Pebble Round 2 7 months ago

The problem I have with Garmin is lack of support for older devices. They practically bricked my old bike computer. Unfortunately it's been awhile and I can't recall the details of the issue. I have since switched to Wahoo but have only had it for about 3-4 years now.

I think it was 3.3x where things started working. I don't recall 4.x being around much. I do remember 5 and 6. For some reason 4 never made a splash in my circle of friends.

In my market you can’t plug into the ONT because it still requires authentication.

The modem the ISP provides has hard coded settings to limit connection counts as well as rate limit and probably other things. There is a reason they sell full duplex gigabit for so cheap, there are gremlins in the hardware.

A few years back CA had serious wild fire issues. PG&E was just the scapegoat. There are multiple factors but the main issue is that it's nearly impossible to get the environmental documentation (Environmental Impact Statements or EISs) prepared and approved for prescribed burns on federal land due to legal challenges from environmental groups that really have no idea what they are doing.

The system is broken.

I worked with a friend competing for a 0.5M prize to build a robot to collect material on the moon. The project was sponsored by NASA. After that experience, I would be hesitant to enter these kinds of completions. At first it seemed straight forward but as things got closer to the end, tiny details about how to the communicate with the robot and other things were changed. It was discouraging to put in all that work, have everything tested perfectly and then at the last minute some rule change comes along or they change things in the environment that was already tested in.

It does seem like a great solution but we've shied away from it because the price. For an enterprise you need the business license. Something like OpenVPN Cloud I think is 1/3 the price.

Over the years I run into so many idiosyncrasies in btrfs that I have come to the conclusion (a) you better understand the internals of it _very_ well or (b) only use it with small volumes. I have gone with option B because I don't read their mailing list on a regular basis.

It appears the person in the video is Martin Tripp.

Martin Tripp, a slight man of 40 who’d spent his career in a series of low-level manufacturing jobs before finding his way to the assembly line at the Gigafactory. Tripp later claimed to be an idealist trying to get Tesla to tighten its operations; Musk saw him as a dangerous foe who engaged in “extensive and damaging sabotage,” as he wrote in a staff memo.
