I want a pinhole camera in my monitor so I can make eye contact with the other side when I'm looking at them. That's the biggest lacking feature to me on pc video conferencing.

Having worked with Intel fab from inside Intel design and with TSMC at a different company, Intel fab would do very well to standardize and work on supporting their customers. If they decoupled and provided better processes, it would greatly improve the experience for those working with the fab. As it is right now, the Intel fab has always been the tail that wags the dog. They've carried Intel off and on for so many years that if design wants something and the fab pushes back, well design gets to pound sand and find some workaround to the fab's processes.

I thinks it's possible with the access we both have to the other country's media via Netflix, prime, Hulu, et c., that our accents re-merge. When I was a kid, British accents were a little harder and Scottish accents were impossible, but after 15 years of Netflix, I don't even notice British accents anymore and Scottish accents are noticeable, but understandable.

Stackoverflow is like online gaming . Just mute/ignore the morons and jerks, and get on with you life. I've received a ton of hate on SO, but I've also received so many answers to questions that would have taken me at least a day to figure out on my own. Some angry dweeb launches a tirade at me, and some kind soul gives me an answer. Ignore the dweeb, go to lunch, ship the feature.

The rule I was taught growing up in USA was 15% and it was really only for sit down restaurants where waiters served you at your table.

Now, tipping in USA has metastasized, but I haven't changed. You want to play a guilt trip game after every business engagement? You'll lose against me. Tip for pouring a cup of drip coffee?---nah. Tip for making fast food? Nope. I will not enable the tip-everywhere culture.

Their processes allow it. They simple have a process of saying, "processes don't allow it" until you notify them that they'll need to get the necessary waivers up the chain of command or you'll be working elsewhere shortly.

A story like what you're describing is in the etymological history of the word "villain". The rich had villas outside the city and people who lived and/or were servants in a villa were villains. No judgement here, but interesting parallel.

I think it is more, "rich people buy assets and poor people buy liabilities."

Almost every successful real estate person I have contact with thinks very highly of RDPD. If you listen to real estate podcasts, almost everyone recommends RDPD. I agree it is light on many details, but many people seem to get a great deal out of that book.
