But not as non-profits as they exist right now. They are as greedy as for-profit with the only difference that the profits go to execs and their business friends and not to shareholders.

I guess it depends on your equipment. 2000*50MB gets you up to 100GB. A decent 128GB card costs you from $20 up. A card that's capable of fast bursts can cost around $100.

That would get super expensive if you shoot things like airshows, birds in flight or sports where you can easily shoot 2000 images or more in one day. Or 4K video.

It's a big problem for photographers too. Especially with the rapid progress of mirrorless cameras there is always the next camera or lens you need to get. I have bought lenses and never used them. I have also spent more time on lookin

Don’t forget that writing nodejs code qualifies you to have an opinion on anything scientific.

Apple’s docs also have gone downhill since the 90s. Does anybody still make good documentation?

It would be interesting to see the NASA approach compared to how SpaceX does things. Considering that they have done manned missions they seem to have very similar requirements.

Maybe MS will release a version of Word around 2000? The latest versions are way too “smart” and constantly do confusing things.

The same thing would happen with a party that receives 20% of the vote. No representation

They have nights where you can look through the big telescope. As far as I know it's the biggest telescope that still has a viewfinder. It was fun looking at Saturn and Mars with such a big device.

The US voting system doesn't give you the Congress you vote for. We saw that with Ross Perot in the 90s. 19% of votes and zero representation.

I struggle with taking anything Gorsuch writes seriously. He seems to dream of a world where federal agencies have no power to regulate things but instead all disputes are decided by courts (or Congress needs to write laws that cover all ca

"This is, I think, the real moral hazard you saw back in the 2007 financial crisis: companies can reach a scale where it's very costly to definitively assess who is to blame for crimes and can therefor commit any profitable crime

That’s not my experience. We have systems that cost way into the six digits. You get an account manager that follows up and schedules a lot of meetings. But this doesn’t mean that difficult problems actually get resolved. Just a lot of talk

In my company it’s easier to buy commercial software for $10000 than it is to donate $100 for open source voluntarily. I think they need to open up a store where you can buy donations disguised as licenses so the bean counters don’t even re

Computers have become generally good enough to be used without much knowledge. Same happened with cars. 30 years ago it was very beneficial to know how your car works. These days you can own and a car without knowing much about it and you w

I see that a lot in the stuff our interns produce. Instead of a simple command line too they often create a node server you need to post your requests to. This may somehow have some advantages but it makes building scripts or pipelines much

That's what's so evil about these categories like "White Male", "Boomer" and others and blaming societal trends on them. Within these groups it's usually only a subsection that received the benefits they a

Totally agree. It also hard to do diagrams in a lot of document management systems so you end up with this crazy mix of Word docs and Visio diagrams. In the 90s they tried to fix this with OpenDoc and OLE but somehow that got out of fashio

The whole day broker industry needs to be made illegal. We should make it extremely tedious for companies to share data. Instead of giving broad permission on page 3876 of the TOS it should be required to get customer approval for every sh

"Serving" is the biggest vector for manipulation ever. They can make up whatever they want. I still remember looking at a small bag of potato chips that had 3 servings.

These are deeply insulting. My company sometimes sends out $10 cards for DoorDash. To actually get something I would have to add at least another $10 myself. I wonder if Uber Eats and DoorDash give these out for free to companies as promoti

And only to a very small subset of the mercenaries. Most institutions that hire COBOL or MUMPS people can't fathom paying a lowly "IT" guy that much money. They prefer to hire some cheap offshore guys.

I have heard/read of these people but people I know who work at hospitals doing MUMPS get paid very little. Same for COBOL programmers. There are some mythical people who make bank but most COBOL guys make way less than the typical JS
