There's an inverse correlation regarding font size and price - the smaller the font, the more expensive the menu.

Just gonna float this out there... Maybe the US is better without so many people in the military. Do we really need to be everywhere? And I'm not saying let's walk away from conflict zones. I'm saying there's not tha

In big tech, people are commodities, not human beings with lives. Its not just shown in the hire/fire cycle you mention, but also in how many companies let the most vile content thrive on their platforms, with no consideration about t

Ha! I laugh because I've done the same exact thing... It is a paradigm shift coming from Cisco to JuniperOS.

Agreed, WARP mode on the Nexus does give some pretty nice port-to-port latencies (for a L3 switch - L1 gear blows them all away).

True, but a lot of companies want to source it all from a single vendor so they can talk to one entity when dealing with configuration/integration issues. Its not how I roll but it is how a lot of big companies operate.

But Arista only has switching hardware and a few other specialty devices (L1 switches from their Metamako purchase). Vendors like Juniper offer load balancers, firewalls and everything else you need for managing a data center or company.

Companies go with Juniper because they can outfit a data center at half the price of Cisco. NYSE did that a decade or more ago with their Mahwah data center. Its not really a bad strategy. If you're going to have a large team of netwo

True that, stand up is hard. I did a little bit and it would take me several hours to just get 1 or 2 minutes of content. And it was still hit or miss. Plus, when a good idea popped into my head, I felt like only had about 10 minutes to w

Its probably because the firing decision was made/approved by committee and 100% by an individual. One can fire an employee but its harder to deconstruct a system.

But by going to 4chan, you are providing ad revenue allowing them to host pretty racist and hateful content. You may be there for the altruistic content, but you can’t separate it from the rest. Is the openness of the other content on 4cha

I'm of the mindset that it takes work to keep democracy, freedom and egalitarianism alive. You can't just let anyone publish anything and think that it will all work out in the end. It is tough because separating freedom of expre

Was the eating of chocolate coins factored in? I think you can consider the reduction of chocolate coins due to consumption as theta . My initial assumption would be that there would be increased theta dependent on proximity to dinner. Plus

The entire commercial aviation industry operates using the english language. All pilots communicate with all airports via english. I'm sure FAs are most proficient in english too. Its the lingua franca of the biz.

$3k/hr to catch a kidnapper is not excessive. $3k/hr to go to a chili cook off is excessive. Police in the US act as if they are royalty. Above the law when the break it, sacrosanct when their budgets are questioned. The one thi

This is hilarious. But lets not take this too seriously and say it proves Chatbots are worthless (or dangerous). People will start to understand the boundaries of chatbots and use them appropriately, and companies will understand those li

But someone else's taxes are. Until we can convince both sides of this conflict that they need to love their children more than they hate their neighbor, this cycle will only repeat.

Not saying I agree with Singapore's methodology. But their calculus is that one drug trafficker will bring in enough drugs to kill 5 people. Therefore, the murder of one person is saving 5 others. Once again, I'm not endorsing o

In the spirit of your comment, there's nothing wrong with spinning your skills to fit the job req. If they ask for 5 years of Golang and you've only worked on it for 2 years, but you have 10 other years of programming - I'd j

Don't worry about it. If you don't chase greed and don't try to beat the markets, you'll do fine with low cost index funds. Investing should be boring.

But checks without oversight are worthless. Local police having a supervisor would be a tangible check on their authority. Totally agree with you on your 2nd paragraph even though I'm a borderline millennial.

I think what he means is that anyone can be elected a local sheriff and because of that, you wind up with sheriffs who have no education or training in law enforcement. Often their lack of knowledge of the law creates situations where they

I think they do receive more funds. And those funds go to training, education and oversight. We need more of that because many of our police really do not understand the roles of their job and the rights of the people they claim to serve

But at least they would have a command structure to which they would be accountable. There's too many small, local police forces that are accountable to nobody. Without any checks on them, they run amok.

US police forces should be nationalized. Having small fiefdoms just encourages bad and undisciplined police behavior. If you look at any US Federal staff, they're typically superior in their level of education, training and professio
