| Topic | Have you ever had a job interview that went terribly? |
| CableZL 01/01/20 8:43:37 AM #11 | XBoner posted... how long do you need to go to school for that? You don't need to go to school for it. You have to study and pass an exam or two. With the exams I took: 1) CCENT (Certified Entry Networking Technican)
I also got a Cisco Meraki certification somewhere in the middle of all that because my job sent me to their official training class. --- |

| Topic | Have you ever had a job interview that went terribly? |
| CableZL 01/01/20 8:31:47 AM #6 | Yeah. I bombed my first interview for a networking related job. I had done ISP tech support for about 3.5 years and thought I was ready to jump into the networking world. Question 1: How many usable IP addresses do you get with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252? My answer: 1
My answer: No There were no more technical questions after that. I could tell I wasn't getting the job. After the interview was over, I sat in my car for about an hour outside the building and I was incredibly angry at myself for doing so poorly in the interview. Years later I got my CCNA and went back and interviewed at that same company. I knocked the interview out of the park, but told them I didn't want the job. I just wanted to see how well I would do at that point. --- |

| Topic | Judge Orders Alex Jones and Infowars to Pay $100,000 in Sandy Hook Legal Fees |
| CableZL 12/31/19 7:02:40 AM #1 | https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/31/us/Alex-Jones-sandy-hook.html A Texas judge has ordered the Infowars founder Alex Jones to pay $100,000 in legal fees in a defamation case brought against him by the father of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim, the latest court setback for the conspiracy theorist. In a Dec. 20 ruling, Judge Scott Jenkins of Travis County District Court said that Mr. Jones and his lawyer intentionally disregarded an October court order to produce witnesses and other materials to the plaintiff in the lawsuit, Neil Heslin. Judge Jenkins said the defenses failure to cooperate should be treated as contempt of court. In two separate orders issued the same day, the judge told Mr. Jones to pay $65,825 and $34,323 in lawyer fees incurred by Mr. Heslin. He also denied Mr. Joness motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which argues that Mr. Jones and Infowars defamed Mr. Heslin by calling his account of his sons death a lie. They're apparently expecting the actual trial to be scheduled by the end of 2020. Can't wait to see how that plays out. --- |

| Topic | One of the most surprising things for me about my weight loss... |
| CableZL 12/28/19 6:15:03 PM #1 | Is how much smaller my hands and feet are. Since my junior year of high school, I had been wearing size 13 shoes. I tried on some size 12 Timberland boots a couple months before I got serious about losing weight and they were way too tight. I started to notice my size 13 boots felt way too big early this year. At some point, I went to get some new shoes for workouts... I tried on the size 13s with confidence that they would fit well and they didn't feel right. I used the foot measuring tool and it said I was supposed to wear a size 12. I thought "There's no way that's right." I tried on a size 12 and it fit perfectly. When I started working out, I used size extra large gym gloves and I just recently went down to medium size gloves. --- |

| Topic | 5G is gonna make weather forecasts worse |
| CableZL 12/26/19 3:06:00 PM #30 | PatrickMahomes posted... Honestly weather forecasts further than 24 hous out have almost always been a crapshoot, and 5G isn't exactly going to be extending out into the ocean fo huricane predictions so that shouldn't be a huge problem eitherThis is correct as well. The higher the frequency, the less range a particular signal has. --- |
| Topic | 5G is gonna make weather forecasts worse |
| CableZL 12/26/19 3:04:33 PM #28 | For example... My old job had a sales event going on at a national high school rodeo competition in Rock Springs, WY last year. We sent them up there with a Verizon hotspot like we did with all of the other pop-up sales events the company would do around the country. When they got there and started trying to sell product during the event, they struggled to maintain a connection in order to conduct business. My job sent me out there to fix the problem. They opened the truck up for sales at 10am every day of the event. I got there at 8am to test things out and I was confused. The connection was working great for me. I did a bit of testing with bandwidth, connection stability, etc. and found no issues. I came back at 10am and saw thousands and thousands of people at the event enjoying the festivities. I walked around to other vendors and asked them how their experience was. They were all using Verizon or AT&T and struggling. The problem was that thousands and thousands of people had come to this event with Verizon/AT&T cell phone service or other providers that use Verizon/AT&T towers. People couldn't even make phone calls. There was only a single cell phone tower in the area and that thing was flooded with too much traffic. I found another regional provider called Union Wireless and figured very few people would be using their service by comparison since they only service that region. I got a hotspot from them and switched all of our equipment over to their connection and sales ran like butter. 4G is great, but it doesn't have the capacity that a lot of events demand these days. --- |

