This sounds like a large percentage of tech conferences today which have become thinly veiled political organizations.

The biggest problem with a large number of tech conferences is that the speakers are not qualified to speak and, as a result, have lower quality attendees, but often charge $700+ for tickets, hotels, time off etc.. Some egregious examples i

--A bit of a Rant--- I would argue that politics have infiltrated tech too much already. Don't believe me, try being a open, vocal Trump supporter or conservative at a major tech company in Silicon valley. You will be labeled a hateful

That was my impression when I saw them speak at the Atlanta Tech Village.....granted that place tends to attract those types but....

It's one thing if we are talking about their actions that are part of being a community leader. IE: if a Drupal leader showed porn during a talk at a Drupal conference. It's another to say that their personal actions outside of th

This is the same logic I used to hear friends, who were priests from the Catholic church, use to rationalize certain beliefs that were on the extreme right. In reality it's using philosophical doublespeak to rationalize a view that you

It's complicated if you are driving an agenda. Otherwise you can conduct things in the open. In my experience the secret tribunals enable bad behavior and bullies.

I've seen HR departments give severance in scenarios like this in exchange for legal gag order. It may not be ethical, but it is legal in many states and does happen. There is Karma, but that is another story.

wanna know why tech companies are anti-Trump and against his immigration ban? Because they actually care about immigrants and human rights or because it will affect their bottom line. Hint, follow the money.....

Outside of SV, in the rest of the country I have spoken with a number of people in IT recruiting who told me that a this has driven down wages. Especially when they opened the door for the L1 visas. Wanna know why so many SV firms are again

Irrespective of one's opinion. The part relating to H1B visas is likely to be targeted under the new administration. The part about the white males, not as likely.

From the map it looks like the US trade imbalance with China and the EU (imports more than it exports).

While I do think that interviewing is broken, I would love to see the raw data with this. For example, did Udacity courses have other related traits associated with them, IE: did these candidates that also have a certain number of years

The Pico is a half a gig of ram. That is not micro-controller size, but it is still a little better.

I'm not sure I would call these platforms micro-controllers. With that being said there is support for weave on a select number of micro-controllers.

Six sigma is definitely that way, especially when you consider that, like AA, it is a 12 step program. On a side note if you put the two lists next to each other six sigma almost looks like a dispassionate generalized version of AA ...

It's like design patterns, scrum etc.. When the tool is used correctly it is awesome. When it's mis-used it becomes a cargo cult style liability. With TDD a large part of the religion thing comes from people like Uncle Bob. I

Ah, ATV. I know a lot of tech people in town who will not touch that place with a 10 foot pole. Might partially be because it is in Buckhead which is a very pretentious neighborhood. Lots of men buttoned up shirts, suits, women in pen

Both myself and others who have been involved in the community share this sentiment. Straight up if you have a startup and want to get funding, getting funding in Atlanta will mean a less favorable term sheet and not as many connections t
