Hey I guess Brian can just re-enable Founder Mode, AMIRIGHT?

The so-called Founder mode is basically necessary when a CEO shows signs they're unable to effectively manage their suite of chiefs and directors to steer the company stably into better times. The founder (often CEO themselves) feels immense board pressure and blames reorganizations (they chose for themselves) for this and goes all-in on another reorganization after firing executives and publicly sharing their epic shareholder letter, while quoting Steve Jobs and other greats.

Absolutely not saying MBA CEOs like Tim Cook are superior (in fact I personally believe the opposite), but for a founder to go into "Panic mode" is an act of childish, unstable behavior. When you stop and think about it from 5000 feet, maybe the founder is the one that should be replaced. It wouldn't be so bad in case of AirBnB.


Its for a very, very, very narrow set of algorithms AFAIUI.


This is not good.

It does raise an interesting question of how to reliably contact a customer if email is broken?


If you did this in the UK you can be guaranteed a meeting with HR. Absolutely mind blowing.


A meeting with HR too, talk about adding insult to injury


I think they mean that the manager would get to talk to HR


Hey there - one of the Flagsmith founders here - yes we are supporting it, building adapters for our SDKs and I'm on the CNCF project governance board.

We've got the core functionality pretty much down now, and so there's some more interesting/challenging components to think about now like Event Tracking (https://github.com/open-feature/spec/issues/276) and the Remote Evaluation Protocol (https://github.com/open-feature/protocol)


No mention in TFA of total available bandwidth for the plane?


https://www.starlink.com/support/article/da6ca363-da23-c9dc-...

>Starlink delivers up to 40-220 Mbps download speed to each plane, enabling all passengers to access streaming-capable internet at the same time. With latency less than 99 ms, passengers can engage in activities previously not functional in flight, including video calls, online gaming, virtual private networks and other high data rate activities.

I'm guessing they will severely limit the bandwidth to maybe 1-2Mbps per ticket.

I doubt anyone can stream much of anything.


The fact that it's free to the end-user seems like it would increase the number of users by enough to negate the increase in total bandwidth.

I wonder if they will go back to a fee, even a tiny one, just to limit the number of users. It will be interesting to see how that works out.


Higher bandwidth in Business and First, no doubt.


There's no restrictions of the sort


Not sure if that actually holds true for all customers, but their public website says up to 220Mbps DL per Starlink terminal.


You just invented money laundering


Not really, the KYC is usually done on the payment layer depending on which payment platform you use. If you are doing your own ACH, yes, you will need KYC. But if you are using something like stripe connect or dots.dev then KYC is their problem.


The unsubscribe links in your emails don't work


I can never understand why people pay for Priority boarding! Would you rather stand on a runway/in a gangway tunnel/sit in a plane seat as opposed to sitting in an airport waiting lounge? It absolutely blows my mind.

Most people with priority boarding also queue, standing, at the desk the moment they get to the boarding gate. WHY?! You have a seat already?!


Priority gives you 1 small bag and 1 cabin bag. I pay just so I can take a cabin bag.


Fun fact: if you book priority, but then only take a backpack on the plane, they won't let you put it in the overhead compartment.


True, and they can be very rude about it ;(


But do you try your hardest to be first onto the plane?!


Sometimes, if only because recently, Ryanair has "overbooked" for their actual cabin bag capacity, forcing you to place your bag below deck if you're one of the last ones.

I find the whole thing despicable, but the behavior is rational (according to the rules Ryanair set up, at least).


The only reason I do it is because if you get on the plane last, there may not be any room for your bag in the overhead compartment near you.


I have a Pi 4.

It runs home assistant and bunch of other docker images.

It has a DVBT-2 hat that feeds tvheadend that lets me watch broadcast TV on my laptop and phone.

It doesnt make a noise. It doesnt reboot randomly. It doesnt get hot. It doesnt get hacked.

After that, who cares?
