You should really pay attention to the replies to your comment. I have 14 years of development experience and would never apply for this position because I can tell you right now that you're paying well below market. If that's NOT the case, I'd recommend you drop the "Entry/Mid" prefix and add what you're asking for: "Qualified". But expect to pay for it.
And this is why the model would not work. I don't believe that there are enough people who would find fulfillment in flipping burgers, unclogging toilets, roofing in AZ in July...

I think you missed the "worth it" part, which substitutes for the "fulfilling" part. Unattractive but low-skill jobs would see higher wages (and, thus, greater incentives to find labor-saving alternatives) until the utility people doing those jobs provided to others was reflected in the reward people doing those jobs received.
Well, then McDonalds can offer more money to work there. Obviously, McDonalds wants to stay in business, so it has to offer up some incentive to get people to work for them. If they offer enough money, there will certainly be people who would work to flip burgers.
The jobs' salaries match what they are actually worth, and can't be offered as minimum-wage jobs that people take because they don't have any money and can't get a job elsewhere.
> Well, then McDonalds can offer more money to work there.
Which means burgers will cost much more than they currently do.
The same will be true for all domestic products/services where a significant part of the work force currently has low wages.
Which means that you and I will pay more for goods/services than previously. The effect will be similar to a significant sales tax, might as well try funding BI that way (at least imported goods will carry some of the tax burden) and look at published studies on the effects of sales taxes...
not to mention mc donalds business would probably boost since now everybody can afford to have some junk food if they feel like it, paying some more wouldn't be a problem, I imagine.
On BI, it would be very difficult to afford the latest iPhone. If you have no skills but you want an iPhone you can either skip a few hundred meals or you can flip burgers and clean toilets for a few hours.
Don't worry, the hedonistic urge is stronger than laziness in most people. Especially since lazy usually implies watching TV which continuously bombards you with advertisements to buy things...
Pretty much this. The interest rates on both sides seem just thought up on the spot to prove his own point.
Second, if I were to buy a house, I'd first go to my bank to check what kinda mortgage I could get, see how much that would cost me a month, and only then find a house.
Third, can't really compare rental homes with bought homes around here (netherlands); rentals are usually apartments and the like, while bought houses are... well, real houses.
Fourth, you get more house for the same amount, or pay less in mortgage/interest when you buy a house. I choose to rent for now, because the main advantage over renting vs buying is flexibility. I can give my landlady a one month notice and I'm outta here. Not so with buying a house; you've got to sell it, and hope that you can use that money to pay off your mortgage, or whatever. You're pretty much stuck on a 25-30 year mortgage if you get one.
For direct offerings, I'm seeing rates as high as 4.5% and higher for 30 year CDs, I see a brokered 15-year CD new issue coming up at 3.5%, and several 10-years north of 3%.
That's commonplace in Panama to have USD CDs at that rate or better. But choose a very large international bank (e.g. Scotiabank) because they're not FDIC insured.
I completely agree. This resume is a great way to filter out companies looking for front end drones to sit in a cube and work in a bureaucracy.
He's identifying himself as fitting into a certain culture of organization. Some of the comments here are a perfect example! Anyone that criticizes this as "inefficient" or that it's "making getting the details difficult" is missing the point. He doesn't want a soul-dead HR minion to find his details.
Is it just me or does this title seem misleading? It appears (from the article) that WordPress took down an article because of an abusive use of the DMCA and is legally required to do so...
"WordPress is legally required to respond to DMCA notices, but also instructed Hotham how to counterclaim, though one of the requirements was to "consent to local federal court jurisdiction, or if overseas, to an appropriate judicial body"."
And...
"In a statement, WordPress said it recognised that this was an abuse of the DMCA law.
"We think this was a case of abuse of the DMCA and we don't think that taking it down was the right result," said Paul Sieminski, general counsel for WordPress parent company Automattic. "It's censorship using the DMCA.""
Even if you might not like it, you have to conform to the law. If the law says you can't kill somebody, you don't, no matter how much you believe they deserved it.
If the law says you take down a page after receiving a DMCA notice, you take down the page.
If you don't, you will be punished. That's how the law works.
WordPress not complying with the DMCA could have the effect of them losing their safe-harbor status which might very quickly lead to them going off the net completely. The monetary issue aside (going off the net would mean they lose all of their revenue), is it worth losing all WP.com hosted blogs just to temporarily keep one online?
"is it worth losing all WP.com hosted blogs just to temporarily keep one online?"
The outcry from WP's users would help to push our politicians toward a real solution to copyright rather than another hand-out to well-connected corporations.
> WordPress not complying with the DMCA could have the effect of them losing their safe-harbor status
You cannot lose your status "globally" by choosing not to act on an individual notice. Each notice you respond to provides safe harbor from the potential copyright infringement suit over that one piece of material. All WP would be risking is being sued for that one interview, not the rest of their network.
The DMCA does not create any obligations to take down anything. It provides that IF a service provider CHOOSES to take down material in response to a notice, it gains liability protection for any copyright infringement it was committing by hosting that material. If WordPress believes the notice is being used for censorship reasons, and there was no infringement occurring, and thus no actual risk of being liable for hosting it, then ignoring the notice is both perfectly legal and there's zero benefit to complying with the request.
> I wake up, shower, and drive to work early to have breakfast. I spend all day at work, go to the gym and have dinner, do a little bit more work and don't get home until 9 or 10 every night. My apartment's sole purpose has become a place for me to sleep.
I'm glad he's happy (right now), but this is exactly why I will never work for a company like Yahoo. I absolutely love what I do. And I protect it by ensuring I have healthy boundaries. No, Yahoo isn't "taking care" of you Ben. They're taking advantage.
Yup, exactly. I've been at Y! for almost 4 years and when I started I was absolutely a workaholic, but over the last 3 years I've transitioned into having a much healthier (and happier) balance. You can certainly work as much as want at Yahoo, but I don't think too many feel forced to.
