Discoverability and ease of use ARE serious functionality.

I don't get that mindset at all. I can see desiring a file/command line interface for settings, but to want no GUI option at all for others is just strange.

They wish for compensation for their work. Without that compensation, you don't get to see their work. What's wrong with that?

Maybe this is a good thing. After Trump's EPA guts clean air regulations, we'll all develop Alzheimer's, and we can forget that he was ever elected.

That's the conclusion of what you said. If you don't like it, then maybe you should rethink your position.

Ahh, the whole, "If your company is mistreating you, it's your fault" argument. So if I am forced to stay at a job due to having a family or not having a "Safety net" due to getting cancer or something, it's my

This is why they should be outright banned.

They might be bluffing. But considering you've just left your old job, most people are not willing to take that chance.

Same here. I worked on one project, that was a trash fire. I took a month away to kinda clear my head. I go back, and there really isn't anything available, except for React gigs.

Not a literal gun, but the requirement to have money to pay rent and buy food is a very symbolic gun.

"routinely hire people with a 6-months probationary period just to fire them the week before" That's not due to labor law. That's due to the boss being a complete asshole.

And I think they were pointing out that the market is not the solution to everything.

Here's something to keep in mind with all of this, though: These are ways to keep developers/IT happy. They are NOT to be implemented in lieu of pay, though. If we're not getting pay raises, we will jump ship.

Did you ask the other job about those things?

While yes, that newly minted physicist shouldn't be sent back upon receiving her diploma, the H-1B visa is NOT the program that's supposed to keep her here.

Not really, which is why I generally oppose special rules for startups. No way to make sure that it's bona fide startups using them.

Seriously, if these people don't have credit cards, and are paid mostly in cash, how do you expect them to have "magic internet money"?

Not a whole lot, actually. The people I work with are fun. I could totally be done with working on this project, though.

That transition was FAR different than the one we're faced with in the near future. People moved from agriculture to factory jobs, because there was still a massive need for labor. We don't have that today. Someone being displaced

I mean, when you're looking where to locate your company/factory, one of the things you have to consider is whether you can attract the type of workers you need. People on this board bag on those who live in NYC, SF, and other hig

Facebook bought it. Parse was highly coupled to AWS at the time. They spent some 3 years trying to get it to run on Facebook's cloud, and apparently failed to do so. Facebook decided to cut their losses, and shut it down.

Regular people don't get to "diversify" like that. He should be treated no differently. You get one country for citizenship.
297.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Because it's pretty clear that's why it is? Otherwise why get it, and why not renounce his US Citizenship after getting it?

by st3v3r 10y ago
Then why hasn't he renounced his US citizenship?

There was an interview on Fresh Air with the guy who wrote the story about the ultra-wealthy survivalists, and one guy he talked to. He was a VC, but I don't remember his name. He said, "With all the money you're spending on

No. This idea that the "left" ignored rural America is completely unfounded. The left did no such thing. The left did, however, choose not to make idiotic and unfulfillable promises that things would go back to the way they were w
