Yep, mine is pretty much solely on Wifi and is only about a year old, so that may be why. I really don’t use it for anything other than just health tracking and when I drive with maps and such. So I’m sure usage, age, and connectivity all c

My series 7 easily makes it a full day, closer to two days. It also charges really quickly. I put it on the charger for about 30 mins to an hour in the morning while reading emails and it’s done.

Same here - have three 27inch 4k Ultrafine monitors and fonts render just fine (and are generally amazing).

At least for me, I like wood working for many of the reasons I like engineering - I like building things! One aspect of wood working I really enjoy is how peaceful it can be, in that it can get you away from your phone and other electronics

Wow, sorry to hear that. Can definitely introduce significant mistrust in the system and for good reason. Hope things have worked out better in the long term for you though!

Very interesting! I actually have both Crohn’s and bipolar disorder, and one anecdote that’s interesting (to me) is that the TNF inhibitor I’m on, which has put Crohn’s in remission, has simultaneously appeared to have a positive effect on

Will be interested to at some point see what kind of connection gastrointestinal autoimmune (among others) diseases such as Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis have on not only the guy microbe balance, but mental health as well. Many mental heal

Yep, ex parte family law orders should be available for extreme situations, but they are widely abused, only need to meet a legal standard of preponderance of evidence, do not require underlying criminal conduct, and can deprive a person of

Yep, concur with this - having children and a family gave me a sense of fulfillment and purpose that has never really diminished. Won’t say every day is amazing or life is any less difficult. However, there is definitely something to be sai

How IS it a fundamental human right? Access to information is conferred through a variety of human made constructs (including laws, which can enable or disable access) and I disagree that universal access to information is generally underst

That’s halfway reassuring at least. Wonder if it’s gonna be out of their hands though (e.g., Microsoft or Steam inhibiting their ability to do it), as opposed to Sony preventing them. It will be interesting to see if the transition the exis

Interesting! I wonder how this bodes for Bungie's relatively recent cross-play and cross-save functionality in Destiny 2 (or future games). They executed on it extremely well and it has been great to play on PS4 and Steam without any h

Look for companies on the smaller to mid size businesses that do IT services consulting. Companies and the expectations of sales on the product side are much different from what I have seen (or enjoy).

Technical/consultative sales. The kind where customers come to you and are looking for advice/solutions, not the kind where you’re cold calling or fighting for leads. Sales professions get a bad rap and rightfully so in some cases

Great points and with that, I would say with that success, in my opinion, should be far more an internally derived metric than an external one. Sure, material success is one form of achievement in life. However, there are so many other form

I started using Microsoft Authenticator for work, since I have several O365 accounts that require it. Ended up really liking it and use it for all of my TOTP now, with Bitwarden as my password manager. Also have a yubikey, for other purpos

There is a concept in negotiations known as “anchoring”. It can actually be beneficial to put forth the first number, although at a extreme advantage to yourself (high or low). By doing that, you set an anchor at that offer and the other pa

One of the best combinations I have seen was with hierarchies that allowed for two people at the “top” of the local hierarchy. One who is more of a generalist and people manager, with the other being an experienced technical SME. I do not l

Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but wouldn’t those two non-technical roles have pretty significant reason to have ownership/input into a product? I could see extreme positions on every end I guess. The Marketer has no idea what is t

Glad they were in Afghanistan and had any kind of level of understanding beyond superficial to make that evaluation. Aside from that, I did not ask about, nor do I care, what you think of my time in Afghanistan. I am more than capable of e

No, my comment does nothing of the sort and neither you, or him, know anything about me. Believe it or not, the world is not black and white and people do the best they can given a variety of factors in front of them. However, I am glad you

by bladegash 5y ago
The comment about being in Afghanistan was intended to convey that assuming information was released putting people in harms way, that I and people I cared about would have been directly impacted.

Fortunately you and I do not individually make that decision. Society does and it has deemed, through democratically elected leaders and participation in a social contract that there is a case to be made to state secrets.

by bladegash 5y ago
That's a good question and I am not 100% sure where I would personally/morally draw the line. I think the conversation would be much different if all that were released was the evidence of what people consider to be a war crime. H

Thank you for the thoughtful response and I especially liked the way you put the dilemma related to how the internet breaks borders. Similar to you, it's challenging to wrap my head around and is a pretty big paradigm shift in terms of

Sure, that could happen and be the result out of all this. I think that is jumping to the worst possible conclusion though and the result will be a bit more nuanced than that.

You do not draw a distinction in intent between informing the public and furthering the goals of a foreign adversary? Not saying he was, just an example, of how intent absolutely does matter from a legal perspective.

No, that is not what I said, nor is that what my point is/was. To reiterate, "Further, I am of the opinion, being someone who was quite literally in Afghanistan when he leaked the information he did, that any probative value of th
