Without knowing you or your workplace exactly, there's two buckets this falls into. The first is nefarious, where your manager took advantage of you to provide output and will replace you with someone else eager. In this case the only solution is leave and try to determine the red flags that led you to this point to avoid joining another role with the same demands.

The second possibility is that there's a missing communication gap here. As you've discovered, effort alone is not the key to success. Effort may get you between basic levels, e.g. Programmer 1 to Programmer 2, but not necessarily from Programmer to Team Lead where there's more expectations beyond technical skills like mentoring, working between organizations, etc

Some questions to ask yourself and possibly discuss further with manager:

1. Why did the 70+ hours go on for a year? Was this coming down from top level or self imposed? Where was the communication about sustainability, or outcomes upon completion?

2. Where was the 1:1s and check-ins during this project that you got to the end before knowing the outcome? You own your 1:1s, use them to discuss your career goals, advancement, and blockers, not just as a status update. Schedule them if your manager isn't.

3. Was your manager previously aware of your desire to get promoted? Remember, not everyone wants to get promoted. Have you previously discussed goals, measures, and skills to obtain this?

4. If you previously discussed the goals and measures, why did this 70+hr/wk project not align with these goals? This in particular is a failure of management. "Crunch time" is a given in industry at times, but this seems into Death March territory if it was top-down.

4(b). If the previously discussed goals did align with this project, what else is missing that didn't get met? If everything did get met, argue to that positioning and discussion rather than "I worked really hard and made a thing."

5. How was your communication of the work you were performing and completing? Sell benefits, not features. Did others perhaps think that you worked long hours because of your lack of skill, thus requiring more hours to make it up?
Medicare does not have market forces guiding it. Consumers are a massive repository of localized knowledge. Once government takes them out of the picture, the industry's dynamism is severely limited.
If your manager says "That's not enough" and doesn't give you any more guidance it is time to find a new manager, either at that company or another one. What you need to be doing should not be a mystery.
As CO2 concentrations rise, it raises levels of carbonic acid in the blood (something CO2 does in aqueous environments; same thing that's bleaching corals in the sea). Our body tracks blood pH and when it dips too low from high CO2, that's when the body knows it needs to breathe.

(The above is just going off my memory of my physiology class from years ago. Apologies if I misremembered something.)
There is too much money in the US system, and the current employees would never agree to losing what they have. It's far more lucrative to be in medicine in the US than in other countries.

In short, it's not just the insurance companies or the administration, but the industry as a whole. You try telling a group of doctors that they have to take a pay cut for the good of society, and they'll laugh you out of the room.

This is not to say that doctors don't work hard or aren't worth a lot in a career with a decade or more of training, but it's pretty clear that doctors in the US don't work particularly harder than their foreign contemporaries, yet they earn a ton more.
They don't have to be willing to present a better counter. If they don't, you just eliminate them from the pool and your decision is that much easier. If you are afraid to do that, then the multiple offers are only illusory anyway, since you would clearly have a preference you should be acting on.
This is a great idea, I love it.
Interesting I wonder what the history of this design is? And how Hitachi's (or their partner's) die really wound up being re-marked as TI? If the die is a Chinese produced copy, why did they keep the markings during retooling?

I wish photographs of the packages were presented also.

Edit: The other "not genuine" die has quite a few similarities and it looks like one inspired the other.
Yes, but Hollande, while branded as a left wings, had a fairly center / center right politic. Macron is similar but even more on the right.

The Parti Socialiste, basically imploded because of the size of the ideological gap between it's left and right wings.

A bit like the british labour, with the gap between Blair and Corbyn.
Unfortunately it's possible that they did indeed decide to work 70 hour weeks. I made that mistake early in my career.

You're right that if they were pushing him to work these insane hours for months then it's time to politely part ways. Such abuse was common in the gamedev industry: http://ea-spouse.livejournal.com/
I bought BTC at $250, the it dropped to $80. It rose to $1000, I bought more BTC, then it dropped to $200. Then it rose to $3000 and I sold it all for a profit.

The bottom line is if you believe it in the long term and have the patience to accept any medium term losses, it is fine to put your foot in after a run up. Maybe invest 10% of what you're willing to lose now, which can be nice to get the trust of exchanges early, so when you can buy more your daily limit will be higher. It takes some days to open an account so you might also want to do it weeks before you want to buy. When it inevitably crashes you can buy more.

I recommend averaging in, say 10% a month over a year, you will get a range of low and high prices.
walks are helpful for that, but then you can't do that too much for the same reason you can't sit and stare.
But still as the author explains "If you're not reaching for the limits (like max VCC or precision) and have some luck - that might not cause issues." And I didn't dismiss that...I said "just simply don't meet the voltage tolerance and noise resistance levels of higher grade designs".

