Red Hat's money comes from support subscriptions, which are all provided by paid employees. Red Hat doesn't use volunteers to provide support to customers. Volunteer work is done at many levels (linux kernel, GNU libs, GNOME, Fedora, etc.) but Red Hat does not make money from those projects directly (no more than any other company would/could). In fact Red Hat employs people to just work on those projects, and gives all the output to the community for free to benefit everyone.

He's comparing it using your own logic. The "fault" you found was that the design itself was fault. He showed that the inherent design of both the Boeing 747 and Starship both have that same "fault" regardless of how far along they are in proving flight-worthiness.

Of course Starship has a lot of work to do, but your argument that because it lacks fin redundancy it has a faulty design is invalid.

I don't do freelance work myself, but based on how software development is done in most software companies I've worked for. Do you not have open tickets that need to be done by freelancers? Or are you simply looking for freelancers to do entire projects on their own?

Most of the software development I do is done based on open tickets that people can pick up and comment on if things are unclear. The same goes for when we hire a freelancer, we have open tickets that can be picked up and completed, once completed they submit a merge request and we go on from that.

That is not to say you can't have a (video)chat, but it shouldn't really be needed for the actual development part of the job. We only have a call/meetup if we expect to be working with them for a longer period of time, or when we haven't worked with them before.

If you were looking to do a videochat with me when you have only a few hours of work for me I don't think I would be open to that either.
To not make a snippy comment about the media treatment about it because that would be tiring, I'd like to instead draw an imperfect parallel to narcopolitics in Latin America. Kingpins from El Chapo to Escobar were notorious for getting away with just about anything, the former for his tunnel and the latter for actually dropping bombs. For a lot of folks on the other side of the border, perhaps they thought it was something that could never happen here.

But, I think what I see there, what I see here just tend to reinforce something that I believe is vindicated by the rest of history -- politics can be very dirty, and to prematurely label something a conspiracy theory can get in the way of seeing the reality of what happens on the ground. There's a difference between labeling something a conspiracy theory because it feels unthinkable and labeling something a conspiracy theory because it's a stretch to imagine it logistically possible. I have a hope that somehow we can get to a reality where that's not the case, but it's hard to reconcile that with seeing these things happen again and again.

How strong is a democracy? What is the price of freedom and liberty, and how resistant are any of the world's well-resourced democracies to this sort of high-level corruption? Were they ever resistant to it?

El Chapo broke out of Mexican prisons where his ability to influence guards/staff is much greater than a US prison. Also, being able to prevent someone from breaking out and preventing someone from killing themselves seem like two different classes of problems. Being good enough to prevent one doesn't necessarily imply being good enough to prevent the other.
Sort of. These things all have limits. People with negative equity cannot easily sell up. People close to negative equity will have a bit of a hard time.

Say I owe $400K on a $1M home, and I want a $1.5M home. I sell my home to make a 600K downpayment and have to borrow 900K in order to buy that new place.

Let's say all property decreases by half. My home is now 500K, the one I want is now 750K.

I sell up and have a 100K (13%) downpayment and have to borrow 650K to cover the rest.

My LTV has risen considerably, and if the market continues to fall, I might be stuck with negative equity, but I still owe less than I would at the higher prices.

Lenders might be less likely to lend in that scenario, but there will be a sweet spot somewhere where the price drop corresponds to something sufficiently below the majority of movers' LTVs to be beneficial for homebuyers in general.

Just a nitpick: there is no "oil" in vape liquid. That would be very bad.

It's typically nicotine, VG/PG (essentially glycerines like you'd use in a fog machine, but medical/food grade), and often a small amount of food flavoring concentrate suspended in the same VG or PG base.

I quit smoking with this stuff and eventually dropped off the nicotine. I made my own liquid because I could source the ingredients myself, control how much nicotine I used, and knew exactly what I was puffing on...something I couldn't say when I still smoked.

Show HN: askgoose – a search engine for your online wingman needs
https://askgoose.com/ is a search-engine that lets you search through a public repository of text-based images . You can search for something like "the office" or "trebuchet memes" and get results across millions of images where these phrases were used.
What we do differently than our competitors is provide rich snippets of the text within images. We believe this massively improves the image search experience as users don't have to sit and read through hundreds of text filled images to find what they are looking for. We also benefit from being a niche search-engine that lets us make strong assumptions about the data we index thereby allowing us to cater to the needs of our users more efficiently.

