to be fair, I've been coding for 8 years and have never coded in a Windows operating system outside of an IDE, and in general I don't use either, and have not since Computer Science 1. For a job, I had to get python working on Win

yup, basically kept getting increases in pay (but not promotions or authority to change the situation I was in for the better) to stay. Don't take the bait. it's an admission that they know you are more valuable than you are being

I see this happening alot. Basically government needs smart people like this to step in and rescue things when things go wrong, but they don't by any means want people like this changing the company culture or inconveniencing other peo

I think this more like prioritizing minimum to desired requirements for your own self versus others. For example, my boyfriend and I are both engineers but hes working at a place short term over the summer with a 3 hour time difference. I w

yeh, as a female this has been a long learning experience for me. Raised in the deep south, our job is to ease political and social tensions and be as accomodating as possible, literally waiting around to see how we can pitch in and help to

the big thing here is the struggle between companies like amazon google apple who have tons of applicants, and a startup who has less applicants, and less experience from hiring false positives and identifying false negatives. They acknowle

Its so true, if you have skills and high standards for your work environment, you can walk straight out of these jobs in to other ones. I don't have issues getting jobs, I've just become understandably picky about new prospects fo

Thank you for saying this. Honestly, probably could have cut a total of four years of waste out of my life by just knowing the company was not a good fit for me. I used to stay at a place and say "Ok, maybe its me, what can I do to put

True, but none of those things make you better versions of yourself. Those are easy to market because they are there when you are weak, for a reasonable price, and its easier to indulge in these things than invest in yourself. They are all

oh no worries dude, we get the same thing as girls too. Girls are marketed overpriced clothing and makeup, but in all honesty the only thing that makes the models attractive in those clothes is their investment in their diet, and long term

"results suffer while the ideological conflict is enhanced" exactly. The most disconcerting part about the state of American politics is the focus on a predecided ideology of the other party being wrong. proving the other party wr

yeh but in this case you can't recreate the culture or advantages of silicon valley anywhere, you can go be overqualified somewhere else where people don't know anything about code and will pay you to do magic, but that's not

yeh but you also just said youve resigned to being a slave, and I'm not going to bash our generation for wanting to imagine a world where we are not slaves to a bank forever.

I'm not arguing with you on any of these points. I'm not saying its fair. I'm saying I think the biggest tech companies now never had the intention of opressing poor people and we have as a society found ourselves, as we alwa

I agree with you despite the level of skill its still requires alot of continual learning and mobility. However, it takes alot longer to become a doctor than a software dev, as in more required schooling. Here are a few other things to cons

I get what youre saying logicially and in general I don't disagree with you, but I want to pose a new way of thinking about this that may be unique to times previous and see what people think, because its a forming idea in my head, and

Its true. I worked in the semiconductor industry where they retrain coal plant workers and up the pay to grab techs from navy subamarines to get them working in high tech manufsctoring plants. They dish out money to relocate them, buy out t

hmm, Well, I was specifically referencing the top 5 biggest tech companies, and the pay may seem low to the people who have been working there fresh out of college but its still relatively high pay compared to most other industries with peo

This is true, high skilled employers have lots of trouble finding high skilled workers, and one of the main economic incentives driving gender and ethnic equality in high tech work places is the disadvantage of not being able to have the ma

What about the fact that the average infiltration of technology for a company to utilize is higher than the 90s, so low to average skill, and even some high skill jobs are being exported to the billions of people willing to do the job for a

Sure. Rotor and stator materials: copper or aluminum for windings and laminated steel for cores. For Tesla, but for doubly fed generators in wind turbines? Are you sure? I don't think so. For the Prius, 25ibs of rare earth metals, wind

It was definitely undercut by the chinese, they have control of 95% of the worlds rare earth metal production and the U.S. having their own internal source is a huge threat to their ability to cut exportation, skyrocketing prices exponentia

ok umm doubly fed induction motors, wound rotor generators, and asynchronous generators actually all have rotors and stators which are comprised of rare earth metals.... Unless rotors and stators are made from something else? What are the r

This is interesting. I am an Electrical Power Engineer, and at my tech school, our Senior Thesis projects are essentially real Engineering firms coming to the school and assigning a group of engineers to work on a project they are actually
