I feel the endless search for avoiding things I hate is a bit of a utopian dream. I try to be a bit more realistic and tolerant I suppose. Understood that you don’t tho.

Not sure what you’re referencing

I’m sorry you feel this way. I haven’t been on reddit in years. I’ll limit or block Lemmy.ml, tension high af in here. Clearly I wandered into an echo chamber I don’t belong in!

I did it for years in the city but can’t anymore.

So yeah, anyhow, that’s my point.

But most of us still drive, I suppose that was the point

Yeah, in search of answers. Not to defend a point.

So does no one here drive?

Oh I agree!

I’m using it as part of a question, asking if it’s his socially awkward behavior that makes him disliked. That’s all. That’s what I wrote. No need to rip your britches.

Starlink satellites are disposable from the start. They have a five year lifespan before deorbiting and burning up. So launches continue forever. So basically upgrades just come as they come, the mechanism is already in place. No clue on how costs compare with upgrading hundreds of thousands of terrestrial towers every 10 years or whatever is needed.

Agreed that domestic benefits would require far more analysis than I’m capable of.

He never stood a chance, he was untrusted by half the country.

I am concerned. I didn’t bring up billionaire. I just wonder why we damn a whole company of 10k ppl doing cool science shit because we don’t like the CEO.

Oh I agree! But I still drive a car and use windows when I have to. I don’t want to, but to avoid it is currently quite a life nuisance. And that’s I suppose how I feel about those who use Starlink.

Same applies to all social networks and MS Windows, right? Just making sure I’m tracking - these are also hated here? Things that rich people own manufacturing of? What about cars? They’re pretty much govt spyware now too. Just wondering how far this govt coercion hatred extends into everyday life.

It seems I stepped on a landmine. My bad. I truly didn’t and don’t realize that satellite internet is destroying humanity but I hear now it’s the guy that started the company that is so I have to hate those too.

I genuinely saw the man making a hand gesture out to all the people. I didn’t see, nor have I even seen, any sign or symptom that he’s actually a Nazi.

The pedo thing, eh that’s pretty inconclusive that he was touching underage women because he asked to go to a party imo. I prefer a bit more damning evidence.

The man isn’t my idol. I hate a lot of his personal life and the way he appears to treat woman.

I truly am thinking independently, and I understand that your view on the world is different. Is this all it takes for you to say pedo Nazi or is there more?

IIRC his point was that 5G to every household is better than an ISP satellite constellation. That felt like it was ignoring so much including national security (for USA at least), global impact, and upgrade costs.

Yes I understand that’s the party line. I was hoping for something more concrete but now it feels like this is being answered in bad faith so we can shut it down

Huge fan of Alec, seen most his vids and yeah I caught that earlier this week, including the full ending.

I agree with and love every bit of that video except for that part about Starlink. Everything in his video aligns with my view of the world and I learned a ton of stuff as well, but I feel like this one I would have to sit down and think about a lot more.

It seemed out of place in the video in fact. I brushed it off and didn’t go further down the rabbit hole, but nothing he said changes my mind immediately on this particular matter. Everything else in the video made total sense and easily defensible.

I am realizing now that perhaps this was simply a cheap jab at Elon - Just because everyone hates Elon right now. You have me thinking and maybe I’ll rewatch it and think through this a lot more. I don’t recall him saying anything specific against Elon himself. Prob a dramatic eye roll?

Maybe I’m too old to have heard that. Or it’s geographical. Since I’m not familiar with that - it sounded like your nonchalant attitude simply meant you had tried that before lol

not even sure what you’re laughing abt. but fair to say it’s not going to be fruitful given this response.

Oooooo. Wow ppl really just gonna hate everything he touches eh?

Remind me why. Is it mainly because of his attempt to reduce government spending, his views on trans, his Asperger’s, or his odd approach to reproducing with women?

SpaceX has 10k employees that aren’t Elon ya know.

like a kitten in a microwave

Wtf is this something you do?!

Damn, what do you have against global internet?!

Early Sierra games did this. Kings Quest for example.

U need sources on how/why economies of scale work, and how supply chains evolve?

This isn’t exposing some unknown flaw. As the article says, this only applies for people who willingly use Bitlocker Recovery, which stores your key with Microsoft.

Those concerned about privacy would never do such a thing. As the article also states, the majority of FBI requests cannot be fulfilled because the accounts didn’t share their keys.

…20 requests for BitLocker keys per year and in many cases, the user has not stored their key in the cloud making it impossible for Microsoft to assist.

In the movies, AI infiltrates through sneaky back doors and stuff. So unrealistic. The reality is that we just give it root access willingly.

I’ve been a pro software engineer for 30 years.

Colleges are doing a horrible job at relevant skill sets for sure. But also, much of the time what I’m seeking is passion for the field. In today’s world, kids with passion learn everything themselves in their teens and go directly to the workforce because they’d learn nothing at college. College became a place to go if you can’t figure it out yourself, which also means you lack the passion, hence you’re really not a great hire for a small company.

I currently never hire college grads anymore unless they’re older.

Things are different at enterprises. They need so many people that the passion requirement is dropped and you end up with tech leads who are passionate leading armies of worker bees who need constant oversight. This also works but has its own inefficiencies far outside the scope of this comment lol.

That’s how I see the state of the industry. People need to follow passion, not money. Unfortunately the incentives are misaligned by society in general. Not sure how to fix the value problem. For instance, teachers and childcare should be far more expensive and as such pay more. It’s a super heavy regulated sector tho, which is part of the problem.

But I digress. College for a general software engineering job is a complete waste.

Ignore him. He’s just mad and tired because his new bed burned him all last night.

It’s gotta be more than just an outage that did this. Like seriously, your internet goes out and your bed breaks? Why didn’t we hear anything about this before? Certainly these people have had home internet go out?!

I’m just imagining it’s a bug of sorts where the bed can access some things but not some other resource specifically not needs so it got caught in an unexpected condition.

Try the link of the post you’re responding to.

Are you able to cite some more specific examples so I can more fully understand what you mean? And what’s the catalyst for them saying “no” to our business, if that’s what you’re implying?

Oh? We don’t work together with Taiwan and China and India on manufacturing now? What changed specifically?

You mean like we do?

I feel the same way about your clickbait content behind videos. Please be mindful that this is a text based site used for discussion and enlightenment. Your ancient clickbait is annoying to me.

I’m not alone. Read the room. See the votes.

You’re not required to acknowledge or reply to my opinion. But I felt compelled to share.

Yes. I can read a summary or even a transcription in 10-20 seconds. I’m also not somewhere that I want to blast a video from my device.

Yeah. As soon as I posted this I started thinking through that and realized that I’m completely wrong. It may actually be better for anyone to have China spy on them. In fact, especially USA citizens.
