They're not really following the philosophy I expect to see a unix-like OS, so my experience also wasn't great. Like turning logs into a binary format, and then later bugging out on it so when you try to read it with their convoluted command (where cat or less was sufficient in the past) it gave errors on its own mess and refused to display anything.

Bugs happen, that's understandable, but simply the fact that they turn logs into a binary format shows their philosophy is different than the one I expect from a unix-like OS.

And almost all distros are following them sadly...
I think that while these tactics are grey area for sure (specially in the case of Airbnb), I firmly believe that this would fall in the, for lack of a better word, "hustle" category. I would guess that most of the companies listed here tried multiple tactics, and these are the ones that worked. From my own experience as an entrepreneur, you just have to keep experimenting with various channels until one sticks, without getting too bogged down with the wider implications.

"No one bothered to mod it up"

But doo you know how many saw it at that point? Many nested comments see no active users in any case, other than those already participating in the thread. This means voting is biased by that.

The fact that pjc50's post was not down-modded is also consistent with the down votes being non-representative. You're applying "logic" where it doesn't apply, but feel free to apply probability or statistics.

Dagnabbit systemd! Thank you. You just solved a mysterious bug for me.

The whole purpose of nohup is to get your process to ignore your session ending. Why on earth systemd would up and decide that you didn't do that on purpose is beyond me.

When people say they hate systemd, it's precisely this kind of thing that we're talking about.
Not long ago, Netflix introduced the ability to download certain movies, too.
It isn't. What really happens is cost reduction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_reduction). Basically the design is changed to make it as cheap as possible to manufacture, while still lasting the guarantee period.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_for_manufacturability

Examples of what you might do:

* Change the design to relax tolerances.

* Switch from nuts/bolts to other fixings like glue, snap-fit, screws into plastic, etc.

* Reduce the thickness of plastic parts that rarely fail

* Switch to cheaper materials, e.g. metal->plastic

* Integrate electronics into fewer places / components / PCBs.

I have a theory that first generation products last longer than recent ones because they haven't had a chance to make them crap yet (though this may also be selection bias).

None of it is really done to screw the customer over, rather to maximise profit.

You can't compete on reliability nearly as easily as on price. It takes many years and lots of reviews for customers to learn the reliability of a product. It will probably be obsolete by the time its reliability is clear to the average person, so really only huge long-lived brands can compete on reliability. Cost is easy to compare.

I went a little further and ran a simulation [^1] with random payments in the range from $1 to a fixed percentage of the payer's wealth.

When this percentage is in the range 2-10%, the wealth inequality is significantly smaller than in the base case (i.e. all payments are $1). Then it starts growing again.

Why is it? You pay via ads and their margin on these products is probably quite healthy. Why shouldn't they offer support?
"Bots", although not necessarily the type that people think of today have been handling a lot of work for years. --Generally by providing a link to a possible solution.

L1 support gets anything not handled by bots, and are generally able to close around 80-90% of the cases. That's why you spend money on L1 support first.

L2 handles another 10-15% of the cases, and then depending on the company, L3/L4/developers handle the rest.

Google either has an environment where L3 support doesn't talk to customers (which would be pretty unusual), or they have a huge backlog and just don't have resources to keep up with the cases reaching them. If the latter is the issue, there's not a quick fix - even if you have funding to higher more of them (and they usually earn quite a bit more than L1/L2 support), you have to find people with the necessary skills, or be constantly trying to get people ready to move up (L1 -> L2 -> L3, etc.), which can be difficult if you're dealing with outsourcing on one or more levels, and if the tiers are located in different locations.

The other thing is that if you're one person who has reported the issue and you have an individual subscription, the truth is that it might not make sense for the company to spend as much time that is require to fix your issue - If you're spending $100/year, why should the company spend $10,000 to fix the issue? It sucks, of course, but that's a simple truth about software support.

Kid who can fly in air, can shoot web to catch enemy is the ultimate weapon against grand gangster thing man the mutant villain in city battle.
How so? I understand that there are some differences between the two, but the fundamentals are the same; which is that I want a physical server that I can manage.

