  1. The poster is the treasurer too. How can he not know where the money is coming from and what constraints its beholden to?

    Wildly unprofessional or just willful lying.

  2. Why would someone contribute to Ruby central now, when the org has been shown to be callous and incompetent stewards who are utterly incapable of showing even minimal respect to their community?
  3. One week is a big part of the idiocy here. Anyone half busy with anything is going to miss miscellaneous bullshit from management like this, especially when management is prone to these "flights of fancy" with random tooling or the new hot thing.

    I personally ignore or delay things all the time because of actual work I'm doing. If running some random AI tool is more important than "keep the company working," that's a really sick and fragile culture.

  4. Self-driving car companies dont want a unfiied signalling platform or other "open for all" infrastructure updates. They want to own self-driving, to lock you into a subscription on their platform.

    Literally the only open source self driving platform, from trillion to billion to million dollar companies is comma.ai, founded by Geohot. Thats it. Its actually very good, and I bet they would welcome these upgrades, but that would be a consortium of one underdog pushing for them.

  5. Literally yes. They knowingly offloaded their collusion to a 3rd party and an "algorithm" in order to illegally profit from a cartel.

    It's happening in more than just housing too. This also happens in food stuffs like potatoes.

  6. The police reached out to Tesla legal within days and asked if they needed a subpoena. The Tesla lawyer said no, but then directed the police to make their request in a specific way that hid relevant data from police and the victims. It took 5 years to get the data, and only then after a forensic engineer proved Tesla uploaded it by finding logs on the cars black box and after the court was leveling sanctions.

    Should companies be intentionally misleading to law enforcement about what data they have on fatal accidents like Tesla?

  7. Look into XCP-NG. Its an excellent implementation of xenserver with a vsphere style single pain of glass called xen-orchestra. Its all FOSS and buildable from source.

    It comes "batteries included" with backups/vsan/etc for an insanely reasonable "per host" license cost for support.

  8. An ideal side effect of over overbuilding solar 5x for winter is that you could then use that spare solar in the other 3 seasons to make green hydrogen, an energy intensive process, to power retrofitted gas plants. You could store and ship excess gas as well, creating an adhoc "green energy interconnect" with other nations.
  9. Firing people is the number 1 way companies improve short term profits. Since our stock market is based on quarterly results, firing people is absolutely what the business will do. You can watch all the AI layoffs and "not hiring because of AI" in real time, right now.
  10. Do you have a soul? Do I?

    You can indeed live a life in fear of holy retribution, but you do not have the right to force others to do so as well.

  11. That period of time is now. That filter is still active.
  12. He has already stated he will be pulling out of the Paris accords again, so the above comment is disingenuous about current day events as well.
  13. What they often do is put different units on the same type of good. Three chocolate bars? One will be in oz, one in lbs, one in "per unit."

    They all are labelled, but it's still customer hostile to create comparison fatigue.

  14. A lifetime non disparagement clause is not in any way "standard boilerplate."

    That is an extraordinary clause, which is evident by the wide, stunned reaction and the CEOs rapid backpedaling as it becomes public knowledge.

  15. Union autoworkers make more and habe better benefits than non union auto workers.

    You know that when the big non unionized auto workers recebtly got raises? Right after the unionised ones fought for and got their own.

    The union is the only thing that drives wages up. Non union shops, including your example of Delta flight staff, only get benefits because the unions are there. Without the other unions in that space, they would get nothing.

    You know what would ensure Delta gets all the same benefits as the unionized staff around them? Joining the same union.

  16. > Israel lets more aid through now than before the October 7th atrocities. That aid is intercepted by Hamas and does not reach the intended recipients.

    No, they do not. There are still less full aid trucks even after the murder of the World kitchen volunteers massively increased international pressure on Israel to let aid in.

    Northern Gaza is now in full blown famine as defined by top US officials that define famine, with southern Gaza on the brink of famine, as all farming infastructure inside gaza gas has now been destroyed. They need drastically more full trucks than the the 500/day that was the norm before the war started, not drastically fewer.

  17. Truth tends to take the wind out of hypes sails.

    With hundreds of billions on the line for the founders and a whole lot of likely unvested stock options for the employees, it doesnt seem like anyone wants to open up about whats actually going on day to day.

  18. It's unclear if you are being sarcastic or not.

    Apple adopted USB C on their phones because the EU compelled them to. They tend to oppose standards they aren't already using.

  19. Freight trains can be 3 miles long. Apprently the locks are hilariously weak, and they are generally staffed by 2 people. Responding to a break in can take 30 min - hour, and the train companies dont really care because they have insurance.

    It's likely that the ID on the outside of the car is vague enough to imply that there may be high value goods like detergent or alcohol inside. Once the thieves break into a car, they would generally not have time to pick another.
