Have you got a link for that?

It’s the only time that tabs Vs spaces really riles me up. So annoying when everyone has different tab lengths

The mold definitely should be fixed… But are ants not a tennant problem, not a landlord problem?

They pointed cameras at wrong boats with similar flags sometimes as well

I was more thinking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps

More than 1 million cubic kilometres of lava. Enough gasses to cause a mass extinction event.

Ugh, life took ages to get started. Lazy bacteria!

It’s still a hell of a long time if you consider that the entirety of recorded (ish) history is only a few thousand years long.

Updated comment to remove an order of magnitude.

It’s not X turning into Y when it comes to evolution. There were all kinds of different dinosaurs, that evolved I to all kinds of different niches. Most of those then went extinct due to rocks falling from the sky, or the entirety of India turning into a huge volcano etc.

So it’s not that a T-Rex turned into a chicken, it’s that T-Rexs lived alongside other dinosaurs that developed feathers and filled more niches etc. those that survived eventually became birds. (Have you ever seen an Emu up close?!? No wonder the Australians lost to them 🤣)

Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge. Also, remember this happened over (billions? hundreds of millions) of years.

Other comments about just not noticing feathers are valid too.

It’s probably a single dev that made the decision, then moves onto something else. They (probably?) don’t have the ability to just raise a recurring PO etc to easily pay you and don’t care enough to worth through the paperwork.

If you had a paid licencing model they may have done it, or just found another lib/ wrote their own.

oooh, ty

they just send a OTP to your email with the idea that you should be keeping your email secure (and that email providers are more secure than they can be)

The whole site seems like a PoC - the accounts don’t even have passwords! (I could actually kinda get on board with this)

Na, we are bags of water for the purposes of most approximations

Ah, I just assume as it was carbon it would still be quite low (relatively)

Don’t diamonds burn? They are just carbon.

It really depends on the company. You can make fully remote work, you can make 20-40% work or you can do 80-100% work. However the company needs to be run with that in mind to ensure good communication/team building etc.

You also can’t just change the rules. If you change the split someone is going to be unhappy.

(And accept that your possible talent pool is reduced when you don’t offer remote work)

Those quotes aren’t in the parent comment?

Could be supervillain problems 🤣 comments about wishing someone would go away and an underling resolves it’s in a more permanent way …

Probably not, it’s just that his entire exec team are spineless henchman.

I think the spacex team is still independent (ish) for now, I fear for them though!

I really want to see the email/message exchange preceding some of these changes at twitter/Tesla.

Is there any pushback/discussion any more, or does Elon just say jump and entire departments vanish?

Not as enlightening as their credit card article, but still an interesting read.

They are upping the rates on their fixed rate deals ( 5.84% for the next two years for example).

Because these rates can’t be changed once agreed the banks forecast what they think the cost of their borrowing will be over the next two years (based on the central bank/gov interest rates) and set a customer facing rate that is competitive but will make them good money.

They have been setting their rates with the assumption that the government set interest rates will fall sharply this year. That would mean they could give customers an interest rate that’s lower than the current government rate now because in a years time the government rate will have fallen and the customer would still be paying the fixed (higher) rate they agreed. (Making the bank good money)

However, inflation is proving more entrenched than expected and the government isn’t reducing interest rates like expected. The banks are therefore not offering those lower interest deals to customers as they’re not expecting to make it back later.
