True. Forgot about that since most of my family and friends did same and since I was half public and half private myself lol. Sad actually when you think of the tax base and population count.

Salaries esp in tech and tech management are much better elsewhere even in the state itself. Jacksonville I believe was ranked as the fastest growing US metro area but I might be mistaken on that. Orlando is seeing serious and major constru

You can get objective criteria. As someone who lived there until literally months ago for much of my adulthood, there are definitely serious issues for a tech/startup city. The education system isn't highly rated overall so you&#x

It's likely that in the area of content moderation and related matters, employee numbers do matter. The parents did their job and gave the child's iPhone to authorities. Authorities followed up and gave information to Twitter then

Google killing off products at the consumer or enterprise level has become such a meme. Won't surprise many of us if we ever hear of them announcing they're ending Search lol.

I was wondering why The LA Times would publish a story that seems intent on somehow linking 1970s threats of violence with the recent SVB issue. It was only after reading the article did I see the author has a book coming out on a "tec

Hmm. A commissioner appointed by Trump finds everything objectionable and makes outlandish claims when she can't emasculate the FTC? That might very well surprise no one.

The "Freedom Index" is a ranking by two right-wing bodies, the Canadian Fraser Institute and the US Cato Institute. Here is one of many articles that explains the Fraser Institute's right-wing leaning. https://cana

Some may see that story title as almost clickbait. An average bank clerk's salary in Kenya is about 30,000 Kenya Shilling per month which is about $241 US dollars. At $2/hour, the data workers were making around $280 US dollars pe

I think in any organization the size of NASA there will be politics and when it comes to a government body that depends on Senators for funding, even more. I think a very important element of the story is that now NASA itself has heavy-lift

I'm not sure if it was ever an official thing but I remember accessing their pages and speaking to their reps at conferences regarding Angular. For example, if you look at the Angular 1.2 docs, look at the bottom of the page here and y

For a company that operates at such massive scale for their own services, Google has some glaring oversights when it comes to enterprise services. I have a friend who volunteers as a webmaster for a charity org and they kept getting notices

I understand if Firefox has some issues for this bank but this is a public-facing site of a multi-BILLION dollar bank. TD Bank owns MBNA and their unwillingness to test and support Firefox seems to echo the comments in here that it's j

The timing of that update tweet is what gives pause for concern. If it were the same or similar thing as to what took down their network nationwide in April, it seems reasonable that they'd just say something like "Hey guys, sorry

Me neither, can't see "the obvious" reason for them not implementing this. Apple usually trots out "privacy" or "security" when people find their software lacking in terms of usability or convenience but I

So in Python, you can use Qt but I am not sure how their licensing works. You can give Tkinter a try in Python since it's a "default". Also there's Kivy but I don't have experience in that. As for Javascript, you ca
