I had this told to me and had family members told this by doctors. A large number of addicts started from medical prescriptions for legitimate pain. I have been scolded for not taking pain meds.

I have found it relatively easy to just run a local CA for my isolated network. I didn't find it too difficult to setup. I run around 600 servers and about 20x that in IOT devices.

https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/fast11/tech/full_papers... I had 66TB folder that appeared to be 21TB on disk. Granted there was significant duplicate data as this was backups of multiple systems.

Oh, I used this and the performance and deduplication surprised me greatly in ReFS. I was using it as a place to store backups of my systems. The on disk vs the file size was so great that I had to rethink my offsite storage solutions. Ther

I usually see the not able to cope with the volume. I have also seen trap primers and regulators not set correctly so the toilets won't properly flush. I have also never understood why a plunger or a toilet brush was not available in t

I have been of the opinion that everyone needs to hold themselves accountable. The wealthy and the poor and understand why someone does what they do. Public urination? Are there sufficient facilities available? I live in the US and if I am

I am often of the opinion many technical people can't bring abstract ideas across domains. I have seen people recognize things in context and ignore the same idea in another one. They loose sight of the details when looking to high up

It's almost like we need a hybrid model. Some things centrally planned and some things left more free.

Or how many programs in general push Marxist theories in the US.

I have heard this claim before, but I haven't been able to find any strong evidence of this. Can you provide some links to places this has happened to? Developed countries specifically.

Licensing is different for trade employers vs trade people.

Contracting electrical requires different licensing than most trades people have to do their job.

You generally can not go from city water/sewage to on-prem for legal reasons. However, many are going on-prem with solar. I am going almost completely off-grid for cost and SLA requirements.

The current state of cyber security in industrial networks is quite scary. Many systems rely on legacy software and can not be upgraded. Also take into account the old people running the system are often hesitant to try new technologies and

I have tried GnuCash in the past. It was too complicated for my needs. All other budgeting software I thought was too complicated and complex for the average person. I use a spreadsheet to handle my budget. I keep it as a reminder that temp

Some people the money is necessary for survival. Those salaries are not easy to replicate outside of big tech. Making six figures is difficult in a lot of places. When I interviewed for Meta I knew I would accept what they gave me as they w

This one has always bothered me. I literally knew the people who were doing the hiring and they knew me. However, still had to jump through hoops. Got blocked by HR and they were not allowed to even interview me.

I am not a fan of voting for judges. Judges should be determined by technical merits and skills more like hiring a developer. This I think would be better handled by having a diverse group of judges routinely review all decisions by a judge

I was thinking it might be that most people claiming to be a former spy were just posing and not really a former spy. I know the few I dealt with that had the legitimate potential to actually being one were all very low key and wouldn'

There are times when getting someone on a 72 hour hold has been too difficult. I have been in situations where getting a 72 hour hold was necessary but was not possible. I'm glad it worked out for you. I can see both sides of it. I wis
