Just because the social media guy likes to play social media'ish doesn't mean the rest of the team is like that.
But definitely not a good moment to make a joke.

They should have put a Kraken 2.0 trade engine alongside the first one, and moved people gradually there. It doesn't matter how confident they were with the upgrade before it happened, it's crypto, everything is new. A few lines of wrong code and you can lock millions of dollars in multi-sig wallets.
I have most of my funds there because their eur SEPA transfers worked very well. I really hope they can get back in shape after it comes back online.
The 2) service though you just swipe your metro card on the panel for an auto-mobile car parked somewhere, drive for $0,30/minute and leave the car anywhere (in some very big zones in the cities). It's exactly like https://www.car2go.com/ except their auto-mobile vehicles (hybrids and electrics) have backseat, so we can go around with kids (whereas you can't with a Smart).
I commute by bicycle to work, so we use this only on the weekends. It takes around $7 to go from our place to the center, while public transport would be $5, so it's really great for the convenience and speed.
By far it really beats owning a car in Montreal in cost and convenience. Parking space is limited and very expensive ($8 for 2 hours in city center). If you have a car you have also to keep changing parking even if you don't use it because there are very few buildings with garage and they clean the streets at least once or twice a week for the entire year. I've been car-free for over 20 years, it's a huge relief to not have to worry about taxes, maintenance, robbery, etc etc that comes with the responsibility of owning a car.
Come self-driving cars, we might have only some very few people that will keep owning their own vehicles due to some nostalgia feeling.
I would expect games wouldn't run as easily on a different distro or on a heavily customized Ubuntu.
The Linux ecosystem is HUGE. I suppose that's why they are making SteamOS, so they can focus on one smaller part of this large landscape.
It would be great if Autodesk ever did upgrade python to 3.3, but I suppose A LOT of stuff would break in the process.
But since A LOT of stuff already breaks from each yearly version it wouldn't matter much... :P
I would bet they will only upgrade it when many new features in PySide supports only 3.x and up, or if they ever drop support for 2.6.x.
On the other hand, if you have "fun" tools for users to create content, they WILL create it. Like in Little Big Planet, ModNation Racers and others. It's amazingly hard to make a game, and amazingly harder to make a tool that is fun to use. And with this "fun tool" obviously you strip down all the publishing barriers (technical and legal) that "common game development" have.
