Second this. It's only been a few months since I started deploying Temporal at work, and there's no way that I would try implementing all this in-house.

This is not what OP said, at all. OP doesn't have to explain anything, or be "successful" explaining to you what the world is watching unfold in horror.

It is factually and correctly stated that any non-white, non-100%-perfectly-English-speaking person is a suspect in ICE views, detainable with no recourse. They said it themselves, the administration said that themselves, and there's ample evidence online of them enjoying doing it.

It is why people like me, who have legal status and business to conduct in USA are not gonna risk detention and deportation while ICE/DHS is operating. I'm Italian, my name is of Spanish origin, and I lived most of my life in Brazil so my accent is Brazilian. I have zero odds of convincing and ICE agent my passport isn't fake.

So, I'm out of going to Vegas, or doing talks, or anything else I have enjoyed doing in the USA in the past.


> It is factually and correctly stated

Being factually correct isn't always winning. Envoking correct emotions often is.


Exactly. As long as Guiana is happy doing multinational business with US-allied companies, they're active participants in USA trade hegemony and that is sufficient.

Venezuela is not. They're heavily sanctioned by the USA and have to do their petrol business elsewhere - also not using US dollars as exchange currency. POTUS made clear this situation will not continue as is.


Agreed. First couple of episodes are so good, when I was watching it really felt like the magic from watching EpIV again, as everything felt like being introduced to a new culture far away.

It really nails the feeling of watching an old Western movie where a cowboy bonds with an innocent person who needs protection against all odds.


Personally, I rate the midichlorians much higher as poison than Jar Jar, who could be safely ignored in subsequent movies anyway.


Andor S2 was around $350M and most likely paid for itself and some. [1]

> On the other hand, I guess it's still a business, at the end of the day.

You're right, in the sense that Andor was an exception regarding every other SW show on Disney+ for the past 4 years. All had high production costs and seems like Andor is the only one which recouped itself. Acolyte was a spectacular viewship failure.

So the business logic would be to cap costs, most likely in half for now on. I don't have high expectations of Disney learning the right lessons from Andor & Tony.

How exactly does a streaming show pay? Is it measured in new subscriptions when viewers hear the buzz and sign up to the service due to that show? Otherwise, the users stream it, or don't, they pay the same either way.

The inverse question too: why do streaming platforms cancel popular shows? Watcher count doesn't seem to be the metric I think it is.


I'd add those 2G > 3G > 3GS > 4 > 4s were iteration marvels to witness.


If you "relax" your notion of what is a "nation", even POTUS is at fault at this rule - USA has states (50), territories (5), unhabited territories (9), district (1), and a lot of extra-continental bases and even disputed territories. [0]

I believe USA also claims land around any Apollo device at the Moon. [no source]

If we're talking about claims to the moon, the Bishop of Orlando is Bishop of the Moon, because the Apollo missions took off from Cape Canaveral, in the Diocese of Orlando.


Yes, there's true to that, if only because "we" (latin americans) have given up to that discussion and just don't want to be confused with USA citizens.


Google is very good at recognizing existential threats. iOS were that to them and they built Android, including hardware, a novelty for them, even faster than mobile incumbents at the time.

They're more than willing to expand their moat around AI even if that means multiple unprofitable business for years.


In tech, Android's acquisition by Google is ancient history. It has zero relevance to today's Google.

When was it, 2006? Almost 20 years ago, back when the company was young.


Mobile is still nearly everything. Google continues to develop and improve Android in substantial ways. Android is also counted on by numerous third-party OEMs.

This doesn’t strike me as zero relevance.


This thread was about new markets, having foresight, being able to build "new".

Android and mobile are none of these things.


* acquired Android


They acquired the Android company years before the iPhone existed.

It was supposed to be a BlackBerry/Blackjack killer at the time.

And then the iPhone was revealed and Google immediately changed Android’s direction to become a touch OS.