I guess what triggered me to write my first comment was the fact someone buying a "TI" something chip from eBay when it lists "China" as the seller's location and with a seller's name other than something easily verified to be TI, then it seems there is no pretense that the thing being sold is genuine TI. But the word "fake" holds the connotation that there is some deception going on. So that is why I don't think fake is the most appropriate word. I just hear that word used too much to disparage chinese made derivative imitation products. Someone who knows they don't need the noise levels and voltages tolerances can be perfectly happy and even benefit by using these instead of the more expensive genuine TI.
Microsoft OneDrive for Business is moving in that direction. Online collaboration of Office files, couple of clicks sharing and security controls that Enterprise IT departments love. I'd still say Dropbox is easier to use with a cleaner interface. However with so many Fortune 500 Enterprises already in bed with Microsoft, OneDrive for Business has a leg up.
>>And this time, be really clear with your new manager on what you want and what work or deliverables get you there.

In many cases even this doesn't work. That is unfortunately how toxic politics really is. Politics is an art of manipulating people and deceiving them into doing things.

In the case you mentioned, its possible that the manager will agree for the deliverables on hand. When the time for reward comes, they will simply say there were other contenders and delivered more than you did. You can't argue much from there, because they will start throwing in the 'confidentiality' card saying "You don't know how much more the other guy delivered".

Its always easy to say this because you don't have any way of verifying it. And calling their BS on their face means permanently damaging your relationship. Then you have no option but to leave.

In short: If you have this kind of a manager, stop fighting the system, just leave.

That's absolutely insane. I would be expecting that only from the most depraved workplaces. How often does something like that happen?
A billion years of living things eating each other. Quite happy, indeed.
That's some heavy speculation.
> It’s a matter of time before Apple rolls out iCloud file/folder sharing

And that solution won't work on my work-machine running Windows, nor on my home-machines running Linux.

Nor on any machine owned by anyone in my greater family. Because most people don't have Macs.

It will be completely irrelevant outside some niche Apple-only circles. Like most services Apple make.

I'd be surprised if it disrupted Dropbox noticeably.
Regularly. Never to me, but I've watched it be done to others.
New macbook user since 5 months, I totally LOVE the touch bar.

The only problem is the lack of ESC key really, but after you remap it to Caps Lock everything is good again.
A couple friends of mine wrote an extremely mathematical analysis of the rolling shutter effect, and even looked at some related questions like "given a photo from a rolling shutter how can you tell how many propellor blades actually exist and how fast it is turning?".

I felt the same exact way. Though we know sexual harassment is abundantly happening where a man is the harassing party, this article seems to imply that all men are fundamentally flawed.
They've gotten worse; the physical buttons disappeared. One step closer to useless. No tactile difference between left, right, and center. The drivers are crap; palm detection is spotty, allowing mouseclicks when they shouldn't be allowed, but also often preventing the mouse from being used at the same time as the keyboard.

It's a joy to mindlessly surf the web, but a pain in the ass to do most other things.
I'm strongly against Fn+Arrow keys. On such keyboards pressing Ctrl+Shift+Home (select all text from current position to beginning of document) or similar shortcuts requires too many keys to be pressed at once.

I like keyboard layouts on laptops like System76 13/14 inch models or Gigabyte Aero 14. Full size arrow keys, not that half-size nonsence. And dedicated PgUp/Down and Home/End keys.
That may be a valid point for a TI-specific part. But if the buyer is just wanting a generic 555 Timer, those aren't part of the specs. The 555 is effectively a black box (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC). Although again I do realize now that the author was primarily attacking the use of "Ti" here.
A few life lessons after a decade in IT:

1. It's 10% about what you do. And 90% about how you present it. Presentation includes getting people to people know your value, your impact to the business, and most importantly, talking yourself up, and talking yourself up to the right people :). The higher you go, the more important this is. Which goes to point 2:

2. The higher you go, the more it is about who you know, and how well you know them. Who's ear have you got? How influential are they, and who are they influencing? What do people think of you?

3. Then it's your teammates, and your peers. You want to get promoted, but what do they think? Are they going to support you? The company thinks of this too.

You mentioned people who have caused delays, being considered for promotion instead of yourself. How well do they hit the above 3 points?

The higher you go, the more that it becomes a people job instead of a technical job. One thing to ask yourself as well is, do you want to go up? Or do you want to stay technical? If you want to go up, better get in the game!

