Engineer: In my current job, I have _one_ 30 minute meeting a week, in a company of 100 staff, and maybe 20 developers. At worst, in a previous job, where I was the system architect, I probably spent close to 20 hours a week in scheduled me

Xamarin / Mono / .NET? It's maybe a lower bar than leaping into XCode and Swift, and it's possible to deploy on both iOS and Android if using Xamarin.Forms ... Not really a recommendation, but something to consider, may

Because it has repeatedly demonstrated that it's untrustworthy! Sure, some of that might be just hype around the bad things. But the sheer number of thefts, scams, hacks, etc, means that for many (most?) people, using a cryptocurren

Given the multiple choice answers provided, I think my experience with remote work is fairly different to that motivating your understanding of the problem. The tool support for productive remote teamwork is pretty bad. The fact that Slack

I guess there's some context here that isn't in your description? While test scores might be indicative of your aptitudes at different types of problems, unless you're actually struggling with your work, it mightn't be a

I'm not sure what your point is here. Ok, Eric is not a climate scientist (or if they are, they're perhaps not a very good one). And one graph that they've pointed to as demonstrating what actual climate scientists are conce

The "manager" is just an hourly-rate employee with a slightly different set of permissions and duties. They have no greater investment in the outcome than anyone else on the staff. But the same thing almost certainly applies to e

I was coming from the other end. I've repeated seen claims that livestock contributes a significant fraction of global greenhouse emissions. eg. most recently, a claim of 17% in this article https://a16z.com/2019&#x2F

If you're after a dialogue, perhaps the term "denier" might be seen by those who are skeptical as a little pejorative?

A quick look at Terrapass, and their individual calculator, doesn't seem include any information about diet? Perhaps I was looking at the wrong one?

There are plenty of religious observances from various traditions where an historical literal act has been replaced by a symbolic representation. I don't think it's a problem, if the economics are in place.

If an effective carbon tax is introduced (see #1) then the price of meat will rise astronomically, which will make reduced consumption inevitable. In many places, climate change will make existing agriculture unsustainable, so there'll

My list isn't quite that long, but I'm using Franz to put most of them into a single window (albeit, with many tabs). Sadly, it doesn't work with iMessage, nor Signal. I just wish it was a native app, although I appreciate th

No. Why would I trust some random third-party with this? Especially given that presumably customers of such a service might have some reason to secure their traffic, the value of subverting it is relatively high. I can run a VPN on a $5&#x

Also note that the "1 year" thing is only true in the US (I think), and that in most jurisdictions, disclosure immediately prevents patenting. IANAL, etc.

I don't think there's any question that this is true. There are some efforts to address it (eg. SSL, Mongo, etc), but they're the first "drafts" if you like. When a majority of the users of free software were progra

When I get a new phone, my email (and calendar, and contacts) settings migrate seamlessly. I've upgraded 3 times over the last decode (iPhone3GS, iPhone5S, iPhone6S) with no issues. Same with a new laptop (4 times in about 15 years) -

I (nearly) always use a local app for my email too -- the UX is just so much better. So far as being in the Cloud goes, all the email is kept in IMAP folders "in the Cloud", I just have a local cache in the Mail app.

On my laptop, I use Apple's Mail.app, rather than a browser. When I switch to my phone, also using the iOS Mail application, it's all synced up. I seldom need to log in: the Mail apps use my keychain to sign me in to all the accou
