The way you treat exiting employees is just as important as how you treat them when they are still there from a recruiting perspective. If you treat someone well when they decide to leave, they are more likely to recommend your company to

On the surface yes, in reality no. The only reason the road is built is to get the goods out of the mines. They extract the resources, leave and then there is no money to fund maintenance. Once again with no local jobs being created.

I'm not sure about what the situation in Kenya is, but what I can speak to is what I've seen in Botswana and Costa Rica. In essence the Chinese will come in to invest in something or give a gift of something like a road, mine,

Startups have already been in a position of being able to do this. Basically another way to reduce the cost of engineers. After all, it's not a sustainable business unless your MBA's and management are making many multiples of

I met the CEO and had a chance to talk with him.... from that interaction I would definitely not want to work him. YMMV

I really hope that the Oracle VS Google thing might encourage Google to release a new official language for Android that is not Java.

Good for Hawaii! Georgia went the other way. My advice to anybody is to not sign them if you are asked to. They are bad for everybody.

oops, missed that. Hmmm, that is a bit concerning. Wonder if they are all from the same manufacturing run.

Sounds like you have a bad battery. This can happen with any device with a li battery. You shouldn't need to quarantine all of the devices.

This is probably why the Atlanta startup scene has taken off. If you look at the area it is saturated with sales and MBA folks. They all beat their chest about how great Atlanta is for tech and how it is emerging. But in reality it, alo

If you think the US labor laws are really strict try going to Europe, South Africa etc.. You will soon find that they are actually pretty lenient.

From the glass-community forums they are not shutting down and will still support existing warranties etc..... My understanding is that there are some exciting things in store for the platform.

Overall I like this approach. If this is an honest oversight and they take actions to rectify it then that is the best. If, on the other hand, they ignore it then I would let the public and everyone else know because there are a bunch o

I'd love to see something along the lines of the chromebook pixel, but with more memory and a larger ssd. I have one running crouton, but because of those two limitations I don't use it as often.

I love Ruby and I love Matz. With that being said there are some things that Ruby struggles with. I know that there have been some conversations among the core on bringing in more functional concepts to Ruby....at least since April. To me

The we have investors is a BS argument. If I shop at Amazon.com I am bound by their TOS. Your agreement is your Terms of Service for working with you. Sign someone else's agreement at your own peril.

Sounds like the same argument being used for more H1B visas. We cant find enough (cheap) resources locally so we need to import some from elsewhere willing to work for a pittance.
