yep, if you owe someone a little money they have control. If you owe someone a lot of money, you have control. The whales use SaaS companies to develop things they dont want in house and demand features because they know they're one of the biggest customers.

yeah this is some nonsense. I'm at a highly successful startup serving 40,000 requests per minute on a rails app. We're starting to split out into services but that's purely from an organizational standpoint as it's becoming unwieldy for 60 developers to all work in the same code base.

That's exactly what the ISPs want though. If we try to tackle all of these loopholes then they get to draw this out in a thousand different court cases which they can easily afford.

OR how about we attack them directly because it's obvious that they have malicious intentions.

Microsoft makes all of it's money from PC sales and software licensing.

Meanwhile, they basically invented the "buy your competitor and tank their business" strategy. That's probably what this person is referring to.

Interesting idea. In Denver, they're partnering with our regional transportation district to evaluate a hyperloop system here. Unfortunately RTD has been completely incompetent with existing rail programs to date so there isn't much confidence in their ability to pull this off. Could potentially be designed to fail.

Slightly different but yeah. The falcon has a single pre-orbit stage. The heavy has two pre-orbit stages. So it'll end up being three falcon engines stitched together with decouplers. Part of the way to orbit, the outside two decouple and return the to launch pad. Some time after that, the center engine decouples and lands on a barge. None of those will be going at orbit velocity though.

this isn't equivalent. In your scenario the single employee is choosing to take advantage of the company's hospitality and I think their manager would be right to either deny that or speak to them afterwards.

it's not that silly. We're mostly all developers so its easy to forget but most people dont have desktop computers nowadays. Mobile is the primary experience for many people.

OMG Arvada is pretty bad too. We had some hispanic kids causing trouble in the park and people were trying to organize on NextDoor to go confront them with baseball bats. We're talking about 13 year olds here... It's definitely been used as a safehaven for paranoid old white people.

Stop ruining our fun! Seriously though, there seems to be some portion of the programming community that like to shit on people for enjoying exercise and caring about how they look. Doesn't bother me a whole lot. I know I'll always get opportunities to beat those people in an interview if I am just better dressed and more sociable.

I can't wait for the day when our legislative bodies actually understand how the technology around them works. Maybe then we can avoid idiotic discussions like the ones surely going on in this courtroom right now.
