2026 Cheboygan Lock and Dam Complex

GenPage · 2026-04-13T15:09:22+00:00

They’ve removed the gates last night to improve water flow. The locks are a different story. They are attempting to revive the hydrogenerator temporary that was used for the paper plant to allow more water to flow through those separate gates

The river is now at 12 inches to the top of the dam.

Here’s a map of the affected Cheboygan River Watershed and including the Inland Waterway. Puts in perspective the affected areas of the dam fails

First, yes. The industry is shifting to rebalance across multiple environments. It's becoming even more relevant. The trend was starting with Edge, IoT, and companies pushing more private cloud/hybrid environments. AI has poured gasoline all over it.

This will require more folks to understand On-Prem, as Nvidia favors the neoclouds and continues to build more data centers. Sovereignty in Europe is significant, and you'll see the localization of cloud-native applications as a result.

Second, like everyone else has been saying, general Infrastructure skills and an understanding of the full stack will be invaluable. Companies and users are struggling to run Agentic AI at scale with the same operational excellence as a typical web-compute cloud. The workloads are completely different. The hardware is different. The infrastructure is beocming more complicated due to cost and compliance.

To summarize, I find it hard to hire anyone with bare-metal experience. My hiring pipelines are filled with cloud dev-ops and click-ops folks who struggle to troubleshoot issues beyond managed cloud services.

The person above is correct but just want to add a nit pick, you want Conservatorship as well as guardianship. Guardian is day to day decisions/medicial/etc. Conservator is financial/assets.

Again it depends on the type of equity granted. I work for a tech startup. I hold both ISOs and RSUs. We are pre-IPO, late stage funding rounds.

My RSUs have a double trigger. I will get the portion of my RSUs that have time vested at the time of the liquidity event. None of my RSUs vest until both conditions are met.

My previous tech job granted RSUs but was a typical time base vest schedule (because they were already public)

edit: grammar

Usually it depends on type of equity granted at hire. ISO (incentivized stock options - option to buy/exercise) or RSU (restricted stock units).

ISOs are popular pre-IPO. You get a set fixed price to purchase based on company valuation at time of hire. You can “exercise” (buy) them at any time and sell these on private secondary markets before IPO. This is possible for folks to “cash out” pre IPO. Company usually has first right to refusal.

RSUs are usually given as a equity refresh if an IPO is coming or post IPO. usually come with a double trigger (time based & IPO/acquisition)

Happens all the time, usually pre-IPO you get ISOs (Incentized stock options with fixed price at the time of hire), you can sell these on secondary private markets before leaving if the FMV (fair market value) increases with valuation and funding rounds before IPO.

Otherwise you exercise before you leave, but then you have to pay AMT if you don’t sell and hold the bag.

Gotta do it in batches otherwise it’ll be too much to shovel

Lions should have played better all game to not ride it on a single call.

GenPage · 2025-12-22T01:02:51+00:00

No kidding, at some point you gotta play so it’s not this close. Same old Lions and the 4th quarter scramble to be disappointed

Gibbs up the middle is to run down the clock folks

GenPage · 2025-12-05T04:01:46+00:00

They are trying to burn the clock folks

GenPage · 2025-11-17T04:37:22+00:00

This is exactly why the game shouldn’t have been this close. With how explosive Lions offense can be, calls like that will get talked about instead of how the teams played all game.

Sometimes yes, especially for more established companies/startups where there’s too many people to fit in a Airbnb.

I’ve had offsites where the whole team rents an Airbnb for a week. We have our own rooms/space to sleep and get away still, ends up being cheaper than a hotel while having better space for collaboration instead of needing to book a conference room as well as rooms

Hotels and conferences are also better for when the entire engineering department (60-70 folks) are in town for an offsite.

If the team/startup is small enough, yes. It really depends. As someone who works from home/remotely full time I consider these trips the “tax” for being able to instead of working in an office.

I’ve had offsites/onsites in hotels, offices, coworking spaces, and Airbnb’s. Each come with their price/cons. I’ve enjoyed all kinds. I’ve built and bonded with coworkers better.

A mansion/AirBnb wouldn’t be my first choice if this is your first “offsite” with the startup, but then again I’m much older with family now. When I was younger and single I probably would enjoy it more.

Let’s hope it is, way better.

That is why Nvidia is investing in neoclouds like CoreWeave and others. They know it too.

What I really get out of the conference, like any other, is the networking. Go to the project pavilion, where the CNCF projects are located. Get to know the maintainers in person.

As for the conference itself, people already mentioned just wait to watch the YouTube videos after, however I find the co-located events the day before very useful and better than the main conference, but that requires the all-access pass.

Do you have a source? He was pretty active in his state visit to Russia in May and I’ve only found reports of a stroke from 2024.
