I mean, a remote operator could either try to land it in life risking situation, salvaging some of that $200M, or do kamikaze style on a target, both feel quite useful for war situations.

I'm wondering why these days, when my washing machine has an internet connection, they can't take over control of a plane remotely. I guess it could be considered a security vulnerability, however i'm quite sure it could be done securely. Like let the pilot eject and you try to land a plane with remote control

I am not American, so I don't know the rules of ssn. However, can someone calculate what are the chances I guess a valid ssn, if I know all the ssn rules?

I've found most of ukranians as well as russians love this style of interviews. I've also found them to be bad contributors to teams I've worked in.

I always think twice about my revenge and definitely serve it cold. However thinking about it, Inuit are some of the coolest cultures out the here, right next to Japanese. Their commitment to stay cold-headed and be hard working is something to we should all aspire to achieve.

New comment by jWhick in "What age is optimal for pregnancy? (study)"

jWhick — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 12:25:46 +0000

not rly, it is an American study, so it should target Americans, However it is a valid concern/hypothesis that women which give birth younger tend to be of lower health overall due to various socioeconomic conditions.

New comment by jWhick in "Should I open source my company? (2022)"

The author is clearly a utopist, advertising and trying to promote his own oss views. However, while oss has its growing niche it's clear that it isn't for everyone. The thing to ask yourself before going oss path is what are you gaining by going oss and what are you trading for that gain. For supabase it's clearly beneficial to be oss, they are a niche database, and by going oss they can benefit a lot from integrations, not to mention they are basically ripping off the evil firebase. So by going oss they are perceived as heroes. On top of that who would use another closed firebase that isn't from google? They can't compete on pricing, nor the scale. I think supabase were even advertised as open source firbase at some point.

However if you are not ripping off some popular commercial tool and making it open source, and making open source as your main differentiator, in that case there is very little to gain by going oss. You might as well get most of authors advertised "oss benefits" by just having great developer experience and docs, while giving very little in return.
