There is a clear difference drawn here between a team manager and a team leader, the latter being able to actually handle persons tone, manner of speaking, their emotions, without fear of ruining their whole own day.

Asking accomplished individuals about whether they regret working too hard is sooooo biased.

There is nothing to hate here. I have given numerous PIP's as a manager and only actually fired once. The purpose of a PIP is to improve, not to fire a person.

It looks like the person doing the copying didn't even bother to change the pictures properly (the background does not match). So I think if your great project lives on, this copy work is going to be just a bad and unsuccessful fork, maybe even one of few. Don't spend too much effort on this and just try to focus on your own project.

Let's turn the tables around. I care about free speech but I have nothing to say. Most people don't have much to say but when they do, they need to be able to play their free speech card.

Similarly, I think most people don't have much to hide, but when they want their legitimate privacy, they should have all the tools and rights to it.

The gut feeling is that the guy was working hard but not smart enough. You can achieve positive results with this amount of work hours, but the outcome might not be in line with the teamwork or expected quality.

OpenWebRX is a good thing to start with, especially the fork at https://github.com/luarvique/openwebrx/

USA seems to be one of the least regulated countries when it comes to amateur ballooning. Under FAA rule 101 exceptions, a tiny balloon can be launched without notice, probably due to the vast geography and airspace that USA possesses. I have been doing it myself and in most of the Europe, normally, a NOTAM is required at least few days in advance and aircraft are to coordinate their actions based on the location of the balloon launch/flight path. It is nevertheless a fun, inspiring and niche hobby, when something takes off of the palm of your and and flies around the planet few days later.

Don't waste your time on banks. Just use a known and trusted investment platform.

Be cautious with banks having crazy transaction fees for generic stock. Most of them have own funds and you can purchase them for low fees, while the rest can be even at 15 EUR per single transaction.

If you are in Europe, Interactive Brokers is the most well-known and seemingly well established platform. I am still exploring it myself, but it has low purchasing fees and a lot of learning material to start from.

My father, a chemistry professor, still uses PegasusMail which has been around since approx the year 1990. He is also good at handling his mail through `pine` program over a terminal.
