The Cosmic hype train continues!!! I can't wait for alpha 1

No idea why you are getting down voted for asking a question especially as it brings up something important around the DSA and it's highest profile members. I will look for the article but saw that the national DSA org came out saying the event was not planned (or supported? trying to remember how strong the language was) by the national org but rather the NY chapter. It will be interesting to see the fallout and whether that changes the power balance within org leadership

It's just funny given the community backlash both companies have faced in recent days

It's funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They're past their series F - they've got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it's been downhill since.

Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)

Which I get - I'm starting the candidate gathering stage for a fairly senior role and the pool of candidates I have to choose from is already quite small given the requirements and niche product and of course I am going to defer to those I have worked with in the past as I know what they can do. I just find it funny that when faced with a very specific issue that unity picked someone who has a track record of fumbling that exact issue

Hmmm, we have a company who's success has been largely due to it's large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community.... Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who's success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

I'd be on the lookout for some cheap XM4s as they are worlds better than the XM3s but that is probably just me being salty about the dogshit battery life of the XM3s

Also, you seem to be putting words in the autopsy report's mouth - they found GSR on him though it does not speak to the source (he was shot 50+ times, GSR was everywhere) - it does not claim that he did not fire a weapon. Similarly, it concluding it was homicide is mixing up the medical examiner's use of the term and the legal use of the term - it was absolutely a homicide in that he was killed by another person - it does not speak to the justification of said homicide as that is far outside the scope of the medical examiner

Your understanding is incorrect based off what has been filed evidence-wise this far - the gun is entered into evidence and is in large part what the independent investigation hinged on when it came to not charging the officer.

I'm generally an ACAB kinda guy and I agree with the protesters' stance on "cop city" but the facts in this case were pretty clear in the court record, in the evidence submitted, and the body cam footage that was released https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/ballistic-analysis-shows-projectile-recovered-from-troopers-wound-matches-gun-in-protesters-possession/85-fe50a6e7-3959-45d8-bcf9-0954cd1f653c

The family is claiming this is all a coverup but haven't put forward any evidence of that other than the fact the GBI won't share more info which they legally can't as it is involved in the pending RICO cases filed against other protesters (how appropriate that omission is won't be known until the other court cases are heard). While there is a possibility the family is right, the evidence so far seems pretty clear - the body cam footage, the gun purchase records, and ballistic evidence

Seems like a bit of a red herring given the protester shot at police.

Right? They want to ignore the very system that created and enforced the concept of money while complaining that they have to contribute to said system. They are leeches on society and utterly refuse to have a reasoned discussion around things like government accountability - instead they throw the baby out with the bath water
