[20:55:15] <Bytram> yes, and even mentioned the importance of setting, or least checking, your locale! (3.14 vs 3,14) !!

[23:07:53] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Fired Managers and Employees in June to Shake Up Starlink Project - http://sylnt.us
[23:19:08] <joepublic> Musk bears a striking resemblance to a sexual organ located in the lower abdominal area.
[23:29:20] <boru> Firing managers is seldom a bad thing, ime.
[23:29:37] <boru> Especially in the space industry.
[23:30:17] <hopdevil> dont blame the engineers
[23:31:16] <boru> There are plenty of bad engineers in the space industry, as well.
[23:31:33] <joepublic> "Among the fired employees" was "top designer Mark Krebs" - who said not to cut corners, but to do it right. Musk seems to have wanted to "get his way" instead.
[23:32:10] <boru> That's a common theme with Elon Musk, from what I've heard from colleagues who used to work at spacex.
