Everyone is doing this. Tech companies are explicitly hiring women to increase their diversity metrics. I am very confused. Do we make a special case for minorities and women or do we not?
The penis comment at the end was cringe. This place sounds like it would be a difficult place to work for those of us with a family relying on us. The CEO is making sexual jokes in a public blog post. I can only imagine what the office banter is like and how many times per day I'd be zipping my mouth shut for fear of contributing to a joke that would likely see my immediate dismissal at another company.
This doesn't seem like a very professional way to represent your company.
Globalism is just another form of slavery, to corporations and global government. There might not be iron chains, but it's still all about control and power. Unaccountable bureaucrats pulling strings on everything from what your money is worth to restricting information from you about where your food is grown.
No, it's actually not evidence of a pay gap. The study is flawed because it doesn't control for number of hours worked for men and women. It is well known that men work more hours, which would explain why "men get paid more". The study you linked is not wages per hour worked, it's just wages.
The fact that this myth just keeps getting perpetuated by people is ridiculous. If companies could get away with hiring women for less money, why the heck would they ever conspire against women to hire less women!!!
Get the same and/or high quality work from women for a cheaper price or conspire to not hire any women because I hate women I guess? - Pick One.
Yeah man! Feudalism was definitely the way to go. That was the one where bread lines waited on us plebs, right? Oh wait no that was Communism, the one where the breadlines waited on us plebs. Hmm, doesn't seem quite right. Haha silly me, it was the Socialist countries such as Venezuela that got it right!
Give me a break, just because the population got lazy and let crony capitalism take hold does not mean "capitalism is a scam".
This is the future everyone is choosing. You don't own your devices, you don't own the apps you write, and you're not smart enough to be able to decide what is "good" code vs "bad" code. Just let the algorithms, corporations, and governments decide what is best for you. It's much easier that way, after all.
Yes, they were also trying to assassinate the leader of a country who was also on extremely high alert for that sort of thing. This journalist is regular joe, who also happens to be a drug user. Wouldn't it be easier to just spike his drugs, overdose him, shoot him in a "drug deal /robbery gone wrong".
There are so many better ways to assassinate someone, and I think the CIA of all people would know the appropriate amount of force required. Seriously take off the tinfoil, you're just spreading FUD.
Open borders are important for the continued growth of the city. Taxing foreigners explicitly sounds pretty racist and is likely to shift investment to other regions.
Enjoy your cloud botnet OS that spies on you and you will never own, only rent. Thanks for signaling to all companies that being spied on such as in Windows 10 is perfectly acceptable, even welcome!
I'm sure Microsoft is pleased to know they have yet another sucker, happily giving away all their private information for free and Microsoft can continue to rely on the gullibility of the average person well into the future.
Definitely going to check this baby out! I often find myself in client networks on their machines and often run into having to connect to multiple types of SQL databases. It is a pain to lug around 5 tools that arn't statically compiled.
Right, it's hard to grow the company when you destroy your only DB servers and your backups don't work. They are lucky they follow yet another bad practice of having their customer's data in some random stage environment, so they could restore it from there.
There's no excuse for not writing a bash script or ansible playbook when you're spinning up the most important machines that hold the entirety of your business so you can spin up a 3rd, 4th, or 5th, hot standby. I've done it many times. It takes about a day to write it, a day to find the bugs, and a day to test it out. Take a week your first time just to make sure.
I don't see any valid excuse to not have a 3rd database server. This is not complicated, it's just lazy and/or cheap.
No surprise here. Honestly, their team seem to be lower skill or less experienced than I'd have thought.
I would never approve a production system as expansive as Gitlab's to only have two databases in a cluster. That is asking for trouble, and any {sys,db}admin worth their salt will tell you the same. As soon as you need to do anything on one database, you've just lost your cluster policy.
The lack of automation, especially around validating db backups, failover (not having the failover process scripted and tested is _begging_ to have a nightmare at 2am where you're reading documentation on how to fail over a db), etc.
The simple thing of having your hostname / $PS1 say the machine's purpose could have stopped this. All prod machines have a bright red PS1 and a clear name of <type>-<service>-<prod/dev/etc>-<region>-<dc>.corpnet in my setups.
All of this is reflected in their discussion style, meeting style, etc. Ad-hoc, not very carefully designed, random off-hand comments. Obviously a young team with a lot to learn. Nothing wrong with that, but a lot of customers are relying on their skills! Learn quick!
I take one look at the dumpster fire of the high taxes, refugee crisis, housing costs of most European countries and I know that taxpayer supported system is not long for this world.
It's a security feature, often malware will send encrypted traffic over 443 in an attempt to bypass firewalls. If BlueCoat can't understand the traffic, it drops it as it assumes it's malicious.
