Feels like now we're just redefining our rules so that the people we don't like are out and the people we like are in. Does the content creator have the right to determine how their work is used or not?
What's the worst-case scenario they're trying to avoid from being 100% dependent on SpaceX? Perhaps it's something like the present scenario. If the vaccine is as bad as the disease, then skip the vaccine and just chance it.
Huh? Isn't the right interpretation that they are 100% dependent on SpaceX right now, in the present scenario, but simply pretending otherwise? The facts are what they are.
The reason one spaceship is better than another isn't a management or strategy problem. It is what it is. There's no decision here that changes whether or not Starliner is a shitty spaceship. It might look like it does.
Is NASA management is personally going to be assembling and running the plans? One interpretation is that they will now (?). Another is that is already happening and they are sucking at it, and that is SpaceX's opportunity in a nutshell.
If the government wants better spaceships, it has to occasionally buy them in politically unideal circumstances. It is that simple. Sometimes it will take longer to turn some senator's state into a manufacturing powerhouse than we will have political appetite to sustain all the failures on that journey. The fact that it's not an economic problem, that no amount of money can turn around Boeing, is bad, and that's why I am surprised. Any honest interpretation of the facts makes NASA, a bunch of civil service people, look like they are delaying the inevitable to benefit no one.
It's too bad that asking "source?" comes across as hostile unless clarified to be otherwise. Maybe the internet should adopt something similar to the "/s" tag that signals that sentiment.
Asking for any sort of clarifying information inevitably leads to argumentation on Reddit. It’s like we’ve all learned to be so polite that the truth barely matters (I’m exaggerating of course).
I agree with both sides here. :) DS should own experimentation, AND engineers should be able to run a majority of experiments independently.
As a data scientist at a "blue chip company", my team owns experimentation, but that doesn't mean we run all the experiments. Our role is to create guidelines, processes, and tooling so that engineers can run their own experiments independently most of the time. Part of that is also helping engineers recognize when they're dealing with a difficult/complex/unusual case where they should bring DS in for more bespoke hands-on support. We probably only look at <10% of experiments (either in the setup or results phase or both), because engineers/PMs are able to set up, run, and draw conclusions from most of the experiments without needing us.
It can be one way for many subs, and another way for others. Go to a sub that deals with controversial issues, find a threat with a lot of deleted posts, and look up that thread on unddit.com. Often times you will see mods deleting all dissenting opinions and not allow any discussion about it to even take place.
The masses got stampeded into supporting the protest because people like to feel that they're taking part in some righteous battle. Sucks for spez that he got outmaneuvered by a cabal of mods who derive their feeling of importance (and oftentimes a side income) from having control over a bunch of popular subreddits who are upset that their status is being threatened. Hope Reddit comes out of this alright.
Not a mod, or even a power user, but I hope reddit dies. They seem hell-bent on making the experience of using their site as shitty as possible. The sooner communities move to alternatives that don't treat users like shit, the better.
