I'd be quite interested to hear the Radix Projects governance plans to prevent a future single point of failure again. Not being able to contact the bill payer on the last project isn't helplessness, it's a failure of the cre

Or rather the person who is responsible should go before those who are not and have been doing their job. If a middle manager was responsible for a bad decision, their head would be on a spike. But it's the chief executive officer, so

Literal wrongthink. What is ideology but looking at the world or a problem through a certain personal experience context. If this is what flies, CNN are guilty of malinformation daily, through their use of editorialising, never mind more fr

Stepping back from whether this ends in a lawsuit etc. But why would smart people looking to earn a living work for Musk after this? He'll fire you for cause just because he doesn't like you or didn't let him win. That's

yeah, but they pivoted to ground-station based software instead of true in flight services and got bought for their ground component piece of the equation. The business plan as originally that entailed didn't work out. Just too early t

It's not good enough to just send something up and have at it as a customer. Any High school with enough money for an off the shelf kit can do that, snap a picture and write home for the bragging rights. But due to the constraints of e

Which is why I doubt Caspian Report. Anytime he ventures into Western Europe it's either so high level it's basically meaningless (Brexit will change relationships with EU members? You don't say!) or just way off base. Eg. Fo

Hi there, I fit your bill. Not interested though because after 9 years of sensor experience software just pays triple my best pay in those years with easier deliverables. Never again.

We've seen it with social media and content moderation. It's just a little ahead of the game because more people means entities come to the conclusion faster. Content hosts have hosting rules. Don't like updated rules? Move t

And if yes, what happens if I replace the word "model" with "employee"? Suddenly the context changes?

I'd suggest reading their terms of service and licensing model. They changed it on their 2.0 version and it stopped being right for a lot of use cases, either for financial, privacy or legal reasons. Make sure it fits for yourself also

Short answer, yes. Long answer, you'll need to really jack up the power consumption. Replicating a thing that in itself an energy source needs waaaay more than just a 60W light bulb.

Just because HN is a fun free zone, some evidently believe the rest of the world has to be also. The only way I can understand some of the reactions in this thread is that many are holding a belief the only reason to use Github is your anon

I also think of API ergonomics. Unspecified input with the same single endpoint, while under the hood will be absolute spaghetti, from a developer adoption standpoint can be make or break. And if you're strongly typing your system rath

It's also missing Z-tape. Double sided sticky tape that only electrically conducts in the z-axis. Great for where you would traditionally solder a component to a PCB but you don't want it to be a permanent fixture. https:/&#

People have jobs and lives. The only people this gets are unemployed and self employed people who have nothing to lose or the time to spare. This strategy poaches nobody of worth with an ounce of self respect.

Russia already announced they are doing so for any company that shuts down operations (even temporarily) in Russia that have 25% or more foreign control last week. This talk now is in response to Russia acting in that manner first.
