all the new crypto exchanges popping up and anything that can convert between fiat and crypto

I agree however as someone who works with a number of H-1Bs (who id argue should be here) my concern is always the collateral damage. But regardless either way things seem broken

yep, as a consultant who has done work in the automotive industry you need to show up in one of their vehicles

I am just hoping self driving cars come out in the next 5-10 years and hopefully that expands the geographic area you can reasonably live in and still commute to work.

This, I think letting individuals/teams figure it out is the best option. Some projects, and even specific times within a project, call for being physically with the team and other times i am more productive being able to just focus on a task at home.

Also I find that my time spent in the office depends on the season. During the Spring and Fall when it is a perfect temperature for being outside i love going into the office and being able to go out for a nice lunch outdoors somewhere with coworkers.

I work in the ediscovery industry, we very regularly need to send large collections which can easily be a TB+ to another location on short notice. One of our favorite things to do with new folks is have them hop on a plane with a hard drive, give it to someone at the airport, and get right back on the same plane.

The flip side of that is that with the new monthly phone payment option you are now able to upgrade yearly

this in my opinion is the real issue, when i fly international people tend to check bags/the planes have ample overhead bin space i always find that the boarding process goes surprisingly fast. On domestics inevitably someone boards the plan sitting in row 6 but all the overheead space is full until you get to row 10 and they stand there confused for a few minutes

They bought a tool called Equivio too, i work in the ediscovery/legal world and it was very rapidly becoming the industry standard. My understanding is Microsoft is going to integrate alot of the functionality into office/outlook, theres a lot of uncertainty as to what will replace it.

Maybe time to pick up some stock hah they seem to be making succesful purchases that make sense vs "diworsification"
