Let's look at actual numbers rather than fantasy.

> Upfront Investment: $140 billion

It cost Verizon at least $26 billion,[1] to wire up 7 million subscribers, or about $3,700 per subscriber. Verizon's network is in dense northeastern/midatlantic states, so in reality much more than that once you start wiring up the rest of the country. Chattanooga's network was about $5,500 per subscriber.

> Yearly revenue per Subscriber: $70 month * 12 months/year * .97 operating margin = $815

The gross operating margin for Chattanooga's gigabit system is under 40%.[2] So $336 per year.

> 140 billion / 50 million subscribers / $815 revenue per subscriber per year = 3.4 years

$3,700 per subscriber / $336 revenue per subscriber per year = 11 years. You've broken even just in time for the next around of upgrades!

> Installing fiber in dense neighborhoods with a high subscriber rate should recoup very quickly

Verizon only averages about 33% uptake rate, and that's by avoiding low-income inner cities or sparse rural areas.

[1] The reports are $23 billion through 2010. Don't have records after that, but e.g. it spent $3 billion in NYC alone since then. The subscriber count is 2016.

[2] Verizon's margin is quite a bit less than that (single digits), but let's assume in this hypothetical that you're not maintaining a legacy POTS network and don't have a unionized workforce.

I recently setup a small personal project on Gitlab as well. I've been very impressed. I was able to setup a private repo, with a CI setup that builds my code and runs my tests every time i push a commit.. all on their servers. For free.
Because even a "3ms latency" (which was a problem, with respect to "global", that other people have commented out) can absolutely kill the performance for IoT data that may be emitting thousands of updates a second.

Those systems are largely highly localized, and so /strong eventual consistency/ is more important than globally consistent blocking operations.

Also, again with 5B+ people coming online, Master-Slave systems (even distributed ones) still have a huge bottleneck already in the present day. P2P systems (master-master) will scale better in these settings.
I have two tracks of thought here:

If it makes you feel any better, This seems to actually be fairly common in the automobile market for new model cars to have teething issues like this.

I bought a new model mini cooper a few years back right after f56 came out and ran into issues like: USB port would not charge a Verizon smartphone, Car would occasionally stall and would need to be put in park to start again, Replaced rear seat, air bags.

It sucks, but it seems like the sort of last minute post release bug fixing that happens all over in software.

Great Answer. I also think culture gets emphasized in a lot of companies where there is bad culture. Companies with great culture don't talk about it as much. Though Netflix changed it by creating a deck and other companies fell into that trap. Netflix deck and Netflix Glassdoor reviews don't match.
You're absolutely right that conventional chicken is the hardest nut to crack when it comes to achieving price parity (beef and pork are easier), but I'm much more optimistic than you.

In 2013, the first cultured burger cost $330,000 to make. Just under a year ago, Memphis Meats was at $18,000/lb of clean beef produced. Now they're at $9,000/lb. This is before any sort of efficiencies from scale, and before many steps of the process have been anywhere near fully optimized. They expect their costs to reach 2 cents/g by 2021, which would be cost competitive.

And while chickens are somewhat efficient, they're not as efficient as culturing techniques ought to be at scale. Memphis Meats' process will require 3 calories of input to produce 1 calorie of beef. That's just better than chicken, and massively better than beef or pork.
Curious as well how much are corporate sales vs "personal" sales.

Well done. How much did you invest putting everything together? i.e. the website, proofreading, etc? Or did you do everything yourself?

Yes that's what I worked out as well. That's not doing any operations just storage.
The costs are still too high for commercial viability but they're dropping rapidly. In 2013, the first cultured burger cost $330,000 to make.

I should add reasons there is a need for change:

Vendors in the current space are "behind" in terms of technological offering. The APIs provided by vendors are often cludgy to non-existent. The UI for these applications are non-intuitive and usually an afterthought.

The top-tier vendors in this space regularly charge upwards of $5000 or more for a concurrent license

Vendors and their partners regularly charge somewhere between $1400 - $1800 per day for consulting services

Projects for LIMS implementation typically last over 6 months and many last over 1 or 2 years.

Maintenance costs typically are in the %18-20% range.

While those numbers may be typical for enterprise software, the value doesn't warrant it. Product quality is usually poor due to poor product testing. Many of the top-tier vendors have highly-complex solutions that are the result of piling new technology on top of old-messy data models year after year. A new, serious player in this space would have the advantage of starting "from scratch".

There are many benefits and reason as to why we should be seeing innovation, but we just aren't seeing it.

React has a bigger community, more hype, more tooling around it, better native mobile support and better support for automated testing.

But if I had to pick my favourite, I'd have to go with Polymer because:

- It's simpler (fewer dependencies).

- Declaring styling and layout is cleaner (it's easier to visualise a component's appearance and to modify it during debugging because layout and styling are kept separate from a component's behavior logic). When it comes to debugging, styling/layout issues almost always happen independently from behaviour issues so it makes sense to keep them separate in the source.

- It works better with browsers' native development tools.

- No need for a compile step (and associated complexity that comes with it as your app grows).

It's not fair to pretend that React bypasses the DOM entirely. Ultimately, when the user clicks on a button, they are interacting with a DOM element, so the event still has to pass through the DOM layer. The DOM is still the API whether you like it or not.

> The hood opened into a ceiling

Is that a Model X issue? What would you expect to happen in another car?
I think there's some misunderstanding about what goes on with an Option<T> type in the compiler. In a sane implementation of Option<T>, there's no space premium for using it over T. The compiler compiles Some<T> to a pointer to T, and it compiles None to null. Swift, Rust, and Haskell all do this; I don't know Scala that well, but I'd imagine it would too unless there's some edge case in Scala<->Java interop.

