Seriously fuck this stupid shit. When I was there this fucker in India bribed my manager for a ticket to the US on L1 Visa as our new manager. Once there his only goal was to sell as many US-based jobs to Indians in India as possible. He kept telling me I had to set up meetings with India, set up one on ones with his buddy in India. Fuck that guy. Now there is no way in hell I would subject myself to a "jury" that had assholes like that on it. Sometimes you just have to realize your manager, your team, or your company are just unfixable shit and leave.
I think you are thinking about the US consitution and the 3-5ths compromise. Slaves were only considered 3/5ths of a person. At Amazon though non-managers are considered 0/5ths. You are stupid if you work there as a non-manager or you need the money.
Not at $35. I would get a zynqberry and learn fpga programming if I was serious about the form factor. Otherwise I would get a used server on ebay and max out the ram.
Really, REALLY flexible time. I only go to the office to socialize. I like to code late at night where nobody can bother me. I've quit strict "where were you at 8:00AM you need to call in if you are going to be late" jobs within weeks.
A doctor has to declare a person dead, paramedics can't do it. In all cases it makes sense to transport the body to the hospital where the person is pronounced dead by the doctor. Otherwise the family may argue in court the paramedics did not try enough to save the person.
Usually in reports, if someone dies at the scene but is only officially declared dead at the hospital, they'll write a phrase like 'was declared dead at the hospital'. This report says instead that he was transported to the hospital 'where he died from his injuries'. Double-checking, media articles at the time uniformly describe him as dying at the hospital, and at least one says that he died in the afternoon ( http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/03/27/tesla-crash-inve... ) while the accident was at 9:27AM, so either traffic in the Bay Area is even worse than I remember, they like to spend hours doing CPR on a corpse, or he did in fact survive the crash and died at the hospital in a literal and not legalistic sense.
Not legally true, as a paramedic. EMTs and paramedics are able to declare people dead in certain, albeit limited, circumstances, sometimes involving telephone / radio consultation, sometimes not.
Not true. First, disobedience rarely results in jail. There are many intermediate forms of punishment. For example, losing rank, salary privileges, formal write ups, extra work responsibilities, etc.
Also leaders tend to keep each other in check and are constantly being reviewed. If you're a bad leader in the military it is typically immediately apparent and gets changed at some point. Additionally, leaders are also in turn managed by other leaders.
You're also not guaranteed promoted just because of your time-in-grade, especially not for higher ranks (e.g. E-5 and above). You also can't just transfer into the military with a high rank, meaning you have to work earn it and work your way up. It's not a full-proof system of course, but it does a great job. If you forced me to call out one exception, I would consider the officer path to be a shortcut to leadership, though they are typically required to go to college and extra training. But clearly, they don't have the military time-in-grade. But you're day-to-day is not really ran by officers, so it's not quite as relevant. (I'm speaking for the Marine Corps leadership as that's all I know first-hand.)
Looking at the clearly sparse docs, Metal looks like some jackass's pet project. For people who get off on making everyone else use their system by systematizing the obvious and the already done, graphics apis have an allure. However, most people, let alone companies are not capable of replacing OpenGL and OpenCL.
The world out there pays HALF. Not everybody who works at Amazon is in their first job. Many people have worked in those other places and dealt with the personalities, the low pay, the excuses. Sooner or later people realize, "ok If I have to deal with this shit boss, shit business, shit industry at least I am going to get paid as well as possible."
"ok If I have to deal with this shit boss, shit business, shit industry at least I am going to get paid as well as possible."
Conversely, some people realize "Money isn't everything and I can find a job that is fulfilling and meets my needs without working for $SPECIFIC_COMPANY".
Never mind that, in the case of Google or Facebook in particular, that higher pay generally comes with a MUCH higher cost of living if you work in their "main" geographic area. You have to factor that in when figuring out what your real "disposable income" is going to be.
Anyway, again, I'm not saying "don't work for Google, Facebook, etc." I'd just caution anybody not to get too caught up in the hype of thinking that some (VERY) small handful of all the companies in the entire world, are automatically "the" place to work. I'm implore everyone to "Do your own evaluation and weigh everything on its merits and then decide."
>Never mind that, in the case of Google or Facebook in particular, that higher pay generally comes with a MUCH higher cost of living if you work in their "main" geographic area. You have to factor that in when figuring out what your real "disposable income" is going to be.
This is fake news.
You end up with more disposable income no matter how you slice or dice it. I grew up about where you live and went to your community college before I went to undergrad.
So I didn't realize until just now that you were literally talking about contemplating suicidal thoughts relative to your job situation. That's outside of my wheelhouse, so let me join the chorus of people saying "talk to a professional" (doctor, therapist, etc).
Thank you. This nonsense has been everywhere and it makes me very confused. Why would smart people from MIT/Stanford work at Google if it makes less money than working at IBM in a random suburb?
You'll have a higher CoL than living in Ohio, but you also won't live in Ohio. You can also work at either in NYC, easily afford living close enough for a walking commute, still come out ahead, and still not be in Ohio.
