^^^^^^^ It really looks to me like you don't understand what is meant by the difference between a company and the government. It's about the end, not the means. All of those things things they have in common that you mentioned? That's just the mechanism they both use to achieve entirely different goals: Profit for the company versus security and well being of the people for the government.

^^WTF?? Check that again. I said it's the END that makes businesses and government different, not the means; we're not even referring to that. And you're back on the means again? That's the irrelevant part. What comes OUT is what makes them different; what goes in is the irrelevant part. Read it again but more slowly this time. 2/23/2025 7:44:46 PM

^^ I made a case and you brought up micromanaging which is not related but I could see the confusion. I'm not interested on having a conversation about what micromanaging is and is not.
Either: - the government is easily destroyed by a 19 year old with root
- these guys are so awesome they figured out how to pwn the entire government
Which is it?
The government clearly has overlap with some of the functions of other organizations. Maybe you think it's 10% or maybe 90%. Saying, hur dur, a company is not the government is not interesting. Maybe explain how various parts, like the ones I mentioned are some magic type of organization which does not apply to the normal rules of getting human beings together and doing things. 2/23/2025 8:09:10 PM

(sigh)...You're still not getting it, and we're back to square one now. Nobody said, "hur dur, a company is not the government". What was said is that it's moronic to run a government like a business. In other words, not as a for profit entity. Nothing you have said seems relevant to that at all. 2/23/2025 8:24:31 PM

^^ if I use it I quote like I did above.
Those tools don't actually work.
For profit entities have functions that mirror non profits and government. Both use computers and databases. What functions of running a database do you think are magic when a government does it? Could a database expert in the private sector work in a government agency or does the fact the government is nonprofit change the nature of what they do?
Now going up a level, does a team of designers, database people and backend devs managed by a technology manager to maintain this database system somehow differ from such a team in the for profit sector?

Well, it did say a recent non-quoted multi-paragraph post by you (in this thread) had essentially a 100% confidence level of being AI-generated, and an adjacent multi-line post by me had essentially a 100% confidence level of being human-generated, so there's that.
Perhaps you have become fully assimilated without realizing and are now one with AI.
But I also don't know why you would bother with AI responses at all on a web forum. It seems like a colossal waste of time. Your posts are not even you. What's the point? The massive dump of generated content also makes it much less likely it will even be read, largely defeating the purpose of forum interaction. 2/24/2025 7:01:05 AM

Even on the Nazi stuff, maybe it's just the American in me speaking, but the extent to which they made anything related to it completely taboo... it's not healthy or sustainable, right (don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to diminish how evil the nazis were or anything, but I'm saying this can be irrespective of that)? Like if you hold guilt in it can turn ugly, and eventually, people will be redirect the guilt outwards and completely flip

To be honest, it's quite easy to be vitriolic against the likes of people like Cael. His libertarian schtick is beyond lame, and it surely doesn't help (and it's very weird) that he posts huge walls of obviously AI-generated text to try to "prove" his "points"
And I really can't understand why someone would bend over backwards trying to defend Musk's actions.

^^ going all the way back to page 2. I am not defending. The take that Elon was an idiot is beyond fucking stupid. I said fuck with him at your peril (politicians and people thinking he was just shit posting).
The government will look way different now because of his involvement. There are departments of sections of the government that will benefit from a shake up. I'm optimistic.
However, if the only way he can get to Mars is by turning us all into spice for a rocket that mother fucker will do it and not shed a tear of empathy for it. I do not see that as a good thing.

^ I think most people know that, it's just anger against what he's doing. Even though you're just summarizing the situation, that's why people get the impression that you're defending him, cause the soapbox is used a ton to just blow off steam, not make actual arguments. sometimes discussion is pointless from both ends

I’m not a fan of any of this shit that’s going on. Musk needs to be gone.
He’s taking a chainsaw to a surgery that needs a scalpel. I don’t even think Donald Trump is in charge anymore at this point. The right was convinced that people were just pulling Biden’s strings. Look at Trump. Who TF is pulling his?
Did we need to trim the fat off of the government? Absolutely. Do we need to do it this way? Absolutely not.

I stated my experiences with it in orgs and said it's done at the department level.
Looking at any objective measure of government spending, money printing and inability to finish projects (like 47 billion for non existent EV chargers, failed broadband attempts) you would conclude they need some accountability. One way that accountability works is by weekly business reviews.
If you want to explain how that's not viable by all means. .

^^^I guess it needs repeating: audits are fine. Figuring ways to increase efficiency and root-out waste is fine. But this isn't the way to do it. Elon and his DOGE gang are not the way to do it. Sending out weird, threatening emails (some from non-government email addresses) is not the way to do it. Treating Federal employees like parasites and idiots (both in public and in emails) is not the way to do it.
An email from employer asking you to track your accomplishments is fine. Receiving weird, threatening emails from the Elon and his DOGE gang is not.

This is insane. This contract, FENS, was awarded to Verizon in 2023 for 2.4 Billion. It is currently in development. My company actually lost the bid for this particular contract...but anyhow...
It's crazy that the FAA is looking to cancel this contract prematurely, and award it to Starlink. Starlink, who wasn't part of the initial bid, has little to no Air Traffic experience, and is promising a quick development and deployment is going to essentially be awarded a single source contract. Aside from the fact that the U.S. Government is going to get sued into oblivion for cancelling this contract, and lose badly in court, this just stinks of rank corruption and self dealing on Elon Musk's part. 2/27/2025 12:31:31 PM
