If you are going to be wishing for things like the perfect employee (knows lots of languages, is proficient in all of them, is cheap) then you might as well just wish for peace on earth, good will to mankind .. and a pony.

And while you are doing that, take a look a what people with experience in only a few areas are being paid, and then factor in some overheads. Or in other words, is that $100k as salary to them and you will have a bunch of overheads to carry, or is the $100k including overheads? Because if it is the latter then you are going to realistically be offering well less than $100k salary.

You get what you pay for, and if you cheap out on a salary you are not going to get people anywhere near as good as you think you need which has the potential to damage you business.

Yeah .. but without education how will the locals know how misplaced is their belief that the US is the best country in the world?

What do *you* do when you're driving and there is direct sunlight in your eyes, or you encounter rain/fog?

If you could get the software to be half as near as good as peoples eyes and simply take peoples stupidity out of the equation then you'd end up with a system that was miles ahead of manual driving.

That isn't geeky .. thats just common sense as every man and his dog is posting on youtube now days . And I for one have not heard of the dead terrorist routine because I prefer David Strassman over Jeff Dunham.

First of all .. WTF is "Promote Stage Comedy in a Geeky way?" . To paraphrase a short green hairy dude "Promote or don't promote .. there is no geek in it".

Secondly .. he doesn't have an HBO special because (by your own and his estimation) he is not mainstream. No matter how much promotion you do, your potential audience will always be small if you only fill a niche.
 
Thirdly WTF is this doing here?!??!?

First of all .. your reply is a perfect example of a straw-man logical fallacy. I never said anything about 100% correct software, or your boss presenting you with documentary evidence that you have been paid.
 
What I was saying was that there is a world of difference between a wishy-washy statement of "I guess" and an explicit "I believe". Sure it doesn't change the facts of what happened, but it does imply that the boss is actually in charge of the process, and is aware of the current disposition of his business.

It's not the process, its the description .. which doesn't lend much credence to the quality of the release.
 
How would you feel if your boss said "I guess we paid you", at the end of your pay period. Sure the accountants did their work and you did get paid, and you can go to your bank account and see the deposit, but what would your bosses comments make you feel about the entire pay process?

From the almighty google (but yeah a link in theTFS would be the least you'd expect)

This seems more like it belongs on the DailyWTF

Tell that to the operators of a certain drone that landed in Iran and see how far you get.

More disclosure is needed here .. that treaty also forbids seat belts.

My latest guilty pleasure is on SyFy channel .. Robot Combat League. Yes it is cheesy. Yes it has the typical reality show emphasis on personalities. Yes they overdo the pyrotechnics. Yes there is probably about 15 minutes tops of real footage in the hour long show (Ya Tivo!) . Yes the robots are all the same basic platform (Nascar of robotics?), but it is fun to watch 8 foot tall, 800 lb tele-operated robots walking around and arena and wailing into each other and spewing hydraulic fluid when valves and cylinders give way. And then seeing the attempts at repairs in between rounds.

While it may seem like a superficial show its fun to sit back and try to understand the engineering that went into the combatants, and given that this is a first-of-its-kind series I hope the quality can only go up .. if there is a next season.

Is how many of these fake accounts have real followers!

As far as I am concerned .. an Ass is a four legged animal that is a subgenus of Equus. Now if you were talking Arse .. you'd be heading into a much darker void.
