Unfortunately, the answer is "yes." I have avoided doing that and the only way I moved "up" was first to move around, then to move into a consulting firm, then finally to my own corporation that is also a consulting fir

MBAs are mostly worthless people that get churned out of business schools and have no ability for independent thought. What did you expect?

Why the hate? Why do people want government to own their lives? Why do they (you) believe government contains solutions when we have observed with our own eyes it failing time and time again to produce worthwhile solutions to problems? A

Then why did they give the country to the people, then? Why did they make it democratic when they had the golden opportunity to create a monarchy or some other form of totalitarianism.

But most importantly, it is going to die now that it's political purpose is at an end. There will be no climate-based global collectivism.

Obama was the first President to have a war going for the entirety of his two terms. At best, I think he was completely spineless. So many times he could have stood up to the banker class and the war mongers, but he failed to do that. Now

America's forefathers were all wealthy men, it did not mean they were oligarchs. Was George Washington an oligarch? Jefferson? Madison?

I'd be fine with government doing as you describe. For my entire life, we have lived under a system that is not that. The overreach of government is immense and it has the effect of crushing the individual and their spirit. I'm

I hate to break it to you, but climatology is also an ideological movement.

Despite the derision on here, I think the answer is quite simply that the new executive branch wants to get its cabinet up and running and make sure that the messaging by these agencies is in line with the political positions of the leaders

As someone who came up through universities with the full traditional CS background, and as someone who has hired and been a tech lead over many developers, I can count only one person I know who didn't get a degree who is a great deve

My advice is unless you can locate jobs doing ML stuff, it simply isn't worth it.

I've never seen a CTO write any code. That's not their job.

Okay, so I'm equipped, but how do I find those jobs? By thew way, I'm making more than the 128 as a developer already, and not in expensive Cali, so is it even worth it? I think any time you're talking with c-suite type peop

The PhD is irrelevant. What is relevant is the experience of doing science in a rigorous fashion. Today's "data scientist in a box" lessons don't give people the basic understanding of how to approach a problem or even

I'm going to give you all a small dose of reality regarding Data Science. Are you ready? It's being hyped to the max to sell courses, books, seminars, and what have you. So far, the number of data science jobs available in most

Oh lordy. Did we not want to know the truth about a public figure? It was a service to all voters to have a full understanding of the person and the party and shenanigans and unlawful misdeeds. That kind of sunshine is always welcome and

Exactly--enforcing the laws that should be enforced is not the same thing as running cattle cars into extermination camps! The hysteria must stop.

This is a thinly-veiled "Bash Trump" article. It is purely speculative what the Trump administration will do at this point. Obama was shitty on civil liberties, Bush was the one who caused us so much harm to begin with. But if

What's funny is, all the farmers I have met were millionaires. I know that isn't strictly true, but many do very well for themselves. Land value has a lot to do with it, I suppose.

Better watch it, common sense is downvoted pretty hard here at HN! There are ways to better oneself without ever setting foot in a college or university. How did America's forefathers survive! I was the first person in my entire male

Or something...I'm not sure social welfare has done anything except create an ever-growing dependent class that must be paid to do nothing.

So to you it makes a difference whether some individual is represented at the .01% level vs. the .001% level?

Stop being so self righteous. Do you own a BMW or Audi? I do, and I'm totally polite driving mine. Also, when you have a car that handles and responds better you tend to drive it harder and you forget that everyone else is in some i

I don't completely trust the NTSA and I'm skeptical about auto-piloting cars but accept that more and more of those will be on the roads. I will never ride in a vehicle that lacks an override mechanism. In general, I think we a

Yeah, been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Bad management. The "unlimited" vacation policy is a trap, too. I don't go to places that offer that, it's a litmus test. Nowadays I do contracts and it's such a sim
