Is there no H1B program for regional airline pilots? Becuase it works wonderfully in Corporate IT.

Regulation of industry creates government jobs. The governing body will not relinquish its regulatory capacity without a fight. The taxis are more likely to get Uber regulated then they are to get themselves deregulated. Rememebr that the government is itself an interested party. It isn't Uber Vs. Taxis. Its a triangle.

If your candidate want's to talk about health benefits, and want to compare with other companies, then they're likely going to be comparing several factors: out-of-pocket per pay period, copays, deductibles, HSA matching, worst case exposure (limited or unlimited liability), etc.

It takes some time to work up the spreadsheet, but they'll come to find that the high deductible+ HSA (with matching) is better for them in the long term then the PPO with lower per pay-period premiums.

But yes, if they are inclined to delve that deeply pre-employment, then it probably makes sense to have a conversation with them about why you chose what you provide as a benefit over the other options that were available.

The high cost of health care and the high follow-on cost of insurance make this a very real thing. I know I take it seriously and often get eye-rolls form across the table when I ask about it pre-acceptance.

Too bad that column doesn't have a unique constraint on it.

By what objective criteria did you decide "disgusting mashup of a language?"

Please rank several other languages by the same criteria so we can judge your objectivity.

A special pig like that, you don't eat all at once.

One person's cynical pessimism is another person's realism borne from 20+ years of professional experience.

I prefer "yes, if" but reality says that the "ifs" will never be made part of the planning and then blame will come back to you because you said "yes"

I find it similar to the "estimates" of when we'll finish something, that get turned into hard delivery deadlines once the project scribe commits them to the first draft of the project plan.

So they make a tin foil hat for the satellite dish and it actually blocks the signals?

Right to vote vs right to Psuedoeffedrine?

In Ohio, the law at a four-way stop is: one car, rotating clockwise around the intersection. NOT whoever got there first.

and the cycle will repeat. all those vacancies arising from the departure of disgruntled employees, being filled by new employees, disgruntled elsewhere, but soon to be disgruntled at the new shop, because the shop will never change.

Management must always believe themselves to be infallible, and beyond the reproach of the rank and file. Employees who vote with their feet are 'disloyal'. Why is that? The fundamental power imbalance in the employer/employee relationship.

You're always lucky if you can find somebody who worked for a place that's hiring and can find out their opinion. Places can't fill open positions for a reason. Sometimes it's because they just won't pay. But other times, it's because they've garnered a reputation as not being a particularly good place to work. They'll just end up lowering their standards until they attract somebody in their hiring range, and then (mis)treat them just as they did their predecessor, until they too leave.

and in their managerial meetings, they'll complain about the workers.

People with power will do everything they can to keep their power. That includes pepper spraying peaceful protesters, forbidding them form using public address systems, or yes, charging people with terrorism in order to stifle descent. It is sad, but not surprising.

I love how the company didn't get mentioned in the headline, but Uber did.

A pen testing article that advocates using xhost?

Think of it this way: Slashdot is the giant's shoulders that Digg and Reddit and HN stand on.

It's twice as hard to convince one cofounder to screw the other out of their equity when they're married to each other.

Special case treatment invites lawsuits by those who do not get special treatment. Lawsuits are bad (expensive) for public school districts already struggling to fund teaching programs. No special treatment, no lawsuits.

In Appalachia, they have Skyline Chili. I accept your surrender.

In the olden days, when we trusted each other, (and had to send our mail uphill, in the snow, both ways), we had the VRFY command, and you could connect to an SMTP server and ask it to verify a username.

Most admins disable VRFY these days, and rightly so.

The market is not rational. To not ascribe rationality to the market. Do not anthropomorphize the market.

Software users not having a comprehensive understanding of the technical complexities of their software is nothing new. It is, in fact, the status quo , as anybody who does IT work for a living can attest.

That WP should have built-in caching, I cannot argue, but once the choice is made to use it, it becomes the chooser's problem.

Wordpress has good caching available. This is the owner's failure, not WP's.

The sock puppets love their astroturf upvotes.

The context, without further comment, allows the reader to be informed of the perspectives and possible biases of the author. I ask "How that is not relevant?"

From now on I'm going to refer to myself as a judge.

Yes, but AirBnB has a database. All of the violators are just an SQL query away from being discovered.

I wonder if the AG will threaten AirBnB with abetting crime of conspiracy, or some other BS in order to coerce complince....

> Why does it matter that he might not have missed an "opportunity" to be a billionaire?

Because Forbes is a magazine that is published by billionaires, for billionaires.

If I had an office, with floor to ceiling walls, and a door that closed and even locked, I would like it very much.
