If you've hired over 20 people, and 19 of them have been bad, it just sounds like there's something wrong with your process. It also sounds like you're hiring a lot of novices, which isn't what's being discussed really.

The uni thing is not exactly a revelation. It's the same for every single field/job. Better uni, usually better worker.

All you're actually saying is that novice programmers straight from uni mildly correlate in ability with SAT scores.

Nothing surprising in that.
Their warranty is utterly ridiculous. Even the EU mandates 2+years for all consumer electronics.

I'm not expecting Next Business On Site warranty from a new company (though that would be nice...), but an option for at least 3 years is the very minimum for me.
I would hope that there are a majority of men who do think it is a problem but for whatever reason are silent on the issue. Case in point, I was not going to comment.

If they have 1600 satellites in orbit but are adding 40,000 more satellites (with more capability), then it’ll get better with 20x users, not worse. But anyway, the question was about satellite visibility, not bandwidth per user. The person I was replying to was claiming there will be fewer visible satellites as they’d be moving to different inclinations, which just isn’t feasible let alone likely.
I really like the other thread on the front page right now [1] that's very relevant but not quite the same thing, because it makes the more important point here: this Privacy Policy change (aside from the provision barring children from using it) wasn't a big deal if you actually sat down and thought about it for a second, but the reputation of the Muse Group, and through them, Audacity, has fallen due to everything they've done, and I think it'll be very very hard to fix that now. Sure, they've "fixed" the privacy policy, but others on this thread have already brought up that one of their members is threatening an expat with deportation, and let's not forget the new CLA they made for Audacity.

When people started forking Audacity over the privacy policy change I was surprised (in the "is this what it take for people to fork?" sense), but I sure hope those forks stick around and improve because I don't trust Audacity to not do stupid things again.

In practice, this is rarely a problem unless you're a cloud vendor with a DBaaS product; the most common concern there tends to be bugs that cause server crashes. But even that is fairly rare, and those platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, Alibaba, etc) generally maintain custom patch sets anyway.

As far as I can recall, the vast majority of modern MySQL CVEs have been low severity and/or require the attacker to already be in your private network.

For sake of comparison -- does Postgres backport every security patch to every major.minor tree? And aren't HA Postgres upgrades generally more difficult than MySQL ones since logical replication is less widespread in the PG landscape?

Possibly it has to do with reputation. If the GPU makers dramatically raised prices it would probably upset customers, and could hurt sales in the future, when there is more supply.
I can't remember where I read it but at one point Boeing was maintaining the entire bill of materials for one (maybe more) of their aircraft in a spreadsheet. I tried to google it but could not find the reference. I did find that Boeing actually had their own in-house spreadsheet software for a while, which was kind of interesting.

The Futur has a few online courses about typography (which I've never bought & tried), and they follow a similar pattern. They give the students some content to layout, and limit them to one font weight & size at first, progressively allowing more variation over the weeks.

He's probably refering to DPF (diesel particulate filter) deletes.
I'm pretty sure that is what just about 95% of customers at tune shops in Europe are in there for, bypassing or deleting DPF so they don't have to deal with all the costs around it. (and the annoyances of software messing with how your car drives to "renew" the DPF randomly)

I know someone that runs a tune shop in my small town and I'd say it is about 99.99% of his customers that are in for a DPF delete or bypass.

A plant that creats more biomass is not going to deplete soils. In fact it might restore soils by fixing more carbon from the atmosphere and adding more organic material in the form of roots and shoots.

The biggest problem with fertilization and why it is applied annually is that it is very mobile and washes away in the rain or breaks down or evaporates.

The "wailing and gnashing of teeth" is against updates and error checking being opt-out, or even not opt-outable at all.

Sometimes this gets mixed with observations that telemetry and auto-updates are modern-day antipatterns, encouraging bad software development practices and resulting in subpar products.

Personally, I feel that a ToS/privacy policy for Audacity would be more palatable if it explicitly limited scope of data collection to optional features of update checks and error reports.
If Microsoft would update the core VB language to be a bit more modern, I bet a lot more professional developers would descend upon it. As it stands now, it’s in limbo because you can’t use it in the web version of excel.

