Since they invested their time in you, I would suggest that you give back in kind. Call them, send them a note, email/text, etc. It is easier than ever to keep in touch with people now-a-days. Meet them in person if they are open to that and you are able to.

If some of these mentors are retired, I'm sure they would love to hear from a former protege/student/mentee. Watching my dad after his retirement, he always enjoys these interactions with his former colleagues -- talk about their profession or department. Made his day/week in most cases. Retirement can be professionally lonely sometimes.

This the same pattern as retail stores making it hard or easy to return a purchased item. If the return process is simple and straight-forward for the customer, they will not hesitate making future purchase decisions even if there is some uncertainty. I know there is some pain involved for the retailer, but it should part of the cost of doing business.

Interesting hypothesis. If it is true, what does it say about social networks like FB if in-person networks provide better trust building than online ones.

"Rubber ducking." As in speaking to your rubber duck with no expectation of a response? First time seeing this usage. Thanks.

Pretty accurate, actually. Even has details of the several recently built city metro rail systems.

Just noting humorously related typos, that's all. I'll add smilies here so you can comprehend. :-) :)

First "pain mixing machines," and now "asp(i)rin is nice."

I think Arabic, Persian and Indian civilizations of the time referred to all Greeks as Unani or Yunani (Ionian).

Yes, I add my recommendation too for SmartTubeNext for Android TV. Awesome app with frequent updates.

+1 for the TP-Link EAP225 and its brethren (they have a cloud management portal, but with just a handful of units they can be managed individually or via self-hosted management server).

I use mine with a Mikrotik RB4011. A very stable and reliable combination.

At least that building has been re-imagined and revived as an office, entertainment, housing, dining hub.

Not to its full, old glory, but at least it is not abandoned anymore.

From the Reuters article: > "Because Voccola's firm was in the process of fixing a vulnerability in the software that was exploited by the hackers when the ransomware attack was executed, some information security professionals have speculated that the hackers might've been monitoring his company's communications from the inside."

They might have rushed to exploit it before it was closed. Plus the long weekend. Or competitive pressure to exploit before someone else gets there first.

Probably, but it will be a 48-team field in the 2026 World Cup.

Is there anything that can be done from the user perspective to improve your streaming experience. Beyond bandwidth.

If the workers cannot come to the US, won't the work go to the workers? I think we will see more off-shoring to get around this and other work-visa restrictions talked about by the administration. While the outsourcing companies _love_ sending bodies to the US (which enables them to bill the best rate for the same person/work), they can continue their work in their offshore locations.
