  • Might be workable if you settle on combining only 2 to 3 keys (small, medium, large) per hex.

    Or, learn metallurgy and material science to find some new polymer or alloy that would be strong enough.

    But honestly, it sounds like a really expensive endeavor that even if you made it work, isn’t practical enough to justify the cost.

    Maybe something like the universal socket wrench style could influence a design that’s workable as a multi-hex, and be made cheaply enough.


  • Security expenditures are just numbers on an Excel sheet, just like HR, and legal…it’s a business.

    You know what else is a big threat? Executives of cost-center departments not understanding how to articulate their needs in terms of profit, or profit loss.

    HR and legal departments are generally much better at explaining their concerns and needs in terms of profit, and not abstract concepts i.e. security.


  • AliExpress is not even close to Amazon except for the fact that it does a great job at providing a wide selection of Chinese products, but cheaper and with longer lead times.

    What makes Amazon, Amazon, is its customer service. Without that, it’s like eBay. But even eBay has significantly better customer service than AliExpress.

    Speaking as someone who has used AliExpress a lot, it’s pretty good, but only if you understand that all sales are final. Best cast scenario, the seller makes you pay for shipping which generally costs anywhere from 50% to 250% of your original purchase price.

    Their customer service always defers to sellers in my experience, and even if they approve a return, what’s the point if you lose money by shipping it back?


  • You realize that gig economy is the neoliberal slang for a poverty class work, but without the rights of workers, right?

    So you’re criticizing people who are forced by the system in which we live, to be ordered around by a fucking algorithm, and then take abuse from people who have enough money to NOT work in the gig economy, but no where near enough to actually own the servant class they get off on abusing.