Their pricing structures are slightly different, Versaweb gives me a bit more flexibility when configuring, a wider IP subnet bundled (instead of 1 usable IP), and a few other things which I'm investigating.

I also have to consider laws and network latency as these are in different regions.

In the end, I am paying $180 for a Haswell Xeon with lots of disk space and IO. I could pay the same amount for more RAM on the same CPU, albeit with slightly less space.

If I keep the same setup at a fraction of the cost, I could end up getting the 1080 GPU on the same datacenter. It somehow feels like the same or similar market to my needs ...
ThinkPads, Elitebooks, Latitudes already fall under the category where you can extend the - normally 3 years warranty - to 5, but they are significantly more expensive than a laptop in [random local PC store].

The first step would be to make people understand that the shiny new is most probably nothing better - not in power, keyboard, etc - than a 3-4 years old business rugged one (there are always exceptions, we're talking generic category here), so just go and get a used, perfectly functioniong business tank instead.
if the price of the good includes the cost of proper disposal/recycling/environmental impact of the good, and this proper disposal/recycling actually happens (unlike e.g. many CRT monitors in the US), then I think that other regulation around product lifespans probably isn't needed and allowing consumers to decide based on price is fine.

but if those costs aren't correctly accounted for in the price then being able to choose a "low priced thing" is just pushing the clean up costs onto society.

that said, people who have historically gotten a benefit and pushed costs on to third parties will of course probably be unhappy about a change that forces them to pay for the costs. see also: capitalism generally, climate change.

Someone's old data from 2012 to build a core-image-sato using Yocto is just over an hour - http://www.burtonini.com/blog/2012/11/15/yocto-build-times/.

That said, core-image-sato used to be just a simple demo image. In my old build system, we would build the Arago Project for a TI SoC every night and it would take a few hours but that included a lot of the DSP code as well which was really slow too. So a couple of hours on average is my guess.
The best forums I've been a part of/moderated were forums that originally served for customer support for a product/company, and naturally became a hang out spot for people with interests in common.

I've been part of several dozen such forums over the years, from hundreds to tens of thousands of users. None of them had capital dedicated to community building. I've also seen many people try to follow the model you outlined (faking users) and none of them were successful.

Obviously that approach seems to work in some cases (if you have cash to burn?), but I'm glad that I've seen only more genuine undertakings succeed. Seems more like the kind of internet I want to be a part of.

Speaking of fridges, they along with other large appliances, seem like the perfect products for repair rather than replacement. I imagine that most fridges that stop working do so because of the cooling system. Yet fridges, especially the higher end ones I see in stores, have a ton of large, precision machined metal pieces. The same can be said for washers/dryers. It seems like such a shame to throw something like that out when the cooling or motor breaks down.

Edit: I went to an antiques market in Long Beach a few months ago and there was a vendor displaying meticulously restored, and fully functional, fridges from the 50s-60s along with similar era stoves and ranges. They were fairly expensive, I assume the resto work is quite labor intensive, and since the target market is people who are restoring mid century homes in Socal and want a period correct kitchen, but it was great to see them continuing to function.
Instead of throwing the things away you could donate them to charity. Let someone else use or sell the stuff.

It might be nice for some products to have this designed into them, but the transition will be tough. It might mean redesigning a product well before the end of a natural product cycle. It will almost certainly raise costs (and thus prices) at transition.

Last big EU effort like this was RoHS, which actually lowered product lifespans and reliability substantially.

Even if it is overall a net good, the winners here will be those selling to EU people but exempt from the regulation during the transition (US, Canadian, etc retailers); once all the costs have been paid by EU consumers to the point that it makes sense to voluntarily adopt elsewhere, then global production might shift overall to selling these kind of devices only.

So, essentially a subsidy by the EU to the rest of the world in two separate ways.
OpenBSD doesn't work like that, either. The OpenBSD people reinvented Mewburn rc just over six years ago. None of FreeBSD, TrueOS/PC-BSD, FreeNAS, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD have a single rc file containing everything.

