I'm in the same boat. Funny how many people here are on the same boat. So many smart people but they feel like they can't prove themselves to land a job at another company. I feel that is one thing that stinks about our industry.

Billionaires think they are untouchable? Give me a break. Did Bloomberg go around interviewing people to find the most absurd quote. The poorer you are the more untouchable you are. Who's going to blackmail the bum around the corner.

I looked into removing it because I got sick of seeing similar recommended stories over and over. It's always about WearOS for me... Can't remove it, so next best thing is I scroll pass it.

I honestly can't imagine bug free software, even in critical software development. Luckily for me I've worked on important apps, but if there's an issue there is time to trace and repair the data...not a system that has 6 mil

I just finished the last 2.5 years replacing a somewhat complex legacy system. It's a lot of Spring Integration, JMS Queues in between (so technically, 'events') and a traditional relational DB. The system was deployed 6 mont

You can buy a soy milk maker from Asian grocery stores and control the sugar intake till you get it down to 0. You buy soy beans (very cheap, also from the Asian store) and soak it over night. Then you put the beans in the soybean maker and

In the beginning, FB was college students only, then high school... Then everyone. There was a FB group with a million users protesting the opening up of FB to their moms and grandmas. Some friends and I created an alternative social networ

His comment on magnet schools is interesting... Different areas must implement it differently. In south Florida magnet schools isn't just for smart people. High schools specialize in medical, engineering, law etc. and you can apply for

I'll admit I have limited knowledge on iPhone security... But would it be technically possible to do this with other apps? For example if one has Wechat, can there be a backdoor to be listened in on? Thinking about state actors...

I skip them completely. If after I've made up my mind and I want to examine a detail usually the vine reviews has details of the product (not how good it is)... Or there would be a video posted by a vine reviewer.

That seems high. My local Costco is $70 and I've walked by Walmart where they advertise exams and I don't believe it's $250... I also know of instances where you get charged more if you have insurance, just because the provid

Concerning the loss leader, that is correct. I should say from my Costco experience, I also got my duct glands checked. I don't remember getting that at Target/Lenscrafter the previous years. It was a few years since my last exam,

Did my vision exam last week at Costco. The Costco optometrist is independent from the eye glass department, which is owned by Costco and you need a member ID to buy from. The prescription had PD on there. When I used to do target or lens c

I'm a backend engineer with 10 years experience, and now a team lead. Everything I learned is through experience and piecing stuff together... This looks to be the book I'm missing! Thanks.

It's also possible someone quit. LinkedIn has/had a feature where you can find people who used to work at company X. I interviewed somewhere and got an offer. The work was up my alley, and the interview was a difficult but fair in

An engineer that did 4 years of college at an accredited engineering school isn't enough? What you are asking for, is a surgeon to retake the boards every time they change hospitals. Or a licensed professional engineer to retake the PE

No... It was part of the 2018 announcement. 2018 was better than expected so they revised 2019 forecast. "Early Friday, GM said 2018 EPS will exceed previous guidance of $5.80-$6.20. It also expects to surpass an earlier view of adjus

I work for GM (for now). 15% layoffs were announced before Christmas... No one knows when the ax will drop. Rumor is Monday or Tuesday. Moral is low and the office has been pretty damn quiet. Meanwhile we just raises earnings forecast today

I'm sure someone in management came up with the idea and said it will make a lot of money or get lots of customers. Anyone who said otherwise is a debbie downer and shunned. It also reveals their culture of speaking up. I don't se

I'm no Musk fan but he opened up all the Tesla patents so other manufacturers can use their intellectual property. Maybe he had ulterior motives... Don't know. But opening up patents is certainly the opposite of squashing innovati
