08:18 schestowitz;

08:18 schestowitz; Similar to how the International Space Station maintains its orientation, the teams scaled prototype system relies on a rotating flywheel that generates large amounts of angular momentum in a certain axis. A brushless DC motor and driver are responsible for spinning up the circular mass, while a servo motor on one side rotates the cradle to the desired angle. All of this is done with an Arduino Uno that

08:18 schestowitz; monitors the boats current orientation by taking measurements from an IMU.

19:02 schestowitz; re Richard Graveley

19:02 schestowitz; [19:46] Alex's dad was a navy coderr

19:02 schestowitz; [19:46] Then he started a tech company in the 90s

19:02 schestowitz; [19:46] And then he used that money to become a venture capitalist

19:02 schestowitz; [19:47] The longer history of their family is a bit mysterious to me my understanding is the cult separated them from the extended family

19:02 schestowitz; "Managing Principal at Graveley Capital Management, LLC"

19:02 schestowitz; I hope it is WELL established by now that Team Mono does NOT use GNU/Linux. They don't care about GNU/Linux either. They're Microsoft pushers.

19:02 schestowitz; [19:51] thanks, but back to technical aspects

19:02 schestowitz; [19:51] notably github

19:02 schestowitz; [19:51] did he ever mention mono by name?

19:02 schestowitz; [19:52] I asked him if he still used to linux on his laptop

19:02 schestowitz; [19:52] Uses OS X

19:02 schestowitz; [19:52] mono people never cared about freedom

19:02 schestowitz; [19:53] To be perfectly clear Alex was unemployed when we were together

19:02 schestowitz; [19:53] Described himself as semi retired

19:02 schestowitz; [19:53] lol

19:02 schestowitz; [19:53] He had just moved to Austin

19:02 schestowitz; [19:54] He was living with his father, step mother and 11 year old half brother

19:02 schestowitz; [19:54] Why this was acceptable to me?

19:02 schestowitz; [19:54] He explained it as being there to help his father with dialysis treatments

19:02 schestowitz; [19:54] Which sounded honorable

19:02 schestowitz; [19:55] Anyways I know that's not super of interest but We didn't talk about his work that much

19:02 schestowitz; [19:55] He introduced himself mostly based off the dropbox paper thing

19:02 schestowitz; [19:55] He complained that he had been unfairly forced out

19:02 schestowitz; [19:56] Which made sense because I've seen a lot of the start of drama and a lot of it is people getting pushed out once the product is valuable to gain control over the money

19:02 schestowitz; [19:56] I later learned that the reason why Alex was actually pushed out of dropbox was because he was verbally abusive to his coworkers

19:02 schestowitz; [19:56] Who knows maybe dropbox would've never pushed him out if they weren't trying to steal his work or whatever

19:02 schestowitz; [19:57] Maybe the only reason they validated the abuse claims was because they wanted his work and wanted to cut his equity deal

19:02 schestowitz; [19:57] From my experience that seems likely

19:03 schestowitz; [19:58] i see

19:03 schestowitz; [19:58] with regards to the github stuff there was always an underlying threat that He would tell his network and ruin me if I didn't comply

19:03 schestowitz; [19:59] A few months after the break Up there was this weird situation at my job

19:03 schestowitz; [19:59] This was before Covid and we were in the office

19:03 schestowitz; [19:59] The CTO of my company was visiting from San Francisco in the Austin office

19:03 schestowitz; [20:00] He stood by my desk and loudly bragged about how he was friends with Nat and kept glancing at me

19:03 schestowitz; [20:00] Maybe it was a coincidence and everybody likes to name drop

19:03 schestowitz; [20:00] Brian xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

19:03 schestowitz; [20:01] Who honestly doesn't have the right credentials to be a CTO, but BigCommerce is a technical nightmare

23:49 schestowitz; >

23:49 schestowitz; > rather than because of the Mossad blog. The Cohen/Mossad thing may

23:49 schestowitz; > simply be an unlucky coincidence.

23:49 schestowitz; The Kosovo stuff struck a nerve to the point where merely linking to it got TuxMachines an email from one of (IIRC) the organisers.

23:49 schestowitz; The "Mossad" post was problematic for deducing one's nationality implies Mossad employment; it's like accusing every American Debian developer of being a CIA mole.

23:49 schestowitz; I've run Boycott Novell since 2006 and I know one single factual error or claim that cannot be supported can undo or distract from a lot of factual writing.

23:49 schestowitz; Pesky SLAPP letters can also be discouraged in a number of ways. One of several ways is to make copies all over the place, overwhelming them with "targets".

23:49 schestowitz; Don't try to defend yourself/ves in social control media; you would waste your time as it's designed to make corporate-leaning mobs always win. Not just because of CoC but also the scale.

23:49 schestowitz; If you post something that cannot be supported, it'll harm you and us too, as we are perceived as 'connected'.
