What's your definition of a wealthy person? Sure, Bezos is rich, but where do you put the threshold?

Jump

  • My definition is rich is similar to that, a person that can go through it's day to day life without thinking about money is wealthy.

    If you can go grocery shopping, buy the clothes you need, and maintain your house without having to make compromises because your budget is tight then for me you are rich.

    • Considering the Prusa CORE One as first printer - any reason to reconsider?

    Jump

  • I think the Core ONE will be an excellent way to start 3D printing.

    I was in the same situation a year ago and got a MK4 kit with enclosure and I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

    • Canada euthanasia now accounts for nearly one in 20 deaths

    Jump

  • One step at the time.

    Making euthanasia legal for people with terminal illness is already hard enough and I'm glad it is now possible in a lot of countries.

  • My first memory with a computer was playing (more like trying to play) Microsoft flight simulator 1.0 on a Macintosh when I was around 8-9. The thing that looks like that:

    I only started using Linux when installed dual boot Ubuntu on the family computer around 14-15.

  • He should be easy to identify then, just go through the data of United healthcare and find the list of people who have been denied life saving treatment.

    It should not be to long.

    • What's your "weird flex"?

    Jump

  • Unrelated but I felt really proud the first time I had an inner monologue in English (not my first language).

    Now I realize that my inner monologue language switch according to the context, if I'm thinking about family it will be in French, thinking about work and it switch to English.

    • Un-enshittified Bluetooth earbuds?

    Jump

  • Fairphone is making easy to repair earbuds just under $150. You should probably have a look at them of you want a pair of earbuds that last.

    Jump

  • SpaceX exists only because of NASA.

    The Merlin engine is based on an engine developed by NASA, they even started by buying the exact same turbopumps directly from NASA's subcontractor

    The initial funding from Musk ($100 million) allowed SpaceX to develop the Falcon 1, in 2008 they only reached orbit on its 4th attempt. At this point they had no money left, a small rocket with a terrible track record and no customers for it.

    3 months later NASA awarded a $1.6 billion contract to SpaceX for the ISS resupply ! This is what allowed then to continue and develop the Falcon 9.

    • Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?

    Jump

  • If Germany can't use the bomb without the US approbation then Germany does not have a nuclear bomb.

    Germany does not have a credible deterrence.

    • Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?

    Jump

  • France and the US are the only two NATO countries able to build nukes.

    Theoretically the UK are able to build nukes too but not without US support.

  • This is there title from a Blomberg article:

    SpaceX’s Secret Weapon Is Gwynne Shotwell

    She launches spaceships, sells rockets, and deals with Elon Musk.

    I think it's that, she is one is there most influential person that made SpaceX successful.

    Cybertruck is what happen when people don't say no to Musk.

    • Linux 6.13 Staging Clears Out 107k Lines Of Code From Old & Unmaintained Drivers

    Jump

  • From another article

    The GDM724x is removed for supporting the GCT GDM724x LTE chip based USB modem devices. This driver was merged back in 2013 but is being removed now as the driver isn't being maintained and yields a maintenance workload, the manufacturer GCT doesn't respond to any emails/support, there doesn't appear to be any of the said chips easily available for purchase, there is not any hardware documentation available, and no apparent usage of this driver remaining in the Linux community. Removing the driver clears out 3.6k lines of code and lowers the maintenance burden for other kernel developers.

    There was also a vulnerability discovered in July linked to this driver.

    So yeah I understand that they chose to remove some drivers from the kernel.

  • Not really, buying 2nd hand implies that people still buy 1st hand. The second hand market is subsidizing the 1st hand market.
