Because you're not supposed to look for a job, you're supposed to get a job.
That's funny. The CA EDD form specifically asks if you're looking for a job, and, after getting a job, how much you made during a particular week.
You don't need an iPad to help with a job search -- you just need to stop being lazy!
You're wrong. When I was out of work for two years (2009-10), I had two dozen interviews, got a part-time job for six months and filed for chapter seven bankruptcy. When I got an iPhone to replace an older cellphone in 2014, syncing my LinkedIn contacts with my email contacts helped me get 60 interviews and three job offers at the same time in eight months of unemployment. I currently have 800+ contacts in LinkedIn.
You seem to think the recession started just before Obama took office, I'd argue that it actually started on 9/11.
The Dot Com Bust and the Great Recession are generally regarded by economists as separate events. The run up to the Dot Com Bust started before 9/11. The common denominator would be Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan.
Obama didn't help any, and quite frankly, didn't do anything useful.
If the Republicans haven't tied his hands, Obama could have gotten a stimulus bill that was two to three times larger than what got passed and impact the economy in a more meaningful way.
People are tired of 16 years of crappy economy after Reagan - Clinton's economy (20 years).
I was working at Accolade when it got bought up by Infogrames and later renamed itself Atari after acquiring the IP from Hasbro Interactive. Infogrames was on a buying spree in the run up to the dot com bust. Afterward, with too much debt on the books, they had to sell off the various acquisitions for pennies on the dollar. That's when management figured out they paid two to four times more than the actual value of each acquisition. Needless to say, Atari want back into bankruptcy and came out a very different company.
Funny how anemic growth under Obama hasn't been a problem for Democrats...
The Democrats weren't promising economic growth at 4%. At best, 2% to 3%. Even that might have been a stretch. The economy took 25 years to recover after the Great Depression. It's only been eight years since the Great Recession. A "normal" economy is years away.
Or is that why Hillary lost?
The expectation for a Hillary win was slow growth, low inflation and low interest rate environment. Since Trump has won, the expectation is for a high growth, high inflation and high interest rate environment. The problem with the Trump rally in the stock market is that the underlying economic data indicates slow growth. Expect a sharp stock market correction in the near future. We're also overdue for a recession.
Because you can do the same job better with a $99 Android tablet?
Does Android allow you to cross-reference your LinkedIn and email contacts? That little feature expanded my LinkedIn contacts from less than 100 to 800+ because I knew more recruiters in email than I did in LinkedIn. When I had a bout of unemployment and got an iPhone in 2014, I had 60 job interviews in eight months and had three job offers at the same time to pick from.
How do I know? The New York Times and The Washington Post will tell me that it is.
If you read yesterday's The Wall Street Journal, the 4% economic growth of the 1980's that Trump promised on the campaign trail is unlikely to happen again. That's a big problem for the Republicans.
When unemployment benefits got extended to 99 weeks because of the Great Recession, Republicans claimed that unemployed people were dropping taxpayer's money on iPads and iPhones at the Apple Store. Not sure why they were complaining about that. If you're unemployed, iPads and iPhones are great job search tools.
Won't be long before those Trump voters figured out that Trump lied about every campaign promise he ever made. Having Mexico pay for the wall? Nope. Locking up Hillary? Oh, hell no. Draining the swamp? Not with crony capitalists in key government positions.
I was working at a video game company when the legal department got this brilliant idea to have everyone in the testing department sign NDA's to protect company intellectual property. Except this NDA had an overly broad clause that required testers must list every past copyrights, trademarks and patents they own, any idea they came up during employment at work or at home belongs to the company, and any idea they come up after they leave the company must be reviewed by the legal department. No one signed the NDA, several had attorneys who made phone calls, and everyone threatened to quit. The HR person got the legal department to go with a generic NDA.
That's interesting, because most of the open source security community loves Lenovo laptops as it is easy to install custom, secure firmware.
I'm not sure if replacing the BIOS was an option in 2008. When I tested wireless 11ac cards at Cisco in 2013, I had to reflash Lenovo laptops with unlocked BIOSes to get the cards to work. I found those unlocked BIOSes in a pretty shady part of the Internet.
I wonder how much of this is a reaction to Snowden's leaks about NSA hacking. Seems like this sort of thing is designed specifically to deal with the kind of attacks they use, installing bugs in physical hardware or adding malware to low level firmware.
When I worked at Google in 2008, IT found Chinese backdoors in the firmware for Lenovo laptops. When I was at Google in 2011, all the Lenovo laptops got replaced with Apple laptops.
Is this what passes for an entertaining story to you?
What's entertaining is being told by fellow slashdotters that CS programs requires absolutely no knowledge of hardware — or programming. So Google is paying a CS graduate student $100K+ per year and he can't even turn on a workstation without a $40K+ help desk technician telling him how. Mind blowing.
Because I can't help but notice you've said essentially the same thing, verbatim, on other posts.
Then you never want to hear Guy Kawasaki give a speech. It's the same speech about developing a dog food app, the logistical problems of delivering dog food to consumers, and why no one else is rushing to deliver dog food from the Internet.
Care to tell us more boring things about your life?
When I worked the Google IT help desk, I had to walk a Stanford CS graduate through the process of turning on his own workstation because cubicle farms don't have someone standing around to turn on workstations as they do in the university computer labs.
Slashdot exist to keep me amused while I'm waiting for a script to finish at work. Today is an exception as Martin Luther King Day is a federal holiday and I'm not at work. I'm waiting to stop being hungover from the weekend so I can get on with my day.
So it seems your claims of this information bein published before in numerous tech posts and books was bullshit.
I'm talking about Google in general and not a specific security chip. That Google custom designing their own server platform is well known since the company was founded. A specific chip for security, artificial intelligence or machine learning doesn't surprise me at all.
So, basically, what you are saying is that open platforms are inherently less secure than closed platforms?
The design considerations are different. If you have numerous customers (cellphone providers), a cookie cutter design works better. If you have single customer (Google), a custom design works better.

Nah, Atari (nee Infogrames) in 2004 or so.

He does. Because it's his only story. Nothing else that has ever happened to him has been the least bit interesting, even in passing.
I know many stories. I'm getting ready to write my memoirs as a virtual ditch digger in Silicon Valley.

As I pointed out in another comment, I did not. If I was trolling, we would be talking politics.

Nope. Nowhere did I mentioned a certain illegitimate president-elect and my signature block is clearly marked as troll bait.
