Cloud? Mostly irrelevant. The only reason the IT industry hasn't been in massive decline for two decades is that the growth in technology dependence has kept pace with the growth in offshore and outsource stupidity.
I stopped programming for a living in 2003 because there were too many skilled software engineers competing for few too roles that weren't experiencing any wage growth. Outsourcing killed the programmer career in the UK.
"Now it's all over IT"? Shit, the industry barely got started before it was all over.
4: The contractor cannot be interviewed by, hired, or fired by a company employee they are a direct report to
That's insane and impossible.
I need some software writing. I decide to engage a contractor to do it for me. Talking to them beforehand is interviewing them, so I can't do that. Asking them take on the work in return for payment is hiring them, so I can't do that. Deciding they're a complete fuckwit, something I couldn't tell beforehand because I couldn't interview them, I can't terminate their contract because that would be firing them.
Only because of the legal definitions of rape. Include serious sexual assaults (and in the US, include the prison system) and the victim gender balance dramatically shifts.
Hmm. I can go four levels senior to the VP - directly, face to face - if I need to. VPs are ten a penny and any acting like that would be in deep shit long before the person that reported them.
That's not even including the entire compliance department, legal team or whistleblower hotline, and I'd in line for a serious pay-off if I went straight to the regulator.
So nope, no sympathy at all to the employees. Don't commit fraud, and don't tolerate managers that demand it.
What the fuck does this have to do with mathematics?
It's a clickbait headline that damages the credibility of the underlying story and makes me distrust its content. It may or may not be correct but instinctively I don't believe it.
Well, Walmart don't deliver so it's quite hard to get exact pricing. http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-... suggests nearer $4 a gallon though, so lets go with that.
International grocery prices are surprisingly hard to find. Until I found that site anyway.
Don't feel too bad about it. Apigee offer a class of software typically described as an API Gateway or API Management. If you're sharing soap or restful APIs over the internet then it's a great way to help people discover them and to manage, control, throttle, track, report and also just build APIs.
Competitors include Mashery (now owned by Tibco), Akana (I like the name), IBM (holy shit it's shit), Oracle (who gives a fuck what it's like, no cunt can afford the licences) and about 60 others that have no real share of the market.
Mulesoft is the other interesting option, as they conflate API management with messaging so you get a hybrid API manager ESB out of the box.
Disclosure: My employer has a commercial relationship with one or more of the above. Well, 'more'. Most. Maybe all. Just not in the API space.
I went m43 for the portability, and the image quality is 2-4 years behind SLRs purely due to sensor size.
The mobile phone encroachment is however much worse at that format, so prices are already ludicrous. Well over a grand for lenses that would be a third of that price in full frame.
Yeah. I've been using bluetooth headsets (for voice, as well as listening) for over 7 years but sometimes the battery goes and.. I just take the audio cable out of the headset case and attach it to the headset and the phone.
All the convenience of both solutions, although it means I have to carry an audio cable around with me. But I'd have to do that if I didn't use bluetooth anyway.
It starts to matter as you increase the size of the display. I have a five foot wide print on my wall, I have to stand over a metre away before the rendered camera resolution blurs into an analogue picture.
Without disagreeing, these days you also need to put your money into a big sensor.
Although mobile phone sensors are now exceedingly good, they just aren't getting as many photons hitting them as a cheap DSLR, let alone a full frame DSLR or medium format sensor.
The fun is that the glass is struggling to keep up with full frame sensors now, although I don't have faith that phones will close the gap on that front.
So in summary, you're scared of ambiguity and you want the referendum result annulled because you don't understand the next steps.
I'm not sure if this is the Government's fault or mine. I think you're saying both?
Shrug. Sovereignty isn't a terribly difficult concept, yes we're probably going to get fucked by TTIP or whatever replaces it, no we probably wont control immigration.
Number of British people living abroad is irrelevant, it's the number that have been living abroad for more than 15 years. Which as I said, looks to be around 700,000.
So my evidence (a number used in court in a challenge to the referendum rules) suggests no impact on the result. Your evidence (guesswork combined with dodgy assumptions) may have had an impact on the result.
On the whole I think I'll stick with democratic, legal and a fundamental message from the British people to their government.
You truly are a fine advertisement for incompetent fucking ignorance.
Lets see.. Wikipedia: "Many social scientists including economist Michael Zweig and sociologist Dennis Gilbert contend that middle class persons usually have above median incomes."
No fucking relationship at all. This is a discussion forum, on which stupid ignorant people unwilling to educate themselves deserve all the ire they receive, and you're top of the fucking list of complete knobstains incapable of even using a search engine.
Reddit? Shit, even Reddit is beyond your intellect. Go back to myspace.
Q1 - wrong. The UK government could not negotiate its own trade, could not apply tariffs to Chinese steel imports, could not prevent the free movement of people from the EU
Q2 - the Government was indeed failing miserably at controlling the non-EU immigration. That was a factor in the referendum result, but at least they no longer have excuse that they couldn't control EU immigration anyway. That debate is far from over as multiple governments have treated immigration as an way to boost the economy without properly understanding its effects on the existing population. They need to start.
Q3 : Not in terms of the referendum result, no. Q4 : No, because only agitators voting 'remain' thought they were main points, thought they were relevant to voters and keep mentioning them since Q5 : Only if you're happy to tell 17m people that their vote didn't count and that their concerns don't matter. Luckily May and her cabinet are keen to avoid the wholescale rioting that would understandably result if they did take that approach. Q6 : Wait, you're upset because there was no plan, now you want action without a plan? It's been less then three months, you think that's dragging your heels? Your question is itself invalid, come back this time next year if there's been no progress and I'll probably answer 'yes'.
seeing as the 350mil a week NHS line was so influential to the leave vote
Really? The only people I've ever heard mentioning this are people that voted 'Remain'. Not a single person that voted leave has said to me that they even thought this was ever promised, offered or likely, let alone that it influenced their decision.
The current government's distaste for public services is one reason I didn't vote for them. EU membership is entirely fucking irrelevant to that particular debate.
No. But then, I was born in one European country, have lived in a second and am a citizen and resident of a third. I've travelled to over a dozen of them. I know who I am, I know my own views and I don't describe them as xenophobic. Clearly you use a very different definition of the word.
I talk about the bullshit in Europe because it has all the issues of the British Government then adds several new layers of unaccountability on top. Sure, there is a hell of a lot to do to improve democracy, accountability and representation in the UK too, but being in the EU just makes it worse and charges us for the privilege.
Britain is more corrupt than the EU average
Interesting, but irrelevant. British corruption + EU corruption is still greater than just British corruption and a fuckload harder to fix.
you're supporting the worsening of those exact things
No, I'm supporting the elimination of a whole class of bullshit by leaving the EU. Yes, we still have to deal with the more local issues, but I'm working on that too.
Interesting, and thanks for the link. I do still find it hard to believe the A50 negotiations wont include conversations around trade, as it's quite hard to discuss the terms of an exit without de facto articulating the relationship that will exist post-exit.

