You "hear" this from "every top company" because its the same lies and bullshit they've been peddling for years trying to score more H-1B visas.
Keep thinking that if you want to delude yourself and keep yourself sheepishly happy. I on the other hand know people who make those hiring decisions and they want anyone who is qualified. No engineers means they make $0. An engineers means they make $300k more. You think they give a rats ass if that engineers earns $100k or 120k? Especially after that $40k sign on bonus and $40k recruiter fees. Plus the $50k that's benefits. Top companies compete for H-1Bs, I doubt they're exactly underpaid.
My company in New York is constantly losing employees and potential hires to those Silicon Valley companies. We just can't compete with the sheer amount of money and sign on bonuses those companies are giving out.
Top grads can send their resumes out to hundreds of firms in the Valley and not even receive so much as the courtesy of a response from the employers. Hardly an industry looking for "enough qualified people".
No, they'll get back hundreds of responses just like my friends did and do. As I've already said just because no one wants to hire you doesn't mean they don't want to hire other people. Hell, even my idiot friends from good schools have managed to get jobs at top companies.
Just look at the UC Berkeley employment surveys -- they can't even verify more than 40% of their graduating classes employed. Hardly a sign of any significant demand for qualified individuals, and UCB is already quite selective in just who they let into their school.
You're a moron, you know that right? a) Probably 70+% of UC Berkeley graduates have a humanities degree which has nothing to do with the issue we're discussing. b) Most graduates don't keep in contact with their school, I sure as hell didn't.
Stop dropping the context of the conversation (experienced engineer hurt by H1B and age discrimination).
That wasn't the context of the post I replied to, maybe if you got better reading comprehension skills you'd be able to find jobs more easily. The flow and context of a conversation changes quickly, if you're so stuck in your ways you can't handle even that then maybe that's another reason why older workers are avoided.
So next time read before going off on a pointless rant that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
Silicon Valley is stuffed with such workers, I know many many of them. They tend not to go out to nightlife. And if they do go they go to San Francisco. If you're looking anywhere else then it's only the shit college crowd you'll find. Too busy racing their expensive cars at the track among other things.
Or are you assuming that just because they're not a WASP they can't be an American citizen?
That's what I hear from every top company, they just can't get enough qualified people.
Of course, they want just that, qualified people. If you just got into it for the money and barely rank as average then don't bother.
And probably sucks up five times the power that the iphone GPU does. Amazing what you can do when you don't have to deal with trying to get 7 hours of run time out of a 5watt-hour battery.
If you already know it there isn't any obligation for the teacher to go out of there way and make special lessons for you. You're just one less student they have to worry about.
I may have worded it badly, point being that they can't (ie: a strongly worded shouldn't) force a student to take those classes if the student is too advanced for them. That's what I meant by "allow." Either teach at the students level or let the student learn on their own. Had a nice letter from the state department of education and all.
As the person I replied to noted, doing so is not at all difficult. You can have the student take classes at the local High School or the local Community College, it's very common for such things to exist.
Frankly, I didn't want them to try teaching me at that point, I just wanted them to leave me the fuck alone when it came to math. Which was amazingly hard despite what you'd think, school administrators are petty creatures of habit.
Universities should offer jump ahead forms, where you still pay full price for the class but you can take the class material in a couple of weeks or months versus a full semester. I could have completed 3 years worth of material in a semester with something like that and taken my senior year as a typical student...
Some universities have this or other ways to skip the boring classes. That's one thing I looked for when choosing my college, just how flexible were they. Interestingly enough, some top universities seemed very inflexible and some more local school came off as very flexible.
In the end I went to a very good university and they had no hard pre-reqs for virtually all classes (my department also didn't impose any of it's own and was very flexible, why I chose it). You just took the class, they expected you to know if you could handle it or not. On top of that they had various accelerated classes for students who were too advanced for the usual classes but not advanced enough to just skip ahead. Worked out decently well.
We need to stop catering to the bottom 10% and make a system that works for each group.
We do but no one really cares. No Child Left Behind is what people want, gag. Last time the average person cared was in the 80s due to the Red Scare; the soviets were better than us in math and science, panic. That lasted long enough to get some half-cocked underfunded systems in place and the public's attention drifted before those were even fully implemented.
It used to also be a lot more common asfaik for students to skip grades but at some point it was decided doing so would hurt their "social growth" or some such.
There's various private group that are trying to fill in the gaps, the Davidson Institute being one, but they are going for the top of the top.
