Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
I was married to a lawyer for years. They have to bill somewhere from 1700-2200 hours a year to stay on partner track. And they can’t bill every hour that they’re working (although they can double up sometimes by using the minimum 2/10ths of an hour). My sympathy is with the lawyer. It’s not a power dynamic, it’s how the firm makes money and what you’re there to do.
There’s an old joke about how long it takes to prepare a talk in academia. Want an hour? I can do it right now. 30 minute presentation? I’ll need a few weeks. 10 minute presentation? Better give me one or two month lead time.
God’s honest truth. 5 minutes of reading content gets stretched into 30 minutes of &$#@ video.
Shame on me. It’s a jaw controlled interface. Like speech. Not brain controlled like… telepathy.
You can tell it’s bullshit right away because it’s not anywhere near the brain. How do you pick up brain signals from the jaw? Compare this to what you need for an EEG and all of that gear is there to just record responses to pulses of light.
Insider threat. My organization archives our town halls with the President. There are hours of video available on the internal site.
I think this is a very limited definition of the word “skills”.
It is now. The widdle puddy tat dates to 1989.
I don’t disagree with that, but she knew exactly what she was brought in to do and jumped in with both feet. Would it have been someone else if she turned the gig down? Of course. But she said yes so it was her.
The Linux program that had a cat chase your mouse was Neko.
I remember Carly Fiorina getting hired and almost immediately things started turning to shit.
The BSD license allows incorporation of BSD code in non-free projects. That was both an advantage for capitalists while simultaneously moving hobbyists away from it’s development. Kind of an important bit of info.
Coincidentally that’s the year I finished grad school and was probably at the peak of my tech savviness. Things have changed a lot since then. On all fronts.
I’ve been out of it. What do we call “Master” and "Slave " drives now?
This is a shame. I have a foot in the Emergency Management world and one of the things we always recommend is POTS - plain old telephone service. It’s always worth having a landline around because it is very robust against network disruptions when communications count.
Libertarian. Not liberal.
They are explicitly out in the middle of nowhere because of freedumb.
Because their continued employment depends on them hitting their targets so they need support staff to do their jobs.
