I think calling this a "wild-ass guess" undersells it a bit (either that or we have very different definitions of a WAG).Very well though-through and compelling case.
My biggest question is whether composable models are indeed the general case, which you say they confirmed as evidenced by the shift away from non-profit. It's certainly true for some domains, but I wonder if it's universal enough to enable the ecosystem you describe.
I think they know it's bad, they just don't need to make it better because its their OS so they're the only game in town. Developer experience isn't why people write apps for mac/iOS, so there's not much incentive for them to invest in it.
Aside from the Rust aspect (which is cool!), I can't believe we've come this far and still don't have low-latency video conferencing. Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but people talking over each other and the lack of conversational flow drives me crazy with things like hangouts.
I'm wondering where the raw video from the helicopter came from originally. My guess is that this isn't something you can do with an SDR and hobbyist equipment, but I would love to be proven wrong.
Agreed, the "if anything management is getting screwed here" got me good. Still not convinced management, who walked away with millions in cash, got screwed, but it was a well-crafted article.
Edit: I should clarify that by "walking away with millions" I was referring to their normal cash comp. 2019 CEO cash comp was $3.6MM, and she got $700k as a retention bonus.
It seems like cursor acceleration (breaking the linearity between pixel and physical distance) would make this non-trivial; curious how you implemented it.
The court did not rule on whether civil rights were violated, only that they have standing to bring their case:
our opinion does not preclude Square from disputing White’s factual allegations. ... Nor do we express any view on whether a defendant violates the Act by discriminating on the basis of occupation or on White’s adequacy as a representative for a class of bankruptcy attorneys excluded from Square’s services. The question of an individual plaintiff’s standing under the Unruh Civil Rights Act is distinct from the question of that plaintiff’s ability to serve as a representative for a class of allegedly aggrieved individuals.[0]

White only won standing to bring his case. He's still prohibited from using Square; and he needs to win his case against Square before that'll change.
Getting 5 seconds when the credits start to stop it from auto-playing the next episode bothers me sooo much more than the previews (also not a fan of those, but mute is good enough for that).
The scale of this is so hard to comprehend. Seeing the people standing on the dry-dock below the ship, its just mind-blowing to see how massive both of these things are.
I'm in the process of porting some DSP code from python to rust and was really wishing I could use matplotlib to check my intermediate data. If this works like it looks like it should it would totally blow my mind!
More seriously, how much interaction do you have with the farmer(s)? Seems like there would need to be a lot of communication to make something like this work.
