@Nic can I edit the post so I don't look like such a noob

Yup, you should be able to edit and fix the URL.

Welcome Matt! For embedding videos, you have to take all the cruft off the end of the URL or it doesn't work.

I'm in!

@JoeFriedman doing good, enjoying Colorado. You'll have to come visit!

@scottalanmiller Where's Tubbs?

I'll be interested to try it out. I was skeptical at first, but after some reviews from people I was more intrigued.

@Rivitir welcome James!

@KatieUnitrends oh yeah, forgot about CarTalk. I'm sad that it has ended, but there is so much of the back catalog to listen to.

@JoeFriedman What's up Joe, how's life?

Translation: The US is pretending to give up control of the Internet by hand picking a bunch of people who'll do everything the US wants. Just like the UN where the US has complete veto power and can strong-arm with their mighty war machine that is 10 times larger than the rest of the world put together.

Employees are often forced to reveal what they make. It's often enough that any modesty around that tends to wear off.

Well, you might reveal it to a recruiter, but you don't discuss it at cocktail parties or with coworkers (for the most part). Anyway, not defending the practice, just acknowledging that's the way the world works

@JaredBusch I agree, and we do have open pricing on our website. But there is also an opportunity for deals and discounts, depending on the size and strategic importance of the deal. So if you're in a position to negotiate for a better deal there is that opportunity, but that is usually predicated on not disclosing the terms. By the time the negotiations reach the "in writing" stage there are usually clauses about not disclosing the info. Similar to negotiating for salary - do you go out and tell the whole world how much you make?

@Aaron-Studer doesn't look like it, sorry They probably wouldn't have a sales convo that way anyway (nor would anyone, since they'd probably not want to put negotiations down in writing).

@Aaron-Studer you could see if our sales guys will price match

My commute is so short I hardly have time to listen to anything. One podcast lasts me the whole week I'm only 2.5 miles from the office and it takes me 5 minutes.

Is it safe to bike into your office, Nic? That'd give you some podcast listening time.

Yeah, I'll probably do that once the weather warms up a bit.

By accident. Got out of college and didn't know what to do next. so ended up in a job in IT.

You could always do barter - like your price for an hour of tech support is gonna be a case of beer. That straddles the line between friendly favor and business transaction.

Other ones I love are This American Life and RadioLab.

True, never hurts to check!