> Musk has said in an interview that the marginal cost of a reused Falcon 9 launch is $15 million.

Musk has said many things in interviews that have little to do with reality. Even if that number is true launch costs are more than the rocket itself. Even if we accepted the number, to make economic sense, they would have to get more value from 60 satellites than the $35M of profit they would make on each launch if they were launching commercialy.

> But the goal for starship is $2m per launch. Let's assume that is bullshit and go for $10M instead, and only 300 satellites per launch.

Prices for rockets similar to Starship are in the $150-200M range, so that is more the ballpark I expect from Starship, if it does fly. Perhaps it can go down to as low as 75-100M range, half the current cost of similar rockets! $10M is fantasy.

Not to mention, they are already being accused of breaking environmental regulations and other problems, so it wouldn't be surprising if launch costs actually go up if they are to maintain compliance.

I'm always hesitant to buy into these framings of things. It seems as a society we've become far to enamored of beleiving every single thing that can be construed as "nice business, it would be a shame if something happened to it" type extortion as that without any consideration.

The options here are believing someone when they say "I would report this but it might cause far more harm to the person than I feel comfortable being responsible for" but going into more detail than strictly required, or believing that it's all a thinly veiled threat to get them to act.

I'm more inclined to believe it's both, that the person making the statement doesn't want to be responsible for something like that, and is also spelling it out so the person in question is aware of what's possibly on the line, because "there will come a time when hesitation is no longer possible" is not necessarily a threat, it's a statement of fact for anyone that wants to retain a copyright, as if you don't defend it you end up losing it.

There may be more to it that puts it in a different light, and I'll also definitely admit that I might have a bit of bias just from seeing that it came from twitter. My default assumption about anyone getting outraged about anything on twitter is that they've likely jumped to conclusions and gotten one or more salient facts wrong, and that generally has served me well. Twitter, as a medium, seems to work best in expressing extreme emotions and not delivering all the useful facts, so incentivizes such things.

Edit: Correction, in fact it's trademark that you can lose if you don't defend it, not copyright, and has happened to "aspirin, escalator, butterscotch, zipper, yo-yo, thermos, and heroin" according to one source I found. I'm not sure exactly how this affects my point materially though, as I don't think that's necessarily a requirement for wanting to enforce the law on something that you think it causing you harm.
All of this really depends on the specifics of the disease. For example, HIV is pretty much 100% fatal and it has remained so over the last 40 years. Syphilis and Leprosy also have high fatality rates and have been around for 2000+ years. If a fatal disease doesn't kill the host for a while then it can easily become more transmissible while still being very harmful.

Lotus Improv was a bit like that I think. It's been a long time since I used it. Wikipedia says:

Conventional spreadsheets used on-screen cells to store all data, formulas, and notes. Improv separated these concepts and used the cells only for input and output data. Formulas, macros and other objects existed outside the cells, to simplify editing and reduce errors. Improv used named ranges for all formulas, as opposed to cell addresses.

If Dishy can do beamforming to have a radio signal hit a fast moving satellite several hundred kilometers away, in space -- then couldn't two or more Dishies be repurposed/reprogrammed -- to create point-to-point line-of-sight terrestrial Internet links -- a wireless mesh network -- on the ground -- covering long distances?

You know, if there's ever a Zombie Apocalypse -- and Starlink for whatever reason, becomes unavailable...

Of course, we hope it never happens... but it seems like two or more repurposed Dishies -- would make a great Internet bridge (or wireless mesh segment) over long line-of-sight distances -- on the ground...

Also, multiple dishies in space, at different distances from the Earth, acting as repeaters -- might make a great future way to get Internet (and other space-related communications) to the Moon or Mars or beyond...

>This becomes even further complicated given another repo of his - Fuck 学习强国, which is highly critical of the Chinese government. Were he deported to China, who knows how he may be received.
the basic idea that anything could be literally, explicitly 100% "pervasive" at literally every place in the entire world regardless of culture is so far beyond ridiculous it's nowhere even near entertaining, and the sheer delusion in making such a statement, including explicitly doubling down on any chance of doubt or wiggle room, is so far beyond the pale that it's just plain silly, and can only be made by someone who has minimal life experience and is extrapolating said limited life experience to the whole world
