Linked – You Have Competition So Turn Up the Juice

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

“When you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done. Whatever your age, job situation, work history, or family way, turn up the juice going forward. Do it now, do it for your team, your company, and yourself—that is, unless you are ready to give up. But if you are like me, you aren’t about to give up. You must realize that personal reinvention never ends whether you have a little gray hair or no hair.”

Interestingly, I was recently having a conversation with someone about life, not necessarily a career, but the same thoughts occurred to us, you should never stop moving forward, finding ways to improve, and learning new skills.

Seriously, why would you want to?

This makes sense, we spend a lot of time at work, and once we add in a commute, it’s probably closer to 50% or more: ““People who are employed full-time outside the home spend approximately 33 percent of their waking hours at their workplace,” writes Jennifer Veitch, Ph.D., in a 2011 report on workplace design…

Yeah, remember all that took about being flexible for single parents, the diversity and inclusion projects we talked about kicking off, the efforts we were going to make on remote work to help us be more inclusive? Turns out that required some hard work we weren’t really interested in doing. They see this, they know it, and they are going to look for a place that is better. They no longer trust you.

Who will you be left with when everyone who wants better leaves for it?

My advice? Always check your credit card bills. Get online access to your statement and check what is being charged to your account on a weekly basis, especially if you travel and use your credit card often as part of your work. Report anything that doesn’t make sense. Chances are your credit card details have…

Linked: Cities and States Find New Ways to Tax Streaming Services

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I reject that argument too, and here is why.

In order to be a customer of Netflix, Disney+, etc. you need broadband internet access, which runs through those wireline facilities. The ISP is already paying for using the right of way and passing that expense on to you. Any service, streaming video, audio, websites you visit, etc. is using the connection that has already been paid for and passed on to you. Taxing each individual service simply creates a situation where there is one connection using the infrastructure, being paid for over and over again and then being passed back to you over and over again.

I can get behind this, sharing without reading is a huge problem, so why not nudge people to read it before they share it? “Twitter Inc. will prompt some users to click links to other websites before retweeting them, part of an effort to discourage the spread of misinformation and foster more thoughtful communication on…

Linked: Lesser Included Emails in Threads Must Be Produced, Court Rules

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Essentially, if you’re not familiar with email threading, the idea is that if a group of people is sending emails back and forth by hitting the Reply button, and the previous email is copied into the body of the previous email, you don’t really have to read each individual email. At some point, later emails have the entire conversation in them. This means that it’s not necessary to read the “lesser included emails” because you already read them as part of the thread. But, the problem Judge Aaron describes is that while the text is there at the end of thread messages, you’re missing important metadata that is unique to the individual message.

As I said, having worked with Teams messages often I have seen this, where a transcript doesn’t have all of the message metadata, especially the time/dates of each message versus the beginning or end of the chat. If you’re creating those transcripts and not including each message in your production, you might be running afoul of your production requirements.

But, as I said, IANAL, so don’t take my word for it, do your own testing.
