This depends entirely on org culture. I've worked at places where I had to go thru an absolute gauntlet of "prep" meetings to hone my talking points for talking with someone several skip levels above my manager. And, I'v

I see where you're going here. It might help if we construct a specific syntax and grammar for writing specifications for software. It'll be helpful for all of us if we can make our specifications as clear and efficient as possibl

You might look into 'Data Artist'. It's a small but growing profession that's a bit of a hybrid of data scientist, data analyst, data journalist, and visual designer. https://www.jerthorp.com/ is one suc

I've done exactly the same thing over the last month and wish I would have made the change sooner. The mobile web is vastly improved with fewer AMP results and new Reddit is just terrible. :shakesfist:

I'd love to know why some of the major companies of the internet aren't using DNSSEC. Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Netflix, etc. don't have DNSSEC enabled for their domains. Is it as simple as they're ju

A number of states ended up enacting laws to solve this exact problem. Lawmakers had to force the big state universities to accept transfer credits from community and regional colleges.

Frontier charges you a router rental fee even if you don't physically possess the router. They'll waive the fee temporarily when you decline the router, but eventually it comes back and becomes immovable. The only way to get rid o

Exactly, every hobby or indulgence has extremes. I'm happy with my ~$200 in coffee equipment and $5-10/lb coffee. But, plenty of other people spend thousands on equipment and buy $20-30+/lb coffee. And, some people drink Folg

I don't think architecture has been the driving factor for console exclusives as much as intellectual property. MS and Sony have been in an acquisition war for studios for years in order to lock down exclusive IP. This is a pretty cost

Yes. You should be having this kind of career conversation with your current manager. Together, you should be able to find opportunities to grow and test out manager-like skills (e.g., hiring and managing an intern, mentoring junior devs, b

In my experience, employment law is the one area the service cannot address as they have the conflict of interest with the employer that supplements the cost of the program.

Most do not. > As of June 30, 2019, a total of 21 states plus the District of Columbia have enacted same day registration (SDR), which allows any qualified resident of the state to go to register to vote and cast a ballot all in that day

Huh. I worked at an office with dogs for ~4 years and never experienced pooping or barking problems or heard rumors of such issues. The biggest problem we had were allergies. There was an eventual compromise with dogs only allowed in specif

I'm waiting for a company to start paying $X to the first Y people that passively find illegal streaming. Turn people into fully aware copyright cops on your behalf. You leave an app running in the background and it listens 24x7 for un

I imagine there are a lot of university foundations watching the Purdue experiment while planning their own version of ISAs. Taking loan interest away from banks and injecting it back into university endowments has to be a very appealing id

Pi-hole will also catch all kinds of tracking and analytics requests that are sent via your mobile devices, non-browser apps, etc. There's a whole lot more of your data leaking out into the world than just the stuff that comes and goes

Yes, it's an issue and there's nothing a pi-hole can do to solve the issue. YouTube is the most notable server of ads from content servers, but one can imagine more content providers following suit eventually. However, you can hav

This will almost certainly never get implemented because the community has a more or less accepted workaround. Run more than 1 pi-hole. It's a common-ish practice in the community to have a restrictive pi-hole running in your guest&#x2

Yes. I haven't run it personally, but I've seen lots of positive stories over on /r/pihole with people running pi-hole on reasonably sized SMB and EDU networks.

You might consider adding a VPN tunnel on top of that setup so that your DNS isn't just hanging out in the wild for anyone to find.

Setup a VPN tunnel for your DNS traffic and benefit from your Pi-hole wherever you go. I use Tasker on Android to automatically detect when I'm not on home wifi and then trigger OpenVPN to connect to my home VPN for Pihole and local ne

Yes, but also less so every day. Google has already figured out that they should serve Youtube ads and content from the same servers to limit the ability of DNS based ad filtering. DNS filtering is a cat-and-mouse game that DNS filtering to

You do not need to be a member to access the food court, alcohol sales, or pharmacy. You will need to stop at member services and wait in line to get a temporary pass. It's a deliberate hassle, but by various laws Costco can't sto
