[02:04:03] <RandomFactor> Errr...the pending stories queue could use some breadcrumbs, onion, celery, salt & pepper.
[02:40:25] <Fnord666> Evening. Just getting to it
[02:40:59] <Fnord666> Thanks for the reminder though and for all of the submissions lately! Much appreciated!
[02:42:42] <Bytram> RandomFactor: what Fnord666 said... thanks for all the fish ^W story subs!
[02:43:00] <Fnord666> Evening All!!
[02:43:07] <Bytram> odding all!
[02:43:09] <Bytram> ;)
[02:43:20] <Fnord666> never odd nor even
[02:43:35] * Bytram just tossed a story in the sub queue
[02:43:40] <Fnord666> my new favorite palindrome
[02:44:16] <Fnord666> is coronavirus you get from commercial mexican beer?
[02:44:17] <Bytram> close, but not quite.
[02:44:31] <Bytram> no eye deer
[02:44:33] <Fnord666> never odd or even
[02:44:47] <Bytram> much bettah!
[02:44:59] <Bytram> I *like* t!
[02:45:02] <Bytram> I *like* it!
[02:48:27] <Fnord666> I guess the Dragon Capsule event went right today?

[02:50:32] <Bytram> Yes, it did. Complete success, from what I've read... though telemetry will need to be checked to confirm that modeling assumptions were as expected.
[02:52:31] <Fnord666> I wondered if they were going to try an eject at max-Q but it looks like they did it a bit past that
[02:53:51] <Bytram> it's a fine point but they picked the time that was most difficult for the dragon module to attempt the escape which occurred just after MAXQ, from what understand
[02:54:19] <Bytram> has to do with load on the rocket's body vs load on the fairings.
[02:54:45] <Bytram> I don't entirely understand it, but what I read made sense at the time. =)
[02:56:24] <Fnord666> 4 parachutes for the capsule, 115' across each!
[02:56:47] <Fnord666> That's a lot of of silk
[02:58:11] <Bytram> I suspect that too much is better than too little.
[02:58:27] <Bytram> but, yes, it *is* a lot of silk!
[02:59:13] <Fnord666> Definitely
[02:59:39] <Fnord666> Doesn't do any good to hit the water at 100kph
[03:00:18] <Fnord666> With the system the way it is the commentators said that the descent velocity was 25 ft/sec
[03:00:23] <Bytram> and all of that is packed into the capsule, along with the super dracos, fuel, oxidizer, machinery, life-support equipment, and some meat bags, too.
[03:01:18] <Bytram> ~17 mph
[03:01:31] <Fnord666> I wonder how that compares to Apollo?
[03:01:46] <Bytram> no idea
[03:02:28] <Fnord666> looks like 22 mph according to https://airandspace.si.edu

[03:05:46] <Fnord666> Bytram - quick question in PM
[03:11:19] <Bytram> okay, that's another story lobbed into the submissions queue.
[03:25:27] <Fnord666> =declined
[03:25:27] <systemd> Thanks for submitting this story. It appears that no editor has yet selected this story to be run. At least a week has passed since the story was submitted, and if an editor was going to have selected it, they would likely have done so by now. It has, therefore, been removed from the submission queue.
[03:25:58] <Fnord666> not you bytram, just doing some housekeeping in the submissions queue
[03:32:37] <Bytram> oh, okay
[03:34:29] * Bytram appreciates the cleanup work!
[03:38:51] <Fnord666> I need to find a good story about the .org domain registrar sale
[03:41:56] <Fnord666> The pending EFF submission is ok but definitely has an EFF leaning to it.
[03:42:51] <Bytram> we have run a few stories on it already.
[03:43:17] <Fnord666> yes we have, 4 so far that I've found since Nov
[03:43:31] <Fnord666> and the clock is ticking
[03:43:46] <Bytram> sounds about right
[03:45:00] <Fnord666> I found this part in the EFF story interesting
[03:45:03] <Fnord666> "The Internet Society (ISOC)—which has controlled .ORG for the past 16 years—and Ethos Capital are treating the .ORG registry as an asset that can be bought and sold at will. But ISOC didn’t pay to acquire the .ORG registry—indeed, PIR, the organization that was founded by ISOC to run .ORG was given $5 million to help it do so. Now, ISOC plans to profit off of the value of the registry by converting PIR into a for-pro

[03:46:47] <Fnord666> Although this fits many a business model that I've seen in academia. Develop something in academia using public/school funding, then privatize it if it gains popularity
[03:47:00] <Bytram> yep, same here
[03:47:26] <Bytram> socialize the costs, privatize the profits
[03:47:37] <Fnord666> bingo

[03:50:24] <Bytram> lol
[04:01:12] <Fnord666> Ok. I posted the story right before that so I'll update the previously section
[04:03:56] <Fnord666> The fifth one is sort of misleading in that it hadn't actually been "sold" as such
[04:04:09] <Fnord666> at least in the title it's a bit misleading
[04:04:25] <Bytram> oh, okay.
[04:06:53] <Fnord666> Probably we should have put the word sale in quotes in the title when we ran it
[04:12:57] <Bytram> hmmm, yeah. good point.
[04:13:11] <Bytram> 2020 is not just the year, it's hindsight!

[04:17:50] <Fnord666> While I'm not interested in Karpov's self promoting post for his static code analysis tool, I did find the related article interesting
[04:18:16] <Fnord666> the related article in the post that is
[04:19:08] <Bytram> yes, agreed

[16:30:34] <Fnord666> Morning Bytram. Are you posting the HP Instant Ink story?
[16:32:32] <Bytram> just did
[16:33:02] <Bytram> had a bit of a "slant" to it, so rewrote it to quote the source
[16:33:04] <Bytram> take a look
[16:33:24] <Bytram> that said, I need to leave for work within an hour.
[16:33:31] <Bytram> lateshifts--
[16:33:31] <Bender> karma - lateshifts: -1
[16:34:12] <Bytram> Will be leaving work about 10 hours from now.
[16:34:54] <Bytram> At least I have Tuesday off, but I have a bunch of household stuff I've postponed for too long :/
[16:35:19] <Bytram> I don't mind the long days; it's the short nights that are catching up with me.
[16:35:48] <Bytram> !grab Bytram
[16:35:49] <Bender> Added quote 87
[16:36:05] <Bytram> Kewel! /me was wondering if you could grab yourself
[16:36:10] <Bytram> nograb =)
[16:36:31] * Bytram hits the showers... afk biab
[16:36:59] <Bytram> btw we are still on weekend story spacing today until Tuesday 0000 UTC
[16:37:03] <Bytram> laters!
[16:39:36] <Fnord666> lol
[16:39:42] <Fnord666> laters!
[16:53:04] <Fnord666> I agree re the slant on the story
[16:54:06] <Fnord666> The title should be more like "Customer joins subscription based ink cartridge program and reduced price printer, then gets upset when it stops working when he cancels his subscription"
[17:01:41] <Fnord666> Dude bought a really cheap printer; Cheap because it's tied to a subscription service for the ink.
[17:02:12] <Fnord666> He cancels the subscription service and is then surprised that the printer doesn't just keep working.
[17:03:47] <Fnord666> He probably subscribed to Amazon Prime Video, bought the Amazon FireTV stick to watch it, then complained when he cancelled the video service and wasn't able to keep watching movies.
[17:10:15] <Fnord666> Probably not the best comparison but still

[17:26:43] <Fnord666> And to be clear, the printer will not print USING THE INK CARTRIDGES PROVIDED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION PLAN after you cancel it. He can go out and by normal replacement cartridges for that same printer and they will work just fine
