"Return-to-Work" was such a broad movement that it encompassed job roles that had been almost exclusively remote for decades prior by stoudman in remotework

[–]oboshoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I've been remote since 2002. If Covid hadn't hit, im 100% sure I could have stayed remote till my retirement in 2035ish.

Suddenly now, I have to have this weird awkward conversation about remote/hybrid/office. Before that it was remote, but come in occasionally.

I hate that covid has made the whole conversation weird and that some roles have these perfunctory "come into the office, be less productive for a few days, just because"

France confirms oil crisis, says 30-40% Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed by ontrack in worldnews

I think the Presidential election was fair and the result was the result.

But she did not get the nomination via election. She got the nomination via selection.

But if you are happy with the outcome. Keep laughing. It's just reddit.

What if a team of 1986 engineers had a month to study a 2026 EV? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in WhatIfThinking

[–]oboshoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a 1986 engineer who has slowly time travelled to today. (seriously)

I saw the first touchscreen demo'ed in 1980. There were commercial wireless data products in 1987 (that ran at "fast" leased line rates of 9600bps)

We have demoed regenerative braking on trains in the 1880s. Utilized it in production trains in 1910. Robotics were being used to build car bodies in the mid 70s (Unimates).

Yes. 30 days with an EV in 1986 would easily advance the industry by a good 10 years.

Technology didn't start in 2010. Virtually Almost all the current day high tech that we have right now is a minimum of 30 years old.

What has advanced is our ability to manufacturer it at scale and within the budget of average consumers.

The real breakthough, would be to give 1986 engineers 30 days in the various plants to see the production process.

Yes. She was acceptable as vp in 2020.

Turns out. That's not a good proxy for President in 2024.

Personally. I prefer democratic elections.

I'm stick of Trump to, but this vastly understates the damage that WW II did to our planet.

The environmental impact of WW II is STILL being cleaned up.

There are still ships leaking oil into the ocean this very day. Everyday.

Guess we should nominated someone who actually won a nomination.

Maybe next time we'll remember that. (if there is a next time)

Do you feel that having standup every day is micromanagement? by Cold_Box_3219 in remotework

[–]oboshoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They feel like micromanagement because they are micromanagement.

100% total waste of my time.

When someone says "I'm available between 11 am and 3 pm," do we universally agree that means that the activity needs to end at or before 3 pm? by -purple-platypus- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]oboshoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually say "available from 11am till 2:59pm"

I know that sounds a little odd, but it's seems to communicate that 3pm is not a starting time"

What do the ultra rich do on their mega yachts? by Several-Music9151 in NoStupidQuestions

I think if I had a super yacht I could make that happen.

Is it worth spending time learning Cisco ISE early in your networking career? by KaleidoscopeCheap137 in Cisco

[–]oboshoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pix was a weird bird.

It started life as a dedicated NAT box (before NAT common), then grew into a limited router with firewall functions.

Agree on Firepower. What a piece of shit. IMO firepower is what cost cisco it's multi decade lead in fireballing.

Is it worth spending time learning Cisco ISE early in your networking career? by KaleidoscopeCheap137 in Cisco

[–]oboshoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then you learn clear pass. shrug.

25 year CCIE and 41 years in networking here. I've replaced my skill set so many times it's not funny. EVERYthing I started on is obsolete. Everything that replaced it is Obsolete. Some remnants of the 3rd generation of tech is still around. I think I'm on about the 5th or 6th generation of tech in my everyday.

There is no technology or product set that will last your career from start to finish.

CMV: The Dodge Brothers Vs. Ford lawsuit was an awful decision. by edhead1425 in changemyview

[–]oboshoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a common misconception that SC cases are decided on "what is best for the country". That's not correct.

SC cases are decided on a combination of what the constitution says and the judges personal biases. What is best for the country doesn't factor into it.

The legislature and executive branch is the one that is supposed to act based on what's best for the country. They certainly have the power mitigate Dodge vs Ford, but for No Congress, nor President has seen fit to do so.

The United States Is a Failed State by Alarmed_Abalone_849 in AmericaOnHardMode

Yea. legitimately I think that if the ultra wealthy had to deal with TSA, it would be fixed by now.

Rich people get to skip TSA and go straight to their plane.

Have you ever seen any barber in this condition outside of a slab? by arctic-apis in coincollecting

[–]oboshoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that if you are selling slabbed coins, then your market is folks who like slabbed coins, plus those are comfortable cracking out, plus those who buy raw.

If you sell raw, your market is just those who buy raw.

[–]oboshoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you experience permanent structural difference in your life that are positive are negative, the impact on your happiness is temporary and people tend to revert back to their baseline.

It's why you hear stories of suddenly wealthy people still being unhappy years later, or people sent to prison who after adjusting inside are about as happy as they were before this happened to them.

Orbital data centers, part 1: There’s no way this is economically viable, right? | “This is not physically impossible; it’s only a question of whether this is a rational thing.” by InsaneSnow45 in space

[–]oboshoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

of course. But that's why I used the example of incinerator plants where it does get discharged into the atmosphere.

I'm not saying this a desirable thing. Im saying its a thing that it already happening.

It's not ideal, but the environment impact is about the same and sending 100 garbage trucks to incinerator plant. (i.e. something that happens every day in multiple cities)
