What city is this in? There are other tech jobs, right? You had no 401k or anything? I hope things turn up for you soon.

Isn't it simply guaranteed by the government? Private banks put up the money and the government only steps in to pay if there is a default. Isn't it a profitable business for the banks?

What crown jewels are these? Windows? Office? Edge? They're trying, they see the writing on the wall, it's foolish to not see that they're trying. I think it would be equally foolish to just whitewash away the sins of

A service that does recognition based analytics on images or video from your homw security camera seems like a multi-billion dollar idea to me. Half the houses in my neighborhood have some sort of camera system that you can see, there are p

While visiting a Chinese division of an American company I worked for about 8 years ago they had Dell desktops, in a tower configuration and they had a metal (steel) super structure around them. A case within a case. You could unlock it, p

Well, it can read your schedule, tell you your location and then there is the homekit stuff. It could potentially disable certain security features you might have installed at your house, it could possible perform a very expensive modifi

If only it were that simple... Not filing or, worse, making an error in your filing makes it a really really nasty game. No recommended. I'll even break my own rule: "Not filing considered harmful"

They've been in the business, probably are experts at cost reduction engineering. Their business is selling this information to other auto companies so they must be right enough that they can get paid for it. There are potential rea

It seems like they have a few firewalls to burn through before a dramatic xeon price cut. They could just start churning out xeon-d parts that are already fairly affordable and designed to basically compete with most of these server arm p

Or Equifax. FB is a giant company that has produced billions of dollars in value.. to complete the cliche, it was literally started in a college dorm room. Congress and the Senate want to look good, but they don't want to hurt the com

It's really up to if the investors felt she defrauded them all. Some clearly do but others? It's not so clear to me. For whatever the reasons, she seems to be loved by at least a few investors, enough so that it puts dorks he

I used a mighty mouse with it as the last mouse. I've been using a magic trackpad lately. Definitely not the most ergonomic option but I like the hand gestures. Took maybe 3 days to get used to the movement between them mouse and t

I'm a longtime Kinesis user and I had the pedals about 15 years back but I never made much use of them. I don't know if the Kinesis reduces the finger movement between rows, but your hands definitely sit in a much more relaxed way

I guarantee that "X" wasn't defined when the contract was signed. Not defined as something that could be implemented. It was a problem solving mission. I also want to clarify, I'm not saying IBM plotted X to Y in the m

Didn't IBM effectively give them that guidance? It seems kind of simple in a way, if IBM was hired to build X and failed to do so, then there will be a law suit or some form of arbitration and some money will be recovered or something

Why not? It seems like a pretty solid option for a subscription model and they already ask you for money donations when you pay at Petsmart and Petco...

I agree with you. Amazon, like Walmart, is sort of in this grey zone for me. They smell and feel a little funny. Both are relentless in their customer focus, they drive prices down, they both continue to add more and more services and of

It seems more fundamental to me. Credit firm customers aren't the victims. The generalized GOP party line is that this kind of thing is better left to private enterprise and the federal government shouldn't spend time and money co

You usually need credit to rent a car. I'm guessing that at the prices the parent listed, the person isn't buying a $70k luxury car for $1000+ a month, but has bad credit and can't put any money down on the car so they'r

I will echo this. I absolutely knew I was a software engineer pre-Slashdot but it shaped what and where and how I do that. And I also have had a very good run so far. So thank you for that impact on my life. I did a book review on there,
