>> Bringing Tesla’s manufacturing up to Apple’s quality might just be more work than getting a chinese contractor to round up another million Uyghurs.Comment · 5 years ago
Not OP, but NASA is very old school and the tech stack is old, not to mention that things move slower than a turtle (so much bureaucracy) and the fear of losing funding. It's just not a great place to work for anecdotally speaking. At best, it's an ok place to work for. Oh and I forgot to mention the crazy low salaries across the board, and yearly raises that are below inflation rate.

Someone said that "winners write the history books," but how true is that today given that most developed countries are connected through the internet and information spreads as fast as the speed of light (literally).
Anything to backup your claims about Eastern Europeans living in the 80s? Anything I can read? Not trying to refute your argument, but I'm just curious to see things from their perspective.

You're right. I agree with you. Thanks for clarifying.

It's sad to see HN users just downvote something they don't agree with instead of responding to the arguments made berg.
berg, what other options do we have besides capitalism? We saw how millions of people died of starvation with communist/socialists societies.

>“People will say, ‘I was just hungry.’ And then what do you do?”
People stealing food to survive while the super wealthy and rich becoming richer and richer[1]. What a great time to be alive.

EDIT: I don't particularly dislike Elon (the man has done alot of good), but he was the easiest example I could think of. Stock market is a better indicator of rich people's wealth.

It's very hard finding high quality things that are cheap, and it's very easy finding low quality things that are expensive.
Rule of thumb is to read the 3-start (and below) reviews for anything that you're planning on buying. 4 and 5 stars are generally customers who had been paid to write those reviews.

Is it just me or is the dark mode too dark? My eyes are having a hard time finding things.

Summary: California, working with Apple and Google released an app called "CA Notify" to contact trace COVID-19 spread. The app uses "Bluetooth to determine when two devices have been near one another for more than 15 minutes."
iPhone users can activate the app by enabling "Exposure Notifications" under settings.

Then you keep interviewing until you get the ones you know. There's luck involved with everything. Luck in the sense of the right time at the right place.
