Just curious, since I know some high-paid devs in Kansas.
If they're not getting paid $120k, they're not high-paid. Even calling $120k 'high-paid' is a bit of a stretch.

How do you explain Elizabeth Warren?
One criterion for a shortage would be the point where actual technical progress is impeded. We are nowhere near that.
Oh, we actually are. Cheaper resources almost always open more options. If you could get programmers for $2 an hour, it would mean that all your QA resources could be programmers too. You could build each project twice, then take the better of the two.
And there are plenty of boring automation tasks that businesses do that they can't afford to have automated. Microsoft CRM is incredibly customizable in order to meet this market. Another example is SAP. It sucks in so many ways, companies would be better off writing their own custom software in-house. But they can't afford that, so they go with SAP instead.
As something becomes more affordable, legitimate uses open up for them. Think of secretaries: a good secretary that can take dictation is much better than computer-dictation software, but they're too expensive, so the software is a secondary substitute.
What you have is a handful of companies (Facebook, Google) paying absofuckinglutely outrageous salaries and benefits. Then you have no shortage of companies paying obscenely good salaries and benefits.
Oh yeah, that is a problem. Those companies paying lesser salaries should pay more, like Google and Facebook.
The F-350 is a truck. Why on earth would anyone lust after a truck?
Oh man, if you have to ask, you'll never know. F-150 Raptor is beautiful too.
Actual blue collar construction workers drive, in most cases, an old mid nineties hatchback or 4 door sedan.
But they lust after the F-350.
Zero-day attacks occur during the vulnerability window that exists in the time between when vulnerability is first exploited and when software developers start to develop and publish a counter to that threat.
Zero-day vulnerabilities make hackers happy because the users don't know about it, and thus can't prevent exploitation. Once the vulnerability is made public, you can block access to that port, or disable the functionality, or avoid exploitation in other ways. It is no longer a zero-day vulnerability.
IF the vuln was made public 5 days ago, then it's a five-day vuln. If the vuln was made public 10 days ago, then it's a ten-day vuln. Once it's patched, it's no longer a vulnerability. That is where the name 'zero-day' comes from.
"It might not be the Klan or the white nationalists, it could just be a random person who found my address and didn't like what I was posting," he said. "I understand my address is public record. If someone wants to find where you live, they can find where you live, no matter who you are. I'm really not intimidated by that."
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
