"While Federal employees' salaries are considered public information, FederalPay does not by default display pay information for employees earning below $100,000 per year who are not in the highest paid 10% of their agency."
I found this by looking for a random name and seeing that for some name the contents of Salary column is replaced by "View Employee Profile" link
Once you click on that link, you see the whole table of salary related information with all cells "REDACTED" (like in the movies).
Then it displays the quoted explanation.
I wonder if government requested that feature from what I presume is independent organization or they came up with it themselves....
All that matters is the number of people who relies on help: that include
- healthy young individual who can't find a job ("unemployed") - Small business domestic slave force who lives on the street and need food stamps to exist (people are attacking Walmart instead of attacking these loveable mom-and-pop sweatshops) - elders - children - sick
We are focusing on the first category only because it's the category that can overthrow the government.
Housewives are employed for all that matters. People who work part time and still can live on what they earn part time are still employed for all that matters.
And finally. Unemployment is just a metric. Only relative changes of that number with time matter.
I killed with fire recently Youtube (in FF, I can kill youtube ads by ad blocker, in the app I can't), Linkedin. I would have killed all Amazon apps but it seems that they have been pre-installed. Everything that has a website needs to go. All the small conveniences they do are not worth it.
There are exceptions though. My bank app is actually quite good.
The plan was to stop supporting and _eventually_ drop it.
This is in line with the alarming industry trend of dropping something very stable and unchangeable (ergo, does not bring any money) in favor of something experimental and unstable that you will be able to sell to clueless buyers.
Similar to impossibility of having practically eternal products, stable software products of private industry are impossible as well.
Have you been to the grocery chains recently? Remember the hype of LED lamps? It was hard to find a good incadescent in my grocery store at one point, majority of the shelf space was covered by LEDs. Now the situation is back to the beginning: majority are incadescents, LEDs are in minority.
's slow. I mean really, really slow. A lot of times this doesn't matter, but it definitely means you'll need another language for those performance-critical bits.
Nested functions kind of suck in that you can't modify variables in the outer scope. Edit: I still use Python 2 due to library support, and this design flaw irritates the heck out of me, but apparently it's fixed in Python 3 due to the nonlocal statement. Can't wait for the libs I use to be ported so this flaw can be sent to the ash heap of history for good.
It's missing a few features that can be useful to library/generic code and IMHO are simplicity taken to unhealthy extremes. The most important ones I can think of are user-defined value types (I'm guessing these can be created with metaclass magic, but I've never tried), and ref function parameter.
It's far from the metal. Need to write threading primitives or kernel code or something? Good luck.
While I don't mind the lack of ability to catch semantic errors upfront as a tradeoff for the dynamism that Python offers, I wish there were a way to catch syntactic errors and silly things like mistyping variable names without having to actually run the code.
The documentation isn't as good as languages like PHP and Java that have strong corporate backings.
Privacy is gone. Say goodbye to it. ISPs will officially track "every link you click, every move you make". So, at this point, it is time to make lemonade from lemons and delegate content payment distribution on ISPs: we pay a fixed ISP fee we are paying now, no more, ISP determines the content we are watching and distributes the correponding portion to content owners.
Whether you wanted or not, this is where it will be going.
The comparison to COBOL is just plain vanilla ridiculous. COBOL conservation is not a property of language, it's a property of the domain that chose that language 50 years ago.
Nothing like this happened to any other languages.
The phase out of W7 flattened in the last year. The year before it was slowly dropping, but now it is steady percentage. W10 continues to grow but at the expense of earlier W versions. I suspect that some of the incentives MS was offering to upgrade to W10 expired last year.
A differential shows that more than a half of percentage points lost by IE (.71%) since the last month go to "other" (.38% increase) which is more than twice larger than the increase in Safari points (.16%) which is actually a largest winner (by a small margin) last month (Chrome has only.13% increase)

>Who buys light bulbs at the grocery store? They are generally marked up between 150-300% of the cost at a big-box retailer.
Laziness. I said it. I admitted it.

There are plenty other wrong things with apps.
I killed with fire recently Youtube (in FF, I can kill youtube ads by ad blocker, in the app I can't), Linkedin. I would have killed all Amazon apps but it seems that they have been pre-installed. Everything that has a website needs to go. All the small conveniences they do are not worth it.

This is future. You do not want it, I do not want it. But it will happen.
>but don't let 'em marry, that's icky
That have been embraced almost universally now by both parties.
You did not address the very important clause of "hurting the customers".
Importance of this clause is in its nebulousness: it can be used to crack down on the companies you do not like and it could be completely ignored.
I hate laws like this. They plague every Western or wanna-be-Western "democratic" system like ... plague.
What happens if you combine this with harvesting wave energy? There are wave energy electric stations that are also based on platforms.
If it is windy, it is wavy.
Just saying...

That does not make any sense. The information function of ads have long been replaced by the concept of search engines.
entertainment. Mr. Nolan is a little bit full of himself.
No. Screw the whole concept of advertiaement

if you are a federal worker, your salary is not a secret.
Except that in contrast to Norway it is harder to find
Ok: replace "workers" with "local business" or "local business workers"
Better now?

Wow! I missed that juicy bit.