Utter fucking nonsense.

But keep showing your petulant ignorance.
http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/mo... isn't exactly low-end, 600mAH battery, up to 22 hours life (according to a cnet review).
So there's room to improve even on those without getting close to hitting the lightning connector cap.
Hmm. Touch my pension and I might as well kill you. There's no point living through the shit without the hope it will end one day.
Take away that hope, and I may as well take away the living. But not without revenge first.
most rapists are male and rape victims female

erm. The word used was 'popularised' not 'pioneered'.
On the GUI front that's very debatable, but market penetration of mobile devices with no keyboard prior to the iPhone was very low.
Apple do enough shit and nasty things to get upset about, you are allowed to acknowledge the good stuff they do too.
Yeah. I've been using bluetooth headsets (for voice, as well as listening) for over 7 years but sometimes the battery goes and.. I just take the audio cable out of the headset case and attach it to the headset and the phone.
All the convenience of both solutions, although it means I have to carry an audio cable around with me. But I'd have to do that if I didn't use bluetooth anyway.
Yeah, I find this a curious feature. "We're going to intentionally smear part of your image" ?
Bokeh is an artefact of the lens and how it focuses, and can be intentionally used to great effect. Artificial bokeh feels wrong somehow.

Well done. As I said, go to fucking school. You argue like a five year old.

Hmm, no. Afghanistan declared its independence from the USSR in the American style.
The break up of the rest of the USSR is much more akin to how the UK gave independence to Sri Lanka, Brunei, Malaya and Malta.
You truly are a fine advertisement for incompetent fucking ignorance.
Lets see.. Wikipedia: "Many social scientists including economist Michael Zweig and sociologist Dennis Gilbert contend that middle class persons usually have above median incomes."
Or a study that shows middle class incomes average £47k : http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/u...
