Mebbe I’m just an idiot, but can’t log in for my kbin.social account? Not in Thunder either.

Pretty sure you’d only have to spin half that fast, you’d get two magnetic cycles per rotation. Though if you flipped one of the magnets (or better yet, removed one) you’d need the 1575+ million rotations but get a stronger radiation (I think, though not positive).

Electricity isn’t the same as electromagnetic radiation. A varying magnetic field induces a varying electric field which radiates into space as an EM wave. See Maxwell’s equations.

I fully agree with this article. Some years back I even left an employer for a lesser position specifically because they went from cubicles to open office. That kind of caused the company some problems as they were under contract with a tight delivery date, I was then the center of some engineering developments and they didn’t actually have anyone else at the time capable of stepping into those particular developments. I literally couldn’t think straight while crowded in the open with 40 other engineers and felt constantly exhausted. Some people just don’t do well in crowds, and management that treats employees like Lego blocks isn’t going to keep any competitive edge it might have.

But Elon probably routinely has lost that much most times he’s posted dumb stuff on Twitter himself. Hard to meaningfully fine a multi billionaire. But apparently he caved before the government got to really trying.

He expects them to pledge loyalty to him.

It’s much better now, but at the first I gave up because I couldn’t figure out how to even sign up due to the rather poor web design. And I’m a programmer.

This was a LONG time ago, but… I was an electronics tech without a job. I managed to talk to (not interview with) an executive at a company I wanted to work at but wasn’t encouraged. He said something on the order of “Maybe later” and that was enough. He (or rather, his secretary) started to get calls from me every Monday and Wednesday morning right at their opening time to check whether Later might be now. Most of the time I was told he was busy. But after about a month they finally had me come in for an interview. I don’t know if they were just tired of my calls or if they were impressed with my diligence. I was hired, and worked there for the next 14 years.

Yup, but still might work. It was a small company (at least was when I started) though. This won’t work at Apple or Northrop or places like that.
