I think the Martian was adapted well from book to movie, so I have hope for this one. That said, compressing the entire story into a theatre runtime is tricky: I think it would be a win if only half of the character and relationship growth of the two ship bound protagonists comes through in the adaptation (because it was sooo good in the book!)

In the market for internet service, Starlink is a disruptor to existing ISPs. Especially for those servicing rural areas. I don't understand a reflexive reach to encumber a nascent business model with additional regulations. What problem are you trying to solve?

Popular with whom?

Newtonian physics is 'popular' because it is easy to grasp with a high school education.

Likewise, the theories of the early David Ricardo era are easy to understand, maybe popular, but not current with academics or practitioners.

I took gp's use of "opera" to describe an inclusive, wide range of genres that feature human relationships, like space operas. There's definitely mass appeal (think of Star Wars alone.)

> you do kind of root for him in the end

I'm rooting for him too. He doesn't have all the qualities of a classic protagonist, yet I find myself hoping that he succeeds in his madcap endeavors. I admire his grit: I would have not had his fortitude in the face of violent threats nor withstand the constant frustration.

I believe OAuth is working as expected. It provides valid authentication/identity for email addresses because "user@domain" and "user+wildcard@domain" are still validated as email addresses "owned" by the user.

The issue is with the Google org website: admins cannot revoke credentials for accounts/emails they cannot see.

> Because these non-Gmail Google accounts aren’t actually a member of the Google organization, they won’t show up in any administrator settings, or user Google lists.

Ah, yes, you are absolutely correct. The _clever form of one_ trick did not apply as often as I recalled!

In my limited math experience, I really found an appreciation of the number one. My favorite part of high school algebra was realizing that "solving for x" was often just a repeated exercise of multiplying each side of the equation by a "clever form of one."

> It reads like someone had a bad experience with a PM who thought they were Steve Jobs.

I had the opposite understanding about the article. Steve Jobs was an extraordinary leader who through immense will power created good products; an attempt to replace someone like Jobs as the product manager with an ordinary person will result in a mediocre product.

According to the book Breath by James Nestor, humans did not always have wisdom teeth problems: today, modern humans have small jaws because, during our youth, we spend less time chewing our food, so the muscles and bones in our skulls are stunted. Old skulls, like those found in crypts of old European cities, had larger jaws. (I'm going off of memory - my apologies if this explanation is too reductionist.)
