I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. I don't use Edge, but I do use Windows 10. The reasons I use chrome are simple: 1) Your browser history, bookmarks, passwords, etc. get saved. (and I don't care about the privacy implications), 2) Add-on support wasn't in Edge for the longest time (no ad-block, etc.) 3) Edge STILL isn't 100% standards compliant (took 2 weeks to work around an Edge/IE issue while working on a project recently) 4) Edge is just ugly in general, and doesn't seem to work all that well.
Yep, for the financial industry (which I don't work in FYI because the hours suck balls) it's up to a quarter million dollars for a competent C++ developer in NYC. I've seen 5 different job listings for $250,000-$275,000 + stock this year.
Not true. There are many jobs out there that pay a 6 figure salary and allow you to work remotely. I get hit with such offers all the time. I work from home the majority of the time myself, get paid a nice (6 figure) salary, and live in a cheap area (TN).
Not only that, but in healthcare you are practically required to do so. Having foreign developers touch medical data in 2016 is considered to be a violation of HIPAA. You can attempt to get around the rules, but these days regulators want to see that all code was written by people that can be held accountable if things go wrong. If your app is breached and they find out you used a company in India, you could be in serious trouble.
Not to mention that most indians program like they are baking a cake. Same recipe every time. Actual development is more like painting a piece of art without knowing what you are going to paint first...while having your superiors determine what that piece of art will look like.
I've been in this field since I was old enough to work professionally. One thing I see is a ton of wannabe foreign programmers that read a book and pretend to know everything about programming. A job I had 12 years ago had a director of IT that learned classic ASP and T-SQL on his plane ride over for a job he had just gotten hired for!
Most of what you learn as a developer has nothing to do with language or syntax and most foreigners that only work consulting jobs for the US don't realize that. They tend to take directions literally, without the discretion that we in the U.S. tend to have/do. They don't converse, debate, and collaborate. Note that I've both managed and watched people manage outsourced teams. It always ends up in failure. My favorite example is your very own bank. You can always tell those who use foreign outsourced companies vs those who use American talent. The foreign sites are slow, constantly break, and are difficult to use.
Note that I'm not attempting to say the U.S. is somehow better, it's just that the developers here actually have to have something more than 2 hours of experience reading a book. We build systems for a living. We don't just follow the instruction manual. If people that worked for those outsourcing companies did the same, they'd catch up...but of course they'd want more money.
I was a fan of the Macbook Pro and I've owned several models. I will not be buying this one. They basically took everything that was great about the Macbook Pro and threw it away.
I use a major CellCo (Verizon) as my provider. I use every social network known to man. I pay around $5/gb a month. I don't have issues with whatever you are trying to avoid. BTW what ARE you trying to avoid? Also, I guarantee there is a difference in quality. CellCo providers have HD/Advanced voice. No VOIP provider in the world offers this (almost every US CellCo limits this to themselves or other CellCos), and even if they did, your VPN connection likely would not meet the bandwidth requirements required to allow this. Also, my voice calls do not waste my data.
Hi there! I have to speak up here because I've lived primarily in TN my entire life (despite doing time in a number of other states, like CA, NJ, PA, etc). The Nashville area is one of the fastest growing areas in the US right now, and that particular area is full of very large (and very expensive) houses owned by very rich people thanks to an amazing music, healthcare, and tech driven economy. It doesn't surprise me that the lawsuit is worth 30 million. The people here can afford such a suit, and they can justify it. Normally I would have sympathy for Amazon, but I know from experience just how low their bar is set when it comes to third party sellers. Amazon should clean house and come up with more stringent guidelines.
Not that I'm actually motivated enough to check on this...but I'm willing to bet that Steam blocks these same countries. I don't mind giving EA flack where flack is due, but the law is the law. This has nothing to do with EA and more to do with the US government. If Valve isn't adhering to the law, they are at risk of being sanctioned, just like EA would be with origin. That being said, EA is still a sack of shit.
