There's a big difference in this case between a position of authority and an authoritarian leader. Typically most people would regard good leaders as people you follow because they inspire confidence, you feel like you can trust them,

As someone who has used a lot of shell over my career, I do love it as a utility and a programming paradigm. However the biggest issues I've had is that the code is really hard to test, error handling in shell isn't robust, and re

Right, which is why you can't do this without impartial arbitration. Essentially each transaction that is "refundable" is an implied contract between parties and it should be verifiable. Such as in the case of a car sale it

I think the issue is that without regulations forcing banks to serve customers better, they will simply abandon all responsibility completely because it's cheaper for them. And since we see that with Zelle, banks will collude to all h

The thing is, I think we are just in a time of social rediscovery. Everything seems chaotic because there were a lot of repressed people in society who are just now finding the freedom not to hide themselves. Nobody really knows what it me

I like to say that when you try to make a "schemaless" database, you've just made 1000 different schemas instead.

This seems like a popular management style at big tech companies. I've seen exactly this kind of behavior at MS too. It's a kind of "pacifist management". Just agree with everything and everyone so you're not seen

Maybe wealth gap isn't exactly what I should have highlighted. Instead we could say it shows the power corporations have to buy our basic rights away from us for a pittance.

I think the problem is that 40k is a lot of money to the average worker AND it's virtually nothing to the company. It highlights just how out of control the wealth gap is becoming.

That's kind of my point though. SpaceX isn't claiming that Starship is boring old reliable 60's technology. He's promising a rocket with huge leaps in capability. It's a lot to ask to do all these new things and

by gtowey 4y ago
It's just my opinion, but I don't think Starship will ever reach the moon. The leap in difficulty from Falcon to Starship is too big for SpaceX. It's like the promise of fully autonomous Teslas. Musk will never deliver.

I would consider that well worth the price for not having to deal with human waste transport issues! And that's because I have actually done that work myself a few times. But yes, I know not all plumbing issues are waste related.

You can pretty much read a list of company values to find out exactly the things they do only for show. The companies I've worked for have always ignored any stated values as soon as it costs them money or gets in the way of making mon

It feels that way because the credit card companies have never really cared about merchants. Thier customers are the cardholders. They create demand for convenience and therefore the merchants are unwilling hostages to the credit card compa

I think he's trying to say that while superficially a house may appear much the same as in the 80's, anyone who has hands on building experience would immediately recognize the difference in materials and construction techniques.
