Just sent a message to my sales team that all Kuwait project bids need to take this into account. I will not force my team to accept projects that they are not comfortable taking. The Middle East has some friction for businesses but I imagine this will only add to the discussions.
As a current resident of Las Vegas, it is interesting to see articles like this written. We recycle 94% of the water that makes it to a drain[1]. In addition, recycled water accounts for 40% of our overall water usage[2].
However, I just broke a 3 year lease after 2 years because of both an in ground pool and very green lawn. Both contributing to a $300+/month water bill 5 months a year. The landlord could not get the HOA to approve landscape changes and the pool evaporated a thousand gallons a month. It is great there are laws for new houses, but there is still a challenge to change for homes built 20 years ago. Add in the electric bill for non-stop air conditioning in the summer months ...
No income tax in Nevada only goes so far. It will be interesting to see how much longer we can sustain our growing 2 million person population[3].
Having gone to UMD for computer science I can say that the DNS servers are not on the main campus. And certainly a completely separate group of people managing them than basic infrastructure of the Registrar. That said, collaboration would probably be a good thing if it does not already happen. But who's to say any system is infallible?
At the bottom of their new user signup page is a link to an "opt out" section. If believed, they allow you to install an online cookie and mail them forms to stop Acxiom from tracking you online and selling your data.
Works on mobile devices which is perfect when on the go. Give me a pause button so the timer doesn't go before I'm ready or make the clicking sound. Then I'll be at the site every day.
Sadly, technical roles as I yet to get an interview for a Product Management position. Companies seem to all require a certain number of years with that title and I have yet to find the right way of presenting myself. Maybe I should make a more concerted effort in that direction ... thank you!
Getting the interviews never seems to be the problem. The resume and cover letter HR screening process is pretty predictable. But not having "5 years experience in XYZ" is continually becoming a thorn in the side during in person conversations.
A mid-career generalist is like not having chosen what degree you're going to graduate college with in your second senior year
Well said. However, being a "very experienced dilettante" is exactly what I am hoping to capitalize on. When I left I was managing and mentoring people that were all older than me. Technology XYZ or tried-n-true architecture ABC is not always the best answer. I do not want to specialize because it forces me into a box.
Truly escaping and starting at run 0 sounds truly depressing. But then, so does the LMS world.
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right ABAB Start ... damn still no. Over 25 years of rescuing her from the jerks of the world. Getting tired of being in the friend zone.
Pinterest user's pin with the "promise" that they own the content. Well we know that's not happening. But what happens when PinPigeon prints images with copyrighted content from Coke, Budweiser, Apple, etc? Or, less identifiable but equally protected?
A succinct quote and something I had never really put thought into. Nicely said.
It’s not until you reach a near First-World level of development that pursuing your passions rather than escaping poverty seems like a reasonable and/or admirable thing to do.
Sites like Hulu and Netflix generate money from content that has already been created. The budget was found to create the initial content and publishing sites like these create residual income from targeted advertising. Great.
The content providers know the direction things are heading and probably know $20-30 a month for one channel from each subscriber is a tough pitch. So what's the ingenious model to offset the loss of big money cable television advertisements?
When you know the right pieces to the puzzle, amazing things can be created. Thanks for taking the time to show even more cool tools for future tinkering!
