I think they also got a lot of feedback directly through /feedback in Slack and support emails. So they were not necessarily reacting ONLY on public outcry - they have direct feedback from paying customers as well.

Tangentially related: The gopher on that site is cool - try hovering it! Works well on that page - looks good as a static image - but hovering gives a nice "wov" effect.

I just read up on 3'000 to 5'00 mile intervals that might be prevalent in the US? To me that sounds crazy. Many synthetic oils are officially approved to 15'000 miles.

That's not super different from long lasting oil? Some Petrol cars do 30'000km without and service?

But this is still not an argument against fines scaling up with your income, is it?

Yes - a well-known example was Anssi Vanjoki (former Nokia director) getting a fine of 116,000 euros for driving 75 km/h in a 50 zone. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1759791.stm I have heard of other

Exactly - this is what happened to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrickOS (previously legOS). BrickOS is an alternative OS for the Lego Mindstorms kit.

I think that has to mean no Amazon Prime or similar? I buy things from Amazon.de to Finland very often - often no extra cost for shipping and good prices. Also EUR prices without extra taxes for me. So while Finland does not have "Amaz

This is the way salaries are quoted in Finland as well. I suspect it's the same for many countries - though with different percentages. And yes makes comparisons very hard. Update: looking at this comment - this is not unique - same in

There's some pypy.js vs cpython benchmarks at http://arewepythonyet.com/ - those look very good as well.

The OP seems to disagree with you, mentioning that Amazon has some algorithms to determine actually read pages? Or do you have other information?

I agree with the comments here - I don't think the final solution should go into production as it is so complex. And the optimisation for total allocations seems odd. The V02 with VERY simple optimisation is only 2% slower than the fin

I've been through something like this. I did see it and a win-win, but it takes a lot of resources from the company. I don't see a say 1000 employee company in the middle of some crisis (hence the layoffs) having the capacity to e
