In small town USA? I think it was today here on/. there was an article about the entire town being up in arms against the cancer-causing, photosynthesis-stopping solar panels. The guy got not one call but thousands of calls and death threats from people. Never underestimate the stupid following sheepishly in the media frenzy a Fox News anchor can whip up.
If you have a somewhat successful business where you can afford trucks and employees, you could easily rake in 1M or more in a year. If your business goes bust or you have to invest into a media campaign or change your phone numbers or even a major decline in customers due to someone else's major fuck-up (if not plain illegal actions, trading with those nations in the US is strictly forbidden), 1M is not too little to ask.
The problem in cars is the vibration. It's even evident on circuit board manufacturing for cars. Bolts and screws all have the problem that they vibrate lose, epoxy the same thing (it cracks), slots and epoxy also come apart with any type of warping (eg. impact) while bolts and screws can easily sheer through metal in those situations (they act as a really dull knife). Welding and soldering are the only methods that results in an equal or higher strength than doing it in one piece.
A metal that you can't weld or solder is unusable for most manufacturing processes that require the end product to sustain any type of force or impact. Even after the fact, how are you going to repair a car you can't use a torch on (rusty engine bolt results in the entire car becoming unstable).
Even the later 80's ones (they're all the same general box-shape) had that problem. Power steering eventually solved that in later models. Modern VW's even have steering correction so you can jump over a bump and your car will go where you are steering (not where your wheels are turning).
Alarm companies have to verify an alarm with the home owner. So homeowner setting off the alarm is not sent out to the cops. Too sensitive detectors happens only once, the second and further times, the city will give you rising fines or even revoke your permit until you fix it.
Cops will respond to alarms because they are easy, they are 'verified' better than your average 911 call wild goose chase and they bring in revenue (either in fines from not getting a permit or fines from repeat alarms).
The OP states the police will only respond if there is video. If that were a policy, not only would it be published but it would also open the police department up to a number of 'neglect of duty' lawsuits.
You should have the Axis security suite or find one of their partners to install it for you, then some company might take you seriously. Once you get that contract, you can specify anything you want and pay accordingly. I've done IPSec lines for some of their customers, but you could be paying $10k/year easily to maintain a few camera recordings which are totally useless in actual protection or prosecution (unless the cops get extremely lucky with an extremely dumb criminal, they won't be looking for that one person or even recognize them when they get arrested on another charge).
But for home or small business, this is laughable, your camera's won't do anything, they will barely be able to see any silhouettes especially at night (unless you buy a $1000 camera, the 100' IR LED cameras all wash out the image due to reflection within the housing, and yes, I have tried a number of them). Your city doesn't require any camera for monitoring by police. You do need a permit and so does your alarm company. Perhaps your alarm company told you that but they are just trying to up sell you their camera system. https://www.houstonburglaralar...
You can do a DIY alarm system with a cheap alarm monitoring service for ~$500 (Honeywell Vista with a few sensors and remotes) and $5-15/month for the monitoring service (wired or wireless). You could hook up ZoneMinder into your Honeywell as well with an RPi or whatever, but make sure you understand the false alarm fees your city levies. Some city codes also require you to hook up at least one wired CO and smoke detector if you do get a system so you should calculate all that in, other codes require wired CO and smoke detectors on every level during renovations.
You don't need to unionize to strike. Any sort of computer development is not something that should be unionized, it's not a generic job that anyone can replace you in (or it shouldn't be). If you can generalize (unionize means standard wages for everyone, same job responsibilities and descriptions for everyone, same hours, same vacations) then your job can be done by anyone and you're not a developer.
H1B applications are freely available for your review here: h1bdata.info (historic data also available directly from the government): Software Developer in NYC, Median Salary $85,000. In Las Vegas, NV it is $65,000.
Texas Instruments planned to lay off 1,700 workers between FY2012 and FY2014 Texas Instruments Incorporated has filed 1247 labor condition applications for H1B visa and 583 labor certifications for green card from fiscal year 2011 to 2014.
The wages for the H1B Analog Design Engineers was $90-100,000. The average wage for that job in Dallas, TX was $152,000 when the layoffs began, it went down to $120,000 after that.
I build systems that reside in data closets and centers. With modern clustering and virtualization systems you don't need to worry too much about local redundancy. Local redundancy (dual power, network, storage, everything) is expensive for the off chance something might happen.
Then you still need a backup elsewhere for the time actual physics intervenes (a lightning bolt or other natural disaster to the building). And usually double everything doesn't help much with user errors, load issues, DDoS, in fact setting up redundancy incorrectly or across systems that aren't built for it is often the cause of the issue (packets out of order due to multipathing).
So setting up redundancy by hosting 3 or 4 cheap units across different cheap data centers gives you more global resiliency than paying the same or more to 1 or 2 ultra iso certified bunkers.
