   45:25 Elon says he will leave detailed technical questions to QA after his presentation. Lol. His presentation was far more technical than any of the questions. I think I would prefer more presentation from him than any QA.

   Reading this article reminds me of a story that got me on the path of Linux, open source and away from Windows career path years ago. I was starting out my IT career as a Windows tech at a company. One guy that was obviously smart, Linux li

   Ageism is a clear and present bigotry. Just like racism, sexism, and etc. And ageism was really born in Silicon Valley, of all places.

   You may not get all teary but let's remember why US has had to keep a such massive arsenal and expand so much energy globally. It was to counter Nazi Germany, Russia, and Japanese Empire. Before WW1 and WW2, US was indeed a 2nd tier na

   From what I understood, the comment was directed at hiring more engineers. Not HR, finance, ceo or cxx. The youngish engineers were commenting (maybe joking ?) that they didn't want to see engineers with gray beard...

   It's not just software companies practicing age discrimination. I heard from a friend of a friend who worked at a very well known, trendy space rocket company. He recounted youngish engineers in a meeting would comment how they don&#x2

    So true. The question is, how do you avoid that place. Only so many can become managers. Only so many can start own business and keep it running.

    I find it very ironic that a company in NYC full of 20-something (who probably identify strongly with diversity and Dems rather than GOP) insist on hiring people like themselves...

    Of the 3 Linux admins that were above me last decade or so, none are still in the industry. One went into medicine, one went into real estate, and the last I believe became a firearm instructor. None had passion for Linux or sysadmin per se

    starship mileages > Millenium Falcon mileage. Since starships are always getting blown up to rack up enough miles. Only Millenium Falcon keeps on flying and flying to rack up the miles. Ok enough jokes. I think this is a good thing. Taxi

    This is a shame. Even though some consider comments section as toxic, I actually spend more time reading in the comments section than the article itself. Often, I find out more interesting view points from comments section than the one the
