The ability to complain about companies is a fundamental right, although it's I important to understand that no one at Nintendo is listening. I personally hate Nintendo and despise the way they prevent young people from modding/hacking their consoles and playing GTA games. Those are the two things I want out of a gaming console, so I don't buy anything Nintendo makes.
Consumer Reports used to have very clear non-relationships with manufacturers and advertisers. They were very good.

Why did this change with their online site? Why the 3rd party tracking?
I moved to Homebrew a few years ago because MacPorts was significantly slower in adding new versions of some of the packages I needed to use for work. I had resisted using Homebrew until that point because the architecture of MacPorts made more sense to me, and because Homebrew's permission model in /usr/local is terrible.

At this point it seems like Homebrew is the standard -- I frequently see open source projects recommending it in their installation instructions without mentioning Macports.

I also recommend Homebrew to friends and coworkers, for the reasons I already mentioned, and also because it is significantly easier to install. Go to their website and the first thing you see is an installation script. Go to the MacPorts website and you see a link to an installation page partway down. That installation page is very long and lists a number of prerequisites needed for the installation to work. Homebrew does the installation bit way better, thus making the barrier to entry far lower.

MacPorts would need to demonstrate significant advantages over Homebrew to get me to switch back.
In a recent podcast I listened to on The Changelog [0], I’m almost positive Mike McQuaid (homebrew creator/maintainer) talks about how they use that money when they cover Homebrew governance.

That would require the Columbian Exchange of diseases to have been a non-event. That massive population loss opened up the continent.

Also, American Indian tribes are not a monolith so the contrast would be interesting. Given the migration of some tribes, I would expect a lot more tribal wars.

Why does it need to be at the end?
Reporters don't make the charts. It's the Wall Street Journal, not a blog. There's and entire art department for that sort of thing.

Also, charts like that are very common in financial publications. The target audience knows how to read them.

Edit: The original link was WSJ. It's since been changed to Bloomberg, presumably because of the Journal's paywall, but the point still stands.
A good model would probably be one of the central or South American countries. Mexico would probably be a good model for the northern states and Brazil would probably be a good model for the southern states (due to the large degree of African ancestry in its population). In Mexico there was a high degree of mixture between Europeans and indigenous and current day Mexico has a socio-economic gradient that roughy follows degree of European ancestry. That is, more European ancestry = higher class. Brazil has a similar gradient, just with the added admixture of African slaves.

Of course, the specific cultural practices would be different, since the European and indigenous cultures in the US would have been different than they were in Mexico and Brazil.
Starlink (and other similar systems that are hopeful to launch) are the real competitive threat that Google Fiber only partially lived up to being.

It threatens the existing entrenched providers everywhere. They can't hide from it. They will have no choice but to respond. They face a scenario losing tens of millions of access customers over time to this approach. And the existing options are priced so high in the US, it provides a big fat margin opportunity for Starlink & Co. to target (and ride for the benefit of paying for the buildout).

We had to go to space to route around the cable oligopoly, beyond their local crony jurisdictions.

That chart is grossly misleading for a lot of reasons:

- As you mentioned, axis starts at 14%.

- The units is percentage change rather than actual revenue.

- This is year over year percentage change! Which means it makes no sense having the x-axis be sequential quarters.

> It's like saying white lives matter or blue lives matter, yeah, duh, no segment of society that wields power has ever questioned that.

This is evidently not correct, since a significant portion of the population is offended by the phrase "it's okay to be white". If someone is being obtuse in this conversion, I'm going to go with the people that insist that no segment of society thinks that it isn't okay to be white while simultaneously denigrating the people who say "it's okay to be white".

What on Earth do people hope to achieve by condemning the people who say "it's okay to be White"? I get that a segment of the population interprets statements about a specific group as implying that the statement doesn't apply to other groups (e.g. people saying "Black Live Matter" is racist because it implies that only Black lives matter), but it should be plainly obvious to see why objecting to the phrase "it's okay to be white" is not a good idea. Apparently this is the work of 4chan as a means of duping people into making anti-white statements. If so, then the trolls have had a resounding success: they even managed to dupe a significant portion of HN commenters.

