Fanta reminded us of that fact, in a likely to be unintended way.
They broadcast an ad in Germany for the 75 years of the brand, claiming to bring back "the feeling of the Good Old Times". Considering that the "Good Old Time" in question was when Nazis ruled, it caused quite a backlash.
> During the Second World War, Germany was under a United States trade embargo, the British naval blockade and the import of Coca-Cola syrup was prohibited. To circumvent this, Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland (Coca-Cola GmbH), decided to create a new product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at the time, including sugar beet, whey (a cheese byproduct), and apple pomace. He later described them as the "leftovers of leftovers".
That's Coca-Cola GmbH, a German company that was owned by a US company. When the US and Germany were at war the US Coca-Cola lost control of Coca-Cola GmbH. It wasn't until after the war that the US company got control back.
I’ve been using Nix for the past year and it really feels like the holy grail for stable development environments. Like you said—it takes serious time to set up, but it seems like that’s an unavoidable reality of easily sharable dev envs.
Woah, that sounds really cool! I did some research this summer on running programs in kernel space and tactics used to verify safety. This sounds right up my alley—-if I had any of the qualifications!
If you haven't already, please feel welcome to send us a message! Even if these specific opportunities might not make sense, if this is something you're potentially interested in working on, perhaps there are other opportunities to be found. If nothing else, we're always excited to talk to anyone who's as excited as we are about the general direction.
