Just quoted fragments from https://icon.com/careers, not a complete reproduced listing. Odd that you can apply to be a "founding" engineer, "founding" creative, etc.
POE switches can have more jacks than they can provide power for. I have five pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras but learned they can need up to 40 watts each, preventing plugging them all into a particular POE switch I had. Chaining a couple of switches solved the problem, be beware how much power your devices need to consume.
If the original bedbugs migrated from the office to employee homes, or vice versa, they'll probably find that after treating the office the bugs will just get reintroduced.
I have yet to re-watch a TV show or movie I saw long ago and not discover that some scene or dialog I thought I could recall exactly was in fact different from what I remembered. The older a given memory, the more inexact it is.
If a physical weapon is sent across a border to attack and disrupt something in another country, is that an act of war? Is a cyber attack by one country on the assets of another essentially the same thing? If so, what retaliation is justified? If not, what's the limit on how far and wide cyber attacks can be attempted? Seems like cyber attacks might easily be escalated to the point of causing actual warfare.
...and I believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a Course of Years, and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.
~ Benjamin Franklin, Closing Speech at the Constitutional Convention (1787)
I think the likes of Stalin and Hitler had the intelligence, cunning, and control to actually lead their misguided followers. What worries me about someone like Trump is how an immoral and unethical grifter can keep fooling roughly half the population, while the puppet masters behind him push their agenda. I'm worried we're moving into an era where presidential candidates will merely be a personality, incapable of any significant train of thought, and unseen controllers will actually be calling all the shots. At least Mile Bruner came to his senses and has decided to do the right thing.
Interesting that you assume I'm not a minority. Black home ownership was 38% in 1960, and maybe even higher in Seaside, because a lot of Black GI's were based in adjacent Fort Ord.
I work part-time at an art gallery (not a museum) with 300 pieces from 300 artists, on two floors. The typical visitor walks through, looking but not stopping, often not bothering with upstairs. It's rare for anyone to take more than 20 minutes.
San Francisco also has a well-known hi-rise disaster. You would think that after decades of the USA building skyscrapers that new construction would be a slam dunk.
Let's assume you work 8 hrs/day, sleep 8 hrs/day, and do everything else in the remaining 8 hrs/day. So work is half your waking hours. Decide which is more important to you: the 8 hrs of work or the 8 hrs of everything else, and choose your location accordingly.
You're never going to be with fewer obligations and responsibilities than in your 20's, so now is the best time to experiment. When I was in my 20's, my job and location changed every 2 to 3 years, so anything I decided didn't turn out to be permanent anyway.
On my monitor, the text font and color you've chosen bleeds badly and contrasts imperfectly against your black background. It was irritating enough I had to give up reading.
Probably every hugely successful company has a story about an investor that passed up a ground floor opportunity then later regretted it. However, the number of those investors is probably far outnumbered by the number of investors who took a chance on a company that went nowhere.
Yes, competition is good and mergers and acquisitions are bad. It also shows why you always have to internally be comparing yourself to the competition and not be complacent, before someone independently does the comparison for you and you're embarrassingly caught with your pants down.
A few years ago I had a Mac floppy from the 90's I could no longer read but wanted to retrieve a file from. I sent it to a data recovery service that had high expectations of success, but they failed too. It was so disappointing.
Decades ago I had Chinese coworkers and decided to ask them to teach me a word or two a day. I immediately discovered I could not tell the difference between the five tonal sounds of "ma" and so never got very far at all.
In 1960 my parents bought a brand-new 3 bedroom 1.5 bath in Seaside California for just under $16,000, with no significant savings. He was an Army sergeant and she was a housewife and I had one sister. I doubt anyone in their situation could find a similar deal and location and pull that off today.
I spent many months renovating a commercial building. The highest estimate received for painting was almost 10x the lowest! The range of estimates for flooring, electrical, roofing, and other big jobs was also laughably wide. Surprisingly, the low or near-lowest bidder was often a very acceptable and competent choice.
I've always wondered why Google offers free email, free document space, a free browser, etc., but no free VPN. Perhaps Mozilla will finally make them come around.
99.99% of artists definitely CAN'T make a living off only their art, but most can survive anyway by some form of other employment. Even though some small degree of government subsidies will always be around to help artists, and perhaps that's a noble principle, I'd just rather see my tax dollars go to health care or trade schools or food banks or child care or disaster relief or Meals On Wheels or medical research or similar efforts to help those in desperate need, instead of to artists choosing to be artists. There's always someone worse off than an artist, through no fault of their own.
I manage a large art gallery that exhibits a large number of artists, selected from our database of over 4,000 artists, most of which are in the local area.
NONE of them can make a living solely off their art.
Personally, if I wanted to subsidize someone who could bootstrap their talent and efforts into self-sufficiency, I'd never pick an artist.
At that same company, I remember the VP of Marketing having zero ethics. He had an ad agency think up and develop an ad campaign, then told them no, and took all their ideas and examples to a different agency to avoid being charged for the concept.
Years ago, as a programmer, I would say I didn't HATE our salesmen (we had no saleswomen), but I was definitely not IMPRESSED with them, because they would say anything, even lie. I remember our company had an open house for employee families, during which our lone minicomputer was programmed to make the reel-to-reel backup tape move back and forth just to have it doing something. When our top salesman brought his family around to show off our computer room, he just made up and announced some BS story about that moving tape, and his story had no relation to any past, present, or future truth. I immediately thought "God knows what he claims when talking to our customers".
It would be helpful for the box for each test to include some explanation, eg:
25-Hydroxyvitamin D, also known as calcidiol, regulates calcium absorption in the intestines, promotes bone formation and mineralization, and supports immune function.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is a protein that binds to LDL receptors on cells, allowing lipoproteins to deliver cholesterol and triglycerides to tissues for energy or storage.
Lipoprotein(a) is a low-density lipoprotein variant identified as a risk factor for atherosclerosis and related diseases, such as coronary heart disease and stroke.
