Anyone have any good readings or discussions on what Google Play policies are being cited here as the major obstacle? Just curious to learn more.

Edit: 20 testers policy? Sounds onerous.

Ah now I understand where you're coming from a little better.

Yeah I guess this particular article about a major event didn't seem as egregious to me.

Can't remember the last concert I went to that wasn't a money making venture and wasn't advertised for me to hear about it somehow.

Sure, Vans undoubtedly benefits from exposure. But so do music fans who want to see they favorite bands, and the bands that tour to make money.

Where is the advertising? I read the article more about a tour rather than an ad op for Vans

Should Warped Tour not be a thing simply because Vans runs it?

Awesome! Yep, definitely been there before too. Sometimes premature optimization gets you into more trouble: trying to set up something minimal when the conventional, more widely used approach "just works".

I will say you build more of an appreciation for how everything works when you have to struggle a bit. Especially networking. I was setting up a static IP the other day and took me more time than I care to admit to figure out it was a 0 instead of a 1 in my gateway. But I took some notes so next time I have to do that hopefully it'll go a bit smoother.

Have you been able to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the Network configuration page on the wiki?

Respectfully disagree. I've been waking up to Chum Lair from the Sable video game OST for a couple years now. I wake up in a good mood because me and my girlfriend think it's absolutely ridiculous and hilarious.

The quote you chose from that source is a bit misleading. 7.6 million voting eligible people in Georgia. Still an insane amount of votes to count.

I have a PhD in economics. Saying that the field "pledges" to be able to predict the future is pretty disingenuous. You'd be hard pressed to find any serious researcher in the field with that level of delusion.

Changelog media is another good source to complement this rec. Longer form, as opposed to breaking news, conversations about many OSS related (and software development in general) topics. Some of their now defunct programs like Request For Commits were some of my favorites.

Not at all. I agree that's what tax funds are for and ought to be spent when necessary. I'm just making a more nuanced point that it's unfortunate that government officials and the justice system not doing a proper job has led to two adverse outcomes.
