[12:26] <rick_h_> dammit https://twitter.com/mitechie/status/984044809408122880
[12:29] <Scary_Guy> Starbucks sucks anyway :P  what happened specifically though?
[12:29] <rick_h_> the image there, now to get wifi you have to give info and agree to marketing emails
[12:29] <Scary_Guy> oh, didn't see that
[12:29] <rick_h_> and I've fallen out of the habit of bringing my mifi as backup, oh well. Phone hotspot it is
[12:30] <rick_h_> yea, one button "I agree" to get whatever you want to send me...
[12:30] <rick_h_> booooo
[12:30] <Scary_Guy> or cantenna :p
[12:30] <Scary_Guy> I'm less worried about spam and more worried about monitoring of traffic, unless you have a VPN
[12:32] <Scary_Guy> anyway brb, I need to restart
[13:27] <jrwren> xfinitywifi?
[13:27] <jrwren> its everywhere in Ann Arbor, rather nice if you are a comcast customer.
[13:28]  * rick_h_ isn't a comcast customer
[13:28] <rick_h_> well, I'm a comcast business I guess
[13:28] <rick_h_> I'll just use my cell data, fast enough for this work and I've got no problems paying for my use.
[13:29] <rick_h_> I'm just not signing up to get spammed and such
[13:45] <jrwren> is comcast business not xfinity? you have a comcast account, right? you can probably use xfinity wifi
[13:51] <rick_h_> no, I've got a comcastbusiness account. It's a different set
[13:55] <jrwren> dang
[13:56] <jrwren> good to know. i've considered getting one for hosting servers at home. I guess I won't.
[13:58] <rick_h_> Yea, it was funny because one day the xfinity sales guy came by to tell me about how the neighborhood got a speed upgrade and I had left them long ago and they wanted me back
[13:58] <rick_h_> "umm, I am a comcast customer...I've been back with you for a couple of years"
[13:58] <rick_h_> but because I'm a business customer it's a different system
[13:59] <jrwren> ha!
[14:08] <Scary_Guy> I'd rather use dialup than them honestly.  horrible company
[14:08] <Scary_Guy> I guess it's good if you have no other options, although I guess not having internet is always an option too
[14:09] <rick_h_> Yea, the big thing is that doing video/photos/etc end of the day I need upload bandwidth
[14:09] <rick_h_> still can't get as much as I want and pay through the nose
[14:09] <rick_h_> first company to give me 50/50 either way wins my $$
[14:10] <Scary_Guy> anyway, nap time, bbl
[17:34] <cmaloney> This is kind of strange: https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/173294/software-engineering-manager-100k-yr-crossover
[17:39] <rick_h_> yea, saw that
[17:40] <rick_h_> Curious about an eng mgr position being a coding contest thing...has the smell of "free work" to it but maybe not.
[17:47] <cmaloney> The company that they're hiring for seems like a managerial trainwreck according to Glassdoor
[17:48] <rick_h_> hah, well that's why they're hiring managers :P
[17:50] <cmaloney> With a coding challenge. ;)
[18:02] <brousch> To be a manager, you have to be the best coder?
[18:03] <cmaloney> sounds like they're more interested in the game than the results
[18:04] <rick_h_> yep, then you hire a bunch of coders better than you as the manager and win!
[18:04] <cmaloney> Then your prefecture gets to eat
[18:04] <cmaloney> or something
[21:35] <Scary_Guy> They hire security staff using a pit and some lions
