I don't know???

A lot of the examples they give, whether it is in a factory or in some sort of repair tech capacity, make it seem as if FLEXIBILITY is the issue. I think they are testing to make sure that the candidates have some requisite base level understanding of the principles underlying the technology to be able to adapt to any changes in higher level essentials that may need to be made in the field or on the floor. (My reading could be wrong, but I doubt it.) If what Seimens et al want is the ability to be flexible, I can certainly understand why they skew towards candidates with college degrees. Frankly I've found that college grads absorb new technological principles far more easily that tech school grads. If your tech won't change, the tech school grad is fine. But if you think things may shift in the future, you're going to need some college grads. (Just my experience, YMMV.)

Maybe we should be thinking about how to "teach" more "flexibility", (if that's even possible?), at the high school and college level. We would need to have a better understanding of it though.

I know companies are calling it "flexibility"...
but consider...
is it more "adaptability" companies are looking for? Or is it actually "creativity" that they are seeking?

Is it both?

I don't know if we have a good understanding of that right now???

Whatever college is doing to confer that flexibility to its graduates is what we need more of. If we want to change high school or tech school in the future to confer that ability, that would be fine. But you have to keep in mind that Seimens needs workers today, not in the future. So the only solution they have TODAY is to mandate college degrees.

ISIS are more of a threat to the Saudi ruling elite than they are an ally. The Saudis essentially pay their population off with oil revenues to buy peace domestically. If oil prices start to dip, revenues dry up (although they have an admittedly large bankroll to fall back on, but it's not infinite). And if they can't buy peace, suddenly Saudi Arabia is fertile ground for radical militant-Islamic groups like ISIS.

In this context, it's interesting to consider the growth of US Shale Oil and the lifting of sanctions on Iran, who apparently have made an agreement with OPEC, on which the Saudis took a production hit just to get it over the line (iron clad, because it's not like anyone has ever defected from an OPEC cartel agreement...)

I don't think it's that simple. If you have a factory in the middle of Iowa you can't offer $110k/yr and expect people from SF or NYC to move out there, despite the huge gains relative to COL. I think a larger point of the article is that apprentice/blue collar jobs have a social stigma around them, particularly among people who already have degrees, and that artificially limits the applicant pool.

How many people here would quit writing software to work in a factory if it paid more? I'm guessing not many.
I do agree with you. But my biggest conclusion is Trump is super smart.

Trump is super smart to play an outsider role because he knows how desperately people looking for an outsider, but at the other hand DNC and Obama were stupid enough to not get it. He is an insider as much as Clinton. But he is way smarter than DNC, Clinton, Obama.

God, I missed Bernie.

How about mp3.coms "Beam-It' offering:

https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/1999-...

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has sued both MP3.com and Napster on behalf of the record labels that they represent (Sony, BMG, EMI, Universal, and Warner). They are keen to point out thought that they are not against MP3 technology, but against the illegal use of it. MP3.com is being sued for their Beam-it online service which allows users to insert a CD into their disc drive, and then download those songs in mp3 format from MP3.com's database of over 80,000 CD's. The RIAA sued them claiming that the company was violating copyright laws by allowing users to download copyright-protected songs. On April 28th, New York District Court Judge Jed Rakoff sided in favor of the RIAA, ruling that MP3.com was liable for copyright infringement. On May 4th, a federal court also sided with the RIAA. According to Cary Sherman, general counsel for the RIAA, "The foundation on which these services are built is an unauthorized digital archive of the most valuable copyrighted recordings in the world. Frankly, it's astonishing that a publicly-traded company would behave so recklessly."

Man, I'm working out of an office in an industrial area in New Delhi, India.

Literally across my office is a scrap metal dealer. He has about a dozen guys literally hammering metal to flatten it storing it.

This is work that can be done in minutes by a simple machine. But he has 12 people doing it because it's likely cheaper or because he doesn't know that a machine like that exists.

