So is Microsoft, at least, on Linked-In. I tested it last year and deleted my profile. Had a friend check and everything was gone...Everything including public posts.
LinkedIn has a remorse period of something like 21 days. And I had plan to test recovery process also. Then got busy with a contract and was too late to recover. It's awesome!
I think any global IT company must deal with GDPR kind of like most automakers in U.S. follow California emission standards. It's easier to create a policy for all than create "one off" policies for a geopolitical region.
@al_chemist Thank you! Between software frameworks and embedded systems engineering...oh hell just being in tech. in general there are way too many acronyms. Thank you for actually listing the definition! :-)
Okay, this may what it has become but I've done both jobs at the same time.
To me DevOps: One must understand the build system, stack, and the minutiae related to maintaining that build stream. It's a lot of work and at least in the past was more of a developer responsibility and not a "System Admin" type responsibility.
System Administration: Security, User Accounts, Policy, Backups, Network Configuration, Automation, Reliability.
Sure there is some overlap but these used to be completely separate functions and with good reason there was a lot to understand about each workflow.
Modern workflows (K8s, AWS, Docker, VMs, Jenkins, CI, TDD) have mostly take the "System" out of system administration while improving reliability and speeding development while (I think) suffering security. But that's another post or maybe I will write an article about it.
I've been both insured and uninsured. I agree with you. I'd rather die than go to a hospital and leave with enough debt to cover Harvard, Standford, or [name your institution].
Also, know that the primary care givers (nurses mostly but also doctors) don't get paid as much as you think they might. The insurance companies are all for profit so the system is gamed this way.
Thanks for that link! For non-urgent routine care I have a local doctor. I was going to recommend to you a2zimaging, which was a service I used for discount MRIs using unused capacity nationwide, but I see just now they've gone defunct in the last year or so. They used to have MRI scans for $250-$500 depending on state. This was less than the over $10,000 I was quoted without. I seems there's other services claiming to do something similar now but I have no experience with them.
I've also paid cash at old specialists who don't accept Medicare, and traveled to Mexico for care. I've also gotten superb care while overseas. Single payer is probably the answer. If I need serious surgery some day I will likely do it in India. Your site there seems a reasonable alternative I would look into.
But this still leaves open the situations with a serious accident requiring immediate care which would surely bankrupt anyone. Insurance never covers whatever care is nearest to a random accident site, and this scheme is by design, along with the curious situation where each hospital and their staff are carefully partitioned out to different networks.
A TV set never turns off! It is well known in the industry. Standby usually just turns of the LCD, backlight and changes LED colour.
Try this: Switch TV to standby then turn on. Time how long this takes. Unplug TV for 30 seconds plug in and then turn on. It will take a while for the TV to boot from cold start.
Actually from the link you provided, airspeed is absolutely a quantitative indicator of a stall.
"The airspeed indicator provides quantitative information about angle of attack, when the airspeed is not too low. Correction factors must be applied to correct for nonstandard weight and/or load factors.3"
