Elon Musk is swimming in the waters of international politics. Big "no no" with this administration currently in office. He's about to get bitch slapped down and possibly lose it all. With Obama, he can be vindictive!
I would say the most dicy of them all is HDD (generally SAS) firmware updates. A car analogy with else specific firmware updates is like changing the automatic transmission oil. If you update (change) HDD firmware as they become available, you prolong the life of what would otherwise be premature failing hardware. Otherwise if you never did any maintenance towards the end of their life, and then pushed an update through, you may find that the drive failed shortly after. Again, this *only* applies to HDD firmware updates.
Where I live, Katy to I-10 toll fees change based on the hour of the day. Specifically right before, during, and after rush hour. I'm sure this is true in other parts of the country as well. Just as an example.
Right now, I have a 12 month contract paying 10.8 cents per kw. It's *not* based on time of day. There are incentives to time-shift (delay or advance) AC usage during peaks times however. But I will tell you right now that this technology will force the industry to start charging users based on peak usage rather then provide incentives It will take time to start replacing thermostats, but it will happen with or without given the now in place smart-meters. Perhaps this is the fair thing to do. Real-time market based activity and all. But just so you know, this is coming.
If your company refuses to give you what you need to do your job without being able to do these things, your company is sailing straight towards a major disaster with or without you.
Which is the majority of SMB companies out there. They also make up the majority of the work force.
Must be nice to work for a fortune 500 company to have the resources available...
It's why you should always have your resume' up to date and another potential job in your pocket. Easier said then done, I know. Sysadmin positions are always inherently sacrificial lambs for when shit hits the fan. Deal with it, or find another industry to work in. Just some friendly sage advice to offer you.
And this is why I wait at least 2 months before installing firmware updates (unless it's a major security issue). It's not uncommon for a firmware update to be pulled shortly after being published. The 2 month window delay is generally more then enough time to ensure it's a proper update is solid.
Yes, there's profit in scarcity. CGN/CGNAT also has a nice effect in breaking P2P which frees up the bandwidth they've been long seeking anyways. For them, IPv4 is a win-win-win all around.
With regards to IPv6, I expect mobile phones to adopt it this standard more rapidly than your standard PC/Server market for home and business use. With the exception of IPv6 facing web servers of course.
However I will say if I was given preferential treatment for anything to my knowledge because of my color and not my qualifications I would be pissed off to the point of declining that treatment.
And here's where culture comes into play. There are many African American's that feel they are "owed" something whereas someone from Kenya wouldn't have this mindset.
You just described a method of troubleshooting called "Divide and Conquer". It should be a job requirement to work in IT! If people can't understand that basic logic, they're useless. As in, less of a use!
Bullshit. You're supposed to have the ability to stop time with thought alone. How else is HR going to get 48 hours a *day* out of you? You people are a bunch of Cheetos smacking Mountain Dew guzzling slobs. Now stare at the screen until your eye bleed!!!
If interest rates go up, the price of homes could drop if not just level off. That's because people purchase a home based on what they can afford each month. Combine that with new laws now in place from the previous housing crash. Effectively, the banks are now making a profit rather then the home owner.
However all that said, Texas home prices aren't going anywhere but UP. Houston, Katy, Austin..etc. Exxon is the 2nd largest US company behind Google and is moving its HQ to the Woodlands which will employ 10,000 employees at the campus. Our governor has been poaching businesses from other states. People from said states are driving in droves to Texas. It's nuts! The traffic is getting worse and worse each year. Regardless, now the Chinese are investing in Texas real-estate which can only lead to a nasty bubble.
Nothing is ever free when it comes from the government. It all costs money and it all gets paid for by the citizens of that country; whether your realize it or not.
Well YES! That's the Democrat (the politicians, not the voters) Party for you. Rules for them, and rules for everyone else. They actually believe in a caste based system. The idea being that if you accept your position in life, you'd be less inclined to fight for a higher standard of living. It makes management of a serfdom much easier along with the ease of accumulation of power.
Ok, (1) what web portal? (2) when your email client is giving you a generic "something broke" message, how do you know to validate the password?
Occam's razor. It should be applied when troubleshooting.
E-mail passwords often expire on custom hosted servers. E-mail passwords for accounts hosted by your ISP, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com..etc, don't. Company hosted mail, yes, quite common for that to happen. Especially true of your using a company Exchange server as the credentials are tied back to Active Directory.
The only time I've ever broke down a TCP/IP dump file was when troubleshooting PPTP VPN connectivity over a Verizon air card seven years ago (SSL VPN; use it yeah yeah, I know..) The problem was that some segments of their network were configured differently depending on what cell tower you were communicating against. For whatever reason, Verizon had a problem in that it was breaking the GRE protocol. Eventually, we isolated which which of the three cell towers were causing the problem out in the field (refinery complex for safety crewmen needing to log with a remote laptop).
H&R Block maybe more convenient, but YOU are still on the hook if they screw up somewhere. That's the law. With Turbo Tax and apps like it, you are still on the hook, but at least you have chance to go over it with a fine toothed comb before hitting the submit button. And BTW, Turbo Tax will catch any mistakes or discrepancies for you and alert you to the fact. It won't however catch any extra source of income or life changing events that you haven't already entered in.
TurboTax. You get to keep a history and I've had to call their line for consultation once. I was pleased with how it all went. Their online FAQ forum was pretty useful in fact.
To each his own, but if your tax situation is really complicated, perhaps you're living a life beyond your pay grade? Or perhaps we should go with a fair tax system. It's way too bloated and complex as it is. If I was forced to do this on my own with nothing but paper and instructions from provided PDFs via IRS website, no doubt it would have been an epic failure for me.
Wouldn't you have validated their password from the web portal side of things in the first place. That's sort of like trying to figure out how a lock works when you should have just turned the knob in the first place.
Some of you guys way over analyze shit by making mountains out of mole hills. 9 times out of 10, it's fucking user error!!!

I agree with you. But...

So where's the precursor technology?
Heh. Well, you can take man from nature, but you can't take the nature out of man.
If you can pay extra for DLC and subscriptions, you can pay extra a month for that dynamic private IP. So that will be the way they see it.
Also less damage due to the hilly terrain surrounding Nagasaki.

Or maybe some future version of the iPhone's case and screen will be made entirely of sapphire glass??

That's going to take awhile.
Don't be silly. They're not the source of every problem, just the vast majority of them.
