    a few thousand dollars?! that would cover one engineer for long enough to set up his dev environment or a couple engineers to whiteboard for a few hours.

    they probably get $25K to $50K to explore the space for a few weeks and it goes up orders of magnitude based on success at each stage.

    really odd response. perhaps something your local church told you. but christians believe in the bible, which says jews are the chosen people. perhaps those who want to hate will distance themselves from jews but that's not mainstream thought.

    Your posting as AC and seem rather ignorant, but I'll bite.

    By definition, all European countries are Christian States. It's not a matter of your opinion. They were founded and remain Christian. Not just in nature, but in law and in decree. Others may live there with equal rights...at least recently...and on paper if not in practice...but that is no different than in Israel. Similarly, Turkey and all ME countries are officially muslim states. It has nothing to do with how secular they are in practice. BTW, seems like you've never been to Israel, but it's very secular both in population and in governance.

    Religion doesn't figure into Israeli legislature any moreso than in most countries.

    Ah, i found your other post. You are a anti-semitic racist bigot. Or perhaps a Palestinian? Line up for your genocide. :)

    Your self perception is not inline with the meaning of your comments. Best to be honest with yourself and accept that you are a racist bigot. Then go fuck yourself.

    Scary stuff. It explains a lot though.

    Implies you accept most if not all of it as true when a person with less bigoted view or less ignorant would recognize the intent of the post and the content as lies.

    At least not all of the Jewish people subscribe to this supremacist nonsense.

    Implies that many, although not all Jews subscribe to these kinds of statements.

    Israel is less religious than the USA. Although probably more so than parts of Europe. Really amazed at your linking Mossad, composed mostly of non-religious Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Jews to religious fanaticism.

    u do realize that every country in europe is a christian state, with the exception of turkey which is a muslim state? and nearly every state in the middle east is an arab and muslim state? it's no different, except that jews had lost their state and were stateless for a long time, until recently. you are a racist evil person who can't see the equivalence through your hate.

  9. Re:Jewish Talmud on Why Israel Could Be the Next Cybersecurity World Power · · Score: 1

    the fact that you believe these quotes is what's scary. at least not all non-jews are as anti-semitic as you are.

    OTOH, jesus was jewish, and the talmud is also the bible for christians, and that not with standing, even the new testament has horrible stuff in it if you seek to cherry pick from it, and WRT supremacist nonsense, christians also believe that jews are the chosen people, so they are no less supremacist in their views.

    Yeah, I agree about the hours. I wouldn't want that job.

    Where I am, there are plenty of older but decent middle class homes for $250K. I would imagine new CS grads are making around $50K to $80K in my area.

    I think it's more akin to, if someone shoots at you, don't take cover or return fire until you radio up the chain of command, describe the situation, obtain observations, and get approval to respond. Meanwhile, bullets have been fired, and you're dead or the assailants have moved on.

    Well, $80K right out of school for a grueling job (and presumably top students) isn't insanely bad

    It's actually insanely good. $80K/yr would be WELL above average for just out of school.

    These were people around 30 yrs old with 5-7 yrs of experience and MS degrees.

    They weren't top students/coders, but they were competent enough to get hired by EA.

    When thinking about salaries, I think people need to separate out what top hires make in Silicon Valley from most people who are more average and not living in SF.

    $60K/yr out of school would be pretty solid/good for an average university CS grad in a random town. In SF it would be rough.

    Each product spec sheet should include a list of all countries that will be spying on you as a result of your purchase. Then you can compare various models and decide who would make you most happy if they were to know everything about you. Customer transparency. Customer choice. Even Apple can get behind that!

    Salaries are very local. Sure $87K/yr is low for 5 yrs exp in NYC or SF, but in some parts of the country, that's a decent senior engineer salary, especially if the job has other benefits like 40 hr work weeks, flex scheduling, overtime, pension, health care, etc.
