distrust of Oracle is Mongo's main source of income. and it's a ~$25B company now.

As someone who worked for appnexus/xandr for years, this move makes sense. MSFT was already xandr's largest customer, and handled most of their MSN and Xbox supply. I'm happy for Everyone still there. this is a much better home than AT&T.

MSFT was already xandr's biggest customer. they ran dedicated hardware just for MSFT, and already handled most of their ads for msn and Xbox. they were already deeply linked companies.

live in Williamsburg, not Manhattan. everyone moves to Manhattan for a few years, realizes it's not worth it, and moves to Williamsburg. Skip the first phase.

That advice made sense 10 years ago when Williamsburg was cheaper. Now it's the same price and less convenient. I love Manhattan

Anything in Brooklyn is less convenient.

I tried to break my lower Manhattanite molding and stayed over in that part of Brooklyn for a month. I was even around some of those hardcore Brooklyners who would protest the idea of any event in Manhattan, and then every event they took me too was a lamer version of Manhattan. Or they wanted to go to Brooklyn Mirage every day. I had some other crews but its not for me. The biggest irony to me was that everything people in Brooklyn complained about, regarding Brooklyn, were the same things people in Manhattan complained about regarding Brooklyn. So I’m really turned off by collective delusion places especially when my luxury apartment dwelling friends have a choice in the matter.

The neighborhoods are nice, and the newer rooftops are mind blowing. But the classic circuit in Manhattan is for me. East Village, LES, Soho, Tribeca, Washington Square, West Village, Meatpacking.

Back in the attractive-because-its-gentrified part of Brooklyn:

Greenpoint? I dont get it. Every time you wanna go out its just walking further to Williamsburg or taking a convoluted path to Queens or Manhattan, and some really scary roads for bike/scooter.

Williamsburg? I’ll stick with visiting.

Fort Greene/Prospect Park? Beautiful, neighborly, I wish it was geographically close to other things like surrounded by Manhattan. But apparently I missed some action in downtown Brooklyn that none of my current friends do.

I lived in Manhattan the whole time I lived in New York, despite most of my friends living in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn is lame.

the cathedral in Barcelona was the first time thing I toured where I really thought about multi-generational projects.

from I've been told this is fake and totally staged.

If you're referring to the walk-through by the news crew, there is a certain amount of sanitization and scripting that happens anytime a military organization hosts a PR event like this, but the comms equipment overview on this website is spot-on.

do you have any evidence of this? from my personal experience pests are an even bigger problem for growing plants indoors.

lack of predatory parts of the food chain allow some pests to go unchecked.

just one spider mite in a greenhouse... could quickly overtake the whole thing with out natural predators like lady bugs and predatory mites.
