But they can just fire you. Ability to do stuff on your own time isn't a protected class.

I'm in Seattle and business comcast is good here too.

Free for micro for a year if you're new.

disclaimer: I work there.

I was reading more about this and from the other perspective, it sounded like underperforming employees were given the option of getting fired (what ever other company does all the time) and lose their options, or move to another, lower position and have their compensation adjusted to match their new position.

In an at-will employment, you are not entitled to your options/shares until they vest. There is no employment contract.

I think a lot of employees think they have rights that they don't have.

When I interview on the whiteboard, if they say they don't know what methods a hash has (or whatever), I tell them to just make up whatever methods they want and if I don't understand what they're talking about I'll ask them. They're frequently working in a language I don't know, anyhow.

I'm not looking for someone with an ability to write in any particular language, just someone who understands basic programming concepts. You don't need autocompletion to show me that you know how to use data structures and such.

Yes, it can always swap out. The compiler has no visibility into whether the memory space it is executing in is actually mapped to physical ram.

But like other people said, it might take a really long time.

I would pay the $200 early upgrade fee for the privilege of paying another $200 to get an iPhone 4S if it did this.

seriously.. just turn it off

In an email, an Amazon spokesperson said "users can completely turn off the split-browsing mode and use Amazon Silk like a conventional Web browser."

Why do you have a problem with that pricing structure? You pay for what you use. S3 charges for exactly the things that cost them money to do on your behalf.

In fact, that's not even true. Inbound data is free, which greatly reduces the cost of backing up infrequently used data into S3.

With S3 there is no "unlimited storage for a fixed price..until we tell you that you have too much". You can have as much as you pay for.

and 50% more expensive. $200 vs $300
