I have an RV I like to use often, and have been watching this with quite a bit of interest. Additionally, some of the phone companies are starting to have 'real' 5g home connections that compete with cable. While I live in a subu

I have compared with a friend that wanted to get her tubes tied, and the doctor insisted she might change her mind, should wait a few years, and wanted her to speak to her partner about it. I asked for a vasectomy, and the doctor scheduled

I have a few friends that think the stats I show them are a complete lie and fabrication, but the truth is: more people from pistols than 'assault rifles'. In fact, in the US, more people die from knives than rifles. (not just the

I have had to have the same conversation with co-workers who have been developing for many years, but using tools like SVN, or similar Microsoft code repos that require a centralized repo.

I understand your point, but at the same time, I don't want the same "it is like a series of tubes" guys mandating some airplane technology pushed by the highest campaign contribution either.

Why would they choose you, when the contracted company can bill $300/hr per developer for 'change requests' to fix the system. They don't want to fix it, they want to fix each individual problem as it comes up.

What blows my mind is the newest NOAA super computer (that triples the speed of the last one) is a whopping 12 petaflops. It comes online this summer. It kind of shows the difference in priority spending, when nuclear labs get >1000 peta
