What's the work involved in these jobs?

If it's being done remotely it can't be any physical maintenance as that'd require being on site.
Its bandwidth efficiency, latency, and jitter, actually.

Just like in the old days of 9600 baud leased lines it was hard to get acceptable console performance, and now people have megabit connections and CLI performance is not unusually constrained over the megabit connections. Of course its only using a fraction of 1% of the capacity.

Also remember that end users might have megs of bandwidth to carry K of voice traffic, but somewhere along the line there's someone constrained. Just like work offices don't have to be dumps, but its hard to put a beancounter $ value on not working in a dump, leads to a lot of open office foolishness.

Are the 1 in 3 good calls pretty random, or do they tend to be with the same counterparts? Do you notice a difference between the quality of your calls into conferences (if on the same platform) and direct calls with colleagues?

WiFi can be a source of the problem even within the corporate network if the access points weren't designed for VoIP.

How many square feet was the house? I don't know if that's compatible to heating a McMansion though.

I just did the math with my past bills and, amortized, I spend about $200 total on utilities a month. That's water, electricity, and oil. I have no special upgrades to my house. It gets fairly cold here. I have the aforementioned 2000 square foot (which I consider big) 75 year old house. I keep the heat on 68 when we are home. It gets hot in the summer and we use window air units.
And when driving, they are downright dangerous.

Many are tempted to say "then don't operate the touchscreen when driving". But if e.g. air conditioning is controlled via touchscreen, you have little choice in case the windscreen becomes fogged while in traffic.

Old fashioned PSTN lines would secure the full bandwidth needed end-to-end when the original call was established (which was really in efficient from a data utilization perspective).

With VoIP you are:

1. Beholden to the bandwidth/latency issues of the crappiest link in your end-to-end path.

2. Intentional use of poorer quality codecs (by your ISP and/or VoIP software to reduce aggregate bandwidth use). Ironically this can be inverted, there are codecs that sound much better than PSTN calls (but use more bandwidth).
I could potentially see technology like this being useful even for people without vision issues. The ability to read information from a display without needing to glance down at the watch would be great.

There are decompilers and disassemblers for pretty much every compiled language, and WebAssembly will be no different. The gains in performance, security, and flexibility for the masses greatly offsets any increased effort in the tiny percentage of people who want to view the source.

Most likely these tools will just be built-in, the same way http/2 doesn't have a text-based protocol but you don't notice anything different when using devtools to see network requests.

The only thing that could make VoIP voice quality as consistent as PSTN is a consistent application of QoS.

And that is why I have very mixed feelings about Net Neutrality. Sure, I don't think that Verizon should be allowed to penalize NetFlix or $randomVideoStartup by favoring its video traffic over theirs, but there is no technical way for voice to be consistently good without a consistent handling of its data traffic.
Look into WebDAV and you'll find plenty :) LOCK, UNLOCK, COPY, MOVE, MKCOL, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH. And also REPORT, SEARCH, and various version-control operations.
Both ends need to support wideband codecs, as does your phone (hard or soft phone). This includes the VOIP providers needing to be able to use wideband codecs between each other.

If you achieve a wideband setup the call quality is amazing. I've used it for years. It really sucks when you have to call someone on a legacy POTS line or using a narrow band codec (bad voip, cell phones, etc)

On that note it's unfortunate that cell phones which can do wideband codecs within the same carrier (HD Voice!) won't work if your call leaves their network.
Right, but the old clients that don't support Host Certificates will just keep using the Host Keys that they always have, and prior confirmation or TOFU or whatnot. It can be of great benefit to the new clients at the same time, though -- because you need to put the hostkey and the certificate side-by-side on the sshd.

Clients that have a CA known_hosts(5) entry for a given name (or a mask that matches the name they're connecting to) will prefer host certificates over host keys and attempt to verify them that way if the server presents one, but if that fails they'll still fall back to regular host key validation (unless you explicitly set the HostKeyAlgorithms directive to eliminate non-certificate-based ones).

It's the best of all worlds, in my opinion.
That's such a broad definition of "tentacle" it's meaningless. We all know what "tentacle" means in this context, and it's not satisfied just by being a government contractor or provider.
JS provided that already without WebAssembly, no?
How are games and voice software targeted at gaming managing to make things so much more clear?

If it's a network issue, it's likely unsalvageable because the network is just crap. We need to be using whatever those are using. It is usually crystal clear and people are easily understandable even during large gatherings (EVE Online battles).

I'm the same as the OP, and what's worse, people talk 20 feet from the cisco conference phones (because those are everywhere) and it makes everything sound completely terrible. I don't listen half the time. That is definitely a microphone issue.

A teenage friend of mine had a pickup truck that had two tanks connected to the two filler caps, which was interesting, almost aircraft like.

We're talking about a 70s beater pickup truck modified as only a 80s/90s teenager has spare time to modify, so I have no idea if this was normal for construction grade trucks or not.

The theory is he could operate his gas powered generator/welder or gas powered air compressor off one tank at a job site, and even if he ran it dry he could drive home on the other tank. There was also some manner of fuel transfer pump(s).

