To be honest, this always seemed more likely. Global cooling was the dominant theory from the time investigation of greenhouse gases began in the late 19th century up until the late 1970’s. While the Venus-like future of Earth is entirely p

It was either Nixon or Ford who in the 1970’s declared a cure for cancer would be found in 2 years. It’s hundreds of diseases though, that’s like saying you found a cure for “organ failure”.

Not good. Something negative is eventually going to be written about big tech, and Facebook stands out as the easiest to be negative about / even scapegoat. Not only that, but the story is incredibly easy to write. Mark Zuckerberg is a

I’m billed at $105/hr + expenses I accrue traveling to whatever company hires my firm. I make $70/hr. I live in Texas.

We don’t know how to build secure software. I would compare to medicine where we simply don’t know how to cure certain diseases right now. Or maybe how long it took us to build cars that weren’t a death trap (e.g. hoods used to not crumple

lol yesterday I saw an ad from JP Morgan on Twitter...”why young people don’t just want a paycheck”. The ad led you to page that talked about how a charity in Seattle got basically 2 weeks of free work from an entry level dev at a JP Morgan

Thanks for the exact numbers that really helps. I will say those numbers on websites are lowered by the vast number of H1-B’s. Also Indeed is rolling out a salary estimate tool and they’ve had companies call in to complain the estimate is t

I love trains and have taken Amtrak many times. I want to see rail well-funded. That being said, high-speed rail is often seen as a ploy for other things. The best example I can think of is during the Obama administration the attempt to bui

I wonder that sometimes too. I came from the sysadmin world. I was always interested in that kind of stuff (like setting up my network at home) and cloud technology made it easy to learn while I had my first job in tech support. Really I’m

This is such a disgusting neoliberalism lie I’m unsure how to react. There is nothing in the world to suggest that MORE workers would RAISE wages. I’m not saying it doesn’t add benefits, American tech companies built a lot of cool stuff wit

Also remote devops remotes in SF and NY that require 1 week of travel a month at most are in the 180-200k from what I’ve seen. These are the top salaries I’ve seen if you’re committed to living somewhere inexpensive like I am. This assumes

Here’s my salary to help ppl negotiate: I worked for KPMG previously (within 12 months) and made 140k as an AWS Architect (designing the environment and then building it out in the GUI). This was in Dallas, Texas so good amount of money. If

I think we’re in agreement on our points? Periods of mass external migration into the US also depress wages and make jobs tougher to compete for, which also hinders moving. The next phase of internal migration has begun / will begin so

Regarding migrations, one clarification. American society so far has demonstrated a tendency to alternate between mass migrations coming in from abroad, and mass internal migrations. The last great internal migration was the 1940’s to 197

I can’t remember the name of the VC, but there was an interview in the PBS Frontline special on Facebook where he made the comment: “back in 2007 when Mark said ‘move fast and break things’ it didn’t yet sound completely sociopathic”. Ther

You make very good points above. I really enjoyed college, especially my liberal arts classes. That being said, with AWS Certs going for between $75-$300 how long do colleges think they can survive? If you were a 22 yr old who studied from

And yet we see this huge push in the intelligentsia for how cities “increase creativity” and promote value “x y and z” and how “we should be like China and build planned mega cities”. Cities that are very walkable and have a thriving downto

What’s really creepy is how a lot of marketing companies are paying students in medical school to recommend their products. Apparently doctors recommending things is a technique that doesn’t work anymore so any group that still has “credibi

Going to get downvoted harshly for this, and I deserve some of it. But let me say, is anyone else just slightly suspicious (don’t have to change your minds though and I agree with the science here) that investing billionaires, people who gi

The intelligence value of this is enormous. For locating the source of audiotapes and video sometimes the only thing you have to go on is bird sounds because people are smart enough to hide everything but forget that. The CIA has consistent

Acknowledged and this is a really good point. Currently I’m straddling the fence on this one and doing a 2 hour DNS Record time. Also want to mention GEOIP blocking. I hate it’s come to this for the interment, but for a lot of sites, especi

DNS Monitoring is a mandatory security requirement for anyone serious about DNS Security today. https://dnsspy.io is a good example of this. Also, although I don’t think there is 100% agreement on this in the community, use LONG

Some of the actions taken at Parkland were unacceptable. One thing I want to point out though is that in the US we have, not surprisingly, the quickest and best active shooter response of anyone in the world. I would encourage you to look a
