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".

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?

When it is easy everyone thinks they are Oskar Schindler but when it is hard most people are Hugo Boss.
Sun-Tzu actually described how this works with soldiers, and how do you work with such gentle material. I'd say his book's parts on psychology are about making a Hugo Boss from a wannabe Oskar Schindler, but if one applies his advice to oneself, one can put different goals.
I also like Marcus Aurelius.

What happened to indigenous people and women? I swear I saw one just an hour ago so it seems like they still exist. Maybe not?
That was a cat. You saw a cat an hour ago. Indigenous people and women have never existed. It's been straight white men since Adam and Steve. Wait...

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
You are pissed at another kid, so you find a dog turd near the playground and you throw it his way.

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.

Depends on what the cops would do.

This is definitely the most important thing for the country and for human space exploration as a whole.
