"EOL hardware should mean open-source software"

It is if you buy carefully: I don't buy hardware that can't be used with linux or whatever I deem necessary. And then, there's the car...


One of my past manager was on a O-1 (in a tech company); he was from india. So, it goes like this, you register to be a presenter in a conference, copy some material from another tech talk and (re-)present it there as a novelty (rince and repeat). Pretty Simple. Step #2, create your facebook, youtube channel (etc.) and buy subscribers (from mediamister.com, getafollower.com, views4you.com, socialwick.com, buzzoid.com, etc) which is perfectly legal; he must have spent 10% of his salary to buy millions of subscribers; and that's how he's been working in tech for the past 10+ years.

Do you have evidence this was true? This sounds like a good story but I thought getting these visas was mostly about revenue receipts, and if he bought a lot of subscribers, they must've been subscribing to something that paid him.

This is just a sad read. And probably worth an in-depth article.

this is good for "the people"; and will hopefully eliminate, to some extend, dark pools and other shenanigans that common mortals don't have access to. How many times have you seen the markets move 1%-2% over night, and couldn't place a trade, while some investment companies can.


Never.

Most people aren't day traders and probably financially benefit from being unable to do so.


I have access to outside regular trading hours trades via my broker, I don't think that's unusual. I don't use it because (a) I don't trade individual securities, and (b) I like there being the opening auction.


infinite money glitch!


1) Because Leadership knows they don't have the competency to manage a project of this size, universities have become expensive adult daycares.

2) See (1) and also because AI can't do it, so they can't handle.

3) Because paper kills trees, and brawndo contains electrolytes, duh.


To quote the university's website:

> Washington University's Executive MBA (EMBA) program provides a holistic approach to managing people, projects, and budgets. It is designed to meet the needs of middle- and senior-level professionals who seek to exercise true organizational leadership in dynamic and changing business environments

Sounds like the perfect people to manage your software projects. Not sure if you'd get a professor, hire phds or make it a student-run program, but surely something can be arranged. Maybe they can even rope in the people from the Information Systems Management courses


it's in fact $66MM, the $200MM is for the kickbacks.


We call those "change requests"


workday is VERY expensive, probably one of the most, my company (150 employees) can't afford it, we ended up using something else, cheaper, and quite frankly, it does the same stuff.


You had a lucky escape! Workday may be the worst software I've ever been forced to use.


Can confirm. It's like they actively try to make it terrible.


You might want to share with the class?


Maybe Rippling?


Whatever you’re using handles international employees (UW has visiting faculty)? It has a student information module to enable course selection, grading records, transcript requests, etc? It supports multi-role entities so you can track workers that are also alums, students that are also workers, and any other weird combination universities run into?

I mean, I’m not saying that $266m isn’t ridiculous and that Workday isn’t very expensive, but to pretend that UW can just use whatever your small company ended up with as a major ERP isn’t realistic. They need to track 35k staff (UW includes a full health system) and 50k students. There’s three total software packages you can take seriously on the market for this, and they all suck in their own way and are all ridiculously expensive and hard to implement.

Edit: wrong university. UWash is much smaller on both staff and students.


They've (so far) spent $7,600 per staff member. They could have employed an actual person to sit besides each group of, say, 10 staff to deal with their ERP needs in person.


UW and Washington University are two totally different, unrelated institutions.


It is very disappointing that Zillow has chosen to remove or obscure important information that could benefit potential buyers. Under the new CEO, this shift represents a 180-degree departure from the company’s original values and stated mission of promoting trust and transparency. Limiting access to key data places buyers at a disadvantage, especially when making significant financial decisions about assets that could lose value due to information not disclosed before purchase. Moreover, given the current and forecasted economic conditions—which are unfavorable for both the real-estate market and Zillow’s own valuation—this is not the time for the company to make decisions that further erode user confidence. This lack of transparency is regrettable.


Agreed, tldr

"Zillow updates products, increasing likelihood of severe financial risk to its end users."


The db48x/db50x project seems to be more promising than C47/R47; although, I wish Swissmicros could produce a db50x version with the right layout (no stickies)


An extra row of keys to match the HP48 would be useful too.


good point, it's within their audible frequency which is between 40Hz to 60kHz (65kHz in some dogs); the knife is 40kHz, so it will drive them completely crazy.
