Sadly, my experience led me to believe that most people are more willing to work for someone telling them what to do than they are for themselves.
I might argue that most people don’t really know how to handle autonomy. We’re all trained to follow orders and probably have to be trained on how to work otherwise. It’s a huge culture shock.
I’m often not sure at what point my authority/autonomy ends and my boss’ begins. And we have a clean top-down structure.
EDIT: I’m like 90% sure I’m remembering Purism here, not System 76.
I want them to succeed (and open source hardware in general), but I got burnt by one of their early ones. A complete lemon of a laptop. I’ve had better build quality out of Acer.
I was pleasantly surprised by my OG Framework DIY laptop though. They’re doing great work.
DNA still blows my mind. Some weird simple molecules that just happen to like to link together have become the encoding of how complex biological systems are constructed. Then mash two separate sets of DNA together, add a little happenstance, and you have another new being from those three things you mentioned.
Frequency hopping as I understand it, is just multiple transceivers agreeing to cycle through different previously agreed upon frequencies to communicate. I don’t get the music analogy.
Much of science is broke/underfunded and home computers have collectively a shit load of idle computing power on traditional processors and GPUs which are harder to get and more expensive in DCs. The idea of distributed computing for science is sound.
I was mostly disillusioned by the lack of feeling of participation or accomplishment.
I think most people aware of Hikvision at this point understand the lack of privacy and security. This seems to take it up to a new level though with their software being used to distribute hacked material obtained by bad actors.

Why the fuck are people comfortable putting cloud based cameras in their homes? There is literally no positive tradeoff for that security risk and the loss of privacy.
Back before Reddit had a crosspost feature, we’d just repost it to another sub with [x-post] in the title and post a link to the previous post in the comments.
That was kind of my first thought as well. Boots are important for soldiers. I slightly doubt it because of how clean they are for a previously used camp. Also not really sure what the four cross-blocks on the top would be for.
Maj. Gen. Leonid Kosinsky, an assistant to Belarus’ defense minister, told international reporters that Wagner troops could use the former Belarusian army camp near Tsel, about 90 kilometers (about 55 miles) southeast of Minsk.
From the source article, suggests it was a previously used camp. Though I guess it could be new setup on the base or something.

What are some tips for dealing with solicitors (door-to-door salespeople)? Our neighborhood gets a lot of them.
We have a “No solicitors” sign hanging on the front door. Nevertheless, they knock, ring the doorbell, or worse, yell through the front window when it is open, trying to get our attention.
We have a Ring video doorbell and have enabled the automatic “Sorry, we’re not interested” announcement after 15 seconds. These pushy SOBs ignore the sign and the announcement.
When I ultimately find out they are soliciting and I ask why they ignored both the sign and the doorbell announcement, they usually say something like, “I’m not selling anything. I am just working with some people in the neighborhood…” or some such BS.
My wife and I work from home and have had to explain the window shouting to coworkers in meetings. We also have two small children who could be trying to nap at any given time. We have good reasons to not want to be disturbed at home and these assholes disregard that wish.
I will write a negative review online if I find out their name and company they are representing. Any other ways to get these people to leave us alone?