Sure if you actually need local resilience (eg local lan file server) you're still wanting dual power supplies and bonded networks to dual sas controllers. But those things are slowly going away (for now) to make place for slightly more trendy (and more expensive) cloud services.
From what I've read, this computer can't "solve" the traveling salesman problem at all (not faster, not slower, simply not at all). It is not an actual (hypothesized) universal quantum processor and thus your workloads are limited and so are your problem sets. It allows you to do quantum annealing for (128?) qubits and that's pretty much it.
You know that's what people thought about Hitler after the Beer Hall Putsch right? Charlie Chaplin sure made fun of Hitler/Nazi's much like SNL or any other comedy source does of Trump/Fox News.
I'm sure that's what people thought of Hitler after the Beer Hall Putsch. The problem is that Trump is a demagogue much like Hitler, you get the crowds with a message of action - remove the Jews (Muslims) and Zigeuners (Mexicans) and make Germany (America) great again, arbeit macht frei (I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created).
And Hitler didn't come to power in one election, the first election he won (1933 if I remember correctly only gave him ~40% of the votes) was only to cause fights within the government and make things worse. A terrorist attack (Reichstagbrand) gave him the legal power to arrest anyone he wanted (similar to France's presidents appeal to extend emergency power 2015-2016) culminating in his rise to dictatorship in 1934.
Does the above sound familiar? Both parties have no intention of making any real changes or democratizing the world, they are only going to make things worse so the appeal for a dictatorship becomes ever better. Terrorist attacks only allow them to grab more power, eventually they'll overthrow the democratic parts of the government and arrest anyone that opposes them.
Anyone with interest is already building or can build something like it. Putting it on Kickstarter only gives those that want to trade time for money access to the same kit they could've gotten otherwise.
Are you yelling at people selling beakers and bunsenburners?
We could replace them with people that care about the constitution or draft a constitution that guarantees freedom for all (not just rich white people as the founding states intended) including the freedom of unencumbered communication.
We could limit the size, spending and other powers of the federal government, make the presidency a committee of 12 people and the judiciary non-political. Allow 'the people' to have standing constitutional armies that is well armed and can defend itself against the federal army.
You know that 'buying renewable energy' from your energy provider doesn't actually insure your energy coming from the sun/wind. It insures that your energy company buys futures against any renewable energy producer, the energy still comes from coal/nuclear/hydro (whatever is actually connected on the grid when you use it and closest to you), but the price they pay on the market for said energy is at the cost of the renewable energy and is traded towards renewable energy companies, most of which are shell companies that use the profits to invest against other stocks while buying "their" energy at the lowest cost at some other point in time.
The recent trend is away from doing stuff on the database side. Just give the client the raw data and let them calculate against it. a) Your systems are less loaded b) Data presentation client side is WAY more flexible.
I've done master-master replication since 5.0 with the free versions (before they were taken over by Oracle) and it has been documented since, not sure about before that period but I'm fairly sure it was possible to do in the late 4 versions as well.
PostgreSQL does (AFAIK) not have any native replication. It requires closed-source, commercial (expensive) plugins to do a decent job at replication, most of the open source attempts have so far (I looked a few years ago) failed or only done partial implements (statement or trigger based only, no multi-master, no failover, no load balancing).
From what I've read real replication which MariaDB/MSSQL/Oracle has won't work in the foreseeable future due to specific implementation issues within pgSQL and philosophical issues against it within the core development teams.
uhoh.wav, the year 2000 called, they want their ICQ back.
Once sent you can't unsend it on the Internet. As soon as a client refuses to implement the feature, or worse, implements a feature that highlights, tracks and uploads these, you're done for. Look at Exchange un-sending in e-mail.
a) You should be renewing your SSL certificates more frequently anyway to prevent nation-states from guessing your private key by analysis of your weaker SSL protocols. b) You automate it, it costs you $100 once and you have a lifetime of SSL certificates across your entire server farm if need be. I think hosting providers may even opt to insert it right into your base images. c) Commercial entities and green bars really don't provide any extra security. The entire green bar is a marketing scam, it doesn't prove anything as has been proven by people being able to obtain illicit ones.
The only people I remember doing that were the.fr domain name requests. You had to get a physical letter signed by a police officer in France to prove you were a person or get a copy of your physical business permit. Then you had to fax it or mail it in after it went through several other manual steps.
Even if it does work, there is probably a host of other solutions that do the same thing. They might have re-invented the GFCI, AFCI or an automatic fuse or a number of other things. There is nothing an end-device (which seems to be what they're targeting given the list of manufacturers) can do to prevent wiring problems/electric fires within a home (those are caused by bad wiring jobs, wire nuts hanging in a wall, shared neutral/ground wires, a mouse chewing through a cable etc). The end-devices are typically outfitted with fuses and overheating protection plus the wires are too thin and the circuits too fragile to cause much of a problem with the DC component.

85k in NYC? Unless you get a very junior dev that sticks around for 3 months. The average offer I got a few years ago for a dev position was 120k.