Undercutting your competitors by flooding their service with fake requests is hustling.

Etc.

Some of those are just work needed to succeed; others are downright unethical.

clarification - my back pain episodes were 2x in ... about 3 years. in both cases this was a sudden onset - like, standing up from a seated position, some sort of switch was flipped, and I had immediate massive pain.

In both cases, talking to a local "urgent care" clinic, "go to your GP for a referral for physical therapy" was the standard line. "we don't treat back pain".

I get it, in some sense, like... yeah, I may be an addict, etc. But in both cases, I'd been to the clinic multiple times before for other things. I had a history with them. Actually, the last time I'd been there I said I had no primary care physician, and wanted to use them as primary (3 miles from house vs 11 miles to previous dr).

In both cases, the back pain episode lasted more than a week, was debilitating to the point of not being able to walk without massive pain or sleep normally for several days. And then, it wore off, and ... 'back to normal'. Historically, I'm learning, we have some back issues in the family, but I can't get much info from anyone on specifics yet.
I do, if it's convenient. Traveling 60 miles to Goodwill also has a cost (direct and environmental).
Good luck on improving the situation as long as you have people running around who consider this all fine and normal.

It's actually 13px, which is much smaller than 13pt. 16px (which is slightly smaller than 13pt) is pretty much the standard minimum.

Pinboard is great, but the UX could definitely do with some attention. It annoys me to the extent that one of my pet projects is a better front-end, using its API. As one small example, it's incredibly frustrating that I have to view page source to extract metadata (e.g. title + description) when adding a new URL, rather than pinboard just doing this for me.
C was ok. Not good, but ok.

Then we tried to attach the OO paradigm to it and we got the monstrosity that is C++ (and as a consequence of that - Java - which has fixed some issues but still suffers)

I'm so glad that paradigm is starting to die out and hopefully Rust, Go and others will take over (their object model still doesn't get around my head but it will eventually)
Least bad doesn't mean as good as it can get!
When I bought a fridge some years ago, the capital cost of a new fridge was about €100, the annual operating cost was about €50. Investing in a more efficient fridge pays of quickly. Second hand fridges (€50 capital, €80 operating) made no sense.

And this is not a mere frugality argument. The economics more or less reflects environmental impact as well. There is a point where discarding a perfectly functioning but inefficient appliance for a newer is the environmental choice.
But I prefer running

systemctl status <service>

and actually getting consistent output rather than whatever the init script developer chose to provide (if anything)

Of course it's relevant. If enough people don't bother with getting their stuff repaired the increased warranty has no meaning. It's cheaper for the manufacturer to keep producing crappy stuff and fix it for the small number of people who care about their rights than to increase the quality (and the price) of their products. The waste problem remains.
I am pretty sure building a common set of packages for, say, Fedora, or any version of Windows takes a couple orders of magnitude more resources than building Chrome.

I used to be a C++ guy for 20 years, but won't go back unless absolutely necessary. I mean, it's tempting -- there are some cool new language features.

I'm 40 -- I want to get stuff done before I die, not play clever games to get around my language / system.

Interesting, a €100 fridge is good enough ? I had to buy an expensive one for idiotic reasons, but I thought that cheap ones were probably innefficient.
Minus one detail, old fridge might be using illegal cooling fluid/gas. So it might be a complex job to fix it.

If you visit the European Astronaut Corps (ESAC) in Bonn/Cologne you can see a lot of cool stuff - they have 1:1 mockups of the ISS (various modules) including stickers, a neutral buoyancy lab and a Soyuz trainer. It's tricky to get in randomly unless you have friends there (not for any security reason, it's just not a public place), but I think they do tours every now and again.

Although why Kazakhstan? You can visit Cape Canaveral (which launches fairly often) or French Guyana. You wouldn't want to be ringside, even if you could get there. There's a good chance you'd be deafened. Rocket launches sound like a fighter jet flyby even when you're in the public viewing areas.
