As part of the writers’ strike negotiations, make “leaks” like this actually mandatory and with a “no-retaliation” rule. After each production (for a movie) or season (for a show) the union will collect and publish the working conditions for a given director/producer/etc. team so everyone can know what they’ll be…

So lets say this hypothetical pandemic hire Chad is a $150k worker bee. Let’s also wildly under-guess that Marc Benioff makes $6,000,000 a year (probably off a whole digit, but lets just say).
Is Marc’s hot take that Chad is MUCH less than 2.5% as productive as Marc is? Because Chad is getting 2.5% of Marc’s…

But with your $400/200 fee, you get a blue checkmark you can put on your license plate...

I don’t get how loser employers offer shit wages, treat their workers like shit, then are surprised when workers display exactly as much loyalty as they are shown. If you want reliable workers, treat them as valuable assets vs. “human resources” (ie: interchangeable bricks you can swap out with no consequence or…

The title doesn’t say “All Twitter Users (but really only a secret subset of whom I’m going to silently and selectively sample...)”

It’s like someone said “I mean I’d *love* a Ted Cruz-type for 2024; I just wish he was dumber, more socially awkward, less intelligent and even even less attractive - oh wait hi desantis!” and boom: white bootie ron appears!

ah ha ha ha ha ha ha... no

Not sure what Tesla is thinking - but they’re sitting on $12 billion in cash. I know some of it is going to Mexico and there is $$ earmarked for factory expansion in Germany, Texas and China, but at this point I think they’ve found everyone who had cash in hand and wanted a Model Y. Lowering prices further isn’t going…

Debris making it the wrong way up a 15 million lbs. thrust cone to damage the gimbals, cones, etc. would be some pretty impressive debris. My money is on unforseen sound/shock waves, or close-by interactions between the 33 rockets kicking each other or the rocket housing itself during launch. I note that we’re…

Wait they still make *single-use only* rockets?

It makes sense to come up with your own technology - I can’t imagine that even if SpaceX was willing, it would be possible to just take the software and hardware specs and adapt them to your rocket. Maybe a team of engineers spending 2 or 3 years at SpaceX would produce a meaningful tech transfer, but short of that…

It annoys me how easily supertechnology like the USS Titan can be “taken” by bad buys. You can’t “take” my iPad, my phone, my notebook - at least not in any meaningful way without hours and hours of wiping/re-installing everything, by which time you have my hardware but not my stuff. They’re locked up with passwords,…

Pale Blue is the propulsion system vendor - they claim their system is safer, cheaper (“most affordable”), more environmentally friendly and sustainable/scalable for microsats. They also claim longer service life (vs. other types of noble gas ion thrusters, I assume?).
Their technology is based on research originally…

In other news, the Department of Education believes (with low confidence) that former President Trump was a primary instigator of the Jan-6 insurrection.

So not the same ghostly detective team that showed up on DOOM PATROL?
