As I said, the results work for me, so I couldn't care less about the code.

That's why I shoot both, RAW and JPG. If the JPG is fine, I use that (after sensor spots and so on).

RAW files always looked washed out, by nature that is. If they don't, whatever software you use applied presets.

You can set presets, I don't. Because the jpeg version doesn't have to be the "right" version of the photo (there actually is no such thing as right, hence my preference to start from a pure raw file).

Fair enough, quite often I use the camera generated jpgs as well.

How exactly does a RAW file look wrong? Before editing, I assume.

I don't care about developer beef at open spurce peojects. I don't care neither about the techical finesse behind software or tools I use. What I care about is the results from using said tools. And so far, darktable doesn't disappoint.

ansel propably won't neither.

The Bavarian: So konnst des a segn. German: So kann man das auch sehen

It looses a lot in writing, and I suck in writing Bavarian.

It can also be used to end a discussion by signaling agreement on disagreement.

One example, sorry for the bad translation from Bavarian, would be: "You can see it that way (as well)". Which can basically mean, a) you might actually have a point or b) you are dead wrong.

Even YCs application includes the option to show examples of hacking processes. Good managers and C-Level people do that qiuite often.

If that is the case for you, consider yourself lucky. And for once, this comment isn't containing even trace amounts of sarcasm.

Based on what financial statements do we know FTX was profitable? Also, the stole customer funds.

Only that Theranos product was techically impossible. Which makes the whole thing even crazier, nobody did even the slightest due dilligence there. Seems to be par of th cours so, other exhibits are FTX and WeWork.

No, not really. Not even remotely. Business is ruthless, that's fine. It has to stay clear of fraud and deception. And funny enough, most old school companies do, mowt of the time.

That's what happens when you raise a red flag on top of large building, and paint the building red afterwards just to be sure everyone notices it.

I loved that piece, and the fact that it was removed soon after.

That's what internal controls are there for to prevent. Especially for owner-CEOs. FTX set up shop somewhere in the carribean just to avoid that kind of oversight and control. I can hardly imagine a bigger red flag than that.

That people just accept that founder CEOs are allowed to do everything with their companies, and their companies money, is troubling. Because, as soon as said company is a seperate legal entity, it is the companies assets and not the founders anymore.

Maybe even CompSci graduates shoupd get some basics of business, legal and ethics during their studies.

Tesla is a tech company, not a car manufacturer -> common reasoning for Tesla market cap

You already mentioned WeWork. FTX is another example. Given how few "tech" start-ups and big tech companies actually produce technology as their core product, I guess the sentiment of SBF and FTX being somewhat symptomatic is fair.

First, a university is great by doing great stuff and producing great graduates. Then those great graduates confirm the greatness of the university. And then, ultimately, graduates are great simply by coming from an university that once did great things.
