To be fair, MTBF is not something you can measure in a reasonable time for these kinds of review sites. Far better for this kind of thing is niche-specific youtube channels.
But in any case, what you're asking for here is a prediction of your future satisfaction with a product. It's a non-trivial problem even for the most innocuous purchases.
Will I like Lysol or Clorox wipes more? Who knows, and the reviews aren't going to beat first-hand experience in any circumstances.
> i wonder how you see this playing out in the future
In the near future, we're planning to expand into more general adblocking; we're currently focused on growth & there's still a lot of internal discussion happening, but we're most seriously considering a Spotify-style or micropayments model... very early days though - we just officially launched last week!
So you receive two clear and (at least to me as a non native speaker) straight emails aboit being not compliant. Looks like you changed the title after the first one to something that also was non compliant.
I actually can't see any reason to side with you on this matter. This is so clear cut. The mails, the documentation and the fact that Google warned in both cases. You already compounded two strikes and now complain about the third.
Apologies for not sharing earlier these details. I use a separate account for my google dev console, which I do not check frequently. I was traveling internationally from Nov 5 to Dev 6. So, so did not check emails in that a/c at all during that time. So, all of this happened in my absence. I did not get a chance to do anything. Imagine, coming back and find your home all destroyed, so yeah, that happened. Someone might say - it's my personal situation, but still. Hopefully, someone else might learn from my experience. In retrospect when I look back, I could have setup an email fwding in my dev account.
About 5-6 months ago, they raised an compliance issue about an image on my game's page. It was sudden and out of nowhere. The image was about a fighting image. I was not sure what's wrong, but I still removed it. Shortly, they again raised a concern about some keywords. I removed those also. But, this time I was not around, so did not get an opportunity.
I shared all of that in an appear to Google, but no effect :-(
Yes, the syntax doesn't have to be this way, it's just the way that the libraries in the ecosystem tend to do it. It works, but it does also have quite a few problems, imho. But since it's just a particular library, you can write your own or use a different one.
Good question! I'm also not a Rust expert, but maybe that syntax would be considered unsafe in some situations?
I think the 'peripheral access crates' try to auto-generate those sorts of struct objects from SVD files, but you still need to obey Rust's ownership rules to get the advantage of its built-in memory safety.
So if a function needs to modify a peripheral's memory, it needs to claim mutable ownership of the relevant peripheral registers. That's a feature of the language which makes it 'safer', but the cost/benefit calculation is a bit different on embedded platforms. They have less memory, and static allocation is usually preferred.
Still, microcontrollers are getting faster quickly. You can even run Linux on some cortex-M4/M7 chips. The verbose syntax might be worthwhile if you're collaborating on complicated firmware.
I'm not sure I agree on the safety aspect - if they only thing preventing unintentional peripheral access is verbosity, that's not really the kind of security that matters, is it?
Things like poor customer service (the OP that we're commenting on right now), limited POPs [0], low service quotas with unpredictable results if you hit them [1], limited services (limited instance types, no long tail of value-add services), requiring manual tickets for things that hyperscalers have fully automated, etc. Things of that nature. These are things that stem directly from being a very small hosting company, and that you won't see at a hyperscaler.
[0] Linode got DDOS'ed literally entirely off the Internet in December 2016. You can't take AWS down with a DDOS. You can take down an individual customer server but you can't take AWS offline with a DDOS.
Since you can't upgrade it yourself, buyers are paying more at point of purchase, and a high end machine depreciates significantly more over time. With something like framework, you can buy a base model and upgrade it as needed, and resell value of all models is higher because they can easily be repaired and upgraded.
In Germany, the employer must pay half of the monthly healtcare plan and the employee pays the other half. Goes like this since decades in one of the strongest economies of the world. Of course, Apple is more worth than the whole DAX...
Be careful of market cap numbers, they hide information and are almost meaningless: they don't describe volume behavior. If suddenly people realized Apple had to be sold as fast as possible, most of that value would evaporate to reach a more reasonable tangible asset value.
It's possible German stocks are well priced, in a regulated, slow and rational market that cares about fitting the price with the value of the company, and would hold most of their current market cap much more than Apple, were it liquidated.
>It's possible German stocks are well priced, in a regulated, slow and rational market that cares about fitting the price with the value of the company
LOL, well regulated and rational my ass. The Deutsche Bank and Wirecard scandals (puls numerous more) proved the German government is just as corrupt when it comes to manipulating the market and threatening honest journalists, so that some rich and well connected scumbags can get even more obscenely rich. I've worked in several western countries but never saw more high-level corporate corruption than in Germany.
Thanks for that insight. When it comes to Stocks & Co. I don't know much, if anything. I find it always interesting to read information, that puts things into a relative perspective. The information I had was from an infographic I saw a few weeks ago.
