Well, I think after taking the VC money that was lying on the table they focused on the wrong thing, trying to become a unicorn, where many companies have emerged building devtools around docker containers that have at least made solid exits, and this is something that docker could have provided itself instead of chasing whatever

Do you have sources that confirm that this was the case? Otherwise, none of the counter proof that you demanded would be needed, saving everybody some research time

I think it's pretty clear that docker as the software extracted from the initial paas is by any means wildly successful to this day.

I think docker the company not succeeding as a unicorn has more to do with trying to position it as a unicorn than a viable business built upon something in that original offering

Please elaborate

Those examples are both well over 20 years old though, so not sure how well this translates to companies that start today

From my understanding, both Boeing and Spirit have been employing very shoddy practices, but at that point in the production line it's Boeing who is responsible for QA

As things stand, it seems the anon insider report from 3 weeks back was legitimate and accurate, and holds answers to your question: https://leehamnews.com/2024/01/15/unplanned-removal-installa...

Also, maybe to add to that, the Dreamliner was a new design, of which apparently even considering some setbacks along the way Boeing was still capable of at that point in time.

For the 737 Max, they were very late and had to react to Airbus much better neo offering, and didn't have the time and/or money and/or capabilities to develop a new airplane, so a lot of in the end deadly compromises had to be made to somehow bypass training and security certification as much as possible using the old airframe at low cost.

Currently reading "Flying Blind", which was recommended on another recent Boeing thread. Not done yet, but I think it boils down to

- Boeing had a pretty strong engineering driven culture for a long time

- In the 90s, McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing's money and McDD management took over, which was a mostly Jack Welch inspired bunch of value extraction types

- Engineering culture started decaying, drastic cost cutting, outsourcing and value extraction started taking place, with Boeing spending up to 80% of free cash on stock buybacks instead of investments

- Dreamliner program started in the early 2000s, 737 MAX several years later

I think it boils down to the erosion of the company not having progressed as far when the Dreamliner was being designed

> The company hardcoded algorithms that would report failures of parts that work correctly (like a compressor), if it detected that train has been repaired by another company (based on location readings), and stop the train from running

This isn't correct by my understanding - there's actually two separate things here:

- The company made their trains stop functioning after spending 10 days at competing maintenance locations, based on GPS

- In one firmware, they hardcoded to pretend a compressor failure a few days after the next scheduled maintenance for the train

I suppose this is going to change drastically going forward as game devs probably won't want to risk their livelihood on the whims of a company that is ok with making such changes

Believe it or not, hate crimes do exist in Germany. Maybe not as a legal term, but that's a legal thing and a political decision. You cannot forbid the term to be applied single handedly. And if a political decision was made to not count something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

However, based on your cliché populist statement of distrusting any media because it's biased, I don't see a point in continuing.

You seem to be on some mission on this thread, maybe you should take a step back and reflect the discussion and arguments.

1. Hate crimes are hugely different from battery/assault, so I'm not sure how your reference adds anything 2. Police data is not a trustworthy source, as police is biased too. Just check some news articles about police refusing to even take in a report about hate crime, where this is more likely to happen, and consider what this means for the stats you're quoting

I think the point wasn't that Saxony and Saxons were terrible people in general, but rather that if you're non-white you might get smashed in the face or murdered on the street if you're unlucky, and the odds of this happening being higher than in other parts of Germany. Which seems fair to me given recent history.

> When media actually relied on ad revenue, it was not so partisans.

Do you have a source for this?

> Advertisers wanted bland stuff that appealed to everyone.

Do you have a source for this? From my point of view a larger audience will drive the price up so I fail to see a correlation. Also, a broader audience leads to less targeted audience, so that seems cost-ineffiecient

> It's the subscription model that drives partisanship.

Do you have a source for this?

> People want to pay to support stuff that they agree with.

Do you have a source for this?

You are framing a bouquet of personal opinions as facts here.

There are a few [Citation needed] in here from my point of view

When I had to integrate the new intents APIs back when SCA launched it seemed pretty clear to me that they tried to come up with an API that covers many use cases (relatively) uniformly but therefore coming at the cost of a huge complexity boost over ther initial "charge a credit card" experience, which, combined with hugely lacking docs on some corner cases we encountered, seemed like a pretty poor decision to me based on what made them useful in the first place when they launched. As things stand I would look elsewhere now for integrating payments

Not if it's stolen from a person who bought it, instead of a warehouse

The linked article mentions $80, which would give a little more room:

> The console will cost 9,980 yen before tax; at just under $80, this is in line with the pricing of earlier mini-consoles.

At the same time, on eBay the analogue pocket routinely sells for $700 - $1000, so it seems there's quite a gap in supply for this

The analogue pocket sits at 219 USD retail currently, and it has a screen with very high density and pretty high quality build in general. They are however having issues with sourcing parts leading to long preorder cycles. With the scale of these reissue consoles, and lack of a screen or batteries, I'd think it would be possible to reach the price point of these toy reissues if they came as FPGA based builds from first party. Not the profit margin though unfortunately

I would really appreciate if those reissue consoles would rather be FPGA based mimics of the original hardware instead of essentially correctly shaped plastic around a raspi and retropie. The perceived success of devices like the Analogue Pocket indicate to me there's a market for this, and at the audience scale of first party devices this might actually hit non-enthusiast pricing

I guess the marketing claims were true. I am completely mystified why this feature exists.

That's sad. How does that work with the GPL license of the kernel?

Is their fork source code available somewhere publicly?

How do you handle SSL? I found this very cumbersome in my experiments with esp32

This is something that has been keeping me wondering for years. Since the financial crisis the European Central Bank has basically fixed base rate at negative (since 2012), leaving the market flooded with desperate investment money (due to all old school investment options becoming a negative) Now also of course since it's "cheap" the real estate prices have almost doubled in that timespan, having previously hovered around the same mark for the ten years before that.

What I wonder is - is there any way out of this curse of growth with all the money spent into those inflated prices at this point that does not mean complete economic collapse?

This looks pretty impressive and I'd like to play with it, but it's disappointing that you're forced to accept telemetry to enlist on the waitlist. I guess I'll wait for general availability.

I only see some SQL files in there

But there are no tests behind this command?
