This cable is ok, but it is overpriced. I can sell it for only $4000 per meter. Of course if you want a true high performance cable, we offer that too, but it is $6500/meter, with a certificate of compliance showing that it passed the

Your logic is not wrong, but I think the part you are omitting is that most managers really do not know how to manage. In most companies nobody REALLY has a good feel for how much work someone should get done in a given amount of time, or w

I am doing this sort of thing, mostly in a specific domain (physical security), but starting to setup some calls with other consultants to go over the kinds of topics you describe, and related things. Email me: brian@pelicanzero.com if you

IMO it is more Marketing than Integrity. I would be surprised if this article was completely organic, most likely their PR department reached out to journalists to do a story on how great this CEO/company is. Not saying he is not due h

I ran into someone who had interviewed at my company, we were bot on an inter-airport shuttle in I think Berlin. He was based in CA, I was in MA, and we weren't really in the same industry (his knowledge base was tangent to what we did

Interesting. I just came across an old email from Eric this morning, looking for something else in my inbox, telling me I was the first official customer. This was before the kickstarter I think, when it was announced on HN. It was a fun th

We’ve had Boxers for several years now, 5 as puppies and 1 rescue at 2.5 years old. I’ve noticed a fairly large difference dog to dog from the same breed. Some have been quick learners, and others not so much. One of our current dogs can le

The documentation is not the burden as much as the requirement, or at least expectation, to adhere to the published specs once they are published. By not releasing any info they are not burdened with having to stay consistent on driver deta

Yes, of course. Though most people who understand that are already doing things to mitigate exposing these devices to open internet access. My comment was targeted more towards anyone who might not have considered the risks, or might not be

Well, most IP cameras cannot be accessed this way when you look at the global pool of IP cameras. However many on them on Amazon, particularly from OEM companies like Reolink that are more of a custom relabeller vs. a real camera manufact

I very rarely use Windows, but when I wanted to do a screen recording I heard about the X-Box gamebar thing. IIRC, it required a version of Windows other than the base license level and you had to sign into a Microsoft account just to use i

I didn't mean it that way, and it's all relative really. There are a ton of houses above and below my price point.

Mine is pretty accurate ($2.5M), based on recent sales and a couple of solicitations from realtor friends. FWIW, we have had a high frequency of home sales in the past year, so that might help. I just looked up my previous house (sold 5 ye

Somewhere I have some Cascade coffee mugs and a couple of HubSpot shirts. You'd have to be a bit old-school to recognize Cascade or the logo[0]. HubSpot is (I think) more well-known. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

This is the same thing for me. Short version is that I'm from Detroit area, lived in NH for a while, and now reside in Tampa area. My cellphone has a 603 area code (NH). But since I'm not from there, the only 603 numbers I care

I do something similar when writing longer things like papers. I'll think about the general topics I want to cover and the order, highlights, etc., and then I can write 10 or 20 pages more or less as a continuous flow.

Yes, absolutely, and this is why fraud detection is often as much art as science. In the example above, you have someone coming in making a large purchase, which is probably odd if you've never seen this person before (eg: you would ha

Twitter could be improved by requiring a proof of work effort before posting any tweets. The effort could be computational, or just proof of fact checking and basic proofreading would go a long way.
