SpaceX has been paid on delivery of promised services, and their success rates are much higher. That’s the opposite of control; that’s the government stepping back from owning a company’s costs. Seems to work a lot better than the tight relationship Boeing and government have.

It’s not a proxy war between Russia and the US. It’s a proxy war between China and the US.

Russia and Ukraine are the pawns

I’m not an expert either and I could have predicted the invasion based on:

  • huge buildup of troops in preparation for invasion
  • 8 years prior they had invaded after saying they wouldn’t

So basically, any time a company lets people go that’s stealing, and you want there to be a court thing that judges whether any particular loss was due to mismanagement or “genuine misfortune”?

That seems like a pretty extreme response to high delivery fees don’t you think?

Making money by facilitating deals and delivery. Sounds to me like everybody wins.

They need access to a better place. I suppose they just get financially stuck in S Korea? Or do the move on to other countries too, more willing to give them a chance?

Every picture of Putin and Kim together just looks like an adult tricking a kid.

intensely_human , to Ask Lemmy in How far in advance do you usually plan vacations?

It’s true. Everybody has been to Thailand.

Also, I agreed to only take 2/3 of my salary until a funding round came in. The promise was as soon as that hit, I’d go to 100% of our agreed salary.

Funding was eventually secured (thanks in no small part to me) and they tried to say “we’ll see” on the salary increase, so I just quit.

intensely_human , to Ask Lemmy in How do unpitched percussion instruments not have a pitch and how does whatever noise they produce not potentially create dissonance with the music they complement?

If you don’t already play with Ableton Live I highly recommend it. It’s got tons of signal-altering filters that you can chain together into pipelines and it’s great for developing an intuitive understanding of the connections between signal, waveform, sound, and perception.

intensely_human , to Ask Lemmy in How do unpitched percussion instruments not have a pitch and how does whatever noise they produce not potentially create dissonance with the music they complement?

Unpitched percussion instruments do have a pitch. Basically like everything else other than a sine wave generator, their sound is complex.

If you look at the fourier transform view of the signal, you’ll see a peak. Generally speaking that peak is the tone the thing makes.

This is why one recommended step in something like Ableton Live is to put a shaping filter on the drums, and then tweak the peak of that filter up and down until the drums either match or complement the tones of the notes.

intensely_human , to Ask Lemmy in How far in advance do you usually plan vacations?

I don’t. Sometimes I do an airport dropoff and then I head toward the waiting lot. But as I’m approaching the lot I just go to long term
parking instead, buy a ticket, and live in Thailand for a few weeks.
