The 11 million count is about 10 years old. The feds won't or can't release accurate numbers, though other estimates are at least double that.

> So the choice we make... Again I don't really see how this is a difficult ethical decision. Did it ever occur to you that the government of the US works for the United States citizens who pay their salaries? If you would like to t

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm. On most of the laptops I've purchased, the COA is usually placed within the battery case. At worst, the bottom of the unit. Who even notices a sticker there? And actually, I just purchased from Del

It turns out white collar workers are the same. How many IT staff, engineers, accountants, legal workers, and dozens of other professions have watched, glass-eyed, while their whole departments have been shipped to India, Philippines, and L

Thanks for the tip. I have been blocked on xfinity also while using my VPN. I will try TCP instead of the default UDP.

Yes. I've been getting thrown into the team lead position quite a bit as I've gotten older. I get tasked with delivering arbitrary deadlines for impossible features and timelines to my team and managing the outcomes. There really

Great answer. And even if you don't buy into the morality bit, those in charge figured out long ago that giving the little people a job, regardless of how pointless or wasteful, is better and cheaper than having to constantly deal with

No I think you should do what you want; it certainly isn't the job of young male engineers to make sure everyone else is included in their environment. God knows that other groups were never especially inclusive to many of 'us&#x2

Nothing wrong with it at all. But realize that companies do not give you these 'perks' like free food, games, laundry, etc. as a bonus. It is to keep you at work for more and more hours. Honestly, I don't think it is a bad th

Spot on. A majority of the HN crowd is in their 20's. They're making around 6 figures (albeit in a very high COL area) while their peers are still in grad school, slinging it out in the gig economy for peanuts, or even living at h

Yep. I realized today that in my office of about 30 employees, there are about 2 windows machines, 2 devs running Linux, and the rest running MacBooks. All of our servers are CentOS on AWS. Email is Gmail enterprise. We use a dozen diffe

Interestingly, I've been a hardcore Dell fan for many years with many tens of thousands of dollars in purchases - home and work. I bought an outlet Latitude two weeks ago. It came with Win 8 which is awful. It would not run Win 7, no m

There are plenty of technical solutions to this problem. None that will not dissuade potential paying customers, though.

I've had to deal with Python for a long time. I even wrote my senior research project with it in college. But since then, I've never really had a need to use it, and I don't even feel there is a good reason for it. If you&#x2

Not sure if you're from the US, but condos are usually apartment like dwellings that people do own outright. They are cheaper than houses of a similar size, but, at least where I live, the HOA fees negate about 50% of the difference in

Neither Java nor C# are really adequate for 'systems' programming problems, assuming the term is being used colloquially - OS level problems using system API calls, process, threads, etc. Both Java and C# are really more suited to

The US has far more diversity than most of the Western European nations, though this is obviously changing. Socialism really doesn't work here as well when 'other' people are getting more benefits than you. I'm sure part

Seems like the XPS is just as expensive as a T series Thinkpad. I don't understand why the XPS is so popular compared to similar priced business grade Thinkpad and Latitudes.

I'm one of those people that just can't tolerate ugly fonts. It drives me insane. I recently got a MBP and the fonts are great. In 2016, Linux needs this fixed.

Agreed. I run Fedora as my main VM and it has been pretty damn solid. I tried dual booting and had some NVidia problems, but otherwise it was okay. It is 80% there, and if I didn't just get a MBP from work, I'd probably spend some

You're downvoted but absolutely correct, even though you offended the easily-triggered HN crowd. 3 of my 4 grandparents are now passed, and there is absolutely no way they would have been able to be a net asset in any actual profit dri

Thanks for the answer. This is in the price range I've heard, and I've also learned that IVF is certainly no silver bullet - it is a gamble with decent, but not gimme, odds.

Thanks - I did not know these were still sold. I usually look on EBay for a new one, and $700-$800 (with no tax) is a price point that I'd be willing to pay. I've never seen a new i7, though. At $1300 (with tax), I could get a pre

This is a good article, and the same thing could be said with regard to offshoring, H1Bs, etc. Very profitable companies have gotten away for years with the tired argument of not enough talent. It is easy for engineers to fall for the line,