It's normal to get frustrated on the journey up the ladder. As others have mentioned, the hours are only the entry price, there's many other factors at play here. Btw, as you'll know when you become a manager, his job is to make sure you deliver - and you have, for one year already, 70 hours a week. His job is not to get you what you want, his job is to make sure you work (and the harder that he can make you work, the better). Personally I don't agree with this approach, and it's not one I use, but then again, I've personally had many managers like this.

Ultimately, you will be promoted. I'm sure of it. You're already talking to the right people (this audience :)). It'll just take time. How much time, depends on how well you master factors 1-3 above.
I use the numberpad all the time as a Mechanical engineer. ffs, there are other fields than clacky clack let's make another bullshit frontend library artists.
Exactly. That's not an exactly free market to operate in to begin with. Contrast that with the software/hardware markets, or even consumer goods markets, and the difference in terms of outcomes is pretty obvious. The problem with healthcare is that there is no direct "pay for service" system. It's all a mix of insurances, hidden costs, complex pricing systems (with little to no elasticity once fixed) defined by governments and third parties that have nothing to do with the end user.
> so they are demonstrably not essential.

... for you. For GP they obviously are.
Man, I wish it was that easy for me.

After 20 years, I've shipped over a dozen different products, probably over a hundred different versions - products that probably have affected 100s of millions of people (some of these products were libraries used in other big products). And, I've worked for four successful startups through three acquisitions. And, I still feel like an imposter. It sucks.

Everyone is different. I wasn't granted the confidence gene, unfortunately. So, I've just had to fake it. I still fake it.
Recommend that you don't attempt to stay; you should clearly move.

Never take a promotion offered to convince you to stay.
No.

Isn't the problem with optical computers is that we don't have a way to switch light using light only. I though maybe this will enable to do something like that..because it says that light through a medium affecting a physical property, and that too at the speed of light...
> For those of you that are paying for their consumer offering, I'd be very interested in reading about why you've chosen to stick with em instead of migrating to another service.

I'm a freeloader so I guess I don't fully qualify.

That said, what I like about Sropbox is how it works (and works well) everywhere.

Windows, Linux, Android. At home, at work, on my NAS and in "the cloud".

All other services have major shortcomings if you want universal platform-support.
555s are chips that sort of fundamentally sit of the boundary between analog and digital. Their analog properties matter in most cases.
You are autistic and you got played. Dont be such a bozo "give it to me up the ass Fred" next time!!
There are global shutter CMOS image sensors. But it comes with a cost. After each frame is exposed the values in the photocoupled capacitors are transferred into neighboring capacitors in one go, then those are read off serially while the photocoupled capacitors are exposed for the next frame. Alternately, each pixel is locally connected to an ADC and enough memory to digitize the image all at once.

Canon, for example, announced a global shutter CMOS sensor last year. The problem here is that those extra components come at a cost. Either they crowd out existing components on the sensor, which would dramatically reduce light sensitivity. Or, they require additional layers in the CMOS die, which significantly increases fabrication cost due to design costs, fabrication time, lower yield, etc. Additionally, the extra step in digitization reduces effective frame rate.

Very cool! Kudos to you guys for putting this together!
Waheell...

This is a big can o' worms, and no one here knows what really went down (I don't think even you do) so there a necessarily going to be some assumptions. Can you forgive me (and the others that are presumably preparing their own replies even as I type this)?

If you're cool with cutting straight to the chase: I'm pretty sure there are some kind of "rules to getting ahead" at your workplace that you are not perceiving. I don't know what they are, but I think you must be really whiffing on them bad to not even get a token promotion for what you've contributed.

(One assumption I'm making is that you've done what you said you did. I have a decent BS-dectector and while there's limited info to go on here, I believe you are sincere.)

So...

1. What promotion did you go for? Your accomplishments have been technical so if you were going for a technical promotion -- e.g. SW Engineer to Senior SW Engineer, or Senior to Principal or whatever -- or just a raise in $$$ then you've made a good case. On the other hand, if you were looking to go into, e.g., management then the technical accomplishments might not as obviously qualify you. (Personally, I think people who show they can excel in domains with complex and competing constraints are qualified for a wide variety of responsibilities, but I haven't found that's a widely held view among executives.)

2. You manager may be powerless to give you a promotion. Some mangers (weak ones) won't admit it, but they may have no actual power to promote you no matter what they do.

3. You say you're OK at office politics (good but not the best) but I think there must be some stuff -- some dominant trends -- that you are not fully perceiving. E.g., you thought the way to get ahead was to work 70+ hours a week for a year, but apparently it's actually to develop a "strong connection" with your manager.

I don't know. You might be able to adjust and excel and get the promotion you want at your current employer, but it really sounds like you will be "swimming upstream" there: you've got skills and a work ethic that they don't value.

