Then what do you tell them? Employers will expect that an adult has some kind of work history.

Also, discrimination against overqualified applicants is now illegal in California, but I imagine it still happens.

I thought this was bad enough: https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/12/07/tech-firms-draw-flak-...

If we want to get past the perception that this industry is of, by, and for misogynistic manchildren, maybe we should start by not being misogynistic manchildren.

Television programming has been profiled and targeted for decades. It just wasn't as granular and accurate as it is on the web.

Can someone add (2017) to the title? Without seeing the date it makes it look like GitHub is discontinuing support with a few days' notice.

In case it wasn't immediately obvious from my original comment, the issue was that "Cubans" is ambiguous and could be related to commerce that might be covered by sanctions against Cuba.

Have you ever been to the area? It's not a soundtrack, that's just what it sounds like here. There's always a gently strummed guitar flowing out of a watery amp somewhere off in the distance.

I had a similar issue with Venmo—a friend tried to pay me back for a Cuban sandwich, and the transaction was held up because he just wrote "Cubans" as the description. Only in Venmo's case, the issue was resolved mere hours after he sent an email explaining the situation.

I opened a Coinbase account back in college ~6 years ago when they were giving $10 in Bitcoin to anyone who signed up with a .edu email address. I forgot about it until last summer, when I realized that amount was now worth around $160.

I didn't have access to my college email anymore, so having to provide proof of identity was reasonable; having the entire process take a month wasn't. They also do this particularly insidious thing where if they don't respond to your request for two weeks or so, they automatically close it as unresolved. They do automatically reopen it if you send another email, but that you have to do that in the first place is dumb.

I was certainly fooled the first one or two times it happened; my initial thought was that Levi's provided the worst of its production to Amazon. The jeans were cut and sewn poorly, covered in sawdust, and fell apart within months. It's only upon doing further research that I realized they were counterfeit, and that many people have had this problem.

> e2e for direct user to user makes sense.

I disagree, corporate chats still have plenty of reason to want access to historical user-to-user chats. Ignoring the cynical reasons, institutional memory isn't confined to channel chats.

This has been true so far in the US, but there are countries where ISPs transparently provide different bandwidths to different types of content, and customers pick and choose service plans for each in a package deal.

> I've not seen anyone say that a "Sold by Amazon" product is counterfeit.

I've had it happen to me with Levi's, and word of mouth tells me this is a problem in general with big name clothing.

I know "if you don't like your job, find a new one!" is a tired cliche that often gets thrown at people complaining about legitimate grievances, but software engineering is one of the few fields where a good employee can fairly easily leave for greener pastures whenever they want, at least in the US.

Today I had to search for Slack messages that were sent long before I was hired to solve a problem at work. In an end-to-end model, you're only going to have logs as far back as you were there to receive.

Out of curiosity, what's the quote you mentioned?

Is this a regional thing? Where I live, neighborhood bars and sports bars have TVs, but everything else doesn't.

Not necessarily. Everything is "obscure" to you the first time you hear it.

I typeset my resume in LaTeX, but I ended up formatting it so it looked almost exactly like it did in Word. I should probably update that at some point.

But I did throw a \LaTeX macro in the skills section, so anyone familiar LaTeX should notice.

The 130k minimum was proposed by a Democratic congresswoman, not the administration.

> In the U.S., AOL alone had over 2 million dialup users in 2015.

I've seen this figure a few times before, and I wonder every time who these users are. Specifically I'm curious what the breakdown is between people who

- Really don't have a better option available (infrastructure in this country is unbelievably bad in some places, so I wouldn't be surprised at a large size for this group)

- Are perfectly happy with the dialup experience so they don't switch to something better

- Don't know there are better options so they stay with dialup

- Don't even realize they never cancelled AOL and are still having it auto-debited every month

- Some other option I didn't think of

Depending on what you consider senior (I've seen job listings that seem to use it to mean "anything that's not new grad"), that could be a salary in the valley.

Two questions (one fact-based, one opinion)

1. This article notes that the various proposed H1B reforms would require (for some definition of require) that companies make an effort to hire Americans before offering positions to visa workers. Isn't this already a requirement?

2. I agree $60,000 is a very low minimum. But how is $130,000 reasonable? Even in this industry that's a significant salary.

That's what the "web" link at the top of every thread is for.

I think this is the jargon-y-est comment I've ever read.

I'm surprised no one's yet answered the obvious and common "they can't afford to."

But will there be enough small companies willing and able to hire H1B workers at that salary level? This might just have the effect of reducing the number of visas that are actually given out, as some of this 20% will remain unused.
