Re: How the **** does it cost £1.5bn?

Isn't the plan to simply dump the paperwork in the river until you can walk across it?

A similar rules applies in aerospace, when the paperwork weighs more than the aeroplane - its good to fly

VMware sues Siemens for allegedly using unlicensed software

Re: Burning it down

I think the plan is to extort all you can from the existing customers until they can switch to something else and then just milk a few large/government customers that can't switch because of reasons = standard model for a dead end business line

2 in 5 techies quit over inflexible workplace policies

But if you're a manager you want the ones who are desperate and will do anything to keep the job. You don't want the 'difficult' independent in-demand ones

We can just vaccinate the developers and keep them in their cages

>I've quit without a net to save the stress and relied on my skills to be able to find something else.

That's the advantage of RTO as a stealth redundancy. You get rid of those type of people first

We require all our developers to work outside the cloud data center we use.

Since we have global dynamic redundancy zones - this does require quite a lot of travel

Re: No desks

You just need to get a bigger car and race the other employees to the office - it's just "market forces"

NASA rewrites Moon mission goals in quiet DEI retreat

Re: Sunset of merit

>suitability for a mission?

The mission is purely to land a token crew on the moon.

60 years ago we proved we can land a crew of men on the moon, we even sent a golfer to the moon, it achieved nothing of any importance except a publicity win over the USSR

What else do you expect NASA to do as a publicity stunt today? Send a Tik-Toker?

You don't expect them to do something pointless like sending a robot scientific probe !

Re: Nazi Rocket Scientists

Unfortunately their Nazi is not a rocket scientist and their rocket scientists aren't Nazis

Re: Against racism and sexism

55 years after the first moon landing we don't seem to have made much progress in automated flight control systems that we still need a Neal Armstrong to pilot the craft

Obviously we have run out of Nazi rocket scientists. Perhaps we should recruit some of those Japanese chaps that landed a space probe on an asteroid and returned it safely.

Re: Against racism and sexism

No you just have to be a square jawed Marine test pilot. The air force and navy had already had their turn in return for cooperation in Apollo. The USMC are the only ones left with square jawed test pilots.

You can even be a women or black (as long as you are Christian)

Ex-NSA boss: Election security focus helped dissuade increase in Russian meddling with US

Re: Why meddle

The biggest threat to Europe is Russia (and America) - perhaps they should get China on side ?

Why meddle

23andMe's genes not strong enough to avoid Chapter 11

Re: Just don't!

The new rules being not to subpoena data but just to make up a customer, pay the $50 and submit the crime scene DNA.

Wait for a letter back saying "Hey! you may have a long lost twin" then find some parallel way to arrest the suspect and never mention the DNA match in court

Re: The court will now oversee the sale of 23andMe's assets

Interview with a Welsh politician who had done one of these tests and it showed he was 2% Nigerian. Surprised that the clan Llywelyn had such an exotic background it was explained to him that actually it meant that a percentage of Nigerians owed their ancestry to some visiting Welsh men

Re: The court will now oversee the sale of 23andMe's assets

Don't worry, you can always trust the capital markets and US legal system to do what's best for you regardless of cost to them

They moved their HQ to Singapore and manufacturing to SE Asia. This was purely as a protest against the evil overbearing Eu bureaucrats and in no-way a tax scheme or a search for cheap labour

If you overrode the door switch you could have used it for hard lighting aswell

Boeing's Starliner future uncertain as NASA weighs next steps

Re: Boeing needs to learn from SpaceX's mistakes and failures

>SpaceX is in a unique situation with Starlink.

It is interesting that the only way that a move fast and break things, hyper-dynamic Silicon Valley focussed company can actually be viable is to be a vertical manufacture where you are your own best customer.

It's as if Amazon decided to build its own airfreighters and electric delivery trucks

Re: I'd hesitate too

Pretty sure they were given SLS as a pork barrel project to cover up losses on another project. So they will definitely get another secret project to make up for this one, and for the various airliner "difficulties".

Possibly this is how we ultimately get flying cars

Which is why the new US motto is: "this is why we can't have nice things'

That's ridiculous. What actually happens is that by the power of patronage, the supreme court agrees with whatever the president (*) says or does

(* Offer not valid with all presidents)

Re: a native born foreigner and the other one is a non-man

Well for someone working in the highest murder rate village in the world - his cleanup rate is impressive

Re: Unfair headline

>What the fuck's a "native-born foreigner?"

I thought it sounded sufficiently Trumpian.

Not clear what a non-native birth would be - but you have to wonder how some of the administration were spawned

Re: a native born foreigner and the other one is a non-man

I really don't think the Trump administration are being sarcastic

You might be interested in our administration's new "job for life" program to be rolled out as part of operation "state's rights 2.0"

But these are military veterans in a country that worships military service. The cruelty is the point !

Do AI robo-authors qualify for copyright? It's still no, says appeals court

Re: what about the prompt?

If somebody can just take and reuse the output of the "prompt artist" work because AI was used to generate it

Then can I take the output of anything that used a machine to generate it? Is only the source code copyright, not the generated executable
