Could also be related to audio transmission, like bluetooth versus wired.

Also, fiber can be analog, too.

It is not like it is a P2P mesh network.

Land leases are expensive for tower placement, and they need electricity and a backup generator, to power the comm. equipment and the air conditioning.

And then we can talk about HVAC maintenance.

Not to mention the NBA, too.

So, it is not okay to discriminate by age at a public square?

But, why would Tinder control a public square?

I keep a certain amount of icepacks in the freezer, in case the power goes put, but also because the thermostat seems to swing a bit.

Does it not depend on what is in the freezer?

Like, if it is half-filled with icepacks versus frozen beef?

List them here and I am sure you will get some idea feedback.

If they have some downtime, but I do not explicitly block time.

If they spent 3 days on the PDF during work, I would have a talk.

Fortunately for the rest if the world, this is a very US problem.

For citizens of the US, it sucks.

I am a bit rogue, and buy PDF books for my team on trendy tech, some applicable to their day to day, but mostly what is trendy in job postings.

I don’t try to hold them back.

I was also able to send a team member to SF earlier this year for a week to a ML bootcamp.

And last year, I got a few members from multiple teams to attend a 3 day state security con.

Beyond that, I do try to be a mentor, and try to engage by answering why we do what we do and the historical context of how we got there.

I guess I also have some informal documents that are part of a curriculum, but there is no official single source of truth.
