You could do something like nextcloud to solve a lot of issues, but I’d still hesitate to recommend on-prem hardware and managing hardware yourself. It really comes down to the business tolerance for outages though, maybe the computers being down for a day or two doesn’t matter.

Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you’re away and their business is down?
I’d strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you’re an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.

The iss speed is relative to earth. The earth speed is probably relative to the sun. There’s no common frame of reference between the two numbers.

Escalate to your manager. She’s not performing her duties, and if she’s not capable anymore then her duties need to reflect that.

Tldr: we like money. We think people will pay for it, so we’re charging.

No lawyer / accountant is going to sign off on that. It would get flagged as fraud during due diligence and lower the price due to the risks of lawsuits and fines

Yes, it’s not worth them fucking around with various pii / gdpr fines. As someone who has worked with pii, we always took deletion requests seriously.

Well I’m glad I downloaded all my genome data and deleted it a few months ago. It was easy to do, there’s no way excuse not to.

Shoot it down, or just get it’s attention. A lot of the time there’s a radio fuckup. If some guy cruising in his Cessna sees a fighter pull up along side, he’s definitely switching to 121.5.
Otherwise be there to shoot it down quicker if it looks like it might be taking an aggressive action.
- Comment on What happened to cylindrical plugs? 1 month ago:
Usb c has 24 pins. A typical barrel / stereo style jack has 2 - 4. The connector would have to be absolutely huge to carry the number of wires.
Power plugs are similar problems. You can’t risk the pins crossing over each other and shorting out. You don’t care about that on your headphones due to the low voltages. Wall plugs need to be fully isolated and safe.

- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
I think there’s a lot of grunt work artists than you might be aware of. My last job was at a video game studio and it was kinda eyeopening the amount of generic story boarding / art work they would send over to Eastern Europe / Asia to be done for cheap.
The visible side of the industry (what you’re talking about) yeah I agree, but AI is slowly going to pick away at the lower skill levels until only experts are really useful. How does a junior become an expert in that world?
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
how will it change the average person’s life in 1 - 3 years?
To be blunt, it’ll probably make them worry about losing their job. AI can’t do everything and it does a lot of stuff pretty shitty, but so do a lot of people.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
A lot will fail yes, but I think there’s actually a lot of value in AI and many will succeed. Blockchain has always been a solution in search of a problem, but AI actually can help in a lot of ways.

I was intrigued by those things a while ago but the subscription + cloud BS was a no-go for me. That aquarium chiller is a cool idea, but not many of those covers on ebay.

- Comment on Why are headhunters or recruiters so laser focused on getting my resume? 2 months ago:
So they can take it, modify it to fit the job description they’re trying to get a commission on, get you in, collect their commission, then disappear.
Their commission is often 25% of your yearly salary.

We saw a spike of users for the papaya snark community when they were banned off reddit, I think it’s that.
