Silicon Valley has some rock stars but the average technical talent is exceeded many other places for a fraction of the price. The power of Silicon Valley is in personal networking. Recruiting, changing jobs, dynamic flow. The exact opposite of non-compete contracts demanded so many other places.
People who get into programming for the money are the worst programmers. We don't need more warm bodies.
People that don't pursue a paycheck are destined to starve.
Face it - we have bills to pay. There's plenty of people intelligent enough for CS but they're not taking it because they are smart enough to realize that they have the intelligence and drive to get other jobs that pay much more. Stock analysts and traders, management, etc.
1. There are already more STEM graduates than jobs. 2. 3/4 of STEM workers leave the field due to poor pay and working conditions compared to other jobs. There's a retention and value issue, not any lack of people or talent.
Obeying every traffic law guarantees getting in accidents. It might not legally be the robot's fault but they did cause it because they aren't following the rules of the road. Because of that, they flow against the normal progression of traffic and cause disruptions which lead to accidents.
Lets see a breakdown that calculates geographical cost of living and hourly wages (rather than salary). $100k isn't much when you're working 100 hours a week and live in silicon valley.
That hits on something that the "sharing economy" keeps ignoring - what happens when you can't find work? Most people fail at this model and there isn't somewhere better to go. That common failure combined with variable income means that you can't take loans. No house, no apartment, no car, no investment. Just how long are you going to live in your parent's basement? Prove that this model is economically better before changing law to create a 3rd type of worker that has the worst parts of the other 2.
Every comment that I've read supporting Greece leaving the Euro has fallen into 1 or more categories: 1) Complete lack of economic understanding, 2) Unrelated argument or logic fallacy, 3) Ignoring that, no, it's not going to work out. Numbers don't lie.
The entire situation seems to come down to Greece spending others money then refusing to pay it back. That's theft.
As for the Euro not supporting Greece's tourism economics, can someone go into more depth? The point of group economics is that labor costs will even out - if someone is out of work then they will either work more efficiently or work for less compensation.
What we need is 10% CS, 30% Software Engineering, and 60% ITT. Biggest problem are managers that don't consider productivity or quality impacting the final dollars per result.
That DC10 was designed to hit geese without sustaining damage. You think a 1 kg drone is going to do anything?
Besides, those retardant drops don't do anything other than provide fertilizer for plant recovery the next year. Fires burn out when they burn out - the guys on the ground and air have little impact. (Note: I worked over 100 major forest and range fires. Only 1 was not caused by logging or over-grazing.)
Then change your political system. Party rule is inherently opaque (leading to corruption) anyway.

Glass - rarely cost effective because it requires more energy to recycle than create new. It's also great in a landfill because its inert. Quit wasting energy trying to recycle it.
Paper - ok, then sort into cardboard, print, and "burn".
Metal - best recycling because it takes 1/20th the energy vs new mining, not to mention reducing pollution.
Plastic - burn it with plasma. Seriously. It's never been recyclable. Otherwise it ends up shredded and burned in unfiltered coal fire electrical plants in China.
Recycling has to be cost effective. Otherwise you're just throwing money at a problem that ends up burned in someone's gas tank further down the supply chain.

A good cost analysis is never difficult. A 3 sort recycle also clears everything up - metal, plastic, paper. Glass goes in the garbage and food goes in the compost.
If you want to take that a step further than send all paper and plastic to local plasma furnaces. Heck, they even take dried bio waste such as lawn clippings.
It's a mistake to think that those on the ballet are the only ones to vote for. Write in a name. Start petitions. Voters have the power - they just don't bother to use it.
The old socialist countries are the new fascist countries.
A choice between horrible and atrocious. I'm demanding a write-in voting pamphlet. Was going to write "Mickey Mouse" but their recent assault on USA citizens will mean a vote to "None".
Internet access is nearly as important as electricity in our modern age. I'd place it as more important than phones. A phone can call a friend... the internet shows you the world.

Or even better... start building GMO people! You can have the worst of both worlds when you bottle them.

"Crappy power" is normal. Manufacturers need to design for that. How long something lasts in a lab is irrelevant.
What frequency do drones use? Can it be jammed? If it falls on your property (like a frisbee or baseball) then is it yours to smash and throw away?
Personally I approve of the shotgun method as long as you know where the BBs are dropping and its safe.

And the owners - the folks with capital - will be the winners.
Capital - such as 401k - is not enough. It has to be in the billions to get those backroom deals.
Because its even worse in other countries?

Lisp failed because 1) it's hard (different thoughts/mentality to program) and 2) flexibility = unsupportable by another developer.

But what if it isn't? What if its 8 different honest reviews? Does their privacy get eviscerated because some corp has money for lawyers?
And $8m for $165k damages? CA is a failed state.

Use their electricity, bathrooms, and water too. Those and internet are all basic necessities.
Or East LA. Or the wrong side of Boston, Houston, Miami, or most other big cities. You don't have to leave the USA to find third world countries.