Sony did technically 'remove it', although it's still something that can be done if you're really interested in doing it. Nintendo seems to prioritize jailbreaking above everything else and for most of their consoles there's literally nothing interesting that can be done outside of using them to play Nintendo games.

In LEO it doesn't need to be rad hardended, especially for something that isn't life critical (compared to say, the control system of a space shuttle). At this altitude, the atmosphere and magnetic field provides a lot of protection still.

At the very least SpaceX would test the devices to see what effects the higher radiation would have. However it's not unreasonable to just have the software detect and reset itself, if a high energy event is detected. There are going to be a lot of these satellites and a lot of redundancy in coverage, so if one is down for a few minutes it's not that big of a deal.

Ahh, that's right - your "left radical" definition required destruction on the part of the radical.

It's a sort of reverse No True Scotsman that anyone else cannot be a left radical.

'Course, that's not what 'radical' means, but it's what you've been pushing.

You have yet to demonstrate the it's meaningful to describe Populist-supporting Colorado of the 1890s as a 'very very non leftist place'. I can't help but conclude that you continue to "[throw] in some insults as insurance /r/iamverysmart style hoping no one catches the switch."

Your humanities training left you with a curious inability to explain yourself. All you do is castigate and laugh, Nelson-style.
Product cancellations are just part of Google's culture. They have been doing it for years, including at times when they had very good financial results. It is not a sign of anything other than Google being Google.

In particular it is the result of two unusual characteristics of Google's culture: work supporting legacy code is valued much less than it is at other companies, and launching a new product is by far the best way to get promoted.
I agree, the reaction was completely, 100% nuts.

But such an Easter egg could put Nintendo in a similar situation, and I can see why they can't let developers get away with hidden content like this. It would set a bad precedent.

Revenue only grew 17 percent year over year. Oh no!!

Gross margin looks a bit worse.

It does of course make sense for the share price to drop in response to slowing growth... but they seem like a healthy company to me.

It's funny to think, but if the current crop of tech companies all grew 10x from where they are now, there would be nothing left but tech... I don't think that's a realistic outcome, there have got to be limits to how big a company can grow given the size of the economy.
There are possibilities that can be enabled if the vehicles can communicate with each other. In the absence of other alternatives, using Starlink may be the way to do this.

Is it attrition if they're just changing spaces or working from coffee shops etc? I'm skeptical they'd go back to working 100% out of home?

Some co-working spaces do drinks on friday evening or similar, that could work for some? Another thing that might help is a common slack chat, so that it's easier to find out what people are working on etc.
They're essentially the same, in a sense that if/goto is essentially the same as a loop. In practice, there's a big pragmatic difference.

And I have to say, the debate around Go error handling does remind me a fair bit of some of the arguments I've read while researching that ancient debate about structured programming - needless abstraction that we're not even sure is right, it's clearer when it's explicit, language is simpler etc.
Sure, but macports always seemed more unixy.

Then there's fink mentioned in the article which was popular long ago which literally was a port of Debian stuff.

Path to revenue? What does that even mean?

> if you've been following starling closely, you know that they will not have anywhere near their full deployment for over 5 years after the first launches. the entire fleet is required for the capacity they have been touting, not to mention the coverage.

US/Europe coverage is going to be their primary initial target as that is where the most money is and that requires a significantly smaller amount of satellites. Care to enlighten us on what other companies are planning to launch production satellites like spacex is doing next month because the only company I am aware of that has even launched test satellites is oneweb.
One reason is that Mesoamerica was much more densely populated.

Tenochtitlan alone was one of the biggest cities in the world at the time of the conquest (several hundred thousand people). There wasn't anything remotely similar in present-day US and Canada.

Another reason is that most Spanish colonists were single men whereas most English colonists of North America were families.
Sure, that's possible. But that means foregoing traffic alerts and redirections.

And it means you can't share your location with other people so they can track your progress. I do this on long trips so the people I'm driving to can see where I am without having to contact/disturb me.
It can also be a lack of confidence in the valuation.
The target price is (was as of 2015) $100-$300. Really not that expensive.

