  • Yeah you’re just meat and bone to a recruiter. They have monthly quotas and will pull any old shit to hit them, just like any salesman.

    I knew guy in boot camp that had a 4 yr degree. The recruiter had convinced him that he should enlist as a medical corpsman to get college money to become a doctor. The bullshit here is that the military will 100% prepay for your medical degree as long as you commit to a commision as an officer in the military as a doctor afterwards.

    This was in the initial “intake” part of boot camp, so I dont know how it ended up for him, but the drill sergeants, who were not kind during the rest of the experience, were absolutely incensed at what happened to him. They were absolutely livid. Hopefully someone got him into the officer path that was available to enlisted and got him out of there, but some recruiter likely fucked over years of this guys life just to hit a qouta.








  • That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page at least. Hopefully lemmy can implement something similair.

    I would reduce the distinctiveness of the threads, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on the topic same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.







  • SpaceX isn’t an Uber model, its a goverment leech model. It’s had heavily, heavily goverment subsidies to the tune of 18 billion dollars over its 10yr lifetime.

    Terminal prices are likely just an economy of scale issue. Much cheaper per unit to make 100,000 than 1,000. Im sure as eutelsat grows the prices will come down.

    If Eutelsat and the EU rocket program get 18 billion in goverment investment like SpaceX, im betting they can also accelerate all of the above.

    SpaceX doesnt have a moat, it just has the lead. Rocket labs in new Zealand is already hot on their tails. No reason the EU cant join or surpass them.





  • That dude was a special kind of stupid. The attack script had his name on it, usee his account status as the trigger, and was running from his laptop. It attacked other peoples profiles and was extremely explicit in being designed to revenge his firing.

    There are for sure idiots in infosec, but when your job is working to close holes and gaps, it gets pretty easy to learn what to “forget” about if you want to cause devastation in a deniable way. There are so, so many ways to fuck this job up, doing it on purpose would be a cake walk.
