I think the complaint about Google specifically is that they seem to do these things and commit to what seem to be whole lines of business without an actual business plan to make it viable.

It’s one thing to take risks. It’s another thing to just guess without a plan.

you can use a company that is self hosted like Unifi and have complete control over your data, still have remote access, and not pay a subscription. “self hosted” scares people off but its literally a box you plug in and forget about. Pretty trivial.

I dont understand why anyone chooses Ring when the costs of Unifi are so much better.

The ring app also sucks imo and all their hardware is quite slow.

Honestly, that commercial convinced me to dump my Nest cameras because, eventually (if not already), they'll do the same.

It does it quicker if you already have this tool installed. nmap is everywhere.

The goal has never been to create something that can replace nmap, the goal was to learn more about networking and about building TUIs in Go. Honestly I am quite overwhelmed by the amount of traction it got today, definitely not what I expected.

I am very grateful for all the feedback and suggestions, and I will take my time to evaluate every comment. In the coming weeks I will try to implement most of the feedback and do releases to improve the tool further, thanks everyone!

We use nanosecond precision driven by GPS clocks. That timestamp in conjunction with star tracker systems gives us reliable positioning information for orbital entities.

They also have one displayed at the Cleveland Clinic main campus _cafeteria_

Imo focusing in “showing off” instead of “providing value” is a bit of a product-smell. Maybe thats just the point tho, IBM seems to prioritize impressing C-suites over actually accomplishing anything

It’s not unheard of in the medical realm. Slightly different but when Intuitive Surgical released their DaVinci robotic surgery platforms, a hospital system I worked with was early on their list. They also set up the demo unit in the cafeteria so you could see surgeons peeling oranges and then stitching them back up or what not.

and also by ‘some countries’ they mean about 4% of the earth’s population, or 1 in 25 people.

But 26.3% of the world’s GDP.

I would throw Rimworld into that list as well. A fine game by itself, if a bit simplistic. But the mods make the game massively customizable and lets the player do basically whatever they want

motivated to show you results that get sales, not that are the best solution to the problem

Better than continuing to show me ads for vacuum cleaners two months after I purchased one after searching for them.

Target had been pandering to the LGBTQ community for a long time, they released many shirts and ads that tried to present itself as inclusive and forward thinking.

But the very second things change on the top, they flip.

Yes quite a few people are upset at this. They concretely damaged their brand, ruined trust, and pissed off a bunch of their target market. There is an intentional boycott now and it is clearly affecting their stock

My opinion on this is that as a generic business it's better to just stay out of politics and not pander to specific groups. You may score some short-term wins but if you fail any purity test from that point onwards, or pull back at all, that group will feel jilted and retaliate. Then, you're worse off than if you had just remained neutral.

Well no, because they are employees / contractors of the film studio, who presumably claim all copyright of what they captured.

However, the camera operators likely do own the pictures they take with their own cameras on-set, provided the contract they are working under allows for such ownership
