Yeah, it more than doubles the amount of spectrum available for wifi.

Which is pretty cool, but on the other hand, I've only ever had wifi capacity issues on 2.4ghz-only anyways.

Google "false rape accusations against taxi drivers" and you'll get a lot more...I'd have at least 1 camera maybe 2 if I was a taxi driver. In the US some drunk asshole girl tells the cops you tried to rape her - you face your life being destroyed, her worst punishment if they catch her is mild inconvenience. Not even close to even.

The big corps didn't like being critisized for outsourcing to the most exploitive location, they found critism of them doing this could be recast as "racism".

If you work in tech it's > 50% indians now. The whole "white people in tech" idea is like a decade out of date.

Which isn't to say that it's going great for the indian employees, they usually find they're not allowed to complain, last place I was at they were being worked 7 days/week with no breaks, for angry dominating managers.

If it wasn't so sad it would be funny, how the so called "anti racism" narrative is used to promote basically...recreating a slavery-type system.

^ Ah yes, the narcissists prayer. That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, it is not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did. You deserved it.

This whole thing is about older people (in management positions) trying to drive other older people of their same race out. White people are 1 thing that's bad - they're the dumbest race. You'll see Indians fighting with each other, but you won't see Indians pushing out other indians in favor of other races, like white people do.

This is the different between indians and white people. White people go:
"oh no, no, no - if I do anything that prefers white people I must be racist!"

Indians will say whatever you want to hear but as soon as they're among themselves they go back to:
"well obviously it's morally better to bring in more people like us (other indians) and get rid of people not like us".

[quote]Fresh thinking and Agile mindsets are urgently needed[/quote] "...for me to make millions selling Agile Consulting Services to the government while making the developers hate their jobs and become inneffective"

All the successful "agile shops" I've worked at simply distort agile back to what they were doing before so people can write code without wanting to kill themselves or someone else.

They just sent our "we're going to whip everyone into shape doing agile!" to another state to get rid of him because he was destroying an effective team with agile methodology.

? Point is this kind of tracking is scary for the average person, but unlikely to catch the actual robbers who plan ahead and simply don't bring their phones with them.

"...and it has become a sort of religion -- 'If Agile doesn't work for you, you are not doing it right.'"

I say it's the opposite. Someone wanted to stop coding and make a lot if money "selling" Agile instead.

So they packaged up a well known framework to micromanage employees that appealls to managers. Then to "sell" it they made up all this b.s. about how it make all of developers dreams come true. That's how sales works, you focus on appealling to the people actually making the decision. You tell everyone it will make all their dreams comes true. By the time they realize you're full of it, they've already bought into it.

"What you're telling me is that you and your team failed to understand the ethos of agile development and particularly failed to apply it. You're slating an entire approach because you're incapable of following it. That's ok, not everybody's a good software engineer. Maybe you can get a job in testing or support." Ah, yes, the bullying and utter lack pf responsibility that always comes with Agile. "Not only Agile terrible, but we can actually blame Agile not working - on it's victims!"

I'm so tired of this anti-gun stuff being injected into every conversation.

The goal isn't to help these people, it's to take away their guns so they can't even end their own lives when they're miserable.

You want to make them more miserable, not less.

I've had one person in an interview admit that their company hadn't hired any junior developers since h1b visa workers became available.

My previous boss told me directly that he preferred the indian workers because they work nights and weekends, to fulfill their story points, wheres the other devs would not.

The problem isn't that the h1b are (usually) bad people. The problem is the management above them hires them so they can have people to push around and abuse. I watched an entire indian recruiting company setup a relatively healthy work environment - then get absolutely demolished by the white managers above them and the crazy "new tech" software architects.

Then the h1b's became assholes, but there was clearly a cause for it.
