This is for their employees, not all people. Also, they are not doing this to be nice to their employees, they need to maintain their management pipeline. They are using this to grow the management ranks internally. I work for an engineerin

It is for only 2 degrees from 3 schools, so not likely. It feels like this will be for managers or soon to be managers.

Maybe not Pac-Man, but a lot of the arcade games in the mall from my generation (40yr old) had the "Continue" option and there was no way to win the game on one quarter. It was cheap to play but expensive to win.

From the American eye, Paris != Afghanistan Afghanistan is considered more of a war zone and a home for extremists. Paris is considered more of a vacation destination and the city of love.

Typically "4 people" would equate "2 Americans". Granted, big cities tend to have lighter people than rural areas, so it is less of an issue. Or we an always American size it.

"Skype for Business" is not Skype, it is a re-brand of the Messenger tool they already had. It is super obvious once you start dealing with the API.

Residential electricity is less than half of the electricity used in California. Solar may slow down the electrical generation growth needs, but I doubt it will shut down any generators. (Except for some peak usage gas generators). http:&#

Programming has a very low barrier to entry compared to those other careers. If you are bright enough and determined then you do not need a formal education to do well in SW development.

I hit 40 this year and when I was in college it was full of people going into programming due to the pay. A lot of the people that did it for pay alone did not last long. Programming is very frustrating if it does not click and you enjoy th

My only motivation is others. I would not do well in a solo work environment. The main driver for me to even clean my house is for my son.

I think that is the point. Hedge words show that you are aware and accepting that everything/everyone is not out to get you.

The company's estimates and outside analyst's estimates are two different things. When they agree then I think the price gets reflected quickly, when they disagree it opens it up for more volatility.

Agreed, we use headless browsers for automated regression testing and adding a check on production would help ensure that testers don't goof and test in the wrong environment and test that developers don't hard code URLs that caus

I ran across this in Georgia once. A forest where there was once a rice field (during slavery days). I thought the terrain seemed a little different than surrounding areas and started researching. If you leave an area idle for long enough n

You are confusing legality with ethics. Ethically, Uber has a lot to be desired. Uber is a US based company and will try to follow the capitalistic model as much as possible unless restricted by local laws. I would never make an assumption

I have employees and contractors working for me and we have very strict rules on what contractors can do, how you interact with them and when they might be considered employees. The company I work for wants to stay clearly on the legal side

Then the government that made the contractor vs employee laws needs to apply it. If a law is not enforced then it is not really a law. Companies are not obligated to do better than enforced laws, they are not charities or social organizatio

Depends on where you live. In some large cities there is a maximum number of taxis allowed. They have get permits/medallions to operate. In these cities where Uber is not considered a "taxi" they can operate as many cars as t

If you had the option to hire one of two people that will do the same job at the same performance level and one costs you $10 an hour and the other $20 an hour, which one do you choose? Is it the company to blame for picking the $10 an hour

One of the main reasons I bought the LG V20. With easy to swap batteries, I plan to replace them every year or two and maintain a good screen time.

That would be a different kind of "monopoly". The government (usually local) granted rights to a single provider in an agreement that they install connections to a minimum user base or geographical area. What would happen otherwis

I'm not knocking CF, it put food on my dinner plate for many years. I used to use fusebox (MVC with all the terms renamed) and had manageable code. I could knock out a CF based web app much faster than I can today with C# ASP.NET. The

I doubt there are many new companies starting to use CF, but it was a good option in 2001 when CF5 came out when compared to PHP4, ASP3, or CGI from those days. Companies that have a decade of CF code is not going to just replace it all bec
