Here's the headline: "Employers continue to come up with creative ways to pay engineers less." In my experience coders with pure experience are great, they get to work and can start writing really bad code. On the OTHER hand, coder fresh out of college ask lots of questions, take lots of notes, and then eventually start writing really bad code. There's no replacement for some one with some education AND experience. Take a fresh grad or a hacker with no STEM education and ask him/her to sit down and write a PID algorithm for "the" application right now. The grad will know what you're talking about but not know how to do it for this particular application, while the hacker will have no idea what you're talking at all or will know what you're talking about but by another name. The grad with experience will scope out this problem like a normal, capable engineer, and get it done. You do NOT learn that at "coding camp" or bot scripting. I'm seen it too many times.
These companies were hoping to save a few pennies with H1B visas. Now they're hoping to do it with "coding kiddies" with Python or Ruby or o0ne of these other non-hardware facing scripting languages.
Good luck with that.
Sure it does, or rather, the lack of net neutrality. You are aware that Trump's tool Arjit Pai, head of the FCC, repealed (that means DID AWAY WITH) the Obama's Admin's net neutrality rules earlier this year. If you're a fan as you say then you should have gotten upset when that clown Pai got on tv saying he was doing this (nullifying the neutrality rules.) Now its jeopardizing lives. Way to go Trump Admin.
I'm a little surprised as I completed a contract with Intel in Santa Clara just last Dec. doing market research for their IoT effort and they seemed to be all gung ho forward on it. The research was specifically for their Edison boards too.
Not so much any more. People are starting to pull away from office, which was the overriding factor for windows, to cloud-based stuff. Don't even use windows for my work machine.
Interesting to me since I have a 15" 2014 MacBook Pro (running windows, but it came with OSX installed) that has a little green Nvidia icon in the task bar.
Google has some of the world's TOP mathematicians on staff, I know, I have worked with some of them. (I don't work for google, but I work for a company that regularly has business with them.)
Create a series of honeypot servers containing the marketing material for your latest robotic grenade launchers
You don't even have to do that. Create a server with an open ssl port, covered by an kind of password you want. The Chinese will soon be there, recompiling your kernel to do all kinds of DNS hijinks.
I'm a mint user and I wasn't affected by it either. What do you think is going to happen, if your a mint user the page is going to reach out and grab your machine? It only affected one ISO and you would have had to down load it on the 20th. Then, you would have had to install the image. Simply being a mint user is meaningless.
PHP is insecure by design. I don't mean by conscious design, but by design non the less. How can you stay on top of a language that is so inconsistent that its laughable? The possibility of putting together insecure code without realizing it is very high with PHP.
I hope that happens, I would love to be able to play name brand games on Linux, Windows 10 isn't a habit, its a necessity for most games. A habit I'm loath to have, but there it is.
I don't know about Ubuntu but the flavors of Linux I use most frequently don't appear to be connecting to anything other than the usual network services during a simple audit of network activity I've conducted; just the usual dns queries, web requests, smtp connections, time updates, etc. And I've walled them off completely they still boot normally, so, whatever.
He doesn't have to. Hordes of engineers are constantly looking at open source, when some one finds such code the tech media is pretty good at reporting it. Strawman arguments do not become us...
I live in SF proper, and don't use a car to get around except in rare circumstances. HOWEVER, I have strong ties to San Jose, and using something like CalTrain to go to SJ from here can be a problem. First, taking the metro from my house to the 4th & King Caltrain station is a little painful; then, on a good day, taking cal on to SJ can take 1 1/2 hours. On good days that's a 2 1/2 hour trip. Now that the super bowl is happening we're expecting 2 hour trips from SF to SJ. I can hop on the 280 right from my house in Ingelside to Campbell (SJ) in usually under 40 minutes. Its a no-brainer.

Whether you censor because I'm holding a gun to your head or you're censoring because you're swallowing my kool-aid whole-sale; its censorship.
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
I wonder how many Chinese contractors Musk has on his design team?

I thought Fable was a popular game but apparently I was wrong...

Corporations are bound to obey the laws of the countries in which they operate.
Yes indeed. All freedom fighters check the local laws that are about to break.
mirrors; just search on "mint iso", and check the date and md5 hash.

Try any RTS game with your XBox controller, I dare you.
So you get the keyboard for the xbox. Maybe a third party joystick. So what?
The sale numbers are more than in the toilet.
Are they? I know they were low but I figured the numbers would pick up over time.

Speak for your self, offendi.
I think that was true way back when... now; obviously not.

Not even close to being true.
