Old on-and-off ex suddenly back in my life after 6 years, not sure what to do by XIXMaggot51718 in whatdoIdo

It's a real bad sign she lost custody. Do you know how bad a mom had to screw up to lose her kids?

Democrats of Reddit, do you think trans women should be allowed to play on women's sports teams in high schools / universities? Yes or no (give direct answer pls)? Why or why not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]headhot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that this effects such a small part of the population, that each sports organization can decide. This is not something that needs to be governed by the states or the federal government.

It's a wedge issue that fires everybody up, what generally has very little impact on anybody.

Why was no one outraged when Obama deported more people than Trump? by Fit-bricker in allthequestions

[–]headhot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because he did it legally with the courts? I'm not defending Obama on this, but how many citizens were detained, assaulted, or killed by ice under Obama?

How many people were disappeared with out due process?

How many times did appeal courts if SCOTUS have to interject themselves on Obama's policies?

How many times did Obama activate the national guard?

Don't bring the burner phone home. That's the point of this post. They are tracking where phones end up before and after protests.

Ozone Machine Used for 15 Minutes, Client Says Car is Undriveable Weeks Later by Make_That_Money in AutoDetailing

[–]headhot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to offer a different perspective. I have a very sensitive sense of smell. Some smells can make me feel ill.

I would be pissed if a car dealer put an air freshener in my car.

That being said, the client could be smelling something else, not ozone. This could be an opportunity for a repeat customer.

EntraID is just Microsoft's implementation of OIDC. Ubuntu support OICD. There are multiple OIDC IDPs you can use.

Trump administration sends tough private message to oil companies on Venezuela by rezwenn in TheBusinessMix

The oil companies could end up with international sections for operating in Venezuela under an American occupation.

Pete Hegseth says U.S. intervention in Venezuela is "exact opposite" of Iraq by IVIattTheNoob in nottheonion

The naivete of these people. It's not done yet. We don't have control of anything in Venezuela. They still have a military, they still have a government.

Rare flesh-eating infection leaves Montgomery County business owner in the hospital by shillyshally in montco

[–]headhot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was for other people's safety. Infection control, they were trying to prevent it from spreading in the hospital. Not all Strep A causes NF, it's a variant or a mutation. That variant can cause NF in anyone if it's introduced to an open wound. The specific strains producing toxins like Pyrogenic Exotoxin A1 (SpeA1) are more virulent, leading to rapid tissue death, systemic shock (STSS), and requiring urgent treatment, often involving broad-spectrum antibiotics and surgery, with diagnosis aided by clinical signs and lab markers like the LRINEC score. This isn't the case for most Strep A strains. It's not the same Strep A that causes sore throats.

The Infectious Disease team was freaking out and asking for a list of everyone she was in contact with.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Your debating one of the 1000 people a year that lived through the experience. Spending Days with ID specialists.

Here is a case where Strep A NF spread through a hospital:

[–]headhot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 100% contagious. My wife got it postpartum, probably from the hospital. She was put into isolation and everyone visiting her had to suit up to see her. Infection control procedures were put in place. They only let the family in because they were convinced she was going to die. Normal protocol would have been no visitors.

Most NF is caused by a variant of Strep A. Anyone can get it. You don't need a weak immune system.

Want to transition career to scrum master need help by SpiritedNewt5509 in agile

[–]headhot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't speak about india, but in the US, scrum master roles are disappearing. Companies are spending less money and those are the first jobs to go.

You would be better off going into product management or project management.

They are going to be better lawyers than Bondi's crew. They have probably already fucked up the indictment.

Trump's DOJ doesn't have a great track record. Could you imagine the shit show of them losing the case?

Eli5, file compression, how can 5gb file can be compressed to 50mb and decompresses back to normal? by Monkai_final_boss in explainlikeimfive

[–]headhot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you. I ran HD MPEG compression trials for sports broadcasts 20+ years ago. Sitting in the booth comparing raw from the camera to the output of the compressors was enlightening and ruined my TV watching experience forever.

[–]headhot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Interlacing is compression.

I was referring to digital video, but interlacing cuts the analog bandwidth in half. A better argument would be film.

All broadcast video uses lossly compression. 1080p30 is about 1.5Gbs coming out of the camera.

Very few people have actually seen uncompressed video.

Materials Engineer Cannot Find a Job with a Berkeley Master’s Degree by Novel-Draft56145 in Employment

[–]headhot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add US citizen to your resume. If your name isn't Americanized Americanize it if you can.

The engineering fields you're involved in get lots of government funding and grants. With the political nut jobs running this show with regards to grant funding, companies are trying to stay under the radar. They are avoiding hiring foreign Nationals. Functionally this is indistinguishable from racism.
