I want a pinhole camera in my monitor so I can make eye contact with the other side when I'm looking at them. That's the biggest lacking feature to me on pc video conferencing.
Having worked with Intel fab from inside Intel design and with TSMC at a different company, Intel fab would do very well to standardize and work on supporting their customers. If they decoupled and provided better processes, it would greatly improve the experience for those working with the fab. As it is right now, the Intel fab has always been the tail that wags the dog. They've carried Intel off and on for so many years that if design wants something and the fab pushes back, well design gets to pound sand and find some workaround to the fab's processes.
I thinks it's possible with the access we both have to the other country's media via Netflix, prime, Hulu, et c., that our accents re-merge. When I was a kid, British accents were a little harder and Scottish accents were impossible, but after 15 years of Netflix, I don't even notice British accents anymore and Scottish accents are noticeable, but understandable.
Me too! Was astounded by the price of a standard solution and said to myself, "I can do that cheaper [ assuming my time is worth less than minimum wage.]" Still works, 7 years after install.
So much whining about the insecurity. If someone offers you triple your current salary, but more insecure, take the job and live on 33% of the new job wages while paying down debt and saving/investing the rest. You can find an equivent crappy job again in the future, but you may also conquer a new job market for yourself.
Only if they can all simultaneously execute the cooperation strategy of the Prisoner's Dilema. Meanwhe every corporation that defects gets to pick from the pool of remote workers with _reduced_ competition from the corporations choosing the "cooperate" strategy.
Stackoverflow is like online gaming . Just mute/ignore the morons and jerks, and get on with you life. I've received a ton of hate on SO, but I've also received so many answers to questions that would have taken me at least a day to figure out on my own. Some angry dweeb launches a tirade at me, and some kind soul gives me an answer. Ignore the dweeb, go to lunch, ship the feature.
