I used to work for a managed service provider and their NOC was the same way. They would cycle through newbie guys constantly since they had a pretty low cap on NOC tech pay. I was a design engineer so I was out of their direct loop, but cl

Same, though I'd phrase it differently. For me at least I feel its more like I'm dealing with unmedicated ADHD and need to slow my brain with tiredness and then jolt it just enough with some Diet Dr Pepper to get the sharpness bac

Which was a fine argument to make when a college degree could be had with minimal or no debt at the end. The equation has changed now that a degree usually comes anchored down by significant debt.

So are all American carriers (ILEC/CLEC/SIP Providers) available or do potential customers have to do service availability checks?

Does this require porting the number? If not how are you gaining control of the SMS in the SMS address database?

Understood, but somehow the discussion ended up around achieving orbital velocity instead of escape velocity (the one relevant to the original sub-thread topic), two very different numbers (though escape velocity is ultimately a higher numb

Probably because the Apple products to make use of it aren’t ready yet. There are references in OS betas to assisted reality head-sets and a Tile competitor, which will both likely access this chip- but since they aren’t ready yet the demos

Isn’t that orthogonal to interplanetary travel though? If you go straight up far enough you’ll be out of Earth’s gravity well. You’ll still need acceleration to escape the solar gravity well, but you’ll never need horizontal acceleration ne

I'm having the effect of not proactively promoting policies/behaviors that don't represent my PoV. Why reward behavior that I find reprehensible? Also, if we keep allowing that false dichotomy to dictate our votes we will be

The re-branded company he was forced out of is now the largest diamond retailer in the world- so I'd say that the problem was him and his mouth, not an inevitable flip in fortune.

The problem is that the President cultivates groups that are nativist. Any good that some of his policies may do will not earn him any credibility if he wipes it away by minimizing the problematic nature of those that seek to use his voice

At this point any such site that you want universally accessible should be refactored into a true standards compatible website. Trying to fix the problem on the browser side is the wrong answer, which is what Microsoft is trying to nudge en

Yep- all the dogs my wife and I have owned have been female- yet, nearly universally, everyone has presupposed them to be male. Our one cat, on the other hand, though male, was presupposed to be female. It's definitely a thing.

Agreed. My father was the Mayor of a medium sized city and stirred controversy from time to time, and was a favorite target of the local press. He loved it- he took some of the cartoons most designed to poke at him and framed them and put t

Neither of which are regulation/moderated- just expensive or needing domain expertise and manpower. It may be 'moderated' in the sense of an optical cable vs a copper one- by its nature there is impedance in the copper one li

Where and how exactly is traditional printing regulated? I can buy a high end typesetting laser printer and print anything I want on it- if it isn't child porn/top secret/libelous I can print anything I want that I've or

He's mis-stating it slightly. You couldn't fiddle with a file's creator code, but there wasn't much reason to. The type codes were editable, in the sense you could choose the default app you wanted to open files of that

I wouldn't mind if it came with a concomitant lack of Chinese controlled comment/voting cadres. While HN eventually re-scores to overcome this usually, it often suffers from suppressed scoring of good comments during the most acti

If an F35 is ever in an actual dogfight it has failed already- it should kill an opponent before the opponent is ever aware of its presence.

Our part of Texas has overfilling dams and our particular town has enough excess water that neighboring municipalities are buying our unused rights from us. Our Texas adapted grass goes dormant half of the year as well so the actual consum

It's a fine line. I've moved up to Network Architect and I'm working hard to replicate my knowledge out to small network team so I don't have to work tickets anymore. One of the reasons for the promotion is the understan

I'm type II and other than the odd fruit juice, only drink artificially sweetened drinks. More and more stevia sweetened drinks recently, which I guess doesn't qualify as artificial though.

May be a sign laying groundwork for an ARM Mac- the 12" MacBook is the obvious target for initial replacement by an ARM variant. By not having a side-by-side Intel-ARM model Apple minimizes market competition and direct performance com