Many lower-middle-class Americans look down on the poor because they see themselves on equal footing, and believe that "If I can work two jobs and make ends meet, so could s/he if s/he had the work ethic."

Chrome has a baked-in plugin for Hangouts. They used to have you install a plugin for Firefox, but since Firefox has removed NPAPI in version 52 it no longer works. Supposedly they are working on a standards-based solution.

The only concerns I would have is I believe you have to debug the javascript rather than the typescript.
It really depends on which codec you're using. We had an implementation of G.711, which is not bad, but far from great. However, the license costs for implementing G.729 were so outrageous that my previous company simply couldn't afford it (or wouldn't). G.729 offers better call quality for the same bitrate, or similar call quality for much lower bitrate. Typically, G.711 would use ~64Kbps, whereas G.729 can achieve the same call quality for ~8Kbps (there's also a variable encoding that scales between 8 and 32Kbps). This being said, G.729 also requires a lot more CPU processing power.

If I'm not mistaken, each party of each leg of a call needs a license, which means that for a typical call centre with an IVR server between the agent and the customer, you need:

Summary:

- PSTN converter to IVR: 2 licenses / per customer

- IVR to agent: 2 licenses / per agent

- IVR to supervisor: 2 licenses / per supervisor.

It's pretty normal to see 300-agent call centres, and you typically want at least 300-900 calls waiting. Let's say there's between 10 and 30 supervisors.

300 * 2 + 900 * 2 + 30 * 2 = 2460 licenses. At $6-10 per license, that's more expensive than most hardware PBX solutions alone!

For IVR companies that handle multiple hundreds of thousands of calls per day, it's not really worth it.

Lots of good answers, but there is another one that's important too: echo cancellation. Most telco equipment has very good echo cancellation hardware in it. It's not impossible to do a decent job in VOIP, but not all of the software does it well. This can be very important when you have high latencies or if you are doing conference calls.

The other main overlooked problem is automatic gain control in software. This one drives me crazy. Most people are too lazy/clueless to set the gain properly on their microphone, so VOIP client makers tend to use automatic gain control to adjust the input. However, it works very differently that what you are used to in a telephone. If someone laughs loudly, or coughs you end up losing the beginning of the next sentence. It can work extremely badly in conjunction with echo cancellation depending on the software -- to the point where the audio can be very difficult to understand.

It's probably my biggest gripe with Google Hangouts because there is no consistent way to shut of AGC on all platforms.

I've written VOIP clients before and it is possible to have incredibly good audio (much better than normal PSTN -- mainly because the codecs are better). But it's very tricky to get it to work on random hardware, with random network conditions and with users who don't want to configure their client optimally.
Shifters with the various "reverse lockout features".

We have several VoIP lines on several locations. The quality is actually great. If you want guaranteed quality, use a dedicated voice VLAN or some sort of QoS.

Even in places where we don't have this in place, it seems to be working just fine for us. I can also say that I've used Skype to a PSTN in a separate continent over a slow mobile link and it also worked.

However: I have to mention that the quality is never quite as good as normal Skype (so called "HD" quality).

The problem persists with which side of the electric car gets the SAE J1772 receptacle? Of course because the only think more fun than one standard, is two standards, and that increments inductively, so universal charging stations are not only going to have cable side problems, but they're going to have a lot of cables to choose from.

There is a UI problem for EV in that we're culturally programmed to get our energy from 80s style chrome and plastic R2D2 sized monoliths that plug into the side of our vehicles, whereas technologically theres no reason an overhead retractable cord or ground mounted cord couldn't work as well or better.
It seems random to me, but of course when I'm in User-mode I'm probably quite a poor observer.

I'm not a power user of VOIP, but these are my common scenarios:

1. At home, Skype and Google Hangouts. Hardware setup as above. 240 Mbps connection. Making calls to family abroad. This is the 1 in 3 scenario - we just keep trying till we get a connection that seems to work. Usually the call ends whenever the line finally "goes bad".

2. At work: Skype, Hangouts, Upwork. Mostly one to one calls with potential hires, colleagues, outsource people etc. WiFi. About a 20Mbps connection. Actually now I write it down Upwork is the best - which is weird because in general their systems suck. But Skype and Hangouts are both a consistent source of pain, dropped calls, bad quality, sudden total loss of audio etc...

3. At work: Company phones. Generally the quality is OK when calling out to landlines and mobiles (cell), but I have colleagues who I know are on VOIP at other end and these calls are like 1 in 2 where we just give up.

4. On mobile (4G): Viber, WhatsApp, Skype. Generally I'll call. Within a few seconds we'll be talking like people in a disco and I give up and call back on regular phone.

I also observe colleagues doing a lot of: "can you repeat that", "sorry repeat that" when they're using Skype at the office. Even hearing that contributes to my sense of VOIP-malaise.

Lots of wifis, corporate especially block all UDP traffic. Sometimes they even block all non http/https traffic. Apps like Skype or Biocoded will find a way to route the call, but that can sometimes mean it has to go over https!