As of now we index data primarily from the r/tinder subreddit, but we are working on incorporating content from other meme based subs and to provide specific functionality for each of them.

One point I try to get across to people working on the web is that they should think of HTML as a render target, not as a layout tool.

The point of HTML isn't to make it easy to lay out a document, it's to have an easily understandable pure-text representation of hierarchical data that can be read by computers/users. Light, well-formatted, semantic HTML isn't an engineering concern, it's a UX concern.

Of course HTML can be used as a layout tool, but that's not its primarily purpose, otherwise it would include decent 2-way data bindings for tables.

Safety/redundancy of rockets (including SpaceX's) compared to airliners is abysmal—about five orders of magnitude worse.

With passenger manifests in the hundreds (necessary for the economics to work), and with any failure being catastrophic, you'll be seeing multiple Tenerife disasters [1] per year.

You also can't launch a rocket (especially one that big) anywhere near a major city for sound and safety reasons, which means at best you are building an offshore spaceport, which is terrible for the logistics and economics. But that's still nothing compared to the safety problem.

Most of the rest of the developed world has the national tax agency compute the tax filing for you based your family ages, employer-filed work income and financial institution income.

The annoying thing is that the U. S. does this, too. They just wait until the numbers don't match before they tell you what their number is. Hey, why don't you tell me that number up front and save us a lot of trouble? Because I just paid several thousands dollars recently because our numbers didn't match up. The IRS already knew, "here's your bill". A lot of back-and-forth could have been saved if the IRS said up front before I filed, "here's what we've got, just to give you a ballpark figure to work with and let you know if we're lining up, or have a problem."

Please don’t be intellectually dishonest. Murder in Spain is 10 to 15 years but they have been condemned by more than one crime, and that adds up, so you are comparing apples to oranges. One of them is sedition, the other one is akin to embezzlement (they used public funds for pursuing their agenda outside of their public mandate).

Also the sentencing was not the harshest by far: rebellion was dropped, state attorney demanded up to 25 years, and “acusación particular” (VOX) was asking to up to 74 years.

I make about $50-$70/month from Adsense on my blog. I use a single Auto ad unit in the middle of each article. It would be nice if it were more. They payout every couple of months when the balance gets over $100. When they payout I get a 'report' that tells me they reduced my payout because of 'invalid traffic' (with no details about what/how/when). This deduction varies from about 5-20% of the payout.
The question I have is what if any lessons can be taken from Oulo's experience and applied to places like Lordestown, OH (losing their GM plant).

On the surface, a big difference seems to be that the current talent pool of Oulo is R&D heavy, vs the assembly labor heavy Rust Belt cities and towns.

The workers of Oulo, despite their initial misfortune and pessimism, faced a growing market for their skills - the government just needed to facilitate their transition to a new set of employers and ventures.

Does such a market exist for Rust Belt assembly workers? Probably not making the same things they made before - the auto industry is in major turmoil as it transitions to a structurally different transportation future.

I'd love to see a future where the collection of assembly skills those workers have are put to use to build the wind turbines and batteries that we desperately need, but it seems like there are both cultural and political hurdles in the way of that happening.

> How come so many people try to use code to show how smart they are?

It's tricky, isn't it? The original quote was about "clever code" versus "maintainable code", but they are not orthogonal: it's possible to write code that's more maintainable (because it's harder to use incorrectly) at the cost of being more clever (because you need to learn more of the language or standard library to understand it). One person's "more maintainable" is going to be another person's "too clever" — you're going to get a bunch of different opinions on where the line lies. Not everybody is trying to show off their brains.

I did. And as I noted - changing lifestyle to support a niche case to not include AC (so you can use solar off the grid) is not always possible, let alone reasonable to ask.

Ask yourself, which is more reasonable - a couple thousand dollars (or tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars) for an off-grid capable solar setup or a gas generator to account for the dozen or so days of inconvenience? Several cities in the north east suffered almost a month without power (in a much harsher season), and most of their solutions involved purchasing a small gas generator and moving on with their lives.

It's much more likely that the response will be political. PG&E out and install a better caretaker.