This is happening all across the world and no one is willing to address it. People are angry because there is no "real work" left for them anymore. Even in startups around me, I see so many jobs that don't need to exist. We're just "creating work" by adding jobs that don'tn need to exist, or refusing to adopt technology.

The way the world is right now, something had to give. Trump is just a symptom of that.

I would take issue with the statement that "America" voted for Trump or his talking points. Priorities vary greatly; just look at local politics. For two extremes, California ballot measures (2016) have included things like legalizing marijuana and promoting bilingual school education; Kansas has ballot measures for things like right to hunt and fish (2016) or exemption from nationally mandated health care plans (2014).

Every time I try to use Firefox, I feel driven away by the web developer tools. I can't exactly pinpoint what makes me unease, I don't think that's only about habits, it feels like the FF dark background makes them harder to read or the font is too big. I'm talking about quite simple usecases: Browsing the DOM and CSS, reading warnings in the JS console, reading Ajax requests. Have you ever tried to compare the ergonomics of the dev tools between Chrome and FF? Do most people like FF's current dev tools?

No it isn't. It's not "lazy" to insist on working contracted hours. Americans are entitled to choose their workplace, and leave if it's bullshit; Having the economic success to be able to do this is another thing - that used to be handled through unions.

As a Midwesterner, I've found many unexpected Trump voters who had similar motivations. A lot of: "well, Hillary isn't going to change anything and things need to change". Not a lot of deep consideration as to what this 'change' will mean (beyond potential reinvestment in infrastructure and "jobs").

I actually think this may be quite a problem for President Trump down the line. These are friendly, community minded people who - generally speaking - overlooked (rather than covertly support, as everyone seems to project) Trump's more outlandish/discriminatory rhetoric. If he comes up short on the community reinvestment and gets mired in a bunch of unseemly scandals, the support of these people will drop off.
That is why it is ok to check Iranians more closely. Which is what all but a few states do with Iranians. We accept that (and even me as a "pure" German have to go through those checks because I travel to Iran from time to time). And while the TV cameras capture some fools on Iranian streets, I have never heard someone telling me "Death to America" when I was there or similar stuff. In contrary: all were only talking about the great "Azadi" in the US (Azadi: Freedom) they all long for. They like Germany, but they love the US. I also remember you of the 50 Million deaths Germans caused in the world last century, yet we are allowed to the USA without visa at all.

In reality, there is no such thing as "private trade". You justify this in your own mind with ideological constructs and narratives about "private property" and "free markets". In reality, you support violating human rights, and no argument you can conjur up can justify that.
First of all, I was talking about people. The USA government (and as far as I can see trump banned based on nationality, not relation to government) did far worse to Iran and most of other countries. In scale, I don't need to provide a link for you. You can find it on the internet. If we want to go this path, (almost) every country in the world should ban the US. From assassinating their leader, changing their government, supporting dictators, and so much more.

There are few areas that lack the population density to support community colleges.

Wyoming has 7 community colleges for ~600,000 people. They will of course be in the larger towns, but more than 200,000 people live in the 3 largest "metro" areas, and the people that cannot commute to one of the colleges will anyway be facing a high probability of moving to find employment.

If that were so, we would have to put Saudi on the ban list. Most of the 9/11 attackers were from Saudi. Saudi has produced some of the world's most notorious terrorists.

Do we suddenly think Saudi society has changed enough that no Saudis are prone to terrorism?

Vernon's Implementing DDD is an excellent supplementary book to Eric Evans', but it also works well as a Stand-alone book. I generally refer to them as "the Blue Book" (Evans) and "the Red Book" (Vernon). I still haven't read the Blue Book, but I will in due course. The Red Book has given me more than enough understanding of DDD to put it into practice in the workplace.

> The interviewer can reject you because "They had a bad day"

The only answer in your Quora link that has a lot of upvotes is by the author of CTCI and she is saying just the opposite, and instead of blaming the interviewer she is putting all of the blame on the person being interviewed. I find this quite disturbing, and you are right there isn't accountability on the interviewer, here are the things the author of CTCI is saying:

> Maybe you came off as arrogant

> A number of different things could happen. But when someone asks this question -- why did I get rejected even after doing well -- the problem is nearly always in the second part: You didn't do well

> If you were interviewing with a big tech company, they have basically infinite programming spots. They don't reject someone because they found someone better; they just hire both.

