IMO some people take this too literally. Just because you want to be treated a certain way doesn’t mean other people want to be treated that way.

I’m not disagreeing, just saying China isn’t the only country with worse working conditions than the US. From a global perspective things are actually pretty good in the US.

…and most other countries that aren’t in Europe.

Depression isn’t the same thing as sadness, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it disqualifies someone from being an astronaut. Most people don’t have depression, but everyone feels sadness at some point in their lives.

To answer your question, astronauts are trained to work under extreme stress, so they would know how to compartmentalize the pain and focus on completing the mission. Similar to soldiers.

Nothing to worry about unless you’ve signed a contract with someone. Normally when you sign with a record label you’re selling them the rights to your music, so they could sue you if you try to give it away or sell it without them being involved. Record labels are known to be pretty predatory…

Not entirely true… If you write libraries for other developers you can use them as beta testers. Your customers have a production environment, but you don’t. At least, that’s what one of our vendors seems to think…

If your server goes down you’ll miss incoming emails, and IMO residential ISP and power service isn’t reliable enough for your main email address. If mail can’t get delivered people get the impression you gave them a fake email address, which can be more than embarrassing.

It’s the only service I don’t self-hosted, although I do backup my email on my home server. Email protocols don’t tolerate downtime, if your server is temporarily unreachable you won’t get messages and people will probably assume the email address/domain isn’t even valid.

This doesn’t answer OP’s question, but since other people might be interested, MIT also has free graduate level courses. If you choose to pay for a certificate of completion for the courses then they can also count as credits towards a degree at MIT, Harvard, etc.

Even 5 minutes seems short. You’re already dead, what’s the rush?

Doesn’t mbin federate with Mastodon? I’ve been thinking about moving to an mbin server for that reason…

Like someone who doesn’t want to be there

Only 190 showed up to vote, out of 300. Keep in mind the military had declared the parliament session illegal and soldiers were ordered to arrest anyone participating. IIRC only 18 or so of the 190 who showed up to vote were from the conservative party.

Hard to find a way to make a living without supporting an unethical agenda, unfortunately.

Thanks for clarifying.

Still not sure what you’re talking about… Is someone going to ask IA for payment related to the zendesk email?

Are you saying the person who sent the zendesk email is going to try to get IA to hire them for something? I’m not sure I follow…

No. And it’s hard to call the zendesk one a hack, even. They just used the same credentials that were leaked a couple weeks before.

Why do you think you’d hear about it?

That depends on your OPSEC.
