There are continuous extraction fans, they're called dMEV systems. Eg https://www.epicair.co.uk/products/vent-axia-lo-carbon-reviv...

There's also systems which can move air both ways through the whole house - https://www.ventilation-alnor.co.uk/index/support/alnor-know...

Your DIY solution looks a lot cheaper though.


But the post isn't talking about Microsoft, it's specifically calling the people that work on GitHub monkeys.


I don't see anybody called out by name.

To me saying 'product X is so bad, it's coded by monkeys' is not really a personal insult to a specific coder, but a decrying of a company.

Hell, if I would be a github engineer I'd probably agree.


You should also consider the point of view of anyone working on github and being paid by microsoft but who actually does care. Note that they are not named and shamed or anything like that.

Do you think there is a chance these hypothetical engineers who care actually want this kind of thing said publicly? And said as poetically invictive laden as possible? The rationale being that they might use such sentiment to get management to see the danger and /start/ caring about product quality?

I've never worked for microsoft. In my experience when product goes into quality decline, rubbish management is >90% of the reason. How futile is fighting that? How futile is fighting it for github? Does github matter in general? My own use is so limited it doesn't directly matter to me. Indirectly it might well do.

That would be easily 90% of GitHub.


The Copilot extension uses proposed APIs, meaning it's on an allowlist bundled with VS Code. Roo likely enables these early. The API can stay proposed for years before Microsoft opens it up to third party users.


There's also Eclipse Che. They wrote a web based IDE from scratch and made it compatible with VS Code extensions but also provided extra APIs.


Well this is why headlights have dipped beam and full beam. The issue is the dipped beam is getting as bright as the full beam used to be, and is mounted higher on the car as well.


It's still a form of rent seeking. They charge 2% because nobody else has the capability to create an alternative. It's preferable for a government to reduce rent seeking as it makes the economy more productive, eg by limiting the fee.


Age and city isn't all that identifying, I don't see anything useful there that isn't already in census etc. They are just doing it because YouTube promotes highly commented videos, hence the old saying "like, comment and subscribe"


It's not the age and location that are concerning. It's that the seniors who are especially susceptible to being misled will identify themselves as such. Further, if you look at the comments from these seniors, their YT usernames often reveal their real names.


Direct air capture can't be purchased at any price to even soak up 1% of our emissions.


That doesn’t mean that you can’t purchase it for x tons of carbon and use that to set the price.


That’s not how markets work though. For instance, just because one share of AAPL sold at $270 does not mean all 15 billion outstanding shares can be sold for that price. If a sell order was put in for even 10k shares you’d quickly find out that you might find a 270 bid for some of that but not all. Order flow is an important tool , bid/ask is misleading without it


As a developer, you have to offer your app on both phones otherwise your business won't get anywhere. There's no choice there.


Not considered? The words "Google Play" are in the judgment 47 times. Maybe you could read it?

By your logic, each of the two companies could use the other as an example and then both get away with breaking competition law. Two wrongs don't make a right.


> comparable yet notably omitted from the ranges the tribunal considered

Interesting to accuse people of not reading the document in a post where you don’t read a 3 sentence comment.
