So, between the Mullenweg/Wordpress, DHH/37 Signals, and Sam Altman/OpenAI dramas, we now have pretty reliable ways for gauging the judgement and critical thinking skills of pretty any given commentator in tech.
Any podcaster or writer who defends these dudes and organisations is almost certain to not be, well, fully using what little capacity for reason nature gave them (to put it politely).
IME, if they show poor judgement on this, they almost always have poor judgement in general
"Since the [Cepheid] variables are probably at nearly the same distance from the Earth, their periods are apparently associated with their actual emission of light, as determined by their mass, density, and surface brightness."

A random Sask person emailed me with pictures of a jet contrail, asking if it was space debris. I am happy to see people looking up at the sky and asking questions to scientists. I politely answered and sent them the AMS's great explainer: https://www.amsmeteors.org/fireballs/fireball-or-contrail/
I used to get UFO reports that turn out to be a billionaire's fleet of tens of thousands of satellites, now I get people asking if they saw spacecraft debris falling on farmland!! This dystopian present is pretty wild sometimes.
@michael_w_busch@kenwhite.bsky.social Yeah, that was embarrassing for that scammer, I think. He called the house saying the city judge had signed an arrest warrant for my dad. It was for an unpaid debt, that we could clear up right there on the phone if I had a credit card handy. But my dad *was* the city judge. I imagine the other guys at the scam call center really clowning him for that.
@michael_w_busch@kenwhite.bsky.social But I tried to make it a teachable moment and have a dialog about craft. Like, did the call have to go that way? Was he really bringing his A-game, or was he just going through the motions? What would it look like if he took some pride in his work? And how did he think *I* felt, knowing that he was half-assing the scam? I deserve more than that.
Anyway, he got really flustered and hung up, after telling me his employee number was “1-2-3-4-f-u-c-k-y-o-u.”
Después de dos años, el Vega-C vuelve con éxito con la puesta en órbita del Sentinel-1C pocas horas después del lanzamiento de la misión PROBA-3. Ayer fue un gran día para la ESA.
