You never produce a live event like that without spares, everything can and will break.

Your idea about the conference buying spares for everyone is interesting. Unfortunately for one, the financial incentives are just not setup in that way. Generally each booth is responsible for its own gear. Second, everyone needs different sizes, resolutions, mounts, color profiles, refresh rates, input types, network control options, blackout behavior, etc, etc.

Also, the discount vs extra expense of the gear is correlated to the cost of the gear. A $100,000 projector (mid-range) will obviously costly less to rent for three days, and is well worth it. With a TV though, they rental company is able to charge a premium because their customers simply will not purchase that type of equipment for all of the reasons above.

While I agree that the $450 bracket installation is crazy, $900 for the TV is not bad at all. Say the TV is $500 retail. If it breaks you are out $1000, and you have to scramble to buy a new one. When you rent, the spare is in a road box behind the curtain, and a professional shop would not charge you for damages unless something smelled really funny.

Bitrise is a wonderful product. Last year a close friend and I formed an LLC and built an iOS app on contract. There was an insane number of things that we had to figure out from scratch, but our CI Just Worked and allowed us to easily send install links to our client.

That's correct, of course without having the app installed there is no option other than SMS or a hardware token.

I remember that configuring this is tricky, but I did eventually get user self enrollment configured with push being the default. Happy to dig more into my config, if you're curious: gabe@untapt.com

That's odd, we use duo at work and it's great. Every user is configured to get a push notification directly to the device which bypasses the issues with SMS.

Thanks! As you can see this was an incredibly simple use case of Beam, and my first try :). Given that all I wanted to do was map a custom function and then reduce with CountPerElement, Python did me just fine. I would imagine that resorting to Java land is in my future as well.