Kotlin's nullable types and Option are exactly the same thing, except with some implicit conversions and smart casts available (marked by the IDE). Using Kotlin & Rust syntax, I make the following mental equivalencies:

T? <==> Option<T>
maybeNull!! <==> maybeNull.unwrap()
maybeNull ?: default <==> maybeNull.unwrap_or(default)
maybeNull == null <==> maybeNull.isNone()
maybeNull != null <==> maybeNull.isSome()
maybeNull?.method() <==> maybeNull.map(|v| v.method())
maybeNull?.method() ?: default <==> maybeNull.map_or(|v| v.method(), default)

The comparison is even more apparent if you're used to Swift, which has a separate Optional type but the same syntactic sugar as Kotlin for manipulating it.

The two ways that Kotlin nullable types differ from Options in other languages is that you have smart casts (if the compiler can prove that the value is never null, you can use it as a normal variable without explicitly unwrapping), and you have automatic coercions from platform types.

Also, I almost never use null in idiomatic Kotlin programming.

I don't live in a rural area, I'd call it "remote". There are about 20,000 people in the county and I don't live in a town - but I have fiber to my house. I started out with the slowest plan of 20 up and down and haven't seen why I should pay more. Sure a 100 or more would be nice once in a while, but I always get what I pay for and it is "fast enough". I work from home, stream everything I watch and it does the job.

I used to live in a city that didn't have a major telco most people were on one of a handful of small WISPs. Wireless worked OK, a tower could cover entire neighborhoods. I had a 20 up and down plan there, but given the shared nature of wireless I rarely saw it.

Where I'm at now, wireless would never work, too many trees, hills and not enough people. At these distances, copper stinks - so fiber it is. It isn't a company, but a co-op, so prices are reasonable. I'm sure there had to be some grants to get fiber all over the place because I'm not sure it could ever exist without them.

Probably because it's "easier to hire than to fire".

I worked with some really great folks that had trouble getting hired and it was because of the flawed interview process. One person writes concise and clear Rails code that's easy to read, and makes some of the wittiest comments on Slack (subtle puns that go unrealised for two minutes, then you finally get it and makes you smile). But he stutters a bit. And because of that, interviews are difficult for him. Which is a real pity, because in less judgmental situations, no one would think twice about that.

(Don't worry there's a happy ending and he's now at a good company.)

I learned after my first university job fair the necessity of being more outgoing during these situations, but there's great engineers out there who still live by the myth of "they'll know me by my work".

> I.e. you should be able to swap someone's gender and the way the external world treats them should be identical at every step.

This is equal outcome in my eyes, not equal opportunity.
It's a stance of absolutes, a "perfect-world" scenario - a practical impossibility.

You've got to align your goals and perspectives to the reality of the world. Men and women are genetically and physically different which manifests in many different ways culturally. There are so many variables here that I'd be writing an essay if I wanted to list everything that shapes my bias - but the point I'm getting at here is; as individuals we're all different in varying ways and this is a great thing (I'd rather not be genderless, featureless clones).

Focusing on eliminating negative bias is great, sure. But its not a gender issue and should never be institutionally enforced as such. Hell, cultural issues and differences should never be institutionally enforced in my eyes. It's just trading in negative discrimination for positive discrimination.

It's less a biological question, and more a question of the laws regarding meat production where you live. IIRC, in the US (just some states I believe), chickens for example don't need to have space to move at all, except maybe a few inches. We quite literally turn them into machines for producing meat, at scale.

Further, the breeds of chickens used for meat are usually for meat, eggs for eggs, etc - at least at the industrial scale.

> I've been in flipped classrooms. They suck. Everyone hated it. The instructor justified it by showing studies "proving" how great flipped classrooms work conducted by people who advocate and teach in flipped classrooms

That everyone agreed on disliking the flipped classroom format is at best very weak evidence against their effectiveness. Ebbinghaus' 1885 research [0] on how people learn and remember still doesn't inform the teaching of any subject goes in any national education system. If it did revision would be a great deal more integrated into teachers' practice. And we have a great guess at why.

It feels less effective than moving on to the next topic and doing all your revision before the test.

The same domination of what people think works, what feels like it's working over what actually works better is seen in the greater popularity and use of massed practice over distributed, which works better[1].

This is a very good answer. So if I understand you correctly (please correct if I do not), atomicity is handled on a per connection basis (writes cannot be distrubted). And there may be high latency in distributing a transaction, but read consistency is guaranteed by timestamp (equivalent to versioning).

Is this correct?

It can be argued, that communications, in particular internet connectivity is considered essential infrastructure, like roads and is the responsibility of the government to deliver. This doesn't really stray from my pragmatic libertarian view, but is just an argument of what is or isn't "essential infrastructure" or how it should be delivered and paid for. A backed cooperative is fine, so long as other providers are allowed to continue to operate (should they choose to), so as to establish baselines and competition.

In school, when the material was basic, I listened to the explanations of the teachers, did a few examples and got my B or C.

In my bachelor lectures I failed most exams on the first try, because the tutors were fast as hell. They did all school math in the first week and kept that pace to the end of the semester. I switched my learning style from going to lectures to reading stuff at home at my own pace, which worked much better.

In my master I didn't even bother with lectures at all, I just started a remote degree program, where they sent me all the material so I could learn myself at home.
