Go is limited. There are too many ways people in my company can fuck up C# code, it's much harder to spend time moving around letters with Golang.

Progressive web apps

I wasn't able to answer any of this by reading it:

- what startup problem?

- how is this relevant to startups?

- how is it solving that startup problem?

- doesn't this basically say "you solve the startup problem by being successful"?

Don't act like it wasn't completely useless before Musk. I never understood how anyone can have any kind of discussion, much less a serious one, on Twitter. No matter what I followed or unfollowed or blocked, there was always so much crap and outright scam I just deleted the account and moved on.

OpenVSX. Again this is just the same as RHEL repos behind license login.

There's an entire mechanism to build custom VSCode based applications right there ready to be used. They did more than could be expected.

That's if the risk comes out at 100%, but there's some space below that.

What is the chance of getting hit by further broken pieces of that satellite and other satellites?

When calculating risk, you have to take into account how many are there and what is the chance that any will be hit. Then you have to calculate what's the chance this will happen again, etc - and only then you can calculate the risk to your own satellite.

It's true that the chance of getting hit by one broken satellite is small. But that assumes there are exactly 2 things on the orbit.

I don't see how the realization could've happened if they're moving back to the office.

I'm not surprised btw, every remote first company I've been in is stuck. I'm not saying it's inherent, but making it work is extremely hard. Imho it makes perfect sense that a company doesn't want to invest into it - it's not a lifestyle business.

I wouldn't say so. It's a very marked difference with a sharp change the moment I drive through the border.

No, it's not a title. He did enough engineering to be the one who did the key decisions.

Maybe the guy was talking about the reality, not the theory. From my autobahn travels it seems like the Germans don't know how to turn on the blinkers.

All possible tabs exist in an open/not open state and the wave function collapses once you open a tab. Instant internet using your multiverse modem!

Not surprising considering his physics background...

He's away from everyday operations, but he is most definitely the actual chief engineer of Starship - the one with final word, not necessarily the one doing all the work.

Ah, the classic corner desk, the only way to not have your head permanently fixed to left/right side.

It takes only a slight mind jump to considering Amazon a marketplace platform like Ebay.

Yeah, but the Ethernet port is inside the display case and you control it from the display menu.

Don't build, use Casdoor or Keycloak.

There are plenty of very respected people confirming that Elon is extremely hands on and key to Starship development. Also SpaceX engineers who worked directly with him on Reddit - take a look, it's interesting to read.

Retail is very insignificant holder of this kind of stock. Less than 10-30% total in most cases of S&P stocks. It's mostly the pension funds, and big investors.

Express way is much better for writing async handlers -streaming, iterators, partial responses, keep-alive, early responses with further processing on background...

Yeah, but that report is required by government to be done independently. That makes it very different.

How do you want to regulate somebody giving advice to people for money?

I mostly agree, but for sake of honest discussion... Why are the mechanical/electrical engineers also not paid well at these companies? Even at these companies capable of achieving massive scale with new products they design. Think something like 3M, making billions of units of widgets and commodities.

Oh no, that's not true at all. They care about data, and they will actually tell you themselves that they already did it for you - right after convincing you that you need to do it again.

Very often it's yet another consulting company proving to their clients that the big cultural change they are suggesting needs to be done.

There is big money in doing that too - you gain a client for life if you're successful, and you get to recommend all your friends in Professional Services companies who give you a cut/forward strategy business your way.

Yeah, unfortunately you need a proper startup culture at your location to have access to companies small and big like that. I don't think there is a single place like that in Europe. Fortunately, it's quite easy to find work for American companies. And well paid.

Why would you need it there? Serious question, would love the use case inspiration.

In many cases, yes. But I wouldn't say it's not valuable if you're in these few verticals they care a lot about (one of them is mining, as an example). They won't provide you the data directly, but they do have it and it's central to everything they do - from across the industry, large and small clients, at all stages of life, and they stayed with many of them through significant transitions. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars into custom internal tools to make the data and derived analysis accessible to consultants. Where you have theories, experiments and anecdotes, they have statistics. And nobody has better than they do.

Don't fall into thinking they just want to make some easy money and don't care about your situation. They most probably saw hundreds or thousands of clients like you, and know that unless you're a unicorn, the "standardized" approach will be better for you - they synthetized it from thousands of engagements to be as simple and as idiot proof as possible. And here I mean idiots on both sides - consultants as well as the client. If you were an unicorn, you wouldn't need to hire McKinsey. Remember, most of us aren't Gates/Jobs/... This is just like tech startups thinking they're an unicorn and spending an absurd amount of effort (and thus money - also opportunity cost) on reinventing the wheel and building for infinite scalability, instead of simply doing what works well for everybody else.

Not saying they don't want money, but their approach to making easy bucks is to add a zero to their quotes, not by not doing anything worthwhile. The quotes seem crazy to us mere mortals, but the clients are usually happy - what's a few million dollars when they helped you save tens or hundreds of millions. You don't care how simple was what they did - you probably tried many times yourself before hiring them, and if they made a stupid thing work, you're grateful.

Sometimes it's really stupid - like a consultant randomly noticing that the client buys protective earplugs from 20 different suppliers while drinking coffee in the common area of 5th branch they're visiting; acting on it and making a much better deal (money and services-wise) with just one or two suppliers globally, and similar kinds of random ad hoc but monetarily significant optimization. That's where the templates come in - if you hire McKinsey they just ask "how do you do X?" - and if you say '"well we don't have a global process for that, each location handles it themselves", their reaction is to implement a template process - and I think that's good. Yes, the branches will scream bloody murder, but the corporate doesn't care - it's not their business to create cultural centers for adults. Create a lifestyle business for yourself if you want that.
