Not to mention that Saddam was a pretty close US ally for a long time and received significant US weapons and support for a long time...until we turned on him.
Most of those 650K people were innocents. The rest could have cared less about the USA had we not attacked and invaded them.
With 3rd party services like BitPay, everyone can update their services/site to accept BitCoin with no additional risk, right? No real risk, yet, big political statement.
I've been through several downturns. In 2001 I was laid off during the dot com collapse. I went to grad school fully funded until the market recovered. In 2007 I was laid off because of the mortgage collapse. It took me 3 months to find my dream job (I had several offers during that time frame). I did contract work in between.
$50K is not bad at all for a laid back IT support job. The salaries I was putting out there were intended for programming, development, and product/project management roles.
Hard to imagine going to 20 interviews and not getting a job. Something is wrong there. 60 seems even more crazy. I've found that I get offers from about 1/3 of the companies I interview with.
I think the real problem is that companies are not willing to pay the wages they should to attract a well qualified employee. You're not going to get many applicants for $30K-$60K/yr when the market is looking for $60K-$120K/yr...and 45hr work weeks instead of 50+hr wks.
You could have a minimum wage allowable. Say, $60K/yr for entry level, $100K/yr for mid career, and $125K/yr for senior...adjusted for location. Allow companies to pay higher wages if they like.
I would think average salaries would have to be above $100K in order to generate enough interest/demand. Less than that and it's hard to justify staying in the tech field for many of us.
Agreed. From my experience, HR has typically been the single biggest impediment to hiring and retaining good engineers. They are also typically the dumbest of the employees in the organization.
I get your sentiment, but your time line is orders of magnitude off....
In 1K years we will be almost exactly the same. In 10K years we *might be slightly different but probably no one will notice. In 100K years we may be a different species, but still easily recognizable as "human" In 500K years we might be very different from our current form.
why not boost it into a sustainable orbit when it's retired, so it's always there for future revival, unthought of experimentation, or an emergency shelter during future manned missions?
Really there ought to be a college alternative to computer science...perhaps a 2 year computer programming vocational degree. No need for a college degree where half the courses have nothing to do with CS for people that just want to code and not be computer scientists.
republicans: the corporations must succeed at all costs! down with the people (and i don't mean corporations when i say 'people') republican supporters: huh? republicans: we hate gays. and immigrants. republican supporters: oh, you have our vote!
exactly...and the allowance of the continued stupidity becomes passive malice. Don't do harm through action or inaction. Even our robots can handle that.
that's actually fraud. some law firm should pick up on that and sue. probably millions in these charges across their customer base.
Micro Center recently told my mom when she bought a new computer that her existing 3 yr anti-virus service that she paid some stupid amount for won't transfer to her new computer (same OS) and that she needed to buy a new 3 yr license. Of course it installed and activated in a few minutes on her new computer later that day. So fraudulent.

that's the near term solution.
one would hope that 10,000 years out we've diversified a bit and put ourselves on other planets/bodies.
perhaps 100,000 years out we've diversified to other solar systems.
but what's the point of sending humans to suspend them in air there? what does it lead to? What can they do that probes can not?

when the little needle in the Keurig device comes down and punctures the spoofed k-cup, it will surely execute an Java injection attack.

Have a 50% tax on top of that.
seems like you might not have the idea. the FBI always contacts people to bait them into crimes. especially of national security.
he should hang. plain and simple.
buy it!
besides, there would be nothing gained to put a person in there...and huge risk.
I think you mean Earth is hard. Space will present a host of additional challenges.

A huge number of the jobs out there are in Java. In any case, as a new grad, no one should have really cared what language you knew from college.

Isn't the "record everything app" the default state for most of the apps you download from the Google App store?
