Not speaking for my employer, and only an highly amateur accountant. I believe this is done because the appeals process is not yet final. As to whether they "found it necessary," it may be a requirement, or to frame expectations i

I'm not sure what "almost nil customer support" measures out to, but speaking for myself and not Google Cloud (my employer) I know we have: - fantastic support internally (probably not what you're caring about), - suppor

This is absolutely not true. I buy a billionth or trillionth of various friends' bad ideas for a dollar time and again, producing equal or higher valuations instantly. I've been doing this for more than a decade.

A few trade-offs that required this setup are mentioned. Transparency is often difficult, and never satisfactory to all. As someone who works on the marketing team, I'm pleasantly surprised that even this much was allowed to be shared-

Surfacing old news for Hacker News to build karma points is too-frequently a successful play. All you have to do is slap a (2010) and all gets forgiven.

Yep. Foreign certifications take time, and standards for manufacturing, communication/signal interference, and more vary, but not serving the world as quickly as possible is a bad plan for growth or community enthusiasm. (Story time: A

I think Maker Studios was somewhat along this line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Digital_Network#As_Make... , but I'm sure there are plenty of more clear examples around.

I don't have details on this, but I can't imagine it'd be less personalized for your off-the-beaten-path stuff than it is now, where we get the same as everyone else.

You likely read that, but the story was that some exec cited it as an idea. It was reported as factual and actual, and that's how it will be remembered. My telling you won't matter, as eventually one or both of us will forget, and
