That's insane. I would never want to work in a country with laws like that. Market rate is based on what something worth, not what it costs or what it previously cost so there is no reason for a company to need to know what you previously

If they're going to retract over a couple of grand that means they're insanely cheap. Why would you want to work for an insanely cheap company?

Good points. I would say that it's better to have too much, so long as I can ignore the bad parts (e.g. checked exceptions) than not enough as in C. I also disagree about exceptions. It does make control flow trickier to follow, but the p

>that C is superior to full-blown C++ Couldn't disagree more. C++ has a much better type system than C. For many C++ programmers (myself among them) C++ was less about OO and more about giving C programmers the ability to create new t

Again, I just don't agree with this. I think non-English speaking groups are expanding enough that there is plenty of opportunity out there without knowing English. No, you wont get to be an officer in an English speaking US company but t

Cisco's always been honest like that. I don't care too much for their products or strategies but I admire the honesty within the company. After the bubble popped the company I was in came up with this idiotic new plan: if you want a raise

Online is a different world. Don't assume those who "get" brick and mortar can also "get" online. When walmart first chose to go online they realized this might be a problem and hired a group out of California (this was during the dot com

I want to vote up the last part of your comment (importance of culture and recognizing how awful forcing people to be monolingual is) and not vote on the top part. I know someone who lives in Colorado who said there is a town there where on

If you're a fan boy then you're almost certainly neither enlightened nor correct.

I'm pragmatic as well. What I find frustrating about this blatant Google fanboy-ism is that it is hypocritical on its face: any normal company thing they do gets trumpeted as "don't do evil! Weeeeee!" and every evil thing is defended wit

Disgusting that a post questioning Google gets voted down like this. Also you forgot where they made a big stink about China, claimed they were pulling out and.... didn't.

Why does it matter? Google is an entity. Even if they only mean to use patents defensively today that doesn't say anything about what they will do 5 years from now.

If your complaint is about politics work, then I would agree. Otherwise, I personally find it more troubling that some people say "well, I haven't spent 20 years studying this I guess I just have to believe what I'm told". You can't just b

We do need to pursue it, but a short-term oriented market based system just can't do it. There is too much financial risk in the kind of research that needs to be done. And if you do ever manage to produce anything, everyone else can just

There is an insane amount of money in drugs. Some of this money can be used to erect barriers to entry against such profit seekers. I don't know that that's the case, but it could be speculated at least.

I wish I could vote up your first paragraph and vote down the rest. Given how little real science has ever been done on the subject why are you so confident about causes? You can't get a 6 pack by exercise, you have to eat correctly.