Did you miss the "learned calculus" bit in there? I was lucky since my parents knew their stuff so it didn't impact me too much in the long run.
But why would a student who has only learned that math is boring/tedious/annoying ever want to seek out even more math? I know many students who reacted like that and that's just sad. You can't assume that just because a kid is smart they are mature or omniscient or even have above average motivation.
you are insane, i like math, but math homework is the most mind numbingly boring and tedious thing in existence. it is just monotonous repeating the same style of problem over and over...isn't this why they invented computers?
Thus why we made it into a game/contest. You think mmorpgs are any less mindnumbingly boring and tedious than math homework?
you needed a better school then.
I went to a very good middle school, magnet and all that fancy stuff. All that meant was that the administrators had different but even more strict bins they put students into. Can't be too gifted or it complicates their little student filing system and they just can't have that. I'm pretty certain at this point that the better the public school the more bureaucratic the school administrators are.
Of course, now that No Child Left Behind and standardized testing is king they might want to keep smart kids back just so they raise the test scores.
i was sent to the high school for math while attending the middle school, and then they paid the tuition for me to go to a nearby university while in high school. and there were about 4 other high school students in my university courses, from other nearby towns. i didn't go to any fancy private school either, i was just in our states public school system.
So did I although the school wasn't at all happy to do so. Apparently, where I was, a school has to provide education at your level or find/allow means to do so. Of course, proving that you are above what they can provide is where the hiccup is. Apparently, passing the Calculus AP exam in 6th grade makes a case that is really hard for anyone to argue against. That and the school really didn't want the press coverage they'd get if they didn't stop shoving their shitty math classes down my throat.
There is also the interests of the child. A child into technology will take more attention and learn faster.
You've never taken a water downed school class in anything, have you? Trust me, nothing else saps interest and attention faster.
I'm very good at math, a prodigy you might say. In elementary school math was only interesting because I got into a contest with a friend on who could finish all the year's homework the fastest. I think it took us two weeks and he was merely good at math. In middle school the class was so mindnumingly boring that I learned calculus just so they could never subject me to another such class. I asked the school, btw, to place me in a more advance class and they basically told me to fuck off.
Granted, they'll probably just give all the intelligent kids massive amounts of ADD drugs so they don't "act out" is those boring classes. Problem solved as far as the school and parents care.
The entire point behind using a hosting provider and not just running your own server is for them to deal with shit like that.
No it's not. It's like saying it's a car rental companies fault if someone steals a rented car and crashes into a school bus. All a hosting provider does is provide the hosting environment, after that it's up to the customer to deal with things unless they pay for some specific service.
Apparently you can't read so I'll make my wording simple. Maybe you got confused as to what I was saying and what the person I replied to was saying. I didn't give shit about 20 years in the future, they did.
So your argument is incoherent. In 20 years everything you did in college won't matter much anymore. All that studying and work and late lab sessions? Those won't matter in 20 years either. By your argument college and everything you do there is worthless. So why study so hard? Why not just party all the time?
See, the issue, now? No? In a nutshell, what you did in 19 years will matter in 20 years. And in 19 years what you did in 18 years will matter. The chain going all the way back to college. The benefits build up. One good job leads to another better job.
So what you do in college matters once you graduate. And that impact flows down through your life.
I don't really care what my college friends do in 20 years, I'll have new contacts by then as you said yourself. What I learned in college and what GPA I got won't matter either. However, soon after I graduate? That's a different matter. That is what my reply was about, that those contacts are worthwhile soon after you graduate.
And as a college student, you are incredibly interchangeable and ultimately not very useful. Almost the only people you successfully 'network' with are the other college students you go out drinking with, and as far as contacts go, they're just as useless as you.
If you think college networking is drinking and nothing but drinking then you're an idiot, plain and simple. Then again I suppose you don't have any friends so you wouldn't know how you interact with friends and how you make more friends.
You must have gone to a shitty school, at mine a lot of students already had a giant list of contacts. It was called their family. You also interact with students older than you so by the time you graduate they already have decent jobs.
Now, it's possible that one of your drinking buddies is going to be successful 10-15 years down the road, but you're going to have plenty of opportunity to network usefully between now and then, when you have real experience and expertise you can market yourself with, instead of "that guy who was really good at beer pong back in college."
Most of my friends were successful straight out of college either working at good companies, starting their own companies and so on. If your friends bum around for 15 years then you may need better friends. That's especially true for a start up, someone may be an integral member of the company before they even graduate. My boss and his coworkers made good mint as a result of that at his last company, sold for a few hundred million, most of them were college friends or connections.
