This messes with your AP placements though. Depending on your AP placements, you may or may end up with deadspots. You need to be sure that your AP placement is sufficient when taking this strategy. And yes, I take this strategy too.

That being said, Github is now owned by Microsoft and Microsoft has a very strong relationship with the Chinese government such that they provided a custom version of Windows 10 for them. https://www.theverge.com/2017/

It is the CEO's job to set the organizational culture and expectations. CEO doesn't need to know what's going on farther down the food chain, but the CEO is responsible for setting the culture in which they make their decisi

I work in China. I wire money out of China on a regular basis to my home account in Canada. Have to give copies of tax forms and a copy of my contract to the bank, but that's about it. Other than that, it's the same as wiring m

Is SpaceX already that big to be in the class of overweight titans like Intel?

Precisely why I pee sitting down unless I'm at a urinal. I did not need to do this when I was younger and shorter.

I would say yes. Ronald Coase did some excellent work to explain how transaction costs get in the way of optimizing economic activity among and within firms. Traditional marketplaces would clearly have higher transaction costs than these

Out of curiosity, is this a good idea? I'm no oceanologist, but I'd figure using tidal waves for energy would deplete the tidal waves of energy, no? And then that may have unintended consequences on ecosystems and climate? For

Wouldn't a tarp get in the way of sunlight, stopping photosynthesis?

Fair enough. It would be. I'll use that from now on.

Right, but I am talking about the people who call it a hoax and not real. Hence the term denier.

Is there a better term I could use? I thought that was a fairly neutral and nonderogatory term.

I think this makes sense. But I also think it's not easy because I posit that the people most susceptible to being swayed by extremism or conspiracy theories on Facebook are also the same people who would scoff at the concept of polit

Easier to do that if software requirements don't keep growing. If people were satisfied with lower resolution photos and videos, lower-quality graphics in mobile games, etc, etc, they'd find it much harder to release newer models

Hah, I guess since I don't really watch reality TV shows, the Netflix algorithm will just never recommend them to me.

I'm not really a watcher of Netflix, but could you give some examples of what you're talking about? I didn't even know that Netflix did reality TV for example. And everything I've ever read or heard about top-tier acto

I think the biggest thing honestly is just having a good manager. If you don't have a good manager, and they don't support making you visible, it's quite the fight to become visible.

Hahaha, of course, if I really knew the answer to that, I'm sure I'd be doing much better than I am. :D But I've sometimes had success with the following: - get attached to high-visibility problems or initiatives, which

Probably because the organization doesn't have a great technical culture. It is a red flag, but understanding that it's not an easy problem to solve is helpful. It's not easy to find great technical managers, especially in

Getting the app upgraded or changed to not need 2008 is the hard part. If the app could run on a later version of Windows, this would be really easy. I'm sure you can appreciate how difficult that might be. For custom apps, it could

Haha, I was referring to the app server that's still running 2008. I guess maybe my comment wasn't relevant, as it's not a DC. Just thought I'd throw my frustration out there. :)

I'm trying to get off! It's not easy! These apps won't run on a later version of Windows Server, they're too old! Tell my boss to give me more budget to get things done properly! :(

To be fair, I didn't know this and learned something. So wasn't pretty clear to me. I imagine there are others.
