This guy is creating new accounts every day to post his news page...last time he was /u/theanon

Band of Brothers

Except SS is a terrible form of authentication that is compromised already by the credit-reporting agencies for a significant fraction of American citizens.

Rest n vest is a problem at most of the major US tech companies.

The entire company is not funded by NASA

Fully agree Israel has a right to defend itself but what it seems to be doing now is more akin to invasive eradication than defense. They are on the offensive. Why does 1.2K dead in Israel justify 18K dead, hospitals targeted and destroyed, and a forced emigration of citizens in Gaza?

If a terrorist organization ruled the US I'm sure more than half the country would vote in support either out of blind nationalism or fear. Putin's got >90% support, eh? I don't think it's fair to say any recent election in Gaza is unbiased. It would also seem not so unreasonable that to the people of Gaza, Hamas looks more friendly than Israel recently.

I bet calculator usage also goes up during the school year

Ya know, when I named my black cat toothless I honestly didn't expect the popularity of the name. I thought I was being creative haha

At a corporate level I agree, I could not give less of a shit.

At a peer level, it sucks, like it would at any job where a team member is dead weight.

*divisive

Why switch? Postman is still my go-to

When starlink satellites fall down?

NASA doesn't pay for starlink. NASA pays for SpaceX to launch NASA's satellites, NASA astronauts, and DoD satellites. And this is a pretty good deal given that these rocket launches are the most bang for buck efficient rockets in the entire history of launching rockets.

Go read a bit of Satoshi's white paper on Bitcoin. It was created in response to the banking industry as a way for individuals to securely own digital currency without a centralized institution.

This is dependent on battery chemistry. True for common LI-ION.

You have no idea whether they're profitable or what the sources of income are....since they're private....

SWE's don't want to work in factories, generally, because pay is shit and hours are worse than selling your soul to bay area tech.

Even so, I'm planning to go back.

If it was a Ponzi scheme from the get go he would have cashed out his billions by now.

Bro stop trolling

This guy is a troll

In all fairness though both Hammond and May currently own Teslas.

Nobody is denying that NASA pays SpaceX for services.

I do this but I don't hate it. Except I hate myself for not hating it.

Golang for the software, test hardware can be pretty broad. For sense and measurement we use national instruments hardware.

Life was better before our government prioritized corporate profits over increasing the base quality of human life. SpaceX contributes to the latter by providing continued access to space and the research that goes along with it while also eliminating our dependence on Russia.

What are you arguing for as the alternative? Do nothing?-:

Can you read? NASA does not have a contract with SpaceX to deploy starlink satellites.

And it's better that they burn up than get stuck in orbit. We have enough space debris out there as it is.

It's not really fair to state that functional languages aren't battle tested or imply they aren't useful in real world problem solving, Erlang/Elixir prove that.

It is a half decent Fermi approximation though.

Quite the leap, eh?

When exactly is "before"? We've had a space program since the 50's. You know, when we landed on the moon.

Perhaps a corporate income tax or a billionaire wealth tax should be used to pay for food for starving people. Since, you know, corporate profits and billionaires actually do nothing to help the populus.

And while we're at it, why not universal healthcare?

Automating functional tests for products and their subassemblies while on the manufacturing line.

We do write tests for our software too though. The projects are written in golang, unittests sprinkled in with go's builtin test framework. Integration tests use our in house product simulations that were originally designed for firmware validation.

All good, that was just how your comment read to me.

2B to SpaceX, the most advanced rocket company on the planet fully run by Americans since they deal with DoD. Access to space is not a bad thing.

Agree people are starving. We're a country at peace spending >700B on the military industrial complex. Try shaving that down.

So are you saying you'd rather pay Boeing and Lockheed for a shittier way to access space that they don't even have working?

NASA is not part of the DOD, they report directly to the White House.

The boomerism you exude is not a good look.

Why can't I downvote!?

Lmfao! I'd go as simple as NIMBY boomerism.

You deserve the updoot sir
