I'd suggest asking to schedule a regular one on one meeting with your supervisor, once or twice a month. Bring a list of items and ask directly for feedback. Make sure you set ground rules that you agree to LISTEN and accept the feedback, even if you disagree with it. Perception is reality, understand their IMPRESSION cannot be wrong, but that you may be able to change their view with facts. Stop waiting for your supervisor to do something and be proactive.
There's some really interesting (non-Star Wars) stuff out now (Eve: Valkyrie, House of the Dying Sun) that are even available on VR. And if you haven't tried VR yet, I'd strongly encourage you to check it out. It is an absolutely incredible experience, one of those things you just cannot describe to someone they have to try it themselves.
They make a single high end desktop which will only ever sell in very low volumes, which isn't reflected in year old sales numbers. And now we're comparing how many years of iPad sales? This is so far beyond a tortured comparison I can't even take you seriously.
I can't believe I'm even arguing this side, I own a Macbook Air and carry an iPhone SE. But you're just completely off the deep end.
I'd just install Fedora (or your favorite Linux OS) via VirtualBox on your Windows 7 PC. Much better experience than putty or even OpenSSH on Cygwin, imo if you're just ssh'ing into things. Or short of that just bring in a thumb drive with a copy of your favorite live distro.
SpaceX expects its own latencies to be between 25 and 35ms, similar to the latencies measured for wired Internet services. Current satellite ISPs have latencies of 600ms or more, according to FCC measurements.
I recommend Tiny Tiny RSS if you're willing to run something yourself. Works great, simple requirements (I think I'm actually using sqlite for it) and even supports Google Reader shortcut keys. There's a great iOS app as well as Android options.
If you don't have your own webserver somewhere or don't want to manage it, I totally get it, Feedly is great, too. Just wanted to offer up another option.
Typically appeals to a younger crowd. I live downtown in a relatively large city. It's very quiet, brand new building on the river. And it puts me two miles from work. It's very convenient to get to anything, we walked back from a sporting event yesterday evening in about 15 minutes. It also means we are five minutes from dozens and dozens of incredible restaurants and event centers (sports arena, stadium, performing arts center, etc, etc, etc). Literally walking distance (or a $5 uber). It's a trade off. If I had a children it wouldn't make any sense. We have a huge shared space in our apartment and there's always someone out there grilling by the pool or having some event. It's a younger crowd (20s and 30s) and everyone is great. The idea that you can't have an outdoor space and sense of community in a city just isn't accurate in my experience.
Prior to this I lived in the suburbs and it was nice and quiet but it was 30+ minutes driving+parking+walking to get to anything. Plus paying to park. Then worrying about who was going to drink? No thanks.
I don't think Microsoft really wants to be in the hardware business. I think their goal was to drive the partners into developing high end devices that could compete with Apple products. I think Microsoft would love to be out of the hardware business completely. I'm not willing to dig through the financials but I'd be willing to guess that hardware sales aren't nearly the high margins they're used to in their software and services business.
Because you're comparing all Mac sales against a single type of product ("ultraportable" Surface). The Mac line-up consists of quite a few product lines including desktop (iMac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini) and notebook/laptop devices (Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro) that target many different types of consumers.
I understand the obsession people Americans with cars
You clearly don't understand the issue at all. So many questions. Why do you think it's not more efficient to have transit occurring on two entirely separate planes? Why do you not understand the size of the US? Why do you not understand the history of transportation in the US? You really just need to educate yourself on the issue.
What webserver are you running on your phone? Were you aware?
Minimizing this like it's a non-issue is insane. The fact that apps can open random ports, which may then will inevitably be susceptible to remote attacks, is horrifying. You think IoT devices were bad, wait until the few hundred million phones with dozens or hundreds of apps installed get turned into botnets.
I'm all for asking questions like, "what apps?" Did you install an FTP server? Well obviously it opens a port. But isn't anyone concerned that these apps have the ability to open ports? How is this monitored, controlled and approved from Android devices?
I believe we'll see a version that, at least buy default, will only allow signed apps from the Windows store. This would also presumably help them drive additional revenue to offset the low cost devices with smaller margins.
This is a model that's brought up frequently, and my personal favorite. Like a lot of things, bringing the power to a local municipality to make these decisions is critical. It also ties someone's re-election to the quality of my Netflix video, which is fantastic culpability at a very direct and local level.
I have the same inherent concern, but I start from the premise that the internet as as important as roads or power. Second of all, these telcoms have a natural monopoly by being assigned the MSO (which there is massive collusion between cable providers to allow, its basically like a mafia boss meeting) and the LEC laws. So best case you have a government granted duopoly. Third, we've seen successful deregulation to breakup these monopolies in the past all over the world.
The model that interests me is allowing the municipality to own the local infrastructure and then internet providers pay for access to the last mile.
I am absolutely a free-market capitalist, but the problem is we've already strangled broadband with regulation. We have to rethink the model, it's not working nearly as well as it should be.
Note: Workers refers to wage and salary workers. The self-employed are not included.
How much of the "gig-economy", the exact thing that we all believe causes shorter "tenure", is being excluded entirely? Certainly at least a couple percentage points, right?

People lower on the ladder make less money. Less money means more stress.

I'd love to see the stats from Slashdot on RSS usage since it's been available. Are you seeing a drop off?
Check out tt-rss. It even looks like Google Reader and ships with a plugin to support Google Reader shortcut keys!

Do you have a source that says AT&T specifically agreed to service these neighborhoods with gigabit fiber? If so I'd be interested in seeing it.
maybe u are too dumb
Maybe one of us is.

You mean other than following the hundreds of byzantine laws on the manufacture and sale of guns?
How do so many people not understand the concept of intent.
I'd be willing to bet more shoes are used in crimes than weapons :)
