To summarize, I am childish for asking such question, you don't know answers but think they are somewhere in some book, and people elsewhere, but not here, are possibly better off.
I don't see many answers. Did you respond just to flame?
If you hire companies to 'tell you what you want to hear', you have nobody to blame but yourself.
I don't think you quite get it. This is invaluable optimization method of CEO compensation package maximization. Think of all the efficiencies gained in CEO's self-serving process. Countless hours saved, and at the going CEO hourly rate IRR is more than justifies this service.
We were told that globalization is the future, it will increase our prosperity and so on. After decades of this most consumer goods are very cheap and very poorly made. All salaries stagnated. At the same time a whole bunch of folks are out of jobs and can't afford to buy food.
Now we are trying protectionism. Consumer good are still relatively cheap but the jobs are gradually coming back. Salaries ticked up for the first time since 90s.
So could someone explain to me why we hate protectionism?
I am NOT an open source ideologue, however, with Google closed source kernel could only mean that snooping is baked-in at the kernel level. They are not in business of selling OS, so I couldn't think of any other reason to close source it.
They should have named this kernel Tom, as in Peeping Tom.
The future of IoT and smart consumer electronics is bloatware. Sure, security or lack of thereof is in the headlines right now. This technical issue will be solved. However, bloatware like this app is here to stay. Manufacturers will be paid to install apps like these and they will spy on you for profit.
My prediction is that in a year or so you won't be able to buy a TV without this crap installed.
Google is a company run by techies. I liked to pretend that we are better than empty BA suits or bozos in marketing, but turns out that this is not the case.
So many people will end up with a modern version of AOL where I think they belong. As long as techies can still get the real deal, not everything is lost.
As someone who worked on NIH in the past, this is not true. When you write grant application, you can specify salary ranges. They do set caps based on education/experience, but that only applies to researchers. $45k/year if I recall correctly is the lowest bracket, intended for summer internships and such. Someone with PhD and/or 10 years can get up to $120K or so.
Clearly, someone dropped the ball writing grant application.
I work in NIH funded research and needed a programmer at $45k/yr.?
I agree, US is screwed when they waste NIH grant money on someone who doesn't understand that you will be hard-pressed to get a janitor for $45k/year, less an actual programmer.
Speaking as someone who has spent thousands of dollars in legal assistance getting the appropriate visa in place allowing me to work in the US... go fuck yourself.
Why do you think your ability to work in the US should be prioritized over interests of US citizens and US tech workers? Do you think USA could have a legitimate right to turn you away for any reason whatsoever, no matter how misguided such reason might be?
I do not live or work in US, so this is neutral third-party question.
No, this is not how it works. You measure pregnancy duration of 9 women, then conclude that if you have a collective of approximately 300 women they will produce 1 baby a day.
However, 1 baby a day is not a useful metric unless you very carefully manage the process.

You can't just glue blobs of code together and expect a decent application to come out of it.
Decent? Not really. Working? Absolutely.
Anyone who ever maintained legacy code/systems can attest that this is how it is done all the time.
I am not saying it was aliens... but these were alien worlds.

Maybe a virtual machine running on a kernel running on a hypervisor? It's kernels all the way down...
The real programmers manually load their boot loader that they personally wrote in assembly on every reboot, and like it!
Replacing Linux with a home-rolled kernel?
Yes and at present it is closed source.

Or end of humanity once modified genes jump to gut bacteria and we suddenly become hyper-allergic to benign stuff.
I hope they figure out some kind of kill switch for modified organisms before doomsday happens.

This is complete opposite from "Don't be evil". This is outright intrusive and evil.

Have anyone else noticed that SJW are tend to be extra prudish. Unless you are having gay sex, then it must be rape-y and should be avoided.

This is another misguided attempt to push GeForce Experience spyware down our throats.

Interesting, wouldn't manufacturer be incentivized to minimize early failures, as it would be most expensive for them?
Also, how do you account for bad batches/production runs or do they always show up during initial 3 month period?
And "few years" is approximately half of MTTF, or do we now know enough to determine failure distribution indirectly?
In other news, in 2062 they will have time travel, otherwise how could you possibly know that just-released 8TB drive would last 45 years?
Is aggregate usage even a meaningful metric?

It is too late to fix this now, the only thing left for us to do is tell them to get off our lawn.
