Your point is meaningless when everyone's retirement account is invested in the stock market. What goes up must come down. As people found out in 2009, the value of retirement accounts can easily drop 50% in a stock market crash.
Incorrect - we've been HAVING the recession for years.
The recession ended in 2009. That's when I lost my job, was out of work for two years (2009-10), underemployed for six months (working 20 hours per month, and filing for Chapter Seven bankruptcy. Today I'm back to where I was financially ten years ago before the economy tanked.
We are now entering an expansion phase.
It's the exuberance phase before the crash. When money suddenly comes off the sidelines to flood the market while the underlying data indicates a downturn, it's a blinking red light that signals, "Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!"
Everyone else knows this (especially the markets), why do you not understand this?
Because my dividend-paying stock portfolio is unimpressed by this market — or Trump farting around on Twitter. The Dow Jones index can rise or fall on every tweet, but my stocks maintain their own course and dividends are reinvested every month.
When the tax rate drops hit you are going to see an unprecedented growth spree from businesses that have been choking on the U.S. largest corporate tax rate for the last decade or so.
When growth kicks off, so will inflation. The feds will be right there to choke inflation back under 2%. When the recession hits and markets crash, I'll be buying stocks all the way down.
Then you'd never get hired by me at my company. No Facebook, no job.
That's fine. During an active job search (eight hours per day), I typically talk or email 30+ recruiters per day. I routinely turned down jobs that I don't find suitable.
I want to know everything I possibly can about anyone I plan to pay.
The virtual trail under my legal name stopped in the 1990's. Since then other people with similar legal names have populated the Internet.
Even if you have a Facebook account, if it looks too 'clean' you'll likewise never be hired.
The government didn't care about that when they granted my security clearance. The two big red flags I had was 20+ jobs in a two-year period (the average person isn't an IT contractor who was out of work for two years and filed for chapter seven bankruptcy), and living 10+ years in the same studio apartment (average person moves every two to three years). My two-hour background interview lasted four hours.
The PI firm even gets me personal medical, mental health, military, and DMV records (I don't ask how and don't want to know).
Chinese hackers have my entire background file with more information than that.
We're overdue for a recession. However, I don't think Wall Street got the memo yet. Bonds are oversold as everyone and their mother jumped into the stock market. When the bandwagon drives past you, that's when you make a U-turn in the market. I've been buying up oversold bond funds since the election. Looking forward to buying stock shares on the way down after the market crashes.
They distribute tickets to stand in line for autographs now?
That depends on the event. Bigger events won't allow you to stand in line unless you have a ticket for an autograph. Smaller events will allow you to walk up to the person signing autographs to meet and greet for free. I did a write up on my blog for the Alien Con convention I went to last year, where I got the.autographs of Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica/Longmire), Jewel Staite (Firefly), and Marta Kristin (Lost In Space)
I don't have a Facebook account. But I do have a LinkedIn account with 800+ connections to recruiters I've talked to or worked with over the last 20+ years of my technical career.
Which one will get me a job? Neither.
Out of all the job search websites out there, Indeed is probably the best one. Especially if you can respond to a job posting within 15 minutes of it being posted. I've gotten many phone interviews and two job offers that way.
Last year Steve Wozinak (Apple) and Stan Lee (Marvel Comics) turned Big Wow Comic Con (~5,000 people) into Silicon Valley Comic Con (~60,000 people). They obviously oversold the event and it was epic disaster because they only had the convention center. I saw the crowds, wrote off $200 in passes and autograph tickets, and went home. The organizers gave me a VIP pass for 2017 SVCC in April. This year they will have the convention center and surrounding venues booked to accommodate the size. WWDC should fit the San Jose convention center nicely.
According to the rumors on the comic con circuit, San Francisco is getting too expensive to host smaller conventions. Pricing at Moscone is tied to how many hotel rooms that the city can collect taxes on. If your convention can't fill up the hotel rooms, expect to pay than it would cost somewhere else like San Jose or Santa Clara.
