To further elaborate, there's always going to be flows that require large units. Like a link between EU and the US.
I think you are mixing up throughput with latency. Can you confirm that you're not?
There's still better options. You can get a low interest loan against your portfolio. That way, your portfolio is accumulating interest faster than the loan rate. At Merrill Lynch, this is called a LMA, loan management account[1].
I'm not rich, so I'm not sure what other options the wealthy have.

There's also a sparkfun dev board linked from that page which is around $150. It mentions that if ordering less than 25
I have a pretty unique last name, and it was sent to
[email protected] and the greenhouse email only had my first name in it so I don't know what other information was submitted.

I got one from greenhouse today saying that a company I've never heard of is no longer considering my application. Is this some kind of H1B fraud? Is it a recruiter just submitting my resume? Something else?
I think the best way is to work at a growing company and show leadership and growth potential. Start completing projects on time and you'll probably get promoted or tasked with additional sr level responsibilities.
If you don't get promoted, you at least have some talking points when leaving at your next interview which can place you in that seniority bracket.
what if they lay off another person, does the article need to be update then? There's some advantage in using approximate numbers.
If it's not something you can scope out when the task is brought up, you can specify how much time it would take you to research it in more detail to get an estimate.
unable to copy ATC instructions, unable to cross stuff off my in flight check list. I guess not screwed, but when task saturated, it wouldn't be good.
I was taking flight lessons and dropped my pen under the rudder pedals. I had a pencil in my pocket and my flight instructor said he was impressed that I had a backup.
This kind of drove home that you need to be prepared for a lot of different outcomes because I would have been screwed if I was flying by myself and was unable to take notes.
If anyone wants to read more about this, there's a book called "the bomber mafia" that covers it in detail.
replace the lanyard of your work badge if you wear one and then throw the others away.
Good callout. Yeah, I should be referring to the electrical circuit as a 15A circuit and not that it's just a limitation of the breaker.
We have the original fabric sheathed wire as well in the walls still which needs to be replaced to modernize the electrical system.
You haven't shared your resume, but your tone seems to suggest you might think it isn't the greatest. Have you tried different formats of resumes that maybe highlight some of the skills you have that are relevant to the positions or show off some of the projects you have done?
I'm not sure about how much experience you have since you only give your age, but if you are applying for senior remote positions, do they spotlight the skills that a senior engineer has?
Independentness, mentoring junior members, etc?
keep in mind that is not idle power consumption. If you are setting a limit like that it's because of heating or power constraints (battery? PSU?)
I think the issue is with older houses that might have 15 amp circuit breakers compared to the modern standard of 20A. One high end desktop computer by itself isn't likely to be a problem, but the way these houses are wired, there are a lot of outlets on the same breaker since they were mostly designed for lighting loads. Our 1950 house in MI will flip the breaker if we use the microwave, toser and bathroom vent at the same time, and my desktop is also on that circuit (with a UPS)
This is the same advice I'd give, but I'd also assume that the laptop is going to break within 2 years or so in a way that's worth just buying a new one (or another used one). Just an antidote, but that's about how long they last me.
You don't really want your phone sitting in sunlight. The battery shouldn't be charged as it starts to heat up.
Ah, I guess that's probably the Damian he's referring to in his slides then.
What does your phishing email filtering pipeline look like?
You are kinda getting of the beaten path here and you seem to know it.
I did this and it was the best thing I ever did for my career. The contracting company was kinda neglecting the contract and the company I moved over was fed up. The company ended up agreeing to end the contract in exchange for my non-compete to be nullified.
Read the contract, mine didn't have it though (2020).
What about a flow that works like, "Please enter your phone number to leave feedback about your service today and we'll send you a free gift for your next visit."
I used to have a job doing this at a different REC in the mid 2000s and we had terminals that I think were connected to some mainframe system.
The keyboard layout was custom for the application like they show in the video. The software would expect numbers at certain times, so you'd just type numbers using the home row and it'd switch back over the alpha chars after you input the correct number of number chars.
I found
https://badssl.com/ which at least helps me with the SSL cert issues, but I would still love to hear any other good solutions for testing other types of networking errors.

I am working on a gateway product and would like to start focusing on reliability and handling intermediate networking errors. What are some techniques and tools I can use to force them so that I can write code that gracefully handles them? I am thinking stuff like certificate errors, DNS lookup failures, socket disconnected errors, timeouts, invalid data returned over the socket when...
there's standardized tooling you can use to do this from git, or you can just use `hugo deploy` from your workstation.
At the "largest" level, you should accept 1-2 hours of minor setup/fiddling at least.
