I was recently kicked off of Facebook for lack of an "Authentic Name." Humorously my name was my legal name.
Getting kicked off of Facebook was the best thing to happen to my productivity and mood. My only frustration is that there are several people on Facebook I have no easy method of giving alternative contact info to.
I think it is a bit of a generalization to say younger people mix business and personal lives.
Opposite of you, I'm in my late 20s, the youngest person in my organization; and I get Facebook friend requests from people in their 40s and 50s that I only know at work.
Perhaps it is more accurate to say people who do not have the same values in privacy as you use things like Facebook differently.
I received an email from Vanguard regarding $20 for taking a survey. It seemed phishy as the domain that it was sent from wasn't @vanguard.com (or similar) and the enticement of a monetary award.
I contacted Vanguard regarding this and forwarded them the email. The representative thought it was a phishing attempt as well. I was later contacted by Vanguard and they told me it was legitimate. I was even able to contact the person that wrote the email through a Vanguard number.
Many cards in America have foreign transaction fees. There may be other fees associated as well.
That said I have looked into cards with no foreign transaction fees for future international travel. They do exist, but one more issue is making sure they support "chip and pin" for European countries.
But, that is with the federal government. 3 Weeks vacation + holidays & sick leave is nice, but with furloughs I'm beginning to look elsewhere for employment.
I know spacex is hiring, a buddy of mine left for them.
I asked my friend, a native German, about that last summer when I was in Germany.
She said a lot of times that money does not even go to the person cleaning the toilets.
I did pay 1 euro to use a bathroom in a train station. It seemed to be similar to US truck stop bathroom/showers. As soon as I left they cleaned the bathroom.
Without altitude and temperature a Mach number is rather useless. (Depending on altitude the temperature and pressure changes which has an effect on the speed of sound.)
Also was this just the Mach experienced at the leading edge?
I took that as a paraphrased quote from a tech journalist.
I hope you are right though.
I know from my experience with Flash on Linux that it is insane, Flash eventually consumes 4gb of memory and slows my computer to a halt. I finally just removed the plugin and browse without flash.
SXSW isn't a tech conference. It's a music/film festival with an "interactive" section.
I don't think I would consider the interactive section which is primarily made up of bloggers and web startups(and not focused on the tech they use) as a tech section. Bloggers are not tech oriented(unless they primarily write about some sort of new technology).
I went a few years ago for just the music festival and had a blast. Andrew W.K. showed up and did a scavenger hunt under a highway overpass. I had one of those expensive badges and found other badge holders were pretty nice. Chatted with someone from SOMAFM for a while.
Actually radio stations pay licenses for rights to songs for satellite/internet radio, while music is sent to radio stations for free through promoters.
I work at a small college radio station (http://kmnr.org) we have been working with SoundExchange to get licensing for internet broadcast in addition to our radio broadcast.
