I’m using a Sony ZV-1 in a SmallRig camera cage, attached to an HDMI capture device. It’s a step below a DSLR, also in price, but it makes a huge difference to the quality and I get frequent comments about the “AWMAHGAWD amazing set up you’ve got, look at how crisp it is!” when I join meetings. The lens is really open and it captures a lot of detail. By far the best compact/quality setup I’ve found.

“Sophisticated scripts to scour pirate sites”.

I think we’ve just found a new tagline for radarr and sonarr.

Wow 🤣 I am not sure what happened there. Should have been PORK barrel politics.

I’m also intrigued. Clearly things are more exciting at NASA than I thought.

That might be true. But every organisation has to achieve its goals in the context that it exists. And to be fair to NASA they’ve realised it’s better to outsource development because it’s less prone to porn barrel politics.

No they’re somehow managing to blow it neither launching nor exploding rockets.

I mean you can giggle at the turn of phrase, but clearly what is meant is to be more willing to tolerate risk. Very clearly that’s been a much shorter path to success than the one NASA took.

Yes it went so well with innovation from NASA’s existing practice.

Monitoring employees in this way is just the shittiest shit of all the shit. Surely they can assess output in a different way?

Agreed there is a mix of things Google can do to remain attractive. But at the core, Google has to be a better investment than something else to remain invested into.

Agreed you have to trust them. However, I suspect GDPR punishments keep them to their word.

Once you’ve gone public, unless some entity could do an offer to take you private, you have investors (aka owners).

To take Google private would be in the region of 2.5 trillion dollars. Even the Norwegian oil fund would struggle to do that.

You’re arguing against the world that is. I’m just trying to explain the behaviour, not necessarily condone it.

A pension fund manager may not move in and out of stocks on a daily basis, but at some point they’re going to take a look at how their portfolio is doing and react.
