That's my point: it doesn't happen for non-executives any more, and it prevents people from being able to move around the country at an employer's whim.
The cost of selling a home easily runs 10% of the price, much going to the price-fixing realtors. That gets you up toward the $100k mark. Then factor in the negative equity that is common these days.
Since Maiden is featured in TFA, I must point out that Bruce cut his hair some time ago, and the band survived. The stupid hats he's taken to wearing are more annoying than the hair below them.
So when someone has a disabled family member, and an underwater mortgage, how would you suggest that he/she drop everything and come up with $20k cash to to move to another state for a job that may/may not last more than a year?
I'm in computing. In the last week I've had no fewer than four contacts trying to get me to be an insurance agent. The mind boggles.
I routinely have headhunters shotgunning jobs at me that I clearly do not have the background for.
If for some reason you demand that applicants *live* in Wisconsin, then yep that would be a factor. Experienced people are more likely to have stuff like families and [underwater] mortgages that disincline them from dropping everything and moving, especially since the days of full-on six-figure employer-paid moves seem to be long gone.
I worked for one 20-ish years ago, most likely not the same one as you.
At one point a certain gate array in the latest generation CPU was generating errors at a much higher rate than any other component. AIUI the fix was adding a metal shield above that specific gate array, which solved the problem. This was attributed to cosmic rays.
Agreed. The numerical methods class I took in college was an eye-opener wrt the gaps in representable numbers and how offsets can quickly compound. Things like re-ordering operations to avoid very large or very small divisors or results.
His books are a mixture of cult-of-the-individual libertarianism and characters travelling back in time so that they can fuck their mother.
There's a second? Oy.
Can't say that I've read any of his other books. Honestly, this sort of stuff seems to be pretty common in Sci Fi and is part of why I don't read all that much of it. You can have conceptually interesting books like Ringworld and then 14 sequels which seem to be filled with bizarre sexual fantasies.
I've been vegan for 10+ years and my LDL tests perfect every time.
My carnie dad had a heart attack 5 years ago and a triple bypass operation. Scans show that I have 0 detectable plaque in my coronary arteries, 99th percentile.
My sister and I have a genetic condition that can require periodic surgeries. She sucks down animal products like crazy and her surgical load has been much more intense.
Failure while syncing is a very real concern -- it's happened to me, and it's one reason why I do 3-way mirrors when I can (and one reason to not buy LSI cards).
Striped RAID6 volumes is hardly crazy. Above a certain size, say 8D+2P or at most 12D+2P, one generally wants to break the volume up into multiple parity groups. This 1) improves write performance and 2) keeps the whole thing from being saturated during a rebuild.
There are forwarding services that could be used for a physical disk shipped, but international shipping and customs being what they are, a direct download over the net may well be faster.
Crashplan does update every 15 minutes IIRC and will alert if a client is unavailable for 3 days.
In the event of loss/theft, is all 1TB really what you would need to restore? Or is a bunch of that the OS and applications that you could reinstall?

That Chevy was horrible, nobody needs one.
AMANDA incorporated the idea of a staging disk years ago in part because of this. The network and tape speeds are decoupled.
It is indeed the same point: you can't expect senior people to be nomadic.

The bit where the first post is not shown is puzzling.
Would you be willing to drop $100k up front to cover relocation expense for such a person? I'm thinking probably not.

Wealth doesn't weight nearly as much as height. Most women select a 6'2" broke douche over a 5'6" decent guy without a second thought.
Think about it... it implies perpetual machines, and I believe there's some evidence against the possibility of such a thing :D
You haven't met my 5 year old son.

Japanese knotweed -- that shit is downright evil in how tenacious it is.

The thing about masonry stoves is the cost, like $10k, if you can get someone who'll leave Redmond to even install it.

I'm sort of a heretic in that I much preferred the TV eps to the radio eps.

Sorry, vendor on the brain. ^HP^GP
The HP was being sarcastic.
