Value is relative and it is in the eye of the beholder, much like beauty. Where I want to get is that 12k might sound much but in US the same people would pay almost double sometimes for a car.

The comment can be considered a meaningful contribution as well. Dialog is not only information but also flow enablers and/or facilitators. The fact that (s)he expressed sympathy/approval might show that others think the same, wh

The article advised just that: state the salary range that would be ok for you. In your example, you could have said just that: my current experience makes me feel comfortable with a range between X and Y. Serves both yours and the recruit

It would be the reasonable thing to do. The problem I see is when the "altered" car crashes into a stock one onthe road. The un-altered car's owner might sue on the grounds that there no proper controls on the modified car&#x

Now it makes sense that Google just announced that they're stopping Glass from being sold retail. They did not want to have their device compared to the new product from MS. Actually I see this new device as more prone to success than

The value proposition needs to be right. So far, tech companies only propose to let people come and work, for 3 to 6 years. There is no guarantee made to the exceptional programmer that the company will apply his/her green card, and he

At the moment .NET is making great inroads into all mobile platforms (mainly due to Xamarin's iOS and Android platforms). The one area where Microsoft needs to push more i son the server side: to be able to develop ASP.NET apps and pu

For them to invest serious resources into a Mono fork and also in a proprietary solution (il2cpp) shows that they do not believe in a deal for a license of their liking, whatever the reasons: interpersonal or purely monetary.

Unreal's model of subscription+5% of top revenue becomes a real nice deal when coupled with Mono. All o fthe sudden there is room for C#/.NET devs to be able to contribute to the platform. It should be a nice boost for UE4's

Unity has negotiated a license with Novell. Now they would have to do it again with Xamarin for the newer version of Mono. But we don't know if Unity was really nice to the Mono guys when Novell pushed out what would quickly become Xam

When unity got their mono license xamarin wasn't yet a business, hence the license was most likely zero.

I suspect the issue is related to the licensing fee which might be on a per dev seat and hence might not fit unity 3d's business model. Unless there is a hard stop issue, business wise, it won't happen.

In your assessment I would switch out GOOG with MSFT. To me Microsoft is the better one at doing retail cloud than Google. Even Apple is using MSFT for their cloud backbone. Apple is not selling cloud directly to consumers, but every app&#

When the cheap money stop that's when the adjustment happens. Until then, as Fred said, they have to keep on dancing. And eyeballing intensely the next empty chair.

It says something when the money people (VCs) complain high real estate rents: changes might be afoot. It is possible that the property owners feel/know that the current situation is untenable and that new properties will be allowed to

I thought that the big issue with the current system is that every transaction uses the whole set of identifiable info (name, cc number, exp date, etc). Credit cards with chips solve the issue, but in US it would take costly upgrades acros

ApplePay is only on iPhone 6. This means that the availability rate for this technology will get into (tens of) millions in a couple of years, based on the update cycle with the phone carriers. Realistically we're talking 2-4 yrs. Ple

Here are a few arguments: 1. 12k out of the 18k employees let go are from Nokia, hence not in US 2. Out of the 6k presumably US employees let go, we don't know their functions: marketing, sales, etc. We just assume in bulk they are IT

The trick with your suggestion of making data more portable is that if Amazon or any other platform provider would do so, then it would create a race to the bottom in terms of price. This would make the business quickly unappealing for the

SQLite will definitely benefit from this. So far it seems the space for SQLite DB admin is pretty sparse, despite its high usage in mobile apps.

Out of those 1 mil people that get in only 140000 (14%) are employment based. The majority is family-based. H1Bs are not the bulk of that 1mil per annum, not by far.

The only thing now is to ask your company to sponsor your green card as soon as you can. They might want to postpone it for a few good years but it is up to you to negotiate.

Brian Acton's rejection by Facebook is used as a pro argument for the idea that tech companies are just pretending to not find qualified candidates, when there are plenty. I am not sure which way it is but the argument used is flawed.

Windows 8 is great once you learn two shortcuts: First, Win+Q for searching and starting any program you need. Second: Win+R to get to the Run window. With these two you just move very fluidly to where you need to be on a Win 8 machine.

Nokia has the hardware chops to produce good Android phones (in the same league as Samsung). At the same time, Nokia also has the software development chops to polish the Android platform to its liking. I doubt the phone will be a simple AO

This is not to stop theft. I can wipe my phone remotely right now if my phone is stolen. The goal is to secure the phone so that all the info on it is not accessible if the owner is not there. Especially considering that more and more the

It can be tricky and getting murkier quick: what if Google comes back with an argument that that data scientist would not have been able to produce those $2-3 mil without the resources and the infrastructure made available by Google? Would
