I worked on a lot of large projects projects. Large means tens of developers and millions of lines of code and also hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per hour if something goes terribly wrong. I just can't imagine stuff done

The issue isn't about access to the code (which is not threatened at all). The issue is about community enjoying access to the project name and domain name.

Right to the source code is a completely separate issue from rights to the project name and domain name. You can guarantee decentralised access to the source code but you can't guarantee the same for the name and domain.

IMO it is just wasted effort. I applaud the person for trying to do right but unfortunately it will not achieve anything. For corruption to decrease you need government that is actively working to this end. Except Indian government is corru

You have a choice. Try to do business in India and pay bribes or move your business elsewhere. There are countries of which India is one of them where you can't do any serious business without paying bribes. Serious business is anythin

How is trying to build right habits trying to blame external source? It literally starts with observation that current habits are wrong and need to change.

Exercise is key. The problem is people expect exercise to directly burn your fat which is completely false and broken way to look at it. Then what happens when they don't see results is they proclaim it does not work and drop exercisin

That was a long time ago. I lost most of it about decade ago and turned most of the rest into muscle. Running daily. Don't count calories. Read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Mini-Habits-Weight-Loss-Suffering/dp

Well, not necessarily true. Your body is not composed of 100% fat. Actually it is composed mostly of water and when you gain 4g of mass most of this gain is from water, too. I unfortunately can't tell you how efficient body is at diges

I have slowly gained 30kgs over 20 years. That's 1.5kg a year, or about 4g per day. 4g per day is almost insignificant amount and yet it is enough to make you fat over long periods of time. I challenge anybody to accurately measure the

You are doing it wrong. What they really wanted from you was a bribe, not a stack of papers. Nobody will ever openly admit they want a bribe. They will just drown you in bureaucracy until you get the idea.

You know what they used to call people who would not do something unless they were greeted with red carpet? A diva. If you join the company, there will be a lot of things that will not work perfectly and yet you will be asked to do things a

You are getting paid for work done. Complaining that you actually have to do your end of the contract is just stupid and is why the job market is so broken. Remember, those hiring managers and HR are the same people as you -- got the payche

As an advisor for startup CEOs who also worked for a lot of large known brands, I fully agree. Even just a tiny bit of effort in the application process does miracles to filter out people who do not really want to work for your company. Bec

This is actually excellent/impressive estimate. Remember, for this to be usable you need to start sending it out BEFORE the actual earthquake ends at the place when it is first detected.

That's like super naive. First, you mentioned it. "It has sure been profitable". That's kinda the whole point. You get more profits, you use those profits for R&D to further distance yourself from the competition. If

Kinda depends on what you do and where you do it. Unfortunately, most middle management in most companies stopped caring, hide behind processes and would like to treat employees as commodity. And most upper management are either powerless o

I think the basic problem with the claims that good missile defence would be destabilising is advent of rogue countries that have access to long range ballistic missiles and to nuclear weapons. I simply can't understand how anybody cou

I am not a physicist, but I think it is not. It seems they can account for mass in various places in universe, they can model how things should be moving (being affected by gravity), they can measure how things are actually moving and from

It is epicycles all over again. I think modifying gravity might be useful. Probably people who were slapping more terms to epicycles knew what they were doing is wrong but did it anyway because it allowed them to predict what they needed.

Hire enough people to work around dangerous things and you will get accidents. The question really is whether the company is reasonably trying to prevent unnecessary risks and react with changes when accidents happen.

SpaceX is a for profit organisation. You might find it hard to believe, but having select few design equipment and processes that will then be used by much less skilled and paid workers is how most production companies work. Now, I don&#x27