That lack of respect for time, lack of awareness of everyone who walked by you, and the lack of self respect in attire says you made the right call.
The IT manager was looking for a drinking buddy than a tech. Those guys and everyone around them who don't keep a professional distance tend to get fired by management.
At that time I was out of work for two years and getting ready to file Chapter Seven bankruptcy. Bailing out wasn't an option. Not long after that interview, I started working multiple jobs for seven days a week for the next two years to recover from the Great Recession.
Assuming your switch ports are documented to their connected wallplates, you can find the device by dumping the ARP table in the switch then finding the associated wallplate based on the offending MAC in the table. Impossible if you aren't doing the correct level of documentation, child's play if you are.
I don't think the network team was involved. Since the problem started the next morning after the new workstations got rolled out the night before, it was viewed as a desktop problem and not a network problem. Once the routers were found, it became a user problem.
[...] for what was apparently an intrusion that did not require the password.
Lucky you. Yahoo will let me change the password for my SBC Global email back when I had ATT DSL. I'm not allowed to change the password for the Yahoo account that my Yahoo email address is associated with.
This is exactly how I handle all the switches in all my networks.
That wasn't my experience at the Fortune 500 companies I've worked at. When I got into government IT, everything got locked down tight. Put a USB stick into your workstation, security will be at your desk in five minutes to take it away.
Sounds like you are incompetent if it takes you a day to recognize and find rogue routers.
It took the IT tech half a day to find and remove those routers. I was the Dell tech replacing the workstations, so it wasn't my problem that someone else was fouling up the networks.
Do you even ARP bro?
Please explain how to use ARP to find routers that are physically hidden behind two large workstations on the floor.
You are too busy eating 1500 calories a day while somehow weighing 350# and claiming it is from weight lifting.
If a computer enters the network that is not pre-authorized and already vetted, and gains unauthorized access IT is responsible.
I worked on a PC refresh project where the engineers were told that weren't going to keep their old workstation after the data transfer. Next morning they couldn't connect to the network with either the new or old workstations. Took an IT tech a better part of the day to track down a half-dozen rogue routers that were being used as a switches for the new and old workstations. Since the users didn't bother to turn off DHCP server on the routers, all nearby systems had a 192.168.1.x network address that went nowhere. The users got into trouble for attaching unauthorized devices to the corporate network.
I'm the janitor. The chief custodian wears a shirt and tie, so I do, too. Always dress like the boss, you know.
A recruiter sent me off to a bio tech company to interview for an IT support job. She told me to dress up in a suit and tie. I go into the lobby that doesn't have a receptionist, call the IT manager, and sat down. For 90 minutes people came and went through the lobby. I kept getting phone calls from the recruiter where the hell I was. Finally, a guy in sweat pants and shirt asked me who I was there to see. He was the IT manager. The CEO was dressed worse than him. Everyone, including all the scientists walking by, thought I was a venture capitalist.
Crimer is the ahole who would give you heck for mistping a word if you are on the other side of the aisle from him, but if your own team can't find light switches, doesn't read executve orders before they sign them, and makes up msasacres then it was a simple mistake. amiright cremier?
This sentence is almost as annoying as an email from a receptionist who had a plugin for the Eudora email client that displayed each letter in a different color. People who downloaded email in plain text never saw the problem. The rest of us who downloaded in HTML saw the email in its full rainbow glory.

What will you do when/if inflation kicks in, and interest rates jump?
Reassess, readjust and buy for the long term.

Also, Moscone is undergoing renovation that will close Moscone North and South from April to August this year.
IIRC, WWDC was always held in Moscone West. The MacWorld Expos were always held in North/South Moscone.
Too bad there is not an "edit" button, old chap.

Traditional marketing considers a 2% response rate as a good metric.

I bailed in a similar situation.
At that time I was out of work for two years and getting ready to file Chapter Seven bankruptcy. Bailing out wasn't an option. Not long after that interview, I started working multiple jobs for seven days a week for the next two years to recover from the Great Recession.