As for larger companies, they look a lot more favorably at a resume submitted by most anyone inside the company than some random crap sent by some random guy that goes through fifty HR filters.
And as I said already, I don't aim to make friends or contacts with idiots.
The only useful contacts you'll gain at university are professors and work related contacts from internships and jobs, and those are the contacts you'll gain from standing out from all of your 'networking' peers by working hard.
No, you gain those contacts by attending various quasi-social functions sponsored by the school. If all you do is study and work then you don't have time for things like that either. Plus, if all you do is work and study you don't have time to do thing like research for a professor either.
As others have said, all my SATA connectors lock into place. That you bought yours from Jose at the corner for 5 cents a piece is not a problem with SATA but with you.
Then the US would be waiting with a tariff for what it couldn't seize within the US's borders. You don't play by the rules in good faith, your goods don't enter the US.
So how much do you want taxes raised so the US can track and verify the pedigree of every product coming into it? Are companies manufacturing in China bad? What about a Chinese company that makes a product no one else does? What about manufacturing in Germany? What about Spain which has lower costs than Germany to a German company? Poland, an upstanding EU member?
And in fifty years the US would be a shit hole separated from the global economy and running on technology decades behind everyone else.
Look what happened to American car manufacturers when they had no competition. The Japanese manufactured cars in the US and still killed those companies. That's what your holy protectionism leads to.
With as much unemployed as there are out there for US citizens, I'd wager a lot of them would assist.
Then why do they all shop at Walmart? Why do none of them buy locally? Why do they all decide that cheaper is worth more than any other measure?
Finally, not every company could afford to go overseas or be able to move in time. The smaller ones would be easy to track while the larger ones would have issues with things they cannot move easily - if at all.
The US is not the center of the world, many other countries have companies perfectly capable of shipping goods into the US.
You seriously think that'd achieve anything? All it'd do is that foreign companies would offshore production themselves and then import their products into the US at a fifth the price US companies charge.
Or are you proposing going full out protectionist and banning all foreign imports and products and devices and technology?
A proper built home will last 100+ years, feck it the one I'm in now lasted about 400 years before it needed to be rebuilt, 6 weeks or humans doing the work is not a big deal, its just that shoddy construction is a big problem or at least was until the recession hit. Now people want things to last and are more careful with resources.
And all the other shoddy houses built in the last 400 years have long since burned down, collapsed or been torn down.
That's like saying that since all the people born in the 1800s are now over 100, all the people back then used to live to 100.
I buy an 128gb SSD to speed things up, I have 200gb worth of Steam games.
Without symlinks: I am sad.
With symlinks: I copy rarely played games to my regular hard drive, symlink to them from the steam directory (on the ssd). Everything works transparently.
Wow, you windows fanboys seriously lack reasoning or reading skills don't you.
You made a claim that a GUI is superior to a CLI in terms of performance on low speed connections. Furthermore the OP made the claim that a CLI is utterly unable to rival the GUI in this area.
I simply pointed out that the claim is utter BS, a CLI would be even faster on such a connection since (via ssh on linux for example) it trivially provides the exact same advantages as RDP/VNC except even better.
I never said that a GUI didn't have other advantages or that one should move everything to a CLI. That is you projecting your own insecurities and fanboy zealotry onto others.
I hope we are now clear on exactly all the ways in which you have failed in this argument.
That has absolutely nothing to do with having a GUI or not. In other words you utterly fail to understand the point of what you replied to. Congrats.
Command line tools let you do everything on the server even more easily than a GUI, your whole argument is worthless.
In fact, your GUI will be an order of magnitude slower on that limited connection than my ssh command line. After all, you need to have all the data sent back and forth that describes the GUI. I just need to have a few kb worth of text sent back and forth.
In other words it's you who utterly missed the point.
Tech is not an unskilled job, just because you can find a warm body to fill a spot doesn't mean they can do the job. And decent tech workers are still in high demand with a lot of hiring going on.

One thing college teaches you is how to write coherent easy to comprehend statements. In most positions that's considered a vital skill to have.

In fact, your GUI will be an order of magnitude slower on that limited connection than my ssh command line. After all, you need to have all the data sent back and forth that describes the GUI. I just need to have a few kb worth of text sent back and forth.
In other words it's you who utterly missed the point.
Tech is not an unskilled job, just because you can find a warm body to fill a spot doesn't mean they can do the job. And decent tech workers are still in high demand with a lot of hiring going on.
