my guess is that you arent going to sleep at dusk. I have to force myself to stay up until after 10pm to make sure that I dont wake after just a few hours. My natural schedule is to wake around 1 if I go to sleep near 9, and then stay awake several hours, sleeping from 4-5 am until around 8. This does not work with a wife/kids/job etc, so I no longer follow this. It used to drive people crazy that I could get so much done while they were asleep.
I have seen this version fail. Two PMs sat in a room, and when presented with the resource limitation, by the resource they were both tasking at greater than full time, they agreed that they were both priority 1. One of them would be 1a and the other would be 1b. The resource quit on the spot.
I have done this before too. I had fun with it. I told the PMs that I would be working on the project of whichever PM was in the room looking over my shoulder. They literally had to stake out their turf if they wanted my time. This did two things... 1 if the issue was really important, they dropped their tasks also. 2) If another PM thought I should be on their tasks, they had to talk to whoever was in the room watching me. If no one was there, then I changed gears to the new request, and let my manager know that the constant shifting was slowing me down and preventing any real momentum.
Once the PMs werent able to blame me, management sorted things out and stopped giving me multiple top priorities, and most importantly, the PMs all realized that they had been sold a lie.

the paper filter is interesting. I have cholesterol issues, and limit coffee to 2 cups a day, and quality local ground beans. I use a metal filter in a drip machine however. Is there really improvement to be had from paper filters?
exactly. I never got an injury to a muscle playing competitive sports for many years, and I didnt take place in static stretching. I would jog slowly to warm up, use some stretching throughout the warmup jogs, and that was it. I currently run quite a bit, and again, i never stretch. I start at a comfortable pace ( on a treadmill it is currently 7 mph) , and then as things loosen up and feel comfortable I can pick up the pace. I was always warned that my hamstrings were too tight, and those needed stretching or I would be injured. The worst I ever had for muscle pains has been shin splints. stretching is a con.
i worked on airline reservations, and the ticket purchase page went through typical web and app tiers, then to a translation service so the information could be sent through MQ and then processed on the mainframe. There was simply no way to keep up with the volume of data for all of the airline seats with the transaction rates and flexibility that the mainframe provided. Everything was being pulled out to the open systems and vmware bits, but the heart of the entire operation required the mainframe.
yup. Books in the home is another interesting metric. If the parents live by an example of valuing knowledge and information then that may actually be picked up on by the kids.
Mythbusters did it to a car, and increased gas mileage. This was just using clay. If someone used decent materials, there is likely a huge gain to be had in performance. Of course, the surfaces on a plane NEED to interact with the air, so too much disturbance may not be a good thing.
yes. So while your statement stands that this isnt a MitM, there is a big of information gathering that isnt straightforward. They are more like a voyeur with a spyglass that can see though your walls, even if you think the curtains are drawn.
I saw an update to facebook today that showed a pair of articles that a friend and I both read. I think the only reason it was in my feed was that my friend was also included. I was not logged in to facebook at the time, and followed a link from an independent site. Why did this information get broadcast to everyone I know ? I now have to go find the app that provided facebook the ability to do that, and eliminate it from my profile. There was no indication at the time I was reading that this was going to have anything to do with any social network. There are several parties here that could be considered a MitM, but either way, it is wrong. Thankfully, my panties dont get bunched and I can live without the services that these social sites bring, so I just remove permissions, take care moving forward, and go on. These things arent a big surprise, just annoying.
Thankfully this was just a newspaper article, and nothing that I wouldnt want my family to know I was reading about.
ok, agreed then. And to get back to the original topic, apparently how many people agree is not a useful metric for validity of a though to the current administration .
what if I were to agree with the sentiment of the quote? Am I not allowed to agree if something is presented as stated from an authority? Dismissing someone's statement because he is quoting someone else makes no sense at all. How about we listen to what was said, and decide if we agree / disagree, not just bring out debate 101 facts to pretend to destroy an argument without actually addressing it?
I do agree with the idea, that any government allowed to stagnate long enough will invent ways in which to enrich an inner circle. There is a lot of insight into policy that went into the thoughts of Jefferson, and how a government needs to be controlled over time. There is also a good perspective that many things that are considered bad taste were tolerated for a greater good; they actually compromised.
