Comment If he's right, (Score 1) 206

I won't be using Facebook in 5 years.

First, video is a pox. Most waste time with pointless or awkward intros, fail to make the point, or, -the worst-, communicate a technical point or information by repeating the unimportant stuff over and over and over. Most video should be text.

Second, a predominantly video Facebook guarantees it will NOT be user-created. You're not creating a quick video on the A train, or being stuck on the PCH, or walking to school. Oh, wait, you are. And doing it badly. Point 1 again.

Never mind. Video will still suck.

When I was stationed at Keesler AFB in Biloxi MS, a while ago, they were busy trucking sand from the most recent hurricane had deposited it back to the Biloxi beaches. they seemed to have lost >10 feet of it.

In Maine, I lived near a beach being depleted by changes in circulation caused by a railroad bridge some 12-20 miles north. Among other things, homes were being undermined. So far as I know, the bridge was modified, but it takes time for this to correct.

Beaches have never been permanent, however, and our time frame is just too short to fully appreciate that, nor long enough to tolerate the cycles.Kinda like so called man-made climate change.

Comment Re: I love working with recruiters.... (Score 1) 253

Since recruiters are the gatekeepers and explorers of the job market, developing a good relationship with them is beneficial for you and they.

I've got a couple of recruiters that I stay in touch with,despite being in my current position for 87+ years. They appreciate my quick 'not available', no wasting time, and I appreciate their continued interest. So far they haven't hit me for anything interesting enough to move, but they also know my current salary requirements, and don't waste my time either.

If you don't treat your recruiter right, they won't treat you right. If they are scumbags, you're not changing that.

Comment Watch? Watch what? (Score 1) 415

I haven't worn a watch for a few years, and nothing out there makes me want to.

Battery life alone is a detractor. I could consider a more than one day life watch, and a cradle to charge it, with an option on the fly, but we go on to reason two:

Nothing in smartwatches is showing me a killer feature. Even fitness is half a loaf, since Google Fit is worth a try and the price is right...

A phone on my wrist is not very attractive to me. That small a screen for text previews, not so much. An alarm clock? Got that. Calendar? No advantage.

I am clearly not in the target market.
