In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules... If you are making love, it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously Do not waste time blocking your ears Do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible, but do not panic... Use your wheels, it is what they are for Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons, which should be left if possible, in a shelter Do not attempt to use your own limbs If no wheels are available, metal, not organic, limbs should be employed whenever practical... Remember, in the case of Sonic Attack, Survival does mean every man for himself Statistically more people survive if they think only of themselvesDo not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, or loved ones. You have only a few seconds to escape Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die Do not panic Think only of yourselves...
These are the first signs of Sonic Attack: You will notice small objects, such as ornaments, oscillating. You will notice a vibration in your diaphragm You will hear a distant hissing in your ears You will feel dizzy You will feel the need to vomit There will be bleeding from orifices There will be an ache in the pelvic region You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting, or even laughter These are all sign of imminent Sonic destruction Your only real protection is flight If you are less than ten years old, then remain in your shelter and use your cocoon But remember: You can help no-one else, No-one else, No-one else...

What blows me away about the article is the idea that Sunnyvale has been affordable in the past, and that Santa Clara is only starting to climb. There's an implicit assumption that "tech" is centered in Menlo Park or something and that it's only now pushing people to the southeast. I've been going down to the silly valley for work for years and have never perceived such a thing. Lots of tech companies have been in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale for years. And Cupertino is right there. It's always been my perception that the entire region has been inflated for a couple of decades. All I can surmise is that the baseline for the entire region is so whack that the agent in the article has a skewed perspective on what "normal" and "middle class" mean.
The Cheeto administration has made it entirely clear that rape and torture are A-OK, and that fucking over the little guy is just good business. Nothing will come of this, though he might give Equifax an award.
Aye, microcode, jumpers, or license keys -- this sort of thing is not new. The summary I read yesterday implied that the extra range was a paid feature, but I'd also figured that the desire to ensure the car has a safety margin for delivering stated range was a factor.
I had thought though that a decade or two ago there was some federal law against this sort of thing, but I can't find any traces.
It might have the opposite effect. It is easy to hate a faceless "other". It is harder to be homophobic when you know your friends and relatives are gay.
My one brother in law manages -- wrt his own sister.
Re the GP, why on earth would he/she think the PNW is homophobic??
You do realize I hope that SunOS / Solaris has run on x86 / x64 systems as well since the late 1980's?
Back in the day the x4100/x4200 Intel/AMD series of systems were among the best rackmount x64 servers one could source. People even bought them to run MS Windows on.
I've seen companies hiring contractors for shit wages, with made-up skills. The contractors naturally suck at the job, that's why 80% of them are contractors in the first place. But nothing changes.
You sound more financially set than I do, but I had a bit of a similar experience.
o Internal recruiter from $wellknowncompanyhighonlistsofgoodworkplaces contacted me on LinkedIn, hot for me. Wanted me to relocate. Which I can't do. o Couple months later he contacts me again, says the group working with the tech I currently work with is 'struggling' and they're all hot for me. o Wants me to move to one of two cities. The first is the one I'd moved away from a couple of years ago for family reasons, and where I could no longer afford to live. The second is one where nobody can afford to live. Mind you, they also have a smaller office 45 min from where I live (modulo traffic) o Repeat that I can't move. Says he'll talk to the hiring manager. o Says since I'm senior etc. it'd be okay if I just went into the local office once a week or so. Where none of the team sites, but just because. Fine. Maybe their insurance would be better than what I have at least, they use a company I had previously wrangled into covering certain things. o Bizarrely, company policy is that everything gets deployed in a container, whether it's suited or not. o Hours of phone screens go well, they're all hot for me, want me to go to city #2 to interview on-site. I give them days that do/don't work, they say they'll get back to me. o Nothing o Ten days later I ping the recruiter, and they don't want to proceed because I'm not in city #1 or city #2.
This is a company high on the lists of best places to work, they wasted hours of my time, then turn me away because of family disability. @!#$@#$@.
When I was looking in late 2013 I had a very similar situation to that R3d describes. Company's new CTO was likable and seemed to have his head on straight. They wanted me to fight traffic twice a day and sit at a desk literally feet inside the main suite door. For less than I was already making, going up to parity in 6 months. Their field was some sort of social media targeted advertising, and they were entrenched with CentOS 5. Found this through a recruiter who contacted me. The third-party recruiter kept calling me to pressure even after I told him no, and to stop calling me.
This is part of why I took my phone number off my rez. Randoms calling all the time, especially while I'm in a meeting. And for family reasons it's not feasible to ignore any number I don't recognize.
The article doesn't talk about drives, though. It talks about systems. As though the only storage anyone has is a single drive that came from the factory. No clue what it will do on systems with a mix of storage.

In case of Sonic Attack on your district,
follow these rules...
If you are making love, it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously
Do not waste time blocking your ears
Do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible, but do not panic...
Use your wheels, it is what they are for
Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons, which should be left if possible, in a shelter
Do not attempt to use your own limbs
If no wheels are available, metal, not organic, limbs should be employed whenever practical...
Remember, in the case of Sonic Attack,
Survival does mean every man for himself
Statistically more people survive
if they think only of themselvesDo not attempt to rescue friends,
relatives, or loved ones.
You have only a few seconds to escape
Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die
Do not panic
Think only of yourselves...
These are the first signs of Sonic Attack:
You will notice small objects, such as ornaments, oscillating.
You will notice a vibration in your diaphragm
You will hear a distant hissing in your ears
You will feel dizzy
You will feel the need to vomit
There will be bleeding from orifices
There will be an ache in the pelvic region
You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting,
or even laughter
These are all sign of imminent Sonic destruction
Your only real protection is flight
If you are less than ten years old,
then remain in your shelter and use your cocoon
But remember: You can help no-one else,
No-one else,
No-one else...

I'm pretty sure the spinners I've put into my Mac Pro came that way too.
... and their campaigns against breastfeeding, and the way their animals are treated.
My first thought was "hotel mini bar". zzzzzz
There haven't been low rents/payments anywhere in the region for years. Rents go up.

The people whose lives it's saved would tend to disagree.
Moreover, VW has been notorious for horrid electrical systems for years; the idea of them expanding the role of such in the car is frightening.

I read about this tech in Popular Science back in 1984. Curious if something has changed since then to render this more than a PoC.

Re the GP, why on earth would he/she think the PNW is homophobic??
I would think that both
1) Typical computer speakers wouldn't reproduce those frequencies well at all
and
2) Codecs wouldn't encode them in the first place
And yet the lame-ass American League has a DH because they believe the pitcher is incapable of hitting. Violates the whole idea of teamwork.

... and are willing to live 5 to a phone booth.
You're complaining that people are agreeing with TFA??
Even Linda?

So yeah that's why you can't fill your position.

No, not arguing with it. Just want to know what to expect.
It's actually fairly moot for me, High Sierra won't run on my 2009 Mac Pro anyway.
Good to know, thanks. Wonder if like TRIM they'll only do that on SSD's that appear to have been shipped by Apple.