| CableZL 12/26/19 2:53:00 PM #23 | ArchiePeck posted... When I can stream live sports games in high-definition through my phone in 4G, I really can't think of any practical use I'd have on my phone for going any faster. From what I'm readying, the primary benefit will be in 5G's capacity to handle more people streaming lots of data at once. You're correct in that a single user will see a negligible benefit in going from 4G to 5G. However, think about environments where thousands and thousands of people are on their phones at the same time and trying to stream data and/or make calls. 4G slows to a crawl and can become unusable in that situation. --- |
| Topic | 5G is gonna make weather forecasts worse |
| CableZL 12/26/19 2:39:20 PM #17 | For example, you can use a loudspeaker and project the human voice over a very great distance, but it would never interfere with wifi. Wi-fi vibrates at a much higher frequency than what humans can hear and the two frequencies don't collide. This is all essentially wobbly air we're talking about. --- |
| Topic | 5G is gonna make weather forecasts worse |
| CableZL 12/26/19 2:35:59 PM #14 | Bio1590 posted... Guys they're not worried about 5G interfering with actual water vapour, they're worried about satellites not being accurate enough to always differentiate between the two because the "signal" from water vapour is extremely weak and there's enough variation in the signals that they wouldn't be able to tell with 100% certainty that a 5G signal isn't actually natural. What is the frequency width of water vapor's frequency? That's the concern here. Of course the concern is the equipment reading the frequencies, but again... If the frequency widths aren't wide enough to interfere with each other, then there is no cause for concern. It's not about the signal being "weak" or "strong." It's about whether the two frequencies will physically collide in any way. --- |
| Topic | 5G is gonna make weather forecasts worse |
| CableZL 12/26/19 1:54:58 PM #10 | So essentially, if water vapor vibrates at 23.8 GHz and the FCC auctioned off 24GHz frequencies for 5G, the frequency width of one or both would have to be very wide in order for them to interfere with one another. If, at the closest, the two frequencies are centered a whole 0.2 Ghz apart, I doubt any interference is going to happen. I'm having trouble finding confirmation of the frequency width of water vapor, though. --- |
| Topic | 5G is gonna make weather forecasts worse |
| CableZL 12/26/19 1:49:12 PM #8 | This year the FCC auctioned off 24-gigahertz radio frequencies for 5G transmissions, perilously close to the 23.8-gigahertz frequency at which water vapor molecules vibrate in the atmosphere. Weather satellites continuously monitor that subtle signal of humidity, which is an essential ingredient for accurate weather forecasts. Cellphone antennas transmitting 5G signals near that frequency could cause confusion for weather satellites, essentially pouring a firehose of misinformation into the supercomputer models of Earths atmosphere running around the clock at weather centers worldwide. So uhh... a frequency "perilously close" to the frequency that water vapor molecules vibrate at isn't the same as it being a frequency that will interfere with the frequency that water vapor molecules vibrate at. Let's use 2.4GHz wi-fi as an example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#2.4_GHz_(802.11b/g/n/ax) The channels are 22 Mhz wide, but centered 5 Mhz apart. There are overlapping frequencies that will interfere with each other (1 interferes with 2, 3, and 4, but not 6. Channel 1:
In the US, it is advised to only use channels 1, 6, and 11 because they don't interfere with each other at all and that is the most optimal channel arrangement in use in enterprise networks that have multiple APs broadcasting for a single network. Channels 1 and 5 are very close to each other, but they won't interfere with each other. So unless the 5G frequency width actually overlaps with the frequency that water vapor molecules vibrate at, it wouldn't interfere with the equipment unless the equipment we use also looks at frequencies outside of the frequency of water vapor molecules. --- |
