It's hard to believe that page is not satire.

How can you possibly know without reading the actual review, and also at least skimming the paper?

Too many offers is a result of more demand for programmers than supply of programmers. This can happen because of a bubble, or it can happen for other reasons. You can't automatically conclude it's a bubble.

Look for valuations to become unreasonable, that is the true sign of a bubble.

Then say what is going while also being technically accurate. To do otherwise makes you look ignorant.

Oh. In your initial comment I interpreted your writing to mean that they were targeting science. Whereas I interpret their actions to be targeting the EPA.

That seems like a better metric, but anything under 6% is 'full employment.' You don't want 100% employment because there will always be people who quit to look for new jobs, etc.

Instead of merely looking at the unemployment number, also look at the number of people who have been searching for over six months, and how many have dropped out of the workforce completely (although to get a clear picture, you should also try to determine why they dropped out).

oh? You can go innovate your buzzword into the cloud!

Using a crappier measurement of inflation doesn't improve your argument.

But they don't have a cloud-computing based audit of the source code (really.....according to the article, that is what the openssl team is waiting for; ok, they call it 'high-powered-computing' but a buzzword is a buzzword).

The standard metric.....when the economy shrinks, it's a recession. When the economy grows, it's not a recession.

If you're a programmer, that's not why you're out of work. You're out of work because you don't know how to look for a job. Stop with the hair-brained theories and try to figure out why your interviews are going so badly (it has nothing to do with visas).

If you don't know how to use a word, then why are you using it? Words have definitions. Use the word that means what you want, not the one that doesn't.

This is not complicated.

Bro, calm the rhetoric, America exited the recession by the end of 2009. (If 'recession is not what you meant, the use a word that means what you meant).

In my entire life I've never met anyone who filled that requirement.

Is there anyone who believes that wasn't the primary motivation? Even the corporate spin: "focus on future innovation" is standard corporate-speak for "spending money elsewhere."

It's not even 'spin,' that is the most straightforward way to interpret Disney's corporate statement.
