> PS: I also got to the point I could shell 30 hard boiled eggs in under 30 seconds with a 2-handed shell technique.

This is something I'd love to master. Not sure why but I'm terrible at shelling hard boiled eggs.

You don’t get a get out of jail free card because you have financial problems.

That’s saying the same thing.

I agree, Apple has no interest in fighting spam from users onboarded by Beeper. That’s likely the biggest issue with this and more generally opening iMessage to wider audience.

In other words, Apple wants to control who enters their garden. Not surprised and not sure I disagree. Why is it that Beeper, or anyone else that isn’t Apple gets to decide who uses iMessage?

I’ve had this happen leaving the EU earlier in the year. It was either AMS or CDG airport where I didn’t get a stamp. Hadn't noticed until I got home.

What do you lose with protect when clouds disables?

Overall I found the statement to be solid. I would like a more detailed follow up analysis to demonstrate they actually did more then just roll back to last version and make a bug fix of the root cause.

There should be changes to their release process to test and ensure this won’t happen. Also, I’d like to see a real root cause analysis of some sort.

What would you have a bought instead? In my experience there isn’t anything comparable in the consumer space. I’d love to be shown I’m wrong. I use both their network gear and security setup (door bells, cameras).

I’m not sure there is another company offering the same solution with ease of setup and low overhead to manage. Is there?

It’s really not all that obvious to me. In particular you’re saying the reason to hand SpaceX nearly a billion is so I can do business with them faster because the subsidy reduces their time to market? If so, that’s a bogus argument in my opinion. I’d prefer a more direct mechanism like ownership and profit sharing. There is plenty of venture capitalists out there, if we can float WeWork, I’m sure there’s people who can float SpaceX and other perhaps more valuable to society businesses.

Maybe a dumb take but I’d really like for the population to earn an ownership stake in the company for providing subsidies. I don’t know much about subsidies but it seems like it would be in the best interest of the population to be able to have an ownership stake in the companies that are providing a head start through monetary or policy subsidizing. Can someone tell me if there is a way for the US to recoup subsidy money or how this works?

This is always the approach I take. Especially for junior engineers. Stay out of the way, let them merge code with as little friction and discouragement as possible. Anything that I would have implemented or approached differently I try to elaborate on. Even go so far as to write some (most or all) of the code in a comment or in a remote branch to share. I will still ship the code but let the submitter digest my thoughts.

I have a few Emtek locks which support locking and opening detection. Premium brand from Yale, which has a Yale Zigbee module. They also have Zwave support.

Precisely. Back scratching to sweeten the deal for mutual benefit.

Last quarter they posted 1.94% profit margin.

Agreed and this news comes just 6 months after Spotify hiked their subscription price. Which at the time was well received by the stock market.

How profitable would Spotify be if they were paying full price?

Has it? Who knows? Could it, yes. That is the point OP was making.

Not every swing is going to be a home run. Billion dollar investments sound like a lot but not for companies of this size. They are small to medium sized bets.

All too eerily similar to my experience in both a Seattle and a San Francisco apartment. The whole thing reeked of illegal collusion.

This is my experience! My wife loves to play penny slots whenever we are in Vegas. She sets a budget, plays and I hang with her. I really have trouble parsing what’s going on. Happy to drink for free while my wife gets her $20 penny slot fix.

Most (all? But I’d have to double check) of my hdmi cables have the version printed on the cable jacket. Seems entirely sensible to do.

I guess those people define justice as an eye for an eye. I see your point though.

Checking in from Seattle. Similar experience over the last 8 years where flexibility continued to be decreased.

What is ironic about you're opinion disagreeing with the status quo in some countries?

And that speed should be symmetrical. We are continuing to push the boundaries are content going out.

> An example: The North Face edited wikipedia to change the photos of famous hikes/outdoorsy locations with people wearing North Face jackets with the logos visible.

I hadn't heard of this but it is beyond sleazy in my book. Though, to the company's credit, I cannot fault for the actions of likely one or a small group of marketing people. Though I don't know, maybe, that type of idea had visibility all the way to the top.

Please share anecdotes and not make random dismissive claims as a reply.

I’ll happily take a rapid line or light rail over driving the 99.

Similar to what used to be some more developed rest stops (areas).

2032 West Seattle checking in.
