Moving back to the US after living abroad I was used to month long holidays. I applied to a few companies and tried to negotiate 5 weeks PTO. They wouldn't budge. Then 4 weeks. Still no. I offered to drop my salary in exchange for vaca

The Democrats don't care about the deficit at all. The Republicans also don't care about the deficit, except when they're not the predominant party. Then all they do is talk about the deficit. Debtors really don't care a

It's very expensive hardware. I think they are trying to bring TCO down on the operation side with better control plane. I work in hyperconverged systems and it's a bunch of tradeoffs. Nothing I've configured has approached $

They mentioned it really quickly in their Oxide an Friends podcast but, IIRC, prices start at $500k. Some of the audience asked if they were going to do a smaller configuration like half or quarter rack. And they said they were looking into

There was Sealaunch[0] a Russian company. And they had a pretty good track record of launches. But it eventually fell into bankruptcy. At the moment, SpaceX does not have the capability to do ocean launches. [0] https://en.wikipe

My router is a firewall, VPN, DNS server, file server, print server, media server, and Docker host. Like, what can't it do? BTW, I don't use most of those services but it's advertised with them.

I wish BEVs had a some sort of noisemaker. Not as loud or obnoxious as a car horn but loud enough to let pedestrians and cyclists know they are near. I've had more than a few Uber riders wait in front of our garage without realizing it

Probably more White people attending "Black Spring Break" than Black people attending this event.

2 of the 3 Black attendants interview in this piece don't interact with the white attendants beyond a professional level. One is there to race horses, once that's over he doesn't stick around. The other is a homecare nurse wh

It's funny Brian compares NYC to Paris. If there is one thing the French love is to create rules and regulations. I think the team in Paris realized, probably early on, they could work with the marie or against the marie. And work with

They can seek a new provider and integrate new devices. It also puts more pressure on us to keep the devices viable. Our revenue model is dependent on low cost devices working in the field as long as possible.

I'm working on a IoT startup and we'd prefer to rent you the equipment as part of the service. That way there is no confusion. Having customers buy equipment they really don't own seems ridiculous to me.

My problem with term limits is being a politician is a job like any other. You get a performance review every few years. But by the time you get really good at the job you're forced to quit. If there are age minimums for these federal

The company holiday was probably planned months in advance. Usually, contracts are signed and it's very hard to get out of it. They could have not gone on retreat, paid for the hotels and flights anyway, and still laid everyone off. Th

If you aren't measuring performance than it doesn't exist and doesn't matter. So all you have to rely on what it looks like and personal biases. Most companies don't want to or can't do the leg work for a legally co

1. Layoff are rarely performance related. There is too much paperwork involved with performance related firings and layoffs happen so fast and so wide it's usually done by lottery. You could be laid off for performance but no one is go

I constantly have to remind myself that TikTok is a Chinese owned company and while a video like this would be banned in China the algorithm amplifies anti-social behaviour like this in the west. When I see kids around me watching videos li

The service is what it is because the restaurants haven't offloaded paying the staff directly onto the customer. A restaurant owner in the US doesn't care if 1, 25, or 50 servers are on duty. They pay almost nothing for them to be

That's increasingly the case. You have major developers like Suntex and IGY snapping up family owned marinas. Then kick out longterm slipholders. And then rebrand it as luxury.

As a former boat owner I can say there is nothing cheap about living on a boat. Whatever you save on rent the marina will be sure to extract. Want to live on a mooring? Everyone better have the same schedule because you dinghy out together

I'm sure it will get to 20M paying customers, eventually. But most of the inhabited planet is well served by terrestrial 4G/LTE. And the places that don't have terrestrial mobile service are also largely unpopulated. It'

Fun times when our Space Shuttle program shutdown we had to rely on Russian Soyuz to get astronauts to and from ISS. Well, whenever Russia didn't like something the US was doing, guess what the bargaining chip was?
