Wow, if you're computing costs like that, how can you justify buying coffee more than a couple times per year?

I think that shelling out $5/mo for what amounts to a hobby project is pretty darned cheap.
> Middle managers can also miss the importance of co-locating teams by bringing together designers, engineers, product managers and content specialists in the same physical space. The most highly functioning agile teams aren’t just at the same location or on the same floor: they share the same table.

I can't refute this strongly enough. Managers should do their jobs and manage. Doesn't matter where team members are located.

Anyway, this agile nonsense gets too much air time. We got it: highly iterative feedback loop development.
Yeah, but medical bill collections has way less weight on your credit than (say) a car bill past due.

They send so many people to collections that even creditors don't care about it anymore.
>I'm sure hospitals will all include a "all promises maid by staff are null and void unless documented in writing"

Despite all the FUD about health care prices, most states have consumer protection laws that require providers/hospitals to provide estimates for services upon request. Therefore, by law (state by state) the hospitals could not employ the tactic you suggest.
Have you used bazel? The number of times I've even considered using `clean` (the drop some caches make everything mostly clean though still use the global cache command) in my 2+ years with it I can count one one hand, and most of those were unnecessary.
Replacing the classic fedora hat would probably result in mutiny.
You are right then. I missed it because I was focusing on the way the Italian judiciary handled the case afterwards, which indicates the clandestine nature of the co-operation.
Not to stoke a fire, but I just wondered how the same failure would be viewed if it was done by a Chinese or Indian Manufacturer. Immediately it would have reinforced a stereotype of outsourcing being cheap and that being the issue. When in reality the truth is that there are frauds, lazy and useless people everywhere on the planet.
>because it isn't a human.

This is especially interesting in the context of corporate personhood[1]. You can't send a corporation to jail, but you can disband it entirely, or prevent it from operating. A lot of the practical solutions try to leave badly behaving company operating, though, since if we shut them down there is a lot of collateral damage in the form of lost productivity in the economy and lost jobs. IANAL, but my opinion is that there needs to be a better non-nuclear option for an actual guilty conviction for corporations. As I understand it, if a company actually goes to trial and is convicted, they are not allowed to operate anymore, hence the plea deals and fines.

Please correct me if I am wrong, though.

You do know that all sorts of unpleasant things are sent through the post, correct? A neighbor of ours when I was growing up literally shipped bull semen, that was a large part of their business.

And sewage is regularly sent through the mail as well, many municipal sewage-treatment plants ship samples to specialized labs for analysis. Toilet-brushes are far from the most disgusting things sent through the mail, and unless you clean your toilet without flushing any waste in the bowl first they aren't even that dirty. Considering the prevalence of sanitizing toilet cleaner, it wouldn't surprise me if the average brush is cleaner than the door handles of a public restroom.

Full Stack Software Engineer (with 5+ years of experience) looking for a long term job.
Southeast USA including: Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), South Carolina (Greenville), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (Melbourne), Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Pennsylvania (State College) and possibly others, all ONSITE. Citizenship is a job requirement.

We do emulators, JIT, hypervisors, stuff similar to valgrind, debuggers, manual disassembly, binary static analysis, parsers, and assembly. We write our own low-level tools, frequently in C99 to run on Linux. We also use IDA Pro, qemu, Simics, JTAG debuggers, gdb, Coverity, KlocWork, LLVM, and so on. Easily transferable skills include those related to compilers, kernel drivers, embedded RTOSes, vectorizing, firmware, VxWorks BSP development, symbolic execution, boot loaders, software verification, concolic testing, abstract interpretation, satisfiability (SAT, SMT) solvers, and decompilers. We work with more than a dozen architectures including PowerPC/ppc, MIPS, ARM/Thumb/AArch64, x86/x64/Intel, DSPs, and microcontrollers. We hire from no-degree to PhD. Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

Location hints: Pick Arlington for a car-free life, subway included. Pick Florida or Texas to live in a place with solid gun rights and no state income tax. Pick Florida for almost no traffic or commute, surfing, and a median house price of about $150,000.

Secfi | Software engineer(s) | Amsterdam, the Netherlands | EUR 35-70k + equity

We're on a mission to increase employee’s private company ownership by helping them exercise their options - a complex and opaque process that typically comes with a lot of anxiety and unanswered questions. Our tools help you fully understand your stock options’ value and maximize their potential.

For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options. The tax planning tool inside our dashboard does just that: https://www.secfi.com/#gif-container

Complex challenges we’re working on next include: multiyear tax forecast analysis, recommendation engine based on various sources and fantastic UX and UI.

Things have been going very well here at Secfi, and consequently in 2019 we aspire to grow the team 3x.
We’re looking for ten software engineers and two product managers to join us: https://www.secfi.com/careers

>in real life, I mean, real estate is limited so why wouldn't darwinian market forces make a shop with product diversity + epsilon out compete a shop with a more niche spectrum of products

But can the employees advise me on which to buy?

I'll sometimes pay a premium to go to a specialty store, so I can speak to an expert.

(Ex: if I was going to buy a vaporizer, I'd probably go to a vape shop rather than spend days reading on the pros and cons of various models)
>twelve football stadiums stacked together

I understand that football stadium play area is standard, but how do you measure height?
Is it a foul to kick the ball too high in the air? The play area, I assume isn't limited vertically.
> Which is why I think there should still be some manually-managed servers remaining (possibly something like testing).

All operations during development are carried out manually, unless already supported by automation (and until, of course). When automating the new operations, a sysadmin must also conduct the steps manually, and also take care of considerations a developer might not have been aware of.

> What I didn't see mentioned is that when the automation fails for whatever reason, typically it is a five-alarm situation where minutes count.

Generally, this is easily-handled by redundancy, HA, and snapshot rollbacks. Of course anything that's a potential five-alarm situation has redundancy, right? :P

My apologies, I can see I've been unclear.

Many people expect ethical codes to expressly and explicitly include their personal ethical framework in clear detail, that they might use it to hold others to account. A reference to what someone personally considers to be a contribution to society and humanity might not rise to this standard.
I'm not sure I'd go that far. It's clearly been tuned for the thumbnail version. I agree though, in that it doesn't scale up perfectly.
