1. I want my coffee hot.
2. There's no discussion of frothing the milk for my cappuccino.

I'll stick to my manual DeLonghi espresso maker.

Except that testimony from someone working there, with direct knowledge of the company's actions, is considered more important than, say, some sleepwalking, anti-woke idiot's comments.

STFU. You have no clue how any of this works, and get your "news" from Faux Noise.

Nobody in this org is getting a "fat paycheck", as opposed to the scum who's paying you to post.

So you're an unsafe coder.

When I was writing a lot of C in the mid-nineties, I switched from strcpy to strncpy, and *guaranteed* that I know the length of the receiving field.

Is thsi story that people do not actually know how big thei receiving field is?

I wasn't aware of some of those details, but you're dead right. There is a zero probability that any for-profit prison would not want to maximize recidivism.

And the government-run ones... Add county jails into this picture. In 2004, the Brevard Co., FL jail was horrid (someone very close to me was in it). Lunch? Green baloney. Anyone could claim that someone should be on suicide watch, and they were *not* isolated, but put in glass-walled cells, zero privacy, *with* bright lights on 24/x, and the a/c cranked up, and one thin blanket. Oh, and no glasses. Their GED program? Only if there would be enough people to take it, and in a jail, it was in for a while and out. Most of the women were in for prostitution, of course, and a high percentage were functionally illiterate. And the cost of phone calls meant some had little outside contact week-to-week.

So, "People With Disabilities Don't Exist" then?

My father was recently paralyzed by Guillain-Barré, so I'll let him know, thanks.

a) This is a stupid counter.
b) google many people control most of the stocks, and you get: "how Just 10% of American households control the vast majorityâ"roughly 93%â"of all individually held stocks and mutual funds. Within that top tier, a remarkably smaller fraction drives the highest concentration; the top 1% of households owns half of all U.S. corporate equities"

So, I"m right, and you are supporting the ultrawealthy while being poor yourself (otherwise, you wouldn't be posting on slashdot.)

Oh god. If I spent enough time digging through my ancient Slashdot posts, somewhere back there there are posts of me going, "While I loved the strategy behind Falcon 9, I'm really not keen on this plan to make Starship out of huge carbon fibre tanks, that sounds like a really failure-prone solution..." I'm glad they only spent like a year on that idea before deciding it was dumb; somewhere back there there's also a bunch of posts of me cheering their switch to steel ;) . SpaceX still keep having random COPV problems (most of which they don't even make themselves). Not too encouraging for the notion of the cold gas thruster add-on to the Roadster, where the plan is to replace the back seat with COPVs, so you have a COPV right behind your head.

Electron has been getting by on CF, and honestly I'm impressed, but they've also been only working with very small launch vehicles thusfar. We'll see how neutron goes...

I prefer Bruce Schneir and his co-author's plan. https://www.schneier.com/blog/...

You're an asshole.

Different American, that is, the 90% of us (I suppose I can assume you're a Russian troll), rather than 80 or so people who control it all.

Did the Kool-Aid (tm) taste good? Did yuo have to pay for it?

Let's try "paying the majority of employees starvation wages, such that some of them need food stamps (Walmart has an actual division to halp employees, many of whom they do not want to make full time, and pay benefits, to help them get food stamps). And then they pay *NO* taxes (Mu$k? Tesla?), but you're paying taxes...

Ghu, you're stupid. And you're no millionaire, since you're posting here.

Oh, yeah. How much in the way of assets does the DSA have (I should check, I need to re-up my membership)?

Billionaires, and trillion dollar companies paying *no* taxes, and you're a millionaire with a temporary cash-flow problem.

In other words, you're too stupid to live on your own.

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to say about printing small rocket parts, such as for the engines. But they were printing basically sheet metal cylinders, which is such an immensely slow and inefficient way to go about it, and it left them with parts that were heavier and less aerodynamic (rougher surface). Crazy that idea ever got any funding.

The one seen over Moscow might have been, with a bit more thrust...

"SapceX has got to be a huge scam too" - SpaceX launches the vast majority of the world's commercial cargo to orbit. The Falcon 9 FT has the highest success rate of any rocket with a statistically significant number of launches under its belt, and is dirt cheap. SpaceX's core operations are roughly breakeven, but that's including subsidizing the development of Starship. Starlink is a money printer.

There are lots of things sketchy about the SpaceX IPO, to say the least, but SpaceX, as a company, has been extremely successful with rocketry.