I beg to differ. Age has nothing to do with it. If you are smart, you've evolved. I'm not THAT old (mid-late 30s), but I came from an era where we did everything ourselves (I've been a developer since I was old enough to read/write...and professionally I've been doing it since 16). That being said, I use a language/framework that relies on others to do pretty much all the work (Ruby on Rails), why? My time is too valuable to be reinventing the wheel unless needed. That being said, I CAN build it myself if I need to...even dropping to C/C++ if i have to...I just try to avoid it. For example, I'm working on something completely original I plan on submitting to the Rails team at some point once it has matured. Mostly original code, but nothing like it exists for Rails (or Ruby), so I had to build something from scratch. I also have a Phoenix/Elixir in my sights as the next big thing.
Could be even higher if Linux in it's current form didn't exist. Seriously. The day I can do a clean install on my laptop, have it recognize all my hardware, work the way it's supposed to...and upgrade to the nex release, Linux might stand a chance...until then it will be a wannabe. OH and current rumors actually put Windows 10 WSL ahead of Linux marketshare wise...
1/3rd of the price? Even in my market (which competes with AT&T Uverse, DirectTV, Dish, and Google Fiber) that's a stretch at best if you even bothered to review channel/network listings.
I remember when they were dyndns.org. I remember when they provided great dynamic DNS services for free or super cheap. Over time they became more and more commercialized, then more and more enterprised focused. They lost my business a long time ago. Nowadays you can have low TTLs with most service providers, and even if you can't, many ISPs have semi-static IPs for their residential and commercial accounts. There are also more rapid ttl based dyndns offerings including Google Domains.
From a company perspective, nobody I work with uses Dyn...though apparently some pretty big names do. Many businesses I work with use Google domains, or some other large provider. One site I managed used GoDaddy, and oddly enough they were down. I wonder if GoDaddy uses Dyn on the backend?
Of course. Everyone accuses yelp of manipulating reviews...but nobody has actual evidence of it. I have just as much hatred of bullshit companies as the next guy, but manipulating reviews would actually run afoul of federal law. A certain other company I shall not name actually DID pull the bullshit mentioned above...and they had to settle a very expensive lawsuit behind closed doors.
I tend to chase the latest trending technologies...they pay more and are more fun. Also, anyone who has been following Oracle lately knows they are circling the drain. There is a huge code base written in Java, but i get the feeling it'll be the next Cobol. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing will depend on how the market plays out.
Have no complaints really. Even my third party start menu (Start10) loads faster and with less issue. Loving WSL. Typically only use my Windows machine for gaming, but now i'm able to develop on it.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, EXPLOIT MY BOOTLOADER, MAKE HER VULNERABLE TO ATTACK! For my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 remains invulnerable to any attack outside simple root base exploits. Oh script kiddy gods, I BEG YOU (no sarcasm).
Very few people (except developers) will have WSL running on their machines. WSL is isolated from Win32 except via FS access. Just based on it's current state, WSL is practically impossible to exploit thansk to it's limitations. Alex Ionescu is (was?) a ReactOS 'developer'. He has a beef against Microsoft. Disclaimer, in a past life, I was a ReactOS core developer for a certain period of time in the late 90s to early 2000s.
a) does it matter when your life is in danger?
b) You really have no idea what you are talking about. First, for plans that have an out of network option, they almost always have a Maximum Out of Pocket that you will pay (yes, for out of network, look at your insurance plan). Some states even have laws that a patient that is out of network be treated as 'in network' for the purposes of an emergency. Even if they didn't have an out of network option or MOOP, you can either file chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy. Even if you weren't eligible for some odd reason, you can usually give them $10/mo until you are and then file. Anyone that spends 'the rest of their life' paying any civil debt is a moron.
Different strokes for different folks. I bought boxes of diapers for 40% off. Typically buy the same brand for 15% below Amazon's normal price...but with yesterday's discount i had to order.

No, but there are fabulous dell monitors with this ability. Check out this one for example: http://amzn.to/2cQkbAW
If your whole business revolves around a single review that an anonymous person left on a public website...you should rethink life.
Of course. Everyone accuses yelp of manipulating reviews...but nobody has actual evidence of it.
