Just like Bernie Madolff did, expect he never made it but to jail. Holmes must had better lawyers.

Maybe the guy has an ISIS attorney? From what I read, it sounds like joining ISIS is becoming a citizen of their "country", and one has to denounce their previous citizenship(s).

I've not found a methodology yet that can displace smart decisions.

Methodologies organize projects to help further smart decisions and avoid dumb ones, but smart decisions and skill still dictate the success or failure of projects.

In the end, the people are still more important than the methodology, but I've encountered a mentality a few times where people believed a good methodology will fix all.

I've seen companies keep changing methodologies looking for success with largely the same staff, and key decision makers, but yet the results are the same. Insanity, anyone?

That traceroute example doesn't lie at all, just creative writing. The author conviently does not mention VPN not once. Plus, MPLS service providers have been around awhile. It's technology is well-understood.

Traceroute can missrepresent where latency is due to how it uses the TTL field, but increasing the sampling size usually averages out that issue.

I had an interview at Facebook where the hiring manager completely forgot about it. Ackward, because he was the one I was suppose to meet in the lobby. One of the interviewers came late and took me upstairs, and between the him and the other three, I heard three different stories about what happened to the hiring manager.

However, in the interviews, I came under the impression that Facebook knows very well what they do, where they are going, and what their 7-year plan is.

It's just that corporations don't market that as their image, but prefer to cultivate an image they deem more likeable to attract customers. I'll bet that Mark knows this, and what his company is doing quit well even though at some things, they seem in disarray.

On mobile devices, I can see this API for decent tracking. However, for laptops, it seems easy to have the laptop fully charged and plugged in to defeat it as this is probably a very common state.

It would be fun to alter the API output to randomize the battery data. Even have it be off power, and slowly climb in charge.

I would be suspicous of accuracy fromemployee-driving data collect of compensation. Companies go to great lengths to keep that private.

Of course, I am suspicous of company reported compensation data as well.

So suspicous data + suspicous data != accurate data, automatically.

I remember rushing to purchase a HP calculator at employee discount while interning at HP. Most of us did so. A few who had a relative in the medical field, or a spouse going to med school, bought the stethoscope at employee discount.

Those two items were status symbol back then.

I spent quite a few years growing up in Japan back several decades ago, and my experience is that Japan is about efficiency. Most common foods were served in a bowl, not in smaller, highly decorate plates, and more of them. Food was always served prepared, meaning one did not need a knife or fork. One had to learn to use chopsticks, and for rice as well.

There were establishments that look close to the pictures if one searches the usual search engines, but I observed most food was eaten in the home, or packed in lunch boxes.

I'd be concerned if the data from the 100 wlan nodes in very close proximity becomes too skewed from real world implementations. And whether that skewed data is valid enough to build a simulation around.