> if it was competitive, wouldn't G&S be using it to contact the London stock exchange?

They will, but no such satellite network currently exists. Right now, all of the satellite internet services are using satellites in high orbits. That means they can cover more of the Earth's surface per-satellite, and the satellites last a long time. This was necessary when rocket launches cost >$10,000/kg.

SpaceX is drastically lowering the prices of launching satellites ($1k-$2k/kg, Starship will probably be <$500/kg), and they are taking advantage of that by launching thousands of satellites into LEO (Low Earth Orbit). These satellites will have a 5-7 year service life, which will reduce the cost per satellite and allow for regular upgrades via replacement.

Newer hardware and lower altitudes means less latency and more bandwidth than previous satellites. It will definitely beat transatlantic fiber on latency, but bandwidth will be more limited.
I grew up in a rural area, with ranchers as personal friends, I don't need to watch a propaganda film. I know how cattle are raised and slaughtered. And I know butchers who have done that sort of work for decades and it doesn't bother them at all. They enjoy their work.

How is the WSJ's credibility any better than a blog?
>The Wall Street Journal is the most trusted news source in the country, according to the index, with 57.7% of Americans trusting it.
All polls are biased based on how you ask questions.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonysilber/2018/10/03/the-wall-...
I'd say little more than half the poll is about as irrelevant as a blog. Either you trust something because of confirmation bias or you don't.
Disregarding blogs as somehow being less credible, holds traditional media to a higher standard which they have chosen to abandon for partisan reporting over the past 10 years.

well as far as I know bash and gcc don't depend on kubernetes yet, but that is a good point.

I really hate literature as a subject, but I always thought that English as a subject was to understand how to structure things like arguments, how to be concise, to develop decent grammar.

There are so many examples of things that are terrible to read because the author never edited themselves or bothered to think about what they were trying to get across to the reader.
It will only take a few real customers talking about the latency being fine to make this a non-issue. It's very easy for people to test on their own. I doubt they'll have to do much specific marketing about this issue.
There was an episode of the podcast 99% invisible about the facility mentioned in the OP. It concludes with the idea that the best way for ideas and messages to survive for thousands of years (and transcend language barriers etc.) is to engrave it in the culture of the people at the time. A great example, and one used by the podcast, is to create genetically engineered cats whose eyes glow in the presence of radioactive waste, and to then create culture about this idea. For example, a song / nursery rhyme that impresses the idea that when a cats eyes glow, you aren't safe. [1]

Do you feel bad about using your 'hiring process' as a means of free labour?

i.e. Reading kubeadm config, reusing system certs, and automating the configuration of a VPN overlay system: https://github.com/jameskeane/scrambler

--

FYI to readers, the above project was completed as part of a 'take-home assignment' that I was explicitly told was not a project being worked on.

The feedback I received indicated that this approach was not considered previously, and may indicate (also your commit dates) that this entire project may have been fabricated after my submission.

Here's the feedback from Gravitational around Oct 2018 (before this project was 'started'):

> * I do think re-using the kubernetes certs for IPSec is a compelling solution for the IPSec secrets

> * I like the re-use of the kubernetes keys/certs for ipsec as it avoids use of the PSK

At least it was released as OSS, but seriously you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Thank you for sharing this post. I enjoyed how similar the feedback loop for your experiments was to optimizing code for performance, and it makes me (someone who doesn't have diabetes) want to try CGM. However, I don't think I can get it through insurance. It costs about $42.99 for a 10-day sample, so maybe I'll try a 10-day sample to play around with it.
It seems like they went through and deleted all previous versions of the comment so there isn't even any context left of this discussion. Pretty shameful.

First, only anyone can edit other people’s comments; only repository admins can edit messages in the repository. Also, anecdotally, it is overwhelmingly positive to me, only harmful in extremely limited number of cases (this be one of them). Many people don’t know how to use Markdown (probably don’t bother to learn) and produce gibberish issue reports. Those would have been difficult to manage if edit were not allowed. Sure, it is possible to do without edit, but it’s the same the other way around (GitHub does keep edit history).
