Of course there's a big difference from today, because now you can check out the cruelty yourself on the thousands of videos and photos of it.

> The post prompted backlash from several corners of the internet, including the Reddit community "antiwork," with some users arguing that tech CEOs like Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk are lauded for working at multiple companies at once, while regular workers are punished for it. Others speculated that the engineers may have be working two jobs in order to make ends meet.

CEOs usually don't have a time requirement in their contract. Get a contract without time requirement and you can act just like a CEO does.

Or, even simpler, become a consultant and get paid for your results. Now the problem of course is, most of these people do it without ever intending to perform as well as they should, so this kills their whole scheme.

BTW the /r/antiwork is a complete shit show, seems like a comedy... Not sure if that's a place somebody should take too seriously.

Not impossible - things in Alaska and Canada thaw as the last, so the mosquitos could be already on their way long before the thawing there began.

However what I think is happening is that their eggs are what survives of them, and they hatch out quickly.

What about bixenons? Or does adaptive lightning mean strictly LED?

Hmm, you're right, Redux first appeared in 2015 and Elm in 2012. I was early adopter of both (didn't stick with Elm though) but I guess I only noticed Elm once it got popular. Thanks, my mistake!

Elm was inspired by Flux/Redux, not the other way around.

That's what a donation is. Corporations usually do it for indirect "profit" - PR mostly. But that doesn't mean they have to donate forever and in unlimited quantity now, does it?

I also donated money to Ukraine, do I have to keep sending more money because of it? No, I don't, that's entirely up to me, and my operational costs are nobody's business.

Don't worry there's going to be a need for literal legions, and it still won't be nearly enough

"I had a problem so I thought I'll use Java - now I have a ProblemFactory"

I think that needing legions of Archeologist-Programmers who will continuously tune the systems is much more likely.

It is not reasonable to be able to extract services and hardware for any/no cost from a private business just because they built something that could be used.

AFAIK that'd only be possible in a limited way if the US itself was at war.

Why should SpaceX have to provide services and hardware for operational costs only, while Lockheed Martin, BAE, Raytheon, etc can keep their profits?

Cool indeed, but not an alternative. I'd be surprised if they're not doing that already. The actual battlefield transformation came from being able to stream video. You're saying "back to the old times" and calling it an alternative.

What do you mean, not in terms of lost revenue? That's the cost a business and its shareholders care about. If you wanted to care only about operational costs, you should've put up your own constellation (e.g. government-tax funded).

Don't become Russia while fighting it.

So the solution here is to go after the planes/AOC holders that have misbehaving receivers and to force them to upgrade to correctly working hardware, just like we do with cars. Even if your car is certified, it will still get pulled off the street if it misbehaves - see Dieselgate. And company drivers also don't buy the cars they drive - nobody cares.

These are not alternatives if it can't do anything they're doing now.

Ad future - the question wrt. these particular projects is much more "if ever" not "when", and definitely not anytime soon.

iIf the war keeps going for a decade or longer, is SpaceX supposed to provide free service forever?

I don't want to take Musk's side here, but I don't think your take is entirely justified too. They donated a lot of hardware and free service for more than half a year. That's a lot, and I don't think donating that much means they have to keep donating forever.

So why is none of that used? Perhaps, it's not nearly as good, or can't be used at all for the purposes?

Ukrainians are streaming live full HD drone camera footage to mission command via Google Meet. Show me how to do that with a geospatial link with 3 Mb/s uplink bandwidth and 1000ms latency.

The other LEO ones don't exist at all AFAIK. Projects on paper don't count. Only working networks do.

The opposite causes the teacher as well as the peers to resent the more intelligent child, so which is better?

I could read since I was 4. When others at school were reading one word per minute spelling letter by letter, I finished the whole article and then continued to another and another. Result? I got a teacher's note (a big deal where I live) almost every lesson, and bad grades. And the children hated me, probably mostly because of the teacher mocking me for not paying attention. I would give anything to be boosted to similarly skilled children. I was friends with them anyways, never really liked the kids from my grade (but that could've been avoided if I wasn't forced to "learn" with them).

I've never seen a boosted child say it wasn't worth it or that they had much problems being a year/two younger than their classmates. Actually, smaller schools here usually combine 2-3 grades into one anyways and the children are friends alright, so boosting the taught curriculum is really not a big deal (unfortunately the system didn't allow it when I went to school).

Not even a major/primary/only shareholder can just do whatever they want. There definitely is a strong separation between Zuckerberg and the company. Even if he had 100% the company still would have to act fiscally responsibly for itself. Read the law.

No, I really don't think there's any rule at Facebook that says you should unban people if they have sex with you.

They also certainly aren't hurrying to allow corruption. That goes against company interests. One thing is keeping arbitrary decision power for the company, entirely another thing is allowing your managers to wield it in your name and however they want. I bet you Facebook doesn't want any of the latter.

The codified standards and rules, definitely not an arbitrary decision of a person who got fired over it.

More like "finding that people are corruptible", it's not like Facebook wanted this or did it on purpose.

Yeah, the flagships do, that's why I'm recommending them.

Samsung has unlockable bootloader and good LineageOS support. Unheard of with these $20 phones. And even without flashing, I'd still rather be tracked by Samsung than whatever they put into these $20 ones.

You do because your phone isn't usable because of it. Hard to do work on a phone that barely runs the SMS app.

No, it's not. Never buy a new $20 phone - it's subsidized by all that tracking and pre-installed shitware and it won't be getting updates soon, if it ever got even one, and the hardware is going to be absolutely terrible too. Buy a second hand one if $20 is all you can spend.

No, it's so bad it's better to have nothing for a while, save some money and then buy a better phone.

These phones really are so bad. Give it a go. Usually it's a horrible mess of Chinese tracking code, shitware apps you can't uninstall, and it won't be getting any system updates in a year.

Buy an older flagship second hand phone for $20, that's going to be much better experience than a new $20 one, even if it's 5+ years old and doesn't look good anymore.

They mostly use Android in India. This is about the US.

You ever tried that? It's a horrible experience. I love Android but you definitely need to spend much more to get something out of it. My advice is to get a second hand Samsung flagship - I have S9+, that's a great phone you can get for $200 - but don't go for anything less, you'll be very sorry if you do.
