I think most don't. It is probably only really big companies that bother checking. Of course, once you have experience, you can quit lying about the degree.
Think about it. If they decide they like you enough to not fire you, why would they even check your background? And if they don't like you they'll just fire you without the background check.
I know someone who studied Information Systems and dropped out. Guess what? On his linkedin page he claims to have a degree and he does work as a software engineer.
I think if you know the basics, lying on your resume about your degree is a strong option.
You mean they actually came out with better light bulbs? I thought government regulation of light bulbs was going to destroy the industry and cause untold damage! You'd have thunk!
Can you explain why you don't own a cell phone? Can you describe a hypothetical cell phone that you would be willing to own? Do you think such a phone will ever be created?
It is pretty scary that many people write their frontends in a technology made by these people. And they think that gives them extra security!
Adobe has crappy security. I've recently had the misfortune of having to work with Flash. I had to send files to the server from the client. Flash had some annoying restriction that you can't send a file to the server unless the user opened a dialog to pick a file. But guess what? It didn't matter because you can still send the files if you use don't use a convenience method. There stupid security measure wasted a half hour of my time. And it does nothing for security because I'm completely new to Flash and I still beat the measure.
Actually, the post was "Why you can't build your own smartphone", but that didn't fit.
It is impossible to build a smartphone without violating imaginary property laws. So no small, scrappy entrepreneur with a dream will ever be able to make one and sell it. The only people who can make smartphones are big-time players with the money to fight the lawsuits. The barrier to independent entrepreneurship to an impossible level.
If that is not your degree, but your responsibilities are the same as one with that degree, aren't you still an engineer? And what if you have a degree in Computer engineering? What if you have a Ph.D. in computer science and an undergraduate education in software engineering was covered in pursuit of your degree?
There are no words that condemn drone strikes strongly enough. It is ultimate evil, weak, and cowardly thing to do. The US kills non-combatants in drone strikes. It's justification is that any adult male is a combatant unless proven otherwise. Anyone who fails to oppose drone strikes is a terrorist.
And it goes without saying, that America stands for nothing if they try to keep people out on the basis of their political speech.
The article also says they sometimes fire bad managers over exit interviews. And let's be honest, that's the effect you want from exit interviews, right?
In any case, be a politician. Don't be TOO honest. But if your boss was a total dick and you know he's not going to help you in the future anyway, go ahead and tell on him.
Of course, some companies don't listen, but you can laugh at them when they go out of business so much more satisfyingly if you done told 'em.
Of course things like important scientific breakthroughs aren't going to happen in America anymore. It just isn't the country it used to be. It's a broke, collapsing empire, not the great nation it used to be.
I tend to think "simplicity" was part of the goal in not including those things. As you point out it was more simplicity for the compiler, but still simplicity for the developer flows out of it in this case.
"At will" is a complete fucking scam. It's a license to fire for reasons that are completely unfair and effectively a license to engage in illegal discrimination.
Granted young people from prestigious universities might be helpful doing research at US universities. But for inexperienced people to help the US companies, they need enough of them to depress wages.
You know what? You work for the government, you get a pension. And you don't have to deal with employment "at will" bullshit. And yes, you can make 6 figures working for the government, and yes you work on things that probably matter more than what you work on now.
So if he wants people with more impressive skills, there's no reason he can't get them. I mean it's an old, verbose language. I doubt it has many advanced features, arcane syntax not withstanding.
Have we made any advances in helicopter technology that is beyond Iran's reach? I understand the purpose of this article is to mock Iran, but what if they start copying nuclear weapons from that era? And how long will it take them to build equivalents to our modern helicopters?
Is the government really going to give him any kind of fair shake? They have already decided that he is a "cyber-terrorist." (A cyber-terrorist being one who uses a computer and commits no violence.)
If he plea-bargains, they'll screw him. Remember John Walker Lindh plea-bargained and he had to give up his right to admit that the government tortured him.
Will he get a fair trial or be found not guilty? Hell no. But seeing as that's the case he might as well waste the government's resources, so that they have fewer resources to expend against other cyber-activists.
The U.S. has over two million people in its prison system, a quarter of all the world's prisoners. If everyone would refuse the plea-bargain, the judicial system of the "freest country in the world" would collapse under it's own inability to prosecute all those people it seeks to imprison.

Why not? My resume has a degree that I actually possess.
I think most don't. It is probably only really big companies that bother checking. Of course, once you have experience, you can quit lying about the degree.
They'll either check when you start or not care.
Think about it. If they decide they like you enough to not fire you, why would they even check your background? And if they don't like you they'll just fire you without the background check.
Can you prove the new bulbs were coming out anyway? There was a pretty long stretch of time when there we're new light bulbs coming out.
It sounds like your belief in free markets is a matter of faith.

If foreigners invaded your country would you favor bowing down to them and allowing their conquest without a fight?
When foreigners invade your country, you have every right to kill them. You have to be hopelessly propagandized to fail to recognize this.

"The thing about maintaining a total vacuum is that one hole in your structure compromises the vacuum almost immediately"
Did anyone really need to read the article to know that that was the problem?

I've heard they don't. At the very least it doesn't expand out when they acquire other companies and their employees.
