Over at Dice, there's a discussion
Hell, that's s reason for us not to follow the discussion. Seriously.
Dice-related posts are like diversity hires. They may be good, but people are assuming that they weren't picked for their quality.
Tell me again what this label actually accomplished: Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics
As a parent, it makes me more willing to buy some CD's for me kids, when I don't have the time to personally screen the lyrics first.
A few university set-ups in Germany tried this, (e.g. Hamburg), albeit probably with far simpler specifications as it was some years ago. They had surprisingly frequent problems with birds; birds perching on the towers, birds flying between the source/sink, uzw. Packet loss got enough at one point to contact a local falconer to see if his bird of prey could scare them away. It turned out that the local bakery was too much of a draw. There was whimsical talk of adding a TCP/IP error for bakery janitorial events. I believe they eventually just went with fiber pulled through the sewers
Simple solution: Verstärken die Laser.
Fiber optic is trivial to tap. Almost as easy as analog phone lines.
Anything is easy to tap, at least in the U.S.
Step 1. Mislead a FISA court about the need. After all, those being tapped will never find out, let alone have a chance to contest the evidence. It's a secret.
Step 2. Find some ISP in the communications path, and hit them with a National Security Letter. Because, you know, fuck the Fourth Amendment. Threaten them with going to jail for even bringing up the issue in court. Again, because, well, fuck being the land of the free, since it's no longer the home of the brave.
Step 3. Do whatever you want. If it violates the law, you can count on some combination of sovereign immunity, prosecutorial descretion, and Presidential pardons to make sure you never face justice while on this earth.
I knew it! AC is actually Wolverine!
uh, their name is on the voter rolls at the polling place?
you make it sound like voter fraud is an actual thing.
You make it sound like it's not.
Snide answer: How about getting off your ass and actually going to the polling place to vote?
How do you know the person at the polling place is actually legally allowed to vote?
We could implement some sort of credentialing system.
I don't think Democrats would allow that. It's apparently racist.

And don't forget apk - I'm sure he wants to explain that the best way of blocking entire TLDs is using hosts files...
I know Alex P. Keaton was a know-it-all, but I'm not sure he cares about this topic.
Funny, I was just going to post that same thing. I keep parsing it as "eat chocolate".
TCP over Postal System.
Low packet loss, but terrible latency.
It must have been racism. That's the only reason I can imagine they wouldn't want to hire me.
I genuinely can't tell if you're being facetious.
If you're good at software development, and black, there's no shortage of companies that want you. Especially those that do business with the federal government. You'll easily be chosen over more qualified white males. You may want to consider working in a region that does lots of federal contracting.
First, we have constant articles on gender discrimination. Are we now going to get race discrimination articles? If we're all such white male racists here in Tech, why would women or black people even want to work here. These articles are getting so tiresome it almost feels like we're getting deliberately trolled.
It strikes me as click-baiting. It's abhorrent, but if you look at the numbers, something about the topic does keep us coming back for more, over and over.
Okay, but here's the thing. Your conclusion was that it happened because you're black. I think that's a hasty conclusion.
Not only are you black, but also you were dealing with a big, probably disorganized company. The larger the organization, the more moronic its hiring practices can be, and the more they can accidentally poop on candidates. I'm white, have a CS PhD, and have experienced similar things.
Also, even if you did actually run into racism, I suspect it's rarer than you expect. Running a software company is so difficult that one generally wants the most productive, high-quality software developers available. There's rarely enough wiggle room to accommodate personal bigotry. Most of us care a lot more about having our company succeed so we can be wealthy, than we do about skin color.
Also, you had one bad job interview experience, right out of school, and you quit the entire profession? I know that's discouraging, but seriously, you need to grow some backbone.
