  • My personal opinion is that it fails because SpaceX, like a lot of space startups, embrace a silicon valley coding mindset of 'move fast and break things', which results in them spending much more of their time and effort on testing than on design. Make a change, test, make a subsequent change, test. It gets them to a working prototype more quickly than legacy space/ defense companies. However, there's no emphasis on modeling or design, which is problematic for solving complex problems that haven't been solved for 50 years already.

  • So we oppose US intelligence agencies overthrowing democratically elected leaders in other countries but not their own?

  • In fairness to Colin Powell, my understanding was he didn't know it was a lie/ trumped up evidence at the time, and was pretty bitter about it in later years.

  • Attacking the commenter personally is not helpful. Obviously the whole destruction-of-American-Democracy thing is very different. But let's look at some salient issues.

    As far as the war in Gaza, Biden/ establishment Democrats still stood behind Netanyahu in the wake of Oct 7th. There was only slight functional differences in Biden's America's stance on Israel in Gaza and Trump's.

    Less salient, adding a cap on mortgage interest deductions on taxes. Republicans under Trump I did it to punish wealthy coastal (high home value) residents who rented to vote blue. Democrats left it in place because they approved of people who have more home value paying more taxes.

    It goes on. Both Democrats and Republicans failed to close Guantanamo, advance voting reform, advance marijuana legalization, end the war in Afghanistan, or take ANY action about climate change for decades, etc.

    It's not every issue mind you, but Democrats are frustratingly adherent to the status quo while the United States has needed meaningful reform for decades.

  • NGL, I'm pretty sad to lose this handle.

  • If you're making minimum wage, what do you really have to lose by improving your marketable skills?

  • Micro-retirement

    Jump

  • I mean, I don't see how it's possible if you're only going to have entry level skills... You're not really building up a wealth of marketable skills if you quit all the jobs after a year.

  • I think the problem might be how quickly you quit to do it. It takes a good year to train a new person to be productive. If they only get about a year of productivity from you after training you for a year (and a junior level amount of productivity at that), then it's not worth their time and effort to invest in you. If you did it every 5-7 years instead, it would probably go over better. That's long enough to see whole projects through to completion and then just take a break in between.

    There's also the issue of how long you take off. If you take off 6 months to a year, it's less likely that new technology comes in and changes everything than if you take off 2 years. Ex: 2 years from today you can expect huge swaths of industries to adopt using AI tools in day-to-day tasks. Another ex: I'm an engineer, not a CS person. I've helped design computer systems, but sophisticated coding isn't the main part of my job. In the last 3ish years I've seen every system I've encountered switch to containerization.
