TIL about Kett's Rebellion!

Led by Robert Ket, himself a landowner, a rebel army of sixteen thousand peasants captured Norwich, England’s second-largest city. They set up their “court” on Mousehold Heath outside the city, where they maintained their cause for six weeks. They demanded that “lords, knights, esquires, and gentlemen” be stopped from commercial stock-raising, and rent-gouging, and from privatizing common lands. We can agree with Bindoff that this was “a radical programme, indeed, which would have clipped the wings of rural capitalism.”

-- Theodore W. Allen, The Invention of the White Race vol. 2

When I graduated as an engineer, a friend told me "How do you feel entering a plane when you know that people like us build it".

I’ve worked several years in the automotive industry and saw how software was done there.

When the 737-MAX crashed, I entered into the rabbit-hole and built a really good understanding of the software issue.

The result are:

- I don’t board a boeing plane anymore.
- I avoid cars as much as I can.
- I be sure to recommend cars with the less possible software.

I will now create a cognitive test for those who need one.

1- Explain how you can tell that one person is more intelligent than another. Be sure to define the word "intelligence" as part of your answer.

2- What is the next number in this sequence: 1024, 512, 256, 128, _________ .

Wahoo--dinner time! I think two questions are plenty. Don't want to stress the cogs.

After a week long gap in resupply flights we had two LC-130 aircraft on the deck yesterday at NPX South Pole Station. I've been supporting flight following in the comms office where it went from boring to busy *very* quickly.

We've had a few centimetres of snow in the last 24 hours, but it's barely below freezing.

He’s right, you know.

FYI cis women/fems in tech - it's not just in your head. Misogyny is EXTREMELY real ALL OVER THE PLACE here. Having been the EXACT SAME PERSON with EVEN MORE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE in tech both BT/AT (Before tits/After tits), the amount of second guessing and pushback and mansplaining, and being told I'm "too emotional" or "I should be more polite" and whatever else has gone up DRAMATICALLY.

Seriously.

PS: And it's not just from men either. I've probably received at least as much misogyny from women in tech as I have men.

@neil Not sure, but I do know they have multiple processors.... they run on 8 ARMs

Przypadek pierwszy - Przychodnia Weterynaryjna Sp z o.o., dawniej LuxVet a w międzyczasie bodaj LuxVet Edina. Od zawsze przyjmuje u nich najlepszy w Warszawie (a ponoć w Polsce) typ od USG. Jakiś czas temu kupiła ich ta cała Edina, czy jak im tam - to jest takie korpo weterynaryjne, które kupuje konkurencje a potem zamyka, a że w tej dzielnicy mają już przychodnię to tak też zrobili z LuxVetem. Może z miesiąc później ten typ od USG do spółki z drugim zajebistym lekarzem i topową warszawską okulistką wrócili na miejsce i zatrudnili całą oryginalną ekipę, parę miesięcy później mają już ze dwa razy tyle osób. W zdjęcia nie umiem, musi starczyć. Cc @8petros @frankboon
