It’s easy to do. Einstein did the same thing with E=mc2.
Equality is a matter of identity. Equivalence is a matter of behavior.
The speed of light is not an absolute constant as Einstein believed. C just represented the speed that light can travel as a relationship between energy and mass.
My favorite form of the equation is C equals the square root of energy divided by mass.
Behaviorally all that means is that as the energy to mass ratio goes up, the speed of light goes up. And as the mass to energy ratio goes up, the speed of light goes down. Hence time dilation, black holes, etc.
You seem to know a lot about this stuff. I have a question for you.
If fusion creates the potential for fission (radioactive waste) and radioactive waste can be used to build atomic bombs, how have we not figured out how to make mini perpetual-energy reactors?
Not a bad writer at all. And I think all the problems you describe do exist. I'm just saying keep your head up and look too the bright side.
Be happy that you have a job that compensates you well, aligns with your values, is flexible to your personal needs, allows you to grow professionally, and enables you to reach for the goals you've set while you're here on earth.
And if that doesn't describe your job, please quit and come work with us or any other company that respects you as a human being first and a sysadmin second. Life's too short to do otherwise.
I hate when I see people throwing in the towel like this.
As a two developer company with four separate products doing nearly $500k in ARR collectively, Kumu [1] is a living example that it doesn’t have to be this way.
We rely heavily on bash, docker and cloudformation.
We only use Ubuntu LTS and we lag a release behind so there are plenty of tutorials available when it comes time to upgrade.
After experimenting with backbone, coffee script, flow, vue and multiple redux libraries we’ve settled on rewriting everything in typescript and developing our own thin redux abstraction.
Embrace new tech that makes developers’ lives easier while hopefully making things more secure too.
I get it if that’s not possible in large enterprise companies, but please don’t throw all software under the bus. Software is and will always be fun and there are still fun companies to work for if you’re willing to take a little risk.
I’d argue they’re still viewing it from their own perspective, though one where they are attempting to circumvent security measures as an attacker.
I’m not talking about that kind of perspective shift. I’m talking about putting on the hat of a cold blooded killer intent on making as big a statement as possible.
Others seem to be commenting entirely from their own perspective. Try viewing this from the TSA’s or an attacker’s perspective instead and thinking about boundary layers.
In regard to the comments about disposing potentially hazardous water bottles, a TSA agent can rightfully assume that an attacker could dump the contents of said water bottle at any point before the security checkpoint, including into the public water supply. The fact they don’t attempt to prevent this from happening doesn’t make them full of shit, it actually saves tax payer dollars.
If enough people are interested I'm happy to do a webinar specifically for the HN crowd and do a deep dive on the technicals. Built on top of CouchDB and pretty neat stack overall.
It doesn't support standard UML diagrams but between sketch mode [1] [2] and icons [3] you may be pleasantly surprised. I personally use it to map out Kumu's own internal application structure and flows.
Full disclosure: I am the lead developer and cofounder of Kumu.
They're like higher-order components on steroids that handle all the heavy lifting of the logic for the component (including what _should_ be rendered) but leave the actual rendering up to you (DOM structure, style, etc).
Inflation would depend on the way labor responds. If folks continue to work the same number of hours, inflation is likely. But what if folks use the extra $1000/month to justify spending more time on non-income producing activities?
