ITT: People who doesn’t read the article. These science institutions shouldn’t be used for fucking politics.
I wonder if something from the list published in this article has any relation to science or space. Yeah sure, let’s go with “DEI and other Inclusivity programs are NECESSARY for space survival”. I wonder what’s the objective of NASA.
Lol don’t worry, this Astronaut knows pronouns. /s
These science institutions shouldn’t be used for fucking politics.
You’d think, huh? Daamn, that’s crazy
Bro, if you’re going to be sarcastic, at least try to sound smart. You just need to read the title to see its fucking propaganda from the opposition.
fucking propaganda
Damn, really? That’s craaaazy.
Yet you still act like a fucking moron, what is your secret?
Do you also read articles and form an opinion of your own?
Damn, really? That’s craaaazy.
Cracking on with the important shit, I see.
Janet Petro—the first woman to hold the position since its founding 67 years ago—wrote that diversity programs “divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination,”
In 2021, when she was the director of Kennedy Space Center, she spoke at length in an interview about the value of diversity, saying “our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility has been paramount to mission success.”
The turnaround is giving me whiplash.
There’s no begrudging following of the rules, it’s wholeheartedly embracing the new regime.
The quote from the email isn’t her words. They were given to her (and all agency heads) to send out to their workforce to implement the EO. It should not be taken as “embracing the new regime”.
She sent the email. They’re her words now.
Boomers are natural bootlickers, no conviction… She says what gets her a head.
Also shouldnt she be in a fema camp instead of leeching on federal budget?
I thought those fucking cretins were supposed to be reducing government waste. How is forcing agencies to paint over murals with positive vibes and update their website to remove magic words a good use of their time and money?
because it’s not and never was about that and by the time everyone else realises it will be too late to stop it without great effort
If you have the funds, please support Internet Archives.
With internet archive head quarters being in the US what would happen if the administration went after them? Would people from other countries be able to keep the project going?
That’s unfortunately a very valid point. Iirc the big problem IA has is the sheer amount of disk space required to store everything.
I wish I had the necessary petabytes of storage to at least store an offline copy. I wonder how many disks that would be and how redundant disks you’d need.
Here’s this from 2021. They say they have about 200PB of raw storage across some 20k spinning drives at the time of writing (with more being added constantly, about 25%/yr), and capacities are mixed from 4TB to 16TB, across 750 servers housed on about 75 racks. I have 6x16TB WD red pros that ran me about $355/ea new with tax, and my bill was a smidge over $2100. Assuming you used all 16TB, you’d need about 12,500 16TB disks, which would run you about $4,437,500 without a bulk discount. How much of that is redundancy I’m not sure, but that’s just HDDs, not the hardware to actually run everything between storage enclosures, OS, disks, memory, clustering, etc. They say they say a single copy with 16TB drives would be about 15 racks., but how that breaks down I’m not sure.
I once made this calculation for a database of 700Tb, even that blew my mind 🤣
We need to distribute all that data, for the sake of history in the future. Data hoarding and torrenting is a service to humanity.
This is definitely the most important thing for the country and for human space exploration as a whole.

Imagine dreaming to fly to space only to be denied having it because you also cared about the rights of indigenous people.
They’re getting ready to colonize
GazaKlandathu. They can’t be caring about the indigenous life. /s
I am sure all of them have the skills set and accounts to spend all day for this…
Headline is hyperbolic
it has the GitHub change log in the article, so yes they did have the skill set and accounts, made the changes and posted the receipts
(?!?!?!?)
Some tech workers*
literally one hour ago you used the same grammatical synecdoche of inferring a subset of the group by referring to the group noun demonym:

I am a shit poster, sir
Not a Journalist
Seen you about, you’ve got some good takes, some bad takes, and some absolutely mindbogglingly daft takes.
From what I’ve seen, you are, in fact, a Shit Poster. And while I’ve not scrolled through your entire history, I’m fairly confident that you never claimed you weren’t a hypocrite.
Fair play.
It ain’t much, but it is honest work.
