And you are one of the reasons why some orgs don't want WFH.

I'm quite amazed how many people actually think they can get away with working for few hours and think they are somehow entitled to it under 9-5 40hr workweek contract.

Yeah, I also don't get why people expect to work 2 hrs instead of 8 and receive same salary.

Once you go from horse to tractor the fields increase but work hours doesn't decrease. And if you still use a horse, you are outperformed by the tractor guys who will sell stuff at less the price that you can sustain.

> (Maybe they already do it that way.)... take us difference-noticers on our word

You didn't convince me.

Of course such growth cannot be sustained and the word "MAY" is funny there. You cannot have infinity growth, it is mathematically impossible. There are no unlimited (monetary) resources on this planet.

Handling food related stuff, at least in my country, requires tracking and registering temperature for the fridge. It needs to be documented. Either you have a probe that you bring to computer to read data.. or you send it somewhere.

I don't know lot about fridge internet tech, but I can see that communication is needed to send this data. Having a hub to be able to do it is probably introduces complexity, but also maybe viable solution.

We had a blackout for a prolonged period of time (not 24hrs, but was 12+). Next day thee shop had all the freezers empty. If the "food and safety administration" on your audit catches that you still sold food when temp dropped under x for period of time, I bet you get into trouble.

You also get into trouble if you don't have records to show.

I'v been coding now for like 15 years and I'm not old enought to understand the debate between spaces vs tabs :)

I guess my IDE choices never surface the issue for me... visually they just look the same. I cannot say which codebase uses spaces which uses tabs. I never even think about it. I just smash tab character and don't care that there have been spaces. Or enter or { and IDE does the indentation. I just choose not to press space 2-4-8-16 times in a row.

Now I hope I won't get bulldozed over by HN crowd...

Is it only me but I really dislike "Code Ligations"? I have to mark some chars to count how many consecutive "=" simbols there are... or \/ looking like V without having other chars near it to distinguish. Having to copy paste diamond shape to find out it is <>. arrows with squiggly tails, /> being ugly, <. having dot in the middle...

That could be the maximum I'd like out of font to have "proper" greater/less-equal sign.

100 "Secret" word list sounds statistically more improbable than cracking your password.

> when calculating Starlink profits they're ... also negative

No.

Starlink profits are positive since 2023: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1720098480037773658

Their growth is insane. The operating income (not revenue which is double digits, but irrelevant) in 2025 was 4,4B and with the growth they have, they are profiting multiple billions a year.

That's an incredible achievement. But you seem to be ignoring the goals of Starship program - to make economically viable and reusable means of space transportation.

It's like after Jobs unveils iPhone to the world you'd comment that, meh, we could make telephone calls more than 100 years ago?

I wonder how this type of comment would apply to software development world where something innovative is being built, currently not ideal but the devs would just look at it: Meh, it doesn't do X, it doesn't do Y, it does Z worse and it doesn't send email!

Maybe AI applies here - from a few years of supercharged intellisense to builds stuff on its own. But even here I don't remember such a skepticism some folks are aiming at Starship.

It's like running into R&D department and just pointing out at the flaws/not implemented features while you iterate on your product. Annoying.
