Perhaps at your institution, but where I consult it is much harder to fire an "at will" administrator than it is to fire an adjunct. Even one who took a month of unannounced vacation out of the country then retroactively declared

Are you aware that most non tenured positions require you to reapply every year for your job? Every 3 years if you are lucky. This in not a simple annual review like a normal job, this is you are fired at the end of your 1 year contract and

Let's say that was true and I am calling BS on it as I happen to consult in higher ED at an Ivy. Would it be a problem if it was true that someone with a phd and 3 or 4 years of additional research experience were to make the same sala

You might be able to cherry pick some outliers for sure. Just like at any company or institute. I can tell you from personal experience though that the going rate for a new hire full STEM professor with tenure at a prior institution was 95k

Adjuncts and lecturers dont do research nor do they typically do service. If one wanted to be educated by lecturers then they could attend a community college. That is of course a viable option but no tenure will be the kiss of death to any

ChatGPT is wicked cool, but it hallucinates authoritative answers. I would rather my family doctor not know of nor use nor be tempted to use it in relation to any medical advice my family receives.

Do you have any clients? Can you demonstrate demand? Can you articulate a clear problem that others agree exists and a clear solution? Are you sure you need investors? What will you use their money for that is worth giving up a likely subst

I find it funny though that there is a specific warning on that page the it is not to be confused with Large Language Model.

My apologies if I have misinterpreted your statements. Perhaps you could clarify what you meant when you said: " if you give a raise to one engineer, word will spread, and you'll have to give raises to all of them, and your burn w

I'm perfectly calm, you're the one firing employees because you don't like their "Christmas Wish List". Let's say that you didn't like that person's 75k ask (again it was a wish list). Until the slowd

If you ask people to generate a "Christmas wish list" and don't like the result you tell them thanks for their input but unfortunately you can't get them everything on the list. You literally asked for a wish list and fr

Some odd typos there for someone who is a managing partner and multiple time CEO. That aside, the trick here seems to be rather than attempting to retain employees, one should treat them as expendable and invest in office furniture instead.

When you read 268 in the article, that is 2^68.

How would it be remiss to omit these factors, several of which seen irrelevant. Are you suggesting that their proof be discounted because it might be divinely inspired?

by uberman 4y ago
Apparently there are some university math professors such as Lozano-Robledo who disagree with you. I can't say if their proof will hold up under real peer review but I hope it does.

"you may want engineers working on related systems to look at a video of a failure case"... and then share them as intra-company memes apparently.

Though this is the title of the article, I believe this is a false framing. I think a better title would be... "People of Denver choose to respect conservation easement rather than lift it to support major political donor." What k

Is this an april fool's day joke that they failed to pull off on time?

I disagree, but I'm not a lawyer. I would rather have said, Sorry I cant talk about this topic because of a conflict if interest with my current employer than to talk openly with them about what they or my current employer were plannin

What NDA if any have you signed? Note though whatever the answer, no matter what company you end up working with you could potentially put yourself or them in hot water. I would have told the company in the interview that your current emplo

Sure, my misread of what they said. However they as you say stored it in a drawer under their desk and only used it to debug software written long ago. They also said the last time they used windows was version 8. I think it perfectly reaso

by uberman 4y ago
Technically no, however it was in a drawer under their desk, they only used it to debug software written long ago and they state they have not used windows since version 8.

If you were going to download an os to install that you wanted your kid to be able to tinker with and reinstall and you had not used windows in 8 to 10 years why would you download windows 11 rather than ubuntu or Mint?

by uberman 4y ago
Something smells off about this. The author pulled an old laptop from under their desk and was able to install windows 11? Not likely in my experience. How did the author even get a windows 11 install since they claim they have not used win

Why is partial file ftp not the right answer in your mind? Unless the number is 2^something -1 and could just as easily be recalculated.

Many components of computation started as premium offerings and are now free or virtually free. Why would this be different?
