That sucks, they were doing gangbusters earlier in the year, rumors of them buying a downtown LA building even.

Two of my friends in the video department got the axe because of this.

310 miles would be done at 75-80 mph depending on the speed limit. Puts it in the ~4 hour range, and me personally, I would probably take maybe 1 bathroom break, sometimes not. I could imagine driving between lunch and dinner.

Same here; evidence I have to support is that the ONLY people with (newer) cars [1] were Airbnb hosts. My host not only owned a late-model Suzuki 4door but also was getting into the business of "flipping" old apartments into Airbnbs/Casa particular. Since he had 24 hour access to the internet (somehow?? [2]) he also acted as the agent for other Airbnbs for people that didn't have access.

[1] Of course there were people with the old cars, but these were passed down and are, as I understand it, required by law to act as a mini-bus service.

[2] Although internet in Cuba is only officially available by buying a hourly code on a scratcher card from the telephone company and then Wifi is in the parks in Havana, I did notice bootleg Wifi SSIDs when walking the streets. They were easy to spot even without "war-walking" since they are a good 1/2 km from any nearby park and had usually a dozen folks on their phones browsing Facebook or using Skype. I suspect it's either an insider connection at the telephone company OR a clandestine Directway / Hughesnet satellite (there are NO visible dishes in Cuba, I believe it must be illegal).

Past customer as well. I found them to be exactly what I needed in the competitive market of LA. I was already doing most of the research and finding the listings I wanted anyway on the MLS. So why would I want to pay a commission to an agent that isn't doing much for me anyway.

I wondered that exact same thing on Friday; thanks for pointing it out.

Me viewing it along with the advertisements

Go to http://iptvtalk.org/ forum and read up. There's 3 "major" IPTV services and about a dozen or more specialized targeting various ethnic diaspora.

It's currently free for early sign-ups (like my company), and then they've moved the payment timeline to now October

> Billing will start on October 1, 2017, with the first bill issued on November 1, 2017.

We probably won't continue even at $2/user/mo, only about ~10 people use it and mostly just to post industry stories and/or press writings about our company.

For it to be viable (for us), they need to add in meetings a-la Google Hangouts, clone Slack, encourage employees to "Go Live" at events we do.

I've been speculating that they'll do a A11+x86 combo; possibly using a very underpowered, bargain basement x86 paired to an ARM for native binary compatibility during the transition.

Also should add RedIT has fiber runs across Mexico and the US Southwest and has a smaller map [1]

Some providers guard their city maps as trade secrets, but Zayo (which owns 2 undersea cables) has a nice interactive map of lit and dark fiber.

Fairly good, an aisle worth of general caps and resistors.

They typically purchase the best $ per MB. Even "shucking" external hard drives bought at Costco after Thailand experienced a flood that took offline several hard drive manufacturing plants. [1]

The Ruckus R600's are my go-to. I've done several offices and retail installations with those.

A close second is Xirrus, their APs are a bit bigger is size and look like oversized smoke detectors though. Though, if you work in events they are perfect: Controller built into the unit, and they have weird configurations of radios so you can deploy 16 directional radios on one device. Great for conferences where you can setup 2 of those in the corners, turn off the radios not pointing at the guests and have total airspace supremacy.

> I'm perplexed as to why they're having cost overruns in the flat Central Valley.

The land is extremely valuable farmland, plus the Central Valley leans fairly right politically.

Agreed. We had a SMB share on our network that had grown increasingly unused. Since there wasn't a business processes in place users organically started using Dropbox to communicate with clients.

Eventually they have you because then you realize that you have so much business information in them that you can't let employees walk out the door with.

Don't think so.

I used Zimride when I was moving from Portland to Los Angeles, I picked up some random guy along the way and dropped him off in SFV. Great way to subsidize gas of the moving truck.

After that it seemed like ZimRide went for the University market instead of having total strangers effectively do e-hitchhiking.

Now it seems Enterprise Car Rental bought the company.

Adding in for Sonic's fantastic support. I was only able to get DSL at my art gallery / commercial unit in Downtown LA (Cable internet was going to cost an arm and leg).

Primary purpose was live video streaming and they helped me switch my DSL to a different Annex type to give me more upload bandwidth.

Love to see this as well. Part of the selling point of Backblaze as an online backup is the ability to get a FedEx'd hard drive.

I could see this being a practicality for small time video editors, I need to keep copies of old projects, but would be willing to pay $300 to get an overnight hard drive of the files since whatever new project will pay for that cost.

Aren't they though? With 0-days it makes sense to be able to snapshot non mission-critical systems, bring them offline, until a patch is found.

Snapshotting alone is a security necessity when patching too. Very easy to rollback to a "good" state.

I would just take the Parking Spot shuttle to the one near the In-N-Out and hail an UberX from there. Tip the driver and it's perfectly fine.

That's a story I'd love to read about. OnTrac seems to use basically junker cheaply painted white mid-90s minivans whenever I see them about. They simply slap a magnet with OnTrac on it and it becomes a fleet vehicle.

While FedEx/UPS have their own custom designed fleet, OnTrac seems to scour auto auctions for theirs.

This satire alone created a $100 million bump. It makes sense now that in Feb to do a skunkworks satire/parody engine that runs on April 1st and compares against the other high frequency trading bots that aren't equipped to handle nuance.

I had the same exact model, except I bought mine Refurb'd from Apple with Applecare so it was going to run out this March. Rather than risk having a brick I sold it on Craigslist for $850. This is after having the logic board and hard-drive replaced twice by Apple a few years earlier.

Having no knowledge of either company beyond my own impressions I'd recon that Oracle is more "old-guard" employees in a much more collared shirt/blouse & khaki environment; while Pixar might lend to sneakers and t-shirts.

Plus, again, having no knowledge, Oracle might have a section of people with Top Secret clearance, further lending to more faith into the 'establishment'.

pureData would be my first guess.

Exactly, an interesting query would be some regex to see if owner_name is like address, e.g., "1234 Street Address Holdings, LLC"

Any recommendations of other BSD VPS providers?

Not the snowman, but there is an In-App purchase for "The Bear"