the amount of corruption here is status quo, and one of the reasons for anger is that a promise to respond to certain levels of interest had been made. The prediction was that this would get blown off, as has been done. The promise being broken is more status quo on election politics. The big question is how much more of this status quo can be tolerated by the masses.
The issue isnt being able to mitigate, the issue is that if the CC companies convince everyone that this isnt possible, then they have an easy path to never having to pay out against fraud. They can just refuse to believe this exists, and tell anyone who had their card info stolen that the cause was their behavior, and then never have to honor a dime of repayment. This is enough to let everyone know that theft can occur this way, and liability remains with the CC companies.
When they bought cingular and started turning down service to the old companies phones ( mid-contract) , the only fix offered was a new phone and contract that would work with the ATT infrastructure. This is why I am not with ATT ever again.
It looks as if this is a sales pitch warning businesses against relations with businesses that have data/compute/storage capabilities that have a presence in the US. Those businesses can be compelled to turn over information to US authorities. Genius sales pitch actually. I worked within AT&T for a while, and the sheer number of subpoenas served daily to a company that size is outrageous. They cant fight every one. Now, if you choose to allow AT&T to hold you data ( or EC2 , or sungard , or google) , then those companies may be forced to turn over information. If you want to comply with your local privacy laws that actually take human dignity into account, then you will need to take careful consideration of where you purchase and locate any cloud based IT initiative.
The conversation was leaning too far towards " The US uses the patriot act to force other governments to have no secrecy". This is not the case. The US uses the patriot act as an excuse to gather any information that it can, and companies on US soil, or companies that share data with companies on US soil may have a hard time defending data from this nonsense.
TFA mentions that cloud sharing is a bit nebulous, and care is needed. It isnt certain at what point US based services (gmail) may allow this reach to occur. Think of the ad data shared from facebook or youtube, and then if your country actually enforces strict privacy then you may have a hard time protecting your data if you are selling ads using preferences gathered through these tools.
It looks like the issue is foreign businesses, not foreign governments. If the businesses fought tooth and nail and could convince their government to take a stand, then there is likely going to be some pushback. Now, getting the businesses government to care will take quite some time, and likely some egregious action by the US, or things will just get pushed under the rug. The businesses that refuse will suffer by not being allowed into the US market.
you are right, but the solution to your proposal goes too far. Too avoid all collisions should we get rid of all cars, then all mechanical transportation, then maybe even all people? That will surely prevent accidents.
I dont like the armor increasing war, but to say that in a wreck between a dump truck and a kia, that there is no advantage to size, is naive at best. Behaviors need to change, but within reason.
Agreed. This is a short sighted view, where the only concern is personal. The odds of a crash are damn near 100% it seems... new drivers wreck cars, and kids are stupid . So the mitigation is to survive this eventuality. The car contributing to the accident is just one more factor, and the parents are protecting not by parenting, but by armor. I dont think that avoiding wrecks has anything to do with the choice... having the most momentum is the deciding factor.
size / weight is absolutely an issue. I have spoken to many parents who want to buy their 16 year old as big of a car as possible, because they know that 16 year olds are idiots and will wreck the car. Visibility doesnt matter, and responsibility isnt programmed into the kids yet. The parents are concerned for only one thing, the safety of THEIR kid. The mass of the vehicle gives safety, and their are studies to show that reducing weight simply to improve mileage actually increases death rates.
I am not defending this, and it actually makes me sick, but it is impossible to dismiss the advantage of size in a collision.
I also thought this was happening already. several months ago I stopped being able to access different google services in different browser tabs using different accounts. It is a functional pain in the ass from how i was used to doing things, and has caused me to use less of their services. When this started happening, I was fairly confident that it was because of a wish to link my different activities together. It may have just taken this long to publish the consolidated policy and its impact and use, but is in no way shocking. I am more surprised, as you said, that is hasnt been happening for a while.

this will at least guarantee that less than 10% of projects will be marked as high priority. mission accomplished!

I think it is because dogs dont smoke or drink alcohol.
