCE and I can confirm this. The code is out there, people are using it. To what degree of success is the real question. I've heard people say they were very successful but they could be bloviating.
Web apps are high on the list yes but OWASP is very biased on that side of things. The #1 is, was and probably always will be phishing scams that exploit layer 8 (can't patch people).
The web is a mess for one major reason. HTTP is a stateless protocol, so everything we do with it is a sad hack. Cookies, session ID's all this crap we pile on to track people over a protocol that is not designed for tracking creates tons of issues. Web apps will continue to have these problems for a long time.
"Unfortunately, there are some of us who despise renting access to music via (yet another) never-ending subscription"
Dumb. Look dude, its no different than the radio. I pay the subscription to not hear the ads and the ability to change the song to whatever the fuck I want, whenever the fuck I want.
Cling to your CD's all you like but don't try to pull this high and mighty "I'm so fucking right and you're all so fucking wrong" bullshit.
"The wealthiest individual is worth less than 100 Billion."
Not true. Those lists exempt everyone in government and royalty. The Rothschild family for example is estimated to be worth well north of 2 trillion, but they stay under the radar because they've been given titles of nobility in Europe. It's also why you don't see dictators on the lists. The Gate's and Bezo's of the world are chump change compared to the large banking families
Now ask yourself how many people on Earth can get away with poking British royalty in the chest and telling them what to do. Even Hillary bent the knee for these people: http://www.trueactivist.com/hi...
Gates and Bezo's are impressive but they have no real power.
"Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes itâ(TM)s laws" - Amschel Rothchilds
That's just one family. There are 19 beneficiaries in the family now, each estimated individually to be worth over 200 billion each. That's just money they have immediate access too, they control a whole lot more than that.
I understand people taking issues with a corporation. Fine, I get that. But a corp will always be profit driven. The elite families that really control things are above profit at this point. They already have it all.
"We need a police force to prevent violence and loss of life, not cause it."
Police forces are reactionary by their very nature. What you want is a physical impossibility. They can't be there before it happens unless you want a police state where they are literally listening and watching to everything from the get go.
This is also the same argument that comes out when people talk about the failing schools. Blame the teachers! The parents that are raising the feral rats aren't at all to blame. This cop may or may not have done something wrong. I'll leave that to the courts to figure out. I do know however that the parents of the swatter did a piss fucking poor job. The swatter himself is degenerative fuck and deserves to lose all freedom for the rest of his life.
This isn't blockchain. I'm not going to defend WF but at the same time, there are plenty of instances in which a company might be larger than 2% GDP, especially companies that work directly with the government and/or multinational ones.
A company shouldn't be punished for being successful. If the valuation is legitimate who are you to strip them of what they earned?
If I decide you make too much, do I get to come to your house and take it from you? Just because?
Tons of variables here. Hard to explain it all and it's different in every state. Where I live I can go and pick out a new truck in 10 minutes then spend 6 hours at the dealership filling out forms and other crap. It's a complex process. The dealership assumes a lot of the responsibility for me, runs a lot of the paperwork with the state and financial institution.
There also is a presumption (false in most cases) that the dealership may be non partisan in the sales process and work for the customer. If you go to buy a Tesla, they sell only Tesla. Down the road I can hit a dealership that sells Toyota/Lexus and a few others and they should be treated equally and fairly. This is never the case in the real world but its the presumption and original intent.
Also keep in mind, all of these laws/rules etc were put in place before the internet was a thing. Now you can do a lot of stuff instantly that took a lot more time including registration etc. There is no technical reason why Tesla couldn't sell to everyone now, but 30 years ago it would have been near impossible just because of the complexities stated above.
Anyway, the only people looked down on more in the US than dealership sales critters are lawyers. I absolutely dread the process of buying a new truck. I'd rather kiss a toilet seat or visit the dentist. If Tesla makes this better and delivers a good product then so be it.
I worked at Apple. Jobs is the one that killed the iPod. They cut the team by a 3rd every year for 3 years before he died. All that was left when he passed a handful of support people.
Read that and try to rationally argue against it. The very first paragraph should shut your whining up but god forbid people actually educate themselves and understand what "personhood" actually means in legal terms.
FFS its a tired ass argument with zero merit and a shit ton of FUD behind it.
I hope VMWare doesnt die off. They still have the best product for locally hosted VM's. Their pricing is what sucks and thats easily fixable.
I also like Dell a lot lately. I just bought a Ryzen 7 1800X desktop from them an a decent 13 inch inspirion laptop. The prices are reasonable and the quality has been acceptable. If this merger/buyout thing improves them both then I'm all for it.
Musicians have always made their money on concerts. Thats one of the reasons The Grateful Dead never gave a shit about bootlegs. The draw and money was you paying to come see them. These days thats too much work. Musicians, and I use that term very generously, these days want to release an album and then go party and buy shit to show their bling.
Music just isn't what it used to be. I look at the top charts and I struggle to find one that even plays an instrument. I haven't been to a concert since the 90's because there just isn't anything I want to see, plus the prices have skyrocketed.
If Spotify and others raise rates I'll just cancel and go back to torrenting FLAC's. Fuck it. I'm literally trying to give these pukes money and all they want to do is fuck me harder and bitch about how they don't make enough. It's like going to out to eat and the server spending the entire time you're trying to eat whining about how they aren't paid enough. It would make you not want to come back and generally wouldn't make a rational person very sympathetic.
I've seen entire egress security postures removed just so a C level dbag with a chip on his shoulder can hold a skype for business meeting for 2 hours and be sure he isn't disrupted.
Because there is no fucking reason to go there other than bragging rights. Its a dead planet. The only time people migrate is when there is something to migrate for, be it a gold rush or self preservation. The reasons to go to Mars are............ Yeah
1000 distros sure, but you can completely ignore 990 of them. The other Of the remaining 10, probably 6 are copies of the major 4, Debian, RedHat, Gentoo, Arch.
People keep bringing up the many distro thing but honestly, no one really gives a shit. Those are hobbyist toys and they almost universally die out after a few years. In those few years a handful of people learn a lot and contribute to the community.
The BSD's are fine. I used them once upon a time. The problem is they are inflexible and all they want to do is emulate a long gone era of computing that just isn't functional today. Linux will at least adapt to peoples needs, BSD's will stand there and bitch about you being on their lawn.
Slashdot Mirror
A "privilege" that anyone who could afford a car, pass a test could enjoy. .
And? Its still a fucking privilege you whiny little bitch
Technically, driving on public roads is considered a privilege. States/cities can do as they like. Private roads is another matter.
