My neighborhood the Verizon 5G is pathetic, its slower than 4G and that is still slower than my terrible Spectrum wired internet. I only live in the middle of a 5M metro area.

The only option I have is Spectrum with an absolutely crappy upload speed (currently 6MB). Sadly this neighborhood never got any other option. Starlink might finally provide some competition.

As a digital artist I find them highly intriguing to consider. As a person I still can't figure out why people would be paying me for a hash and not actually get anything.

In some countries the government calculates the (simple compared to US) taxes and all you do is approve it. That would be possible here too for most people, but neither politicians (of various stripes) or Intuit wants anything to change. On

Our customers wind up spending a lot of time waiting on services to respond watching loaders. Speed on the app is entirely ignored otherwise, you are just happy you got a result. At a previous job people complained about how slow our iPad a

The F16 was designed and built originally by General Dynamics, Lockheed bought it much later. I worked on it early in my career at GD.

I bought a copy of Turbo Pascal from the Borland booth at the West Coast Computer Fair in 1983 (or 4?). It was amazing product to use; it might be looking at so many years hence, but it still feel like no programming system ever could match

The difference between when I started in 1981 and 1959 is the same distance as today vs 1999, when the Dotcom era was going strong, and the web was still relatively new. I never had to work with punched cards so this is actually new to me t

Currently I have no non-apple kext running, not sure this is a big problem any more other than old legacy hardware or mostly esoteric usage.

Dead on arrival given the current state of the House. I can't even understand why anyone would propose such a thing other than to gain support from the big network companies. I have on shitty option and that's Spectrum even though

Of course they are, it's not like Amazon really cares much. With all the power of AWS and deep learning etc., identifying fake reviews should be a piece of cake if you are Amazon. It doesn't affect the bottom line, so why bother.

This is making finding people for our (large but non tech) company (not in a high tech area) very difficult; we never paid those kind of salaries (cost of living here is much lower) but now you no longer need to be local to work for us, so

Besides those two, a third one is that the IRS has been starved on resources for a long time, mostly (but not exclusively) by GOP politicians who want to make it hard to audit their rich benefactors. I had a friend who worked at the IRS his

All I have is Spectrum in my neighborhood despite being in the middle of a huge metro area. Everyone I work with has AT&T and I am stuck with Spectrum's over priced slow lane as there are no alternatives. Maybe Starlink will finall

Our apps (large well known company) had our legal team thoroughly go through our apps before allowing the privacy information be provided to Apple to ensure it was truthful. It delayed a release by a few days, otherwise no problems. It&#x27

Companies these days expend way too much energy interviewing people, and people then fail to prepare for the interviews or communicate internally afterwards. When I went for interviews I hated it when people did not even read my resume and
