Seems like basic economic theory, the more capital you have flowing through the economy at a lower level, the more opportunities there are. Whereas these 8 people are siloing their wealth in investments, that same money divided up among peo

For plumbers, electricians and a few other trades you can become a journeyman apprentice in the US, and after a few years you can earn high 5 digits to low 6 digits with healthcare usually. That being said, its a mature industry and not hig

Its the power of capital over labor, whereby capital is extremely stratified in the hands of very few people, and they have shifted political power so as to avoid investment in the laborers (aka everyone below themselves) and ensure they do

That was my point, rather than research a topic and give the reader/viewer hard facts, major "news" orgs bring in opinion panels that degrade the conversation and add nothing of value.

I've seen people gain skills while working remote with a fully remote team. If the company culture encourages the employees to be social and talkative, you can learn as a junior dev working remotely. Offices may still hold the upper ha

There is an opportunity cost to commuting, while you might not value it at your full hourly wage, taking a job that pays slightly less but has a 30min commute round trip instead of 4 hours can have large health and wellness benefits, and al

Its the plight of the newsreader, whereby you add nothing when writing about a subject, do no research on it, and avoid thinking critically about the news you've been told to publish or read to the viewers on TV. Newsreaders are not jo

Sounds similar to the complaints about Firefox, though the only notable issues I've run into with Atom have been related to shared file editing (and resulting sync issues). If someone could just leverage etherpad lite with Atom, it&#x2

I was just looking at a DDR3L 8GB module for $43, but I could perhaps see the value in Sublime at $70 a license if it significantly improves on Atom, but as it is I've yet to even fully utilize all that Atom offers, or have pain points

After a certain point, the IP should enter the public domain. Traditionally, this would occur after a decade or two, but thanks to heavy lobbying by Disney, I doubt I will ever see Mickey the Mouse in someone else's cartoon :( Why shou

I'd advise you to leave the burning platform, Microsoft has pulled nearly all their development talent of Windows 10 Phone, hence why the Lumia 640 still has no wifi calling and desktop messaging integration is still broken. Additional

Well, it could be the wrong tool for the job, eg. I will likely never port my cell # to VOIP, its not gonna save me any money to do so. Another aspect is the employee doesn't want to think of work when doing something else. For over a

Ugh, I've been trying to tell my friend that, but he won't even invest in the most minimal of GPUs.

by posguy 10y ago
IIRC it can give a 30% to 40% performance boost on APU based systems, as the increased bandwidth to the GPU allows for much faster processing. Alternatively, Intel decided to put a few hundred megs of cache on their iGPU, which has made the

Over the past decade, the memory market has been flooded with cheap chips, causing most players in this market to lose value while breaking even or making a slim profit on memory sales. Hopefully, Apple is planning to single source or major

Definitely, there are a ton of ways to end a relationship, whether it be an employment relationship or social one. I prefer short & definitive endings myself, so long as I'm ready for it to end. Letting a bad relationship hang on i

Yeah, a fair vesting schedule should evenly vest as you work, ideally as often as possible (eg: every month or week). Its akin to compounding, as a savings account holder you want the interest on your account to compound as often as possibl

Ah, that makes more sense, was trying to figure that out. I've usually waited a bit before quitting so I could line up a new job when I've been an employee witnessing a coworker get beat down on by management needlessly.

by posguy 10y ago
Its just another form of indenturing workers, by holding these ballooning stock vesting schedules over their heads in the uneven employer/employee relationship. The employer gets stability from the employee, while being able to fire th

Huh? Sure, the employee could sit through the CEO taking a dump on them in front of their coworkers, but if the employee has other options for employment, I'd say there isn't a usually solid reason to stick around a hostile work e

Yeah, I think Tanium's ultimate issues are their firing of employees to prevent vesting (and thus erosion of control of the company) and actions by the CEO whereby he berated an employee in front of the employee's team. You piss o

Definitely, heat dissipation and power envelope limitations on laptops are still a major issue, but with power gating coming standard on most chips and very aggressive p states, average power usage is down by double digit margins on your av

The power states and performance per watt have gone way up too, in 2007 power gating CPUs was not commonplace, and Intel was just starting to optimize for performance per watt (especially in the low power laptop/tablet market). What ve

Yeah, but it seems like Nintendo could just move to a slightly newer SoC (say the Allwinner H3) with the same software stack and keep putting these out at a $2 premium to cover the more expensive SoC. A similar board to what was in the NES