Consider working normal hours at your current position and in the meantime (1) look for a new position where they might value what you have to offer; (2) spend the newly freed-up hours doing something personally enriching (whether personally or professionally).

Edit: Ah, shoot, went from zero to 37 responses while I wrote this, and the Opost is flagged to boot. Oh wells.
The layouts look like a rogue/nethack level or maybe some new version of pacman.
A true story for your consideration:

One of my first jobs was as a dishwasher at a pasta shop. A few of my friends worked there and helped me land the job. One of them, Kevin, was a particularly good dishwasher--fast, efficient, conscientious. The managers were vocally appreciative of his work and used him as an example.

One day, I was talking to one of the other friends, Macey, and I mentioned that I thought Kevin was probably up for a promotion. The career path at this pasta shop was dishwasher > cook > waiter > manager, and at a place like that you could move up pretty quickly because turnover was so high. Macey said with some confidence that Kevin would never get promoted. He was just too fast at washing dishes. He'd made himself indispensable, especially on high-traffic evenings, and the management would never gum up the works by moving him to another position.

Macey was wrong. Kevin was promoted to cook within a few weeks.

I guess there are managers who won't promote their most productive employee. And there are managers who will.
That's a classic but lately a swedish journalist uncovered that the wine we drink in Europe is largely bogus.

Apparently wine distributors are not required to declare contents and they can use up to 60 approved ingredients, ecological wine had 30 or 40 approved ingredients.

And the issue is with the industrial yeast that they use. This is apparently tailored yeast to give the wine flavor like mango or pomegranate. The flavors listed by the manufacturer of the industrial yeast often match what is later seen in the store where the wine is sold.

Essentially distributors buy wine from a country like south africa or germany for example. Then they process it, often here in Sweden or in another european country. And that's where they add things like oak flakes to fake oak cask maturing, and of course the industrial yeast to add other flavors.

The flavors differ between different european countries, catering to that population and culture.

A bottle of "fake" wine can cost between 8 and 14 euro, a bottle of natural wine can cost 30 euro or more.

I've completely stopped buying the generic wine from our national alcohol store after seeing this.

Imho almost all of the wine we have available to buy should be called something like "wine drink" instead of wine. The EU is working on leglislation to force distributors to reveal their ingredients but so far they're very secretive.
Finding a new job will temporary temporary solve your problem.

Management will only promote people if they think promotion will help them or the company. Promotion is not a way to reward people for their hard work. You have bonuses for that.

If you want to promotion you should already act and take responsibilities as you are already promoted. So instead of building platform you should be convincing other people (or management) for resources to build the platform.
Been in similar situation for quite a long time. The only thing that worked exceptionally well for me was to found my own company. I became my own boss, hired a few people, did and currently do some great products.

Before that, I never tried to change the employer to get a raise. I felt pretty quickly that I can do my own game, so there is no sense in making moves to local extremums. Instead, I just used the time at work to get more experience and expertise.
You need to consider that if you're a manager and you have an employee working 70 hours a week, your first intuition might be that they have to invest almost twice as much time as the others to keep up.

This is neither true or fair, but you didn't come here looking for fairness. The reality is that they simply aren't aware of the value that you believe that you're creating, and they certainly aren't happy about you putting in so much time to do it.

Time for the next adventure. This time, set boundaries and make sure to have a social life outside of work. You'll find that things go smoother. Hang in there!
I'm unsure if your comment is serious or not.

How many Macbook Pro users have you surveyed ? And how do you think that compares to Apple who clearly did some product marketing work before adding a very expensive new feature.
There are many things in play here.

We humans are social animals and we still have a lot of vestigial stuff when it comes to establish our relative social rank. The people you perceive as being less competent maybe appeal to those vestigial "leadership traits" more. Superficial stuff such as your voice, your posture... and less superficial stuff like how you express yourself, verbally and non-verbally. You can try to work with a voice coach, you would be impressed with the results.

Then, maybe you are a victim of your own success. Being too effective in your role can make it harder for you to be replaced.

Support is required for getting promoted. Support would be taken for granted in a meritocracy, where people recognize and honor merit, by supporting people that deserve a promotion or stepping aside if a better candidate comes up. But not every organization is a meritocracy.

It is not only about doing a lot of work, but also about being able to take the credit for that work. If you were an individual contributor in a team, most likely the credit got distributed among the team or your manager took a good chunk of it.
I mean, Sanders talks about it almost every day, so him referring to it is hardly newsworthy.
Apologies for the random italics. I meant to add asterisks indicating that names had been changed.
