Nope. I find that Cisco Enterprise Wireless Accesspoints are complete crap in regards to phones if your IT department doesn't update their firmware regularly.
Work recently ripped out all the Cisco junk and installed UniFi and all wireless problems, mobile and other went away.
Keep em coming... Whatever they are my friend.

We'll not see their like again...
My kids even know Rick-Roll and Lime Cat. Hell, I saw Lime Cat in the 90's.
I do understand the solar industry, that's why I fliped two big middle fingers to them and bought and imported all china solar panels and installed a 5Kwh setup for drastically cheaper than any of the overpriced US crap.
Spent 1/2 the price got the same panels all monocrystalline and of very good quality build. It's been in operation for 3 years now with no problems. I use grid intertie and drive the meter backwards. No local storage.
Electrical bill is $14.95 a month because you have to pay the "fees" and the scumbag leaders in my states government passed a law that allows the power company to not pay for any surplus I generate above my own use.
Offer a package with solar panels so we can get off the grid with no maintenance that a typical solar+wind offgrid setup requires.
Most people can barely change the batteries in their TV remote, they cant handle the work involved in taking care of an offgrid power system. Been there done that.
Actually better than normal. a slackware install is at least two orders of magnitude faster than Ubuntu.
I've moved back to slackware for ham radio use, I got tired of fighting with the 6 different audio systems, 40 different places to put config files, etc...
OSS and
Or an even more novel concept, use a Distro that doesnt shovel all that crap into it. If you really like Ubuntu, go to Debian. All the goodness and none of the ads or phone home junk.
Will systemd increase or reduce performance? I cant get any straight answers out of the gigantic whinefest that is the systemd controversy.
The context is US employees. The majority of employees are in the US
No it's not and no they aren't. Most Google employees and most Google revenues are outside the USA.
Name your country with a significant number of Google employees in which Google routinely hires people who do not speak an official language of that country, please.
Switzerland, as just one example.
Young people are working long hours, as you said yourself. Those young people are not staying, as the data confirms
Jesus christ, you're bad at this. The data doesn't say that. Google has very low attrition rates and always has. If all the young people were burning out and leaving the average age would be higher than it is, wouldn't it?
Google are low on gender, age, and race diversity compared to nearly every other tech company
You haven't shown that, or even begun to lay the groundwork for that. The demographics of Google engineering are pretty similar to the demographics of people taking CS courses at universities, which should not be surprising to anyone.
Like a few of my friends who walked away from the Google interview process, the moment I started hearing discussions of fitting into the "culture", I saw that it was a business comprised of smart but narrowminded techs who did not really know any better
All organisations have cultures, it's inherent to any group of people that's allowed to be selective. If you don't believe this then all that suggests to me is you work at a place where you fit in well enough that you don't recognise that there is a culture at all.
It's all static electricity. nothing more.
how it builds as pockets, that is the part they are trying to figure out.
The single most mind blowing photo for me? Hubble eXtreme Deep Field http://www.nasa.gov/images/con...
Too bad the picture was photobombed by Milky Way attention whoring stars.
Who said anything about the USA? You realise Google has offices all over the world, right?
And who said anything about burning out? You're the one who decided that must happen. I've not seen any burned out young people at Google. The only burnout I knew there was a guy in his 50s.
And the only "evidence" of discrimination in hiring comes from this article, which is deeply questionable. Amongst other things it assumes every employee at Google does software development, which is very far from true (there is a massive sales division that skews young for the same reason bar staff do - it's not a very appealing long term job).
Yes, you're right, in America that must definitely be a component of it. I'm from the UK where political parties get a lot of public funding so the influence of money is less overt (it still happens).
It's sounds bizarre but could have happened. Some people do crazy stuff to get a job there. When I was an interviewer there, part of interview training was learning tricks to detect candidates who were looking up answers on the internet. Sometimes you could ask a question and hear them typing in the background.
The article says the interviewer requested him to read the code out over the phone and that the interviewer was barely fluent in English. Those are two massive red flags that something odd was happening.
Google has a large pool of interviewers and some of them are better than others. There's no doubt about that. But in many years of working there I never encountered anyone with less than excellent English skills, and I cannot imagine anyone asking a candidate to read code out over the phone. That's just an obviously stupid thing to try and do, especially when the candidate offered to share it via Google Docs. SOP there is to send the candidate a Docs link for shared coding together, but even if something went wrong with that process, when the candidate offers to fix it that sounds and the interviewer refuses that sounds very much like he wasn't really talking to a Google employee. Think about it - if the person on the other end of the phone was a MITM then he'd need to have given his own very obviously non @google.com email address to receive the document. Busted.
