Too early to tell whther this solved my problem but recording for posterity anyway. In theory this will stop my Raspberry Pi from dropping off the network after it has been idle for a while.

There are quite a few problems with the reasoning that Yahoo had good reasons for their ban on remote work as described in an article by Business Insider.

1. Does VPN usage have any relationship with productivity? I see no reason to think so.
2. Did 100% of remote workers have low VPN usage or just some? Does it make sense to drive your best people away?
3. If an employee is abusing their situation as a remote worker, will that person suddenly become a superstar when chained to a desk? Are they perhaps more likely to become resentful?
4. Why not speak to managers of employees whose remote work is suspect?
5. The author does not appear to have spoken with any actual Yahoo employees. Is it so hard to find a few of the 11,500 out there?
6. I have spoken with actual Yahoo employees and they are livid.
7. US GDP per capita is rising as is the prevalence of telecommuting. Why would this correlation

Today @jdhuntington suggested writing a queuing system. This got me to thinking: What would I want in an ideal work queue? Here are some of my thoughts. I am eager to hear yours.

Key

Life without these has been difficut.

Reliable requeuing of failed jobs.

If a job craps out, don't just drop it on the floor. Keep re-trying until it succeeds. Bonus points for a configurable retry limit. Über bonus points for sending a notification when a job fails.
