Its a startup. You will become fantastically rich as a founder/early employee if the startup takes over the world. You don't take over the world working a 9-5.
People entering this environment SHOULD know what they're signing up for. Its not like startups are the only jobs out there.
It's significantly weakening one of the US's greatest geopolitical enemies for a small fraction of the US defense budget.
Even if you don't care about the US's geopolitical aims and want to reduce the defense budget, eliminating Russia as a military threat is the best justification for reducing the defense budget and stabilizing European democracy.
An absolutely disgusting response, to the point where I don't think you read the article or have a vested interest in preventing action.
This isn't about "the US recognizing the caste system" or even about who is responsible for it. It's about preventing very real, very tangible discriminatory effects happening to people TODAY, right now. When the time comes to prevent actual, quantifiable harm, slippery slope arguments and debates about the origin of the problem help absolutely nobody.
I used to work at the Rochester LLE! I never worked on capacitor logistics, but I heard that it was a PITA to work with local utilities to get those on the grid (but nowhere near as much as the PITA to get that building zoned for Brighton in the first place)
Honestly, your discouraging attitude towards negotiation is far more disgusting. Negotiation is the only tactic employees have these days for market-rate compensation adjustments.
Depends on the level of clearance you're going for. TS/SCI w/ Full-Scope Polygraph (the highest intelligence community level) covers the last 10 years, with a heavy emphasis on your activities in the last 5. They'll interview friends, employers, teachers, neighbors, etc. going back 5 years (but you get to pick the ones to be interviewed). They'll also run FBI background checks on you and your family (including extended family) and you'll be required to turn in financial info annually.
I worked on government projects at Azure for years. Their US Government cloud is a second-class citizen. Getting the average engineer to care about problems with their their offerings in government clouds relative to the commercial cloud is like pulling teeth.
"Will the government ever allow something like that?"
It's not that they won't allow it, its that its largely useless. The dollar is fungible. Who cares if a dollar spent on a new M1 Abrams was "your dollar", its identical to everyone else's dollar, so everyone else's dollar could have substituted yours. What benefit would knowing that possibly provide?
