Re:Would von Braun's Mars Landers Have Worked? on Thursday February 22, 2024 @02:08AM (#39464098)
To me the whole concept of this exploration is to first find good base building and fuel materials while lowering the cost of travel. Once that happens it will be very quick paced race to those materials.

Like in any other business venture this mars/interstellar is a bet, so doubts of success are natural.

Sound is supposed to be as normal, so quality & spacial and technology to deliver that as easy to use as possible

Haven’t thin/piezoelectric speakers been around for some time now without much success? What’s different now that makes them better

The discussion is pulled by big income of office space owners and builders. Secondly there is shortage of good mid and line management that cannot cope without looking over shoulder due to various reasons. Any argument to support their profit is good.
Re:Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others to join Microsoft on Monday November 20, 2023 @03:53AM (#38345000)
You might be missing the point. Those 900k$ are tied onto future company value that is based on success of its products in 2-3y horizon. Without sam and his push for products the comp may not be there… So all employees who signed up for a exponential growth will jump ship.
He is the one of two original founders :)

Counter-opinion to mainstream here: - backstabbing CEO and founder like that has very bad optics and karma - given ceo was taking part in all hiring many employees will be more attached to him, oh btw he also knows pay and structure of all - board knows they made themselves unhireable at any positions of managerial control/oversight. Rather than realize loss now they better kick the can forward - headcount fallout will only be quantified 3-6 months after Sam sets new company, current assessment is premature - for some some months company will follow momentum set by previous CEO
