When my subcontractor switched HR providers a few years ago, the new HR provider enrolled me into a targeted marketing campaign. The frequency of these product pitches went from quarterly to monthly to weekly. Always a different vendor. The first one was HR posters for California from a HR poster company. Foreign interns for hiring was a recurring theme. The last vendor was takeout food in San Francisco (they don't deliver to Palo Alto). No matter how often I've complained about this to my subcontractor and the HR provider, I'm still being targeted for this spam.
A story about a guy with autism and 265 comments without my name being mentioned. Either my trolls are getting lazy or they're finally leaving me alone. Only time will tell.
Sure you can. I've lived in Silicon Valley all my life and currently make $55K per year in government IT. You just need a specialized skill set. Mine is cleaning up IT closets and shitposting on Slashdot.:p
Most Netflix is 3mbps, it would take about 310 people streaming to Max a 1gbit line assuming nothing else was going on.
When I worked at Cisco to test out the 801.11AC wireless rollout, the division boss came down to the lab to fire me because a usage report showed that I used 75% of the wireless bandwidth for YouTube. His timing was perfect. When he walked into the lab and saw 30+ laptops with 11AC cards playing the Cisco channel, his video interview at a Cisco event was playing and he marveled at seeing his face on so many screens. As for the remaining 25% of the bandwidth, 300+ users were never impacted since the wireless server actively manage bandwidth usage and YouTube video was low priority.
Is this an example of your highly valued contributions to Slashdot?
As someone else pointed out, my one liners are troll bait. You already know that, troll.
I'd bet the real reason you go out on Black Friday is checking for leftover meals at the food court.
If I eat out on Black Friday, it will be at Panda Express for orange chicken, steam rice and chicken egg roll. That's enough food to keep me going all day.
And maybe root through the garbage for lottery tickets.
Why would I do that when many people just toss their non-winning — and sometimes winning — scratchers on the ground?
I prefer a laptop keyboard without a separate numeric keypad to avoid having the keyboard off center with the screen. I have big hands. I'm not going to have my right hand bumping into my left hand because some idiot thought a numeric keypad would be useful on a laptop.
If you were a tech consultant, you would front load half of your labor costs into the equipment price ($1,500 for hardware and $1,500 for labor) and charge the other half of labor ($1,500) after installation. If the client decides to screw you over after paying $3,000 for the equipment but before you started the work, they get to keep the equipment and you get to keep the extra money.
That would suggest 25 hours of work to earn that...if you take only 25 hours to make 25 videos (50 videos / 2 years), plus the time from promotion and learning how growth hacks work and so forth, those must be some seriously shitty videos, like straight from the camera to your channel with no editing.
All my videos were edited with title/end sequences, jump cuts, still shots and/or animations. None of my videos are straight from camera to channel. Maybe someday I'll get on my virtual soapbox to pull off a Dr. Gene Scott by bullshiting endlessly about God, UFOs and Slashdot trolls.
You still have to set up the channel and upload the video.
Done that three years ago...
Plus there is the hidden cost of the day something unforseen goes wrong like the Youtube AI flags you or your account is stolen.
My videos are family- and advertiser-friendly. Since I create my own content. I don't have to worry about being flagged. I got two-factor authentication for my Google accounts.
blah blah revenue streams blah blah
Does it make you feel good to talk about something that you have no clue about?
Why don't you focus on getting a good job?
I've already got a good job that pays the bill.
I'm speaking to a man who wanders around collecting used lotto tickets to see if he can win a 2nd chance drawing even though it's gotten him nothing.
I haven't won any second chance drawings in the last nine years. I have won $1, $5 and $20 prizes because an unused scratcher gets stuck to another scratcher or a poker scratcher that someone didn't realize was a winner because they're not a poker player. With the lotto app on my iPhone, I scan five tickets in less than a minute.
Youâ(TM)re bragging about $32/year to a hostile audience?
Nope. I'm bragging about a "shit" project that is teaching me how to make videos, build an audience through growth hacks, and still made money despite being an exceedingly small niche channel.
You surely put in quite a few hours into this, Iâ(TM)ll guess you make like 25-50 cents per hour of work.
More like $1.25 per video.
Thatâ(TM)s 3rd world wages.
A good thing that this "shit" project that takes up a minimal amount of my time.
Full of shit projects and excuses always start with "tomorrow".
One of my "shit" projects is a three-year-old YouTube channel with a niche focus that has 50+ videos, 200+ subscribers, 17,000+ views, 34,000+ watched minutes, and makes $32 per year in ad revenues. The first 2.5 years was focused on learning how to make videos. The last six months was on growth hacks to get more views from search (60%) and recommendations (30%) than subscribers (10%). I have another two years on this channel before I publish my 100th video. After I hit that milestone, I'll focus on growing my author channel with weekly videos.
Loser.
A loser is someone who quits. I'm just getting started.

I'm not planning to review the book at this time. I haven't finished reading it yet. Like most dead tree books, it's gathering dust underneath my bed. I'll be doing project videos in 2018. I got too much on my plate with existing projects and clients to be vlogging on a regular basis.

Here's yesterday story that should have been linked to today's story. I expect the ass kissing in Washington to result in quick approvals for any merger. Layoffs will be announced later.

I had 12 roommates in a five-bedroom Victorian when I was in college during the early 1990's. Rent was $200 per month per person.

Plonker!
The only reason I go out on Black Friday is to watch the shopping riots as entertainment and count the abandoned HDTV boxes in the parking lot.
The only thing Firefox is good for is being launched by Selenium to test Django web apps.
Can you trust an app outside of a walled garden?
That’s because the San Andreas is horizontal, not vertical.

Super volcanoes are like great earthquakes. After 30+ years of warnings, I'm still waiting for California to slide into the Pacific Ocean.

I'd recommend you read the statements of work your tech consultants are providing you before you actually pay them.
When they complain about the cost, you can offer them a discount and lower the bill by a few hundred dollars.
