ramble81 , to Work Reform in Pillaging by the Super-Rich Will Continue Until the Working Class Revolts

My biggest fear is the first targets will be the “mildly well off, but basically top of the working class” because those are people that are visible and are your neighbors or people you know that can actually take a vacation, and the 0.1% will stoke that as a way of keeping the spotlight off of them.

Incidentally it can also work at your existing company. I’ve gotten 5 promotions in 6 years and my salary is 120% more than when I started. It’s less the company hopping part and more ensuring you grow in your career. I’ve found that it’s definitely about stating your desires (having a clearly defined “this is where I want to go in my career”), volunteering for the random projects your boss or their boss needs done and showing you want to grow.

Gee, could it be forcing people back to work when they don’t want to go back? Nah…. Maybe the crippling inflation with no raise…. Nah…. What could it be? /s

ramble81 , to xkcd in xkcd #2898: Orbital Argument

When dealing with gravitational systems the gravity of each object has to be taken into account. So even though the sun is 99.999% (hyperbole) of the gravity in the equation, the earth’s gravity contributes that small 0.001% and thus the “center” of where they orbit isn’t truly the center of the sun. Tack on Jupiter, which is much more than a fraction of a percent and that “center” moves even farther away from the middle of the sun.

To look at it further, if you had two objects of perfectly equal mass and no other gravitational interference, they would orbit around a point in the middle of each other since their pull is equal. So it’s basically a sliding scale of sorts.

Hope that explains it!

“ A careful reading of official Major League Baseball Rule 6.08(b) suggests that in this situation, the batter would be considered “hit by pitch”, and would be eligible to advance to first base.”

I see Starbucks closing 21 stores in the future for “issues”

ramble81 , to Sysadmin in Leaving VMware? Consider these 5 FOSS hypervisors • The Register

Yup. That’s another reason we don’t have individual systems. And most thin clients aren’t designed to connect 1:1 to a VM. They usually need a broker of some sort.

In our case we have over 1500 employees using it, but only about 500 at a time. It’s an extreme waste of resources to have to provision 3x the hardware rather than use ephemeral systems. Also it’s much easier to patch a “gold” image and recompose entire pools than have to manage all of the systems as if they were full on laptops. Just to name a couple things off the top of my head.

Now what about EUC replacements. That’s the more sticky situation.

ramble81 OP , to Ask Science in What part of sunlight causes algae to grow?

Awesome, so if I’m reading that right UV can contribute to growth, and IR doesn’t contribute much at all. The blue and red end of the visible spectrum encourages growth, however it can pretty much occur at any visible wavelength, just not as efficient as the bands listed on the image.

ramble81 , to Star Trek in Just some fun size comparisons

Did not realize that the Intrepid class was that much smaller than a Sovereign class. I though it was maybe slightly smaller.

ramble81 , to Work Reform in 'Wildly more expensive': Workers with in-office jobs spend about $31/day that they wouldn't working from home — here's what employers need to do

There’s about 246 working days (assuming you take up to 3 weeks a year off for sick/vacation, I know may be high for some people). At $31/day that’s $7,600. Use an average of 32% on taxes and you’d have to give a person at least an $11,200 raise to offset that savings…. And companies are still wondering why people are hesitant to come back?

If you’re having trouble with sub-100 you’re doing it wrong. I manage a 5,000+ user environment without a lot of overhead. Having AADC and being tied to on-premise AD greatly helps a lot of it. Also utilizing Intune.

ramble81 , to Sysadmin in Getting Azure joined desktops with multiple users working.

This may be what you’re looking for. Treat the system like a VDI install when you’re installing things and look for “machine-wide” installers. Also consider getting FSLogix (free from Microsoft) to put user profiles in portable containers.