> So despite what you think about your performance, you probably didn't show good algorithmic problem-solving skills

I'm all for self-introspection to assist in self-improvement but her persistence in ignoring the fact that interviewers are fallible is troubling, she is the go-to resource for probably most interviewees and interviewers and I don't like that she assumes that the thing that went wrong is "almost always" the fault of the interviewee. It's some grade-A BS.

Unfortunately, in the real world, typing doesn't always work like in the test.

For example I'm a heavy IDE user and I know exactly what kind of autocompletes it will present me when I write something or what kind of shortcuts I can use, which made this really weird to use.

For example I rarely write 'function', I write 'fun' and press enter because I know 'function' will be the first item in the autocomplete list. When I'm writing a variable for the second time I feel the latency at which the IDE will autocomplete me. If there are more variables with similar names I know which characters to type to make it autocomplete the right one. If I have a variable named weirdNamedLongAssVariableName I will write wNLA and press Enter.

This confused me a lot on a subconscious level when I first tried the examples on the website.

Or 100 years. There were culture wars in the 1910s that were as fierce as those today. That's how we got the Harrison Narcotics Act for one example. I certainly don't mean to belittle the present crisis, but we should realize that these battles have been going on for a long time. As long as people like Mr. Atwood continue to speak up, we will weather this one as we have since this great nation was founded.

Did all they could to minimize them by classifying all males age 18-49 as militants automatically.

And what about Operation Haymaker [1], showing that the intended target consisted of only about ~10% of the total deaths from drone bombings? How can there be any certainty at all about civilian death tolls in massively war-torn, chaotic environments? I personally don't trust the Obama administration's numbers, which are not all that good in the first place.

>If what Seimens et al want is flexibility, I can certainly understand why they skew towards candidates with college degrees.

The story isn't really about Siemens. It's about trying to convince readers of what a "college degree" can mean in the future. If you look at the background of the author Jeffrey J. Selingo[1], you'll see he previously wrote about traditional college coursework not serving the needs of blue-collar workers that don't need 4-year degrees. He echoes many of the same sentiments by Mike Rowe ("Dirty Jobs")[2] about giving apprenticeships and factory jobs more respect.

To go back to Siemens as one example, the article states:

>, Siemens in 2011 created an apprenticeship program for seniors at local high schools that combines four years of on-the-job training with an associate degree in mechatronics from nearby Central Piedmont Community College.

Today, that type of 2-year training is not as prestigious as a traditional 4-year degree. The writer is simply using Siemens as a case study of changing the public's attitude about "higher education".

To be honest, not sure how well I would do in such a test. Other than simple household math etc I had little contact with anything I once learned at school.

Use it or loose it. I'm sure I could relearn most of it quickly, but after a few years working I just know whatever I needed for my job. And I consider myself a very skilled expert in the little niche I'm working in.
I fully agree, Ubiquitous Language is the key part of DDD. As long developers and business people understand processes and speak the same language you can achieve DDD using any patterns/languages/technologies.

In DDD what I find the most challenging are changes and context: e.g. in typical sass application marketing team speaks about customer that comes from PCP, but from sales perspective customer is the only company setup through CRM system. Same word but often processes are completely different (post-pay, pre-pay etc).

Sadly, I never work in a team that implemented fully DDD - mostly because it was too hard to engage all departments to think about processes - technology behind that was the easy part.

It is not. Nothing in the thought experiment implies the laws of the country are not superior to those of the municipality. And as those laws require the country to treat all its citizens equaly and/or explicitly forbid discrimination, a municiaplity could not legally create such rules.

This is not a hypothetical - the collective ownership way of thinking applies just fine to the US, where such discrimination was ruled illegal.
